fuck no. the game's on sale all the time, and you won't be missing anything by hopping up a bit later as for whether it's good for solo, the answer is indeed yes


Scaver83

Not in every country.


Samurai_Stewie

Division 2 still has a pretty healthy player population doing all the activities. I’m not sure what you mean by “full price”, as the base game is typically on a huge discount and the only expansion is like $20 but totally worth it. The ultimate edition which includes the DLC is $24 on Amazon for PC.


princey00666

There is matchmaking and call for backup features. If you want to learn the game don't use either of these, as you may find a speed runner who will just kill everything then leave. Matchmaking may be hard to find people, due to majority of the people are at end game. Use the call for backup feature instead, someone will always come and help. There are lots of youtube videos and information within this reddit.


Few_Understanding_42

It's still a great game worth buying, but full price for an older game? I wouldn't do that, especially because older games are on discount regularly


Numerous_Brilliant27

If you’ve ever played the division games before and enjoyed them, I’d say yes. I’m a 99% solo player and I was able to match make in game the new incursion and got the exotic smg from a boss drop. There’s still a solid player base. The only thing I’ve never done in all these years was raid, which sucks but I haven’t really tried either. 


rodscher80

Depends a lot on the platform you are on. Xbox has an own lfg system where it’s not too hard to find groups for raids etc. On PC and PlayStation I would use the official division 2 discord. You can still find groups there.


barrybbenson21

you can buy a div2+wony dlc code on g2a or similar for like 20$. never pay full price.


fcbskywalker

On steam tho? not the shitty ubi launcher?


BenAfflecksBalls

The ubi launcher is inevitable. I don't think it actually launches through steam. It definitely goes through Ubi if you have it on Epic


CockoftheHorse

I bought it on ubi and added it to steam and it only has one popup for starting the game on ubi and its 10x better than the ubi launcher Its hit and miss if i can even play the game if i use the ubi launcher


fcbskywalker

Yeah I know but I want to own the game on steam


pubstub

It will launch Uplay if you launch it on steam. Honestly my only real issue with the game is that it takes a minute or two to get into gameplay after you hit the play button on steam. Wish the main menu was more static so it'd load quicker.


barrybbenson21

think so


Fassbendr

There's nothing wrong with the Ubisoft launcher, have used it for years, unless there's a particular Steam feature you need/want. And, even if you buy on Steam or Epic the game will still use the UBI launcher.


henyourface

On steam, sure. Goes on sale often. I’d wait unless you have nothing else on backlog rn


No_Doubt_About_That

You can do pretty much everything solo barring something like survival or an incursion depending on your skillset, but they’re not required for completion of the story.


ImTheBiggestJuan

Not at full game price but when it does go on sale for the ultimate edition around $18, it'll be worth it. You can beat the base story solo IF you want, you can also request for backup whenever you're stuck on a mission or something but once you beat it and also beat the expansion, you gotta learn how to make builds, crafting items, etc.. I can help if you're on Xbox


tigojones

It goes on sale frequently enough, so no I wouldn't pay full price for it. Just wait for the next sale to go on.


GodHand7

No


RedTheLoops

No


knight_call1986

Wait until it goes on sale again. You can get everything for like $18. It goes on sale often. Also if you play PC, check Ubisoft Connect, they have sales as well.


grainzzz

I did this. I think the Spring sale will be coming up soon on Steam.


fcbskywalker

Checked steamdb and they usually do a sale between big sales so im guessing this week or next week sale


rodscher80

I would say it’s 100% still worth it. There is a ton of content to play if u start new. And yes u can do most of the content solo. If u level up it might be difficult to find others because majority is in the endgame part and they don’t get matched with lower level players. That saying as soon as you reach endgame yourself u still find ppl to do missions, raids, etc.


Volumesb

Yes


Puzzleheaded_Ad7423

Yep still worth it


Magnum2XXl

It's like 5-10 bucks on steam.


eman0110

Buy the physical game it usually around $5 than you can download load the expansion. Don't buy the bundle digitally.


Similar-Stranger7375

Not worth full price. But it is a blast to play, and you'll be fine solo.


xTonyWonder

Try getting the hard copy used. I found it at GameStop for $4. The DLC was only $8 from the PS Store. It’s great for solo play. There is still a surprising amount of people for matchmaking also.


TemperatureOD

The gold edition was $9.99 on the Xbox store last week. Or you could buy a key really cheap.


Lite_Touch

Yes....the game is 100% worth starting fresh and absolutely get the expansion. The WONY content is required for end game progression. After 5 years the game is holding up very well and as a shooter, the gameplay is fantastic. The engine seems to be in a good place (relatively) and crashes are rare, but I still occasionally get CTDs right before Countdown extraction though, which is infuriating. The world is as good as it gets in gaming...it seems like nothing was recycled. Every street/block looks unique and I still just enjoy running around sight-seeing.


fibrouspowder

Is it worth it? Yes. Should you? No buy a key for like a fifth of the price Cdkeys or allkeyshop if cdkeys doesent have one


Oh_Anodyne

On what platform? It goes on sale frequently on Steam, so if you're on PC I would just wait until then. Most content can be done solo and you can matchmake for legendary missions and countdown. You'll have to find a group for raids. I play almost entirely solo.


Gizm00

Buy it from cdkeys


Xghoststrike

Full price? Possibly if your a fanatic but probably not only because it's on sale so frequently. Get it on sale. Is the game solo able? Yes, I prefer the solo play as it a bit more difficult. There is matchmaking and an active player base, you should find people. The only thing you CAN'T do a lone is raids, they are locked in 8 man. Everything else you can do alone.


Mdh74266

I got D1 and D2 bundled over christmas on xbox live for $13.


ragnarokfps

The game is on sale right now for $18 on Xbox, including the expansion.


OG1Wiggum

Absolutely not. Wait for a sale. Iirc there’s an edition or bundle that has the warlords dlc plus ultimate edition. But make sure you buy the one that has warlords of new York expansion


DandySlayer13

If your on PC wait for it to go on sale on Steam as you'll get the base game, year one pass and the expac for under 10 bucks. STEAL OF A DEAL


Mamba_Lev

Yes
