The Division 2 Beginner Tips
Always Deconstruct or Donate Unwanted Gear
As you progress in The Division 2, you will inevitably pick up better gear to replace your old stuff. While it might be tempting to sell these off to vendors for a quick bit of money, we recommend deconstructing them or donating them instead.
While at Settlements, you can donate gear to the Projects sector. Once you’ve donated all the necessary materials and items, the project will be completed, rewarding you with valuable items and blueprints.
On the other hand, unwanted gear can be deconstructed to give you crafting materials, which can then be put towards crafting even better stuff later on. It’s worth noting that you do need money for crafting, so if you find yourself in a tight spot financially, it’s fine to sell off a few low-level pieces.
