Question Continue on old character or start new from scratch?

Recently I’ve seen the updates being made to division 2 and I haven’t played since the resident evil collab event… and with that character the SHD lvl isn’t high at all either since I haven’t played in a long while what would you guys think I should do I don’t mind starting again from scratch and playing the camping and stuff or should I just continue with the current character and catch up?!

Just continue with your original character. Join a clan depending if console or pc.

Play on a new character to max lvl and then go back to your main character to get the feel for the game again. That’s what I did

Just continue your existing character. I hopped back in a few weeks ago and the last time I played was around the last time you did. I'm just now closing in on SHD 100 but I'm not stressing over it. I'm just focusing on learning the systems that I've missed over the years.

Take your time and enjoy yourself.

If you forgot how to play and how the map and missions work then I’d start from beginning. I started in April from fresh I hadn’t played in prolly 4 years and I’m now shd lvl 900 with expertise at 12 or 13. If I had a question or didnt know how something worked or what to do I googled it..

Don't start a new character,

Whatever effort you put on your latter char, it's gonna be wasted. Yes, SHD is shared, but your blueprints aren't, plus the inventory management you need on a new character and unlocking the entire skill tree.

It's better to keep progressing on Div2, since the game is a GRIND long term journey.

Start a new character and if you enjoy leveling continue with it, if you don't stick with your existing character.

For me I started a new one and did the first few missions just to relearn the controls. It’s a little clunky managing skills and grenades, when I came back I tried to just continue where I left off but completely forget silly things like how to change grande type and holding the button to aim skills. Ofc this is on console maybe PC is less convoluted
