    Is matchmaking broken?

    Whenever I try to match make I never join a group. Whenever I call for backup, noone shows up. Whenever I try to find a group, matchmaking stops searching after 3 seconds.

    Is matchmaking broken or is there already so few players?

    Not for me, used it consistently to level two characters to WT4.
    On the second character I did every story mission in a group via matchmaking too, this was on Xbox btw.
    Daily missions on my main first character via matchmaking too, because the game is very popular atm the wait times have been pretty much instant as well.

    Usually Xbox has the lowest player population in games behind PS4 and PC but I don't know the numbers for The Division 2.
    One thing you said stands out though:

    "Whenever I try to find a group, matchmaking stops searching after 3 seconds."

    It shouldn't do that, it doesn't "stop after 3 seconds" while you're in the queue for matchmaking.
    While searching for a group it should keep going in the background while you play until it either finds a group or you manually stop searching.

    Or the MM is broken or nearly everybody is playing solo or near max level already. I have been trying to make the "ask for help" work to do some side missions, but that is totally pointless in both ways. Nobody will eve join and barely anybody is using it at all. For main missions it is the same thing, i sit forever in the queue (30+ mins and counting) and maybe get ONE other player to join and that is it (bank on normal at 19:00 CET). The only thing i want to play, co-op, is basically unplayable, might as well have bought a single player game, at least i could change the balance in that case and have some fun.

    Same

    Have been trying to get matchmaking for Roosevelt Island for the last couple of days,because it’s pretty much impossible solo what with the never ending enemies,having to put a thousand rounds into a fuel tank,all the while spontaneously combusting whilst in cover because of god knows what.had to switch off the game because I can’t progress to choosing a Specialization because of it.

    In my experience, matchmaking works fine (XBOX) unless i am trying to find players for missions on hard difficulty. In that case i never find anyone.

    Maybe a bug? Where you at OP? I live in Asia and matchmaking is kind of weird. Whenever I matchmake I never got people joining in my session but I always get an invite to other players session. PC by the way.
