Can i access LOWER world tiers somehow? | Forums

There is difficulty system in place that cater to all types of players from the more casual to the more hardcore ones. There is even World Difficulty, which is IMO the best future they could've added to the game, because it made Open world interesting again.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. With even low-rolled gear at your appropriate level (30 or 40, depending on whether you own the expansion), there should be no reason to go back to lower World Tiers. The Normal/Story difficulty setting should be plenty easy enough for everyone. World Tiers in The Division 2 exist mostly as a holdover from The Division 1, and as a way to stagger the added complexity of end game. Warlords of New York has no world tiers, near as I can tell. It also has no gear score. That entire concept seems to have been deprecated. Stick to lower difficulty settings and you should be fine.

I like having fun with shotgun and shields. And you can't do that in WT4.
It's barely functioning in WT1 to begin with.

I don't follow. What's the issue with using shotguns and shields in World Tier 5? With enough Skill Tier or enough "blue shields," you can get a pretty tanky shield and there are quite a few pretty good shotguns. I'm currently using a shotgun build on level 40 Challenging consisting of the Firewall shield (the one which supports a shield + shotgun combo) and a 13-round pump with the Close and Personal Talent. It's not the best build in the world, but it works just fine.

You're responding to a year-old thread, when the game was completely different.

I am? Oh, geez... OK, my bad. I did not realise the OP was this old. My apologies. Explains my lack of understanding, though.
