    I can't tell if you are referring to TD1 or 2. TD2 is here: https://forums.ubisoft.com/forumdisp...ral-Discussion

    If you are asking if the expansions are worth it for The Division 1 as a solo player, my answer would be "it depends". The season pass is generally the same price as 2 of the 3 expansions. Solo, you won't be playing Last Stand which from what I understand, is largely empty and hard to find a game for. It is PvP only. The other two expansions are fine for solo. The reason I'd suggest getting the Season Pass instead of just the expansions is twice a month you get caches. The gear you get isn't much good, but you'll get some of the hard to earn Div Tech. You'll get it for each end game character you have. If I remember correctly, it is 100 Div Tech per character.

    As far as the expansions themselves, there are a lot of videos showing/explaining them so I won't go into great detail. They can be fun, but I tend to play them in streaks. The Underground hasn't been polished as much as the rest of the game and you'll find glass walls here and there. The traps everywhere are more annoying than they are dangerous. However, they have Hunters in the underground, as well as in Survival. These are arguably the smartest A.I. They are not just bullet sponges, but they can heal themselves, use skills, and if they get in melee range, can one-hit melee you like in legendary.

    In the underground, you'll run short missions that generally take ~10 minutes per stage. You will have your own leveling progression in the underground that goes up to level 40 (this does not change your overall end game level of 30). Most of the Directives are fine, but the shock ammo one is annoying AF, especially solo.

    For Survival, it is not a horde mode like a lot of games that have a survival name. No, this mode is more or less like you start as a fresh level 30 player each time you play. You'll only have a pistol. You have to pick your battles until you get better gear. Survival also introduces two new aspects. One, is your clothing actual has a functional use in that they have a cold rating and keep you from freezing. The other, is you got injured and have a septic timer. If you can stay up with the meds in this mode, you can potentially play for ~2:15 or so. I will say that Survival has a steep learning curve. Don't expect that you'll complete it the first few runs. You might want to look up a Survival map so you'll have an idea where to look for what crafting materials. I normally don't suggest watching videos at all, since part of the fun of a new game is figuring it out. However, Survival might be worth doing that, just so you get an idea of what it is different from the regular game and what to expect. Or, join someone for a couple of runs. This game mode is good solo, or maybe one other player. If you get more than that, the competition is too great for supplies unless split up widely.
