New players ps4

Got a couple questions. Working my way though chaos 2 and it's almost impossible to find a group on ps4. Is it always like this and how do you progress. 0 groups and not strong enough to solo II. I can solo chaos 1 but don't get any upgrades. Secondly,  being flooded with new gear constantly.  Do you redo shards and upgrade every new item every time?  Groups in expedition are rare and groups in onslaught are non existing. Looked at some guides and most are based around getting a group..any tips would be appreciated 

I have to say that a majority of your DD2 time will be solo. While it's a multiplayer game, very often groups are either hard to find, or you end up with 1-2 people who have no idea what they are doing and are a detriment to winning.  But, don't worry. You can solo basically everything in the game. 

As to Chaos2, C2 is all about Cyborcs, which means don't use traps, nodes or auras.  You need towers that hit from a distance.  Ensure each has a destruction shard from C1. Cannonball towers are good, since squire is a base hero you have access to. Use a spike blockade to keep lanes from getting overrun. You can also build def is weird places where enemies will not target them, so experiment with placing.  

You can also- just play more. As you keep leveling up, you get stronger and stronger.  Swap out gear and relics for better versions.  Don't bother leveling up these itmes yet though,  as you will be swapping gear constantly until C7. Look for good MODs though,  like anti-mele or power.  

One last tip- gear score mule. Take one hero, who you don't have to play with or not, and ensure you put every high level gear score on tgem. Gear score controls when the next chaos level opens, and C3 is much easier IMO than C2, as no annoying Cyborcs (use auras on C3). 

Hope that helps.

Awsome, thx for the tips. 

Focus on 1 hero for your main as DPS to start. Use the auto equip button as you do maps until you get into C7. Flame aura and Lightening aura will be your best overall use but Cyborks you will need some sort of Tower in the lane , Cannons and Poison Dart towers are great for that. Aura can work but you need to learn placement and have enough Range on the them ( deadly strikes , range mod)

DD2 is about grinding out maps and upgrading gear and building out your defenses. Learning to know what works and what doesn't to counter enemies. 

Collect Deadly strike , Destruction and Defense Rate Shards they will be used for everything.

Just to add, since they are on C2 right now. Deadly Strikes drops on C3, Def Rate on C4. 

These plus destruction (C1) are basically the shards you should put on every single attacking def in the game. And you should level these to max as soon as you can. Unlike gear, you won't be swapping these out. Grind c1, c3, and c4 to ensure you have these shards on everything you use (sans barricades of course). Makes a word of difference.

The game actively tracks gear score since one of the last big updates!
