Everything you need to know to survive NYC and become the most feared Agent in the Dark Zone.
The Division guide: how to make money, level fast, survive the Dark Zone
Ubisoft Massive’s The Division is a huge hybrid of shooter and role-playing game. It’s easy to get into – you just grab a machine gun, get in cover and start taking potshots at the enemies. And just like that, you’re sprinting through New York, grabbing loot and teaming up with buddies to survive the bullet-riddled city.
But you don’t want to just survive. Beyond the basics of the game there’s a lot to understand; leveling up, currency systems, crafting, how the Dark Zone works, gear, perks and more. We’re here to break it all down for you, including guides to all Incursions, new weapons, Gear Sets and DLC.
Remember, if you’re looking for a group to play The Division, our partners at The100.io have the perfect LFG solution.
