On the occasion of the Open Beta of The Division, which goes live for Xbox today, the developers of the MMO shooter have a few tips for you.
Ubisoft Massive has released a series of videos that provide you with some starter tips so that you won’t perish hopelessly in the apocalypse. We present these videos and summarize the pro tips concisely.
Customize the User Interface as Desired
Well, this tip probably doesn’t fall under the category of “Pro Tip”. However, it could be quite useful if the many numbers on the screen confuse you. In the settings, you can customize your User Interface and for example turn off the numbers that indicate the damage to your opponents.
Matchmaking with the Mega Map
You can use the Mega Map for matchmaking to form a strike team with other players. However, you first need to unlock Madison Square. Once a match is available, you can choose “accept” and be teleported directly into the group. And here’s the pro tip: If you’re currently in a fight or otherwise don’t have time, you can ignore the fun and just go somewhere else. Incredible! Really groundbreaking what Ubisoft is bringing out for pro tips. Let’s take a look at the next one.
Use the Consumable Wheel
This video gives you the tip to use the Consumable Wheel in fiercely contested battles, which is the wheel that allows you to select items like explosives or water. This one:
How to Handle Dark Zone Currency
When you go from “outside the Dark Zone” to “inside the Dark Zone”, you will encounter a vendor in this transition zone where you can purchase stylish equipment and weapons with Dark Zone currency. And the pro tip here: kill NPCs in the Dark Zone; this is said to be an easier and quicker way to acquire DZ currency than challenging other agents.
Well, these pro tips that Ubisoft Massive talks about are rather disappointing. Many users also comment on the videos with irony and mockery. They may be useful to some agents at the beginning of their journey, but most of it can be figured out during the first few minutes of gameplay anyway.
Did any tip possibly impress you more than me?
