In The Division, the submachine gun Valkyria was introduced with the update 1.1. We present this high-end weapon.

The named submachine gun Valkyria is a weapon that is currently highly sought after among agents. It can not only boost your DPS value, but it also looks stylish and is difficult to obtain. Its shiny golden look with a bit of black and silver already gives it a “bling-bling” status.

Currently, the Dark Zone weapon dealer has the Valkyria in stock, but he does not hand it out to just any passing agent. You must be at least DZ Rank 90 and have 259149 DZ currency in your wallet to be able to acquire this high-end weapon. For many agents, it will probably remain just a dream for now. In The Division, since the update 1.1, there are items that can only be obtained from DZ Rank 75 and 90. But is all that effort worth it for this weapon?

What makes the Valkyria special in The Division

The Valkyria is not only a visually extravagant weapon that is hard to get, but it is also quite useful in combat. It comes with high precision and reload speed values, while the range is anything but good. However, since submachine guns are generally recommended for short distances, this is not a major drawback. You can see the specific stats of this weapon, without mods equipped, below:

These are the weapon perks:

• Determined: When you eliminate a target, the cooldowns of your skills are reduced by 9%.
• Competent: After using a skill, the weapon damage is increased by 13.5% for 10 seconds.
• Responsive: Damage is increased by 13.5% when you are closer than 10 meters to your target. Since the weapon’s range is not very high, this talent should be useful for you.

While Responsive is always active, you need high values in firearms and electronics to activate the other two fixed talents.

Furthermore, the Valkyria grants a 21% chance to land critical hits.

It is advisable to use this weapon with its talents in a build that focuses on your agents’ skills. In our The Division guide collection, you will find several builds that are presented in detail.

If you equip this weapon with mods that increase magazine size and fire rate, the gun becomes a deadly mass destruction weapon – but only at close range. The YouTuber TwoSixNine highly recommends it for this offensive playstyle. Both in PvE and in the Dark Zone, you not only look incredibly stylish, but you also deal massive damage. The Valkyria will enrich every agent’s arsenal – not only collectors will enjoy it.

Valkyria – looks great on the outside, but what about the inside?

But is the Valkyria really worth the hard work to reach DZ rank 90? Some agents report that they are rather disappointed with the Valkyria, as they expected more from a weapon with such requirements. Compared to other popular submachine guns, such as the Vector 45 ACP or the Tactical AUG A3P, it does not stand out at all.

While the Valkyria has significantly higher precision and the highest rate of fire among these weapons, its other values are at best average, and its range is even the lowest of the popular SMGs. Also, the fixed talents do not fit every playstyle, as the random talents of other submachine guns allow for more variations and specializations. A user on reddit predicts that many agents will probably be disappointed with the Valkyria.

In the following video by TwoSixNine, you can see the Valkyria in action:

In The Division, an Easter egg was discovered that refers to Bungie’s MMO shooter Destiny.

In The Division, there are numerous Easter eggs, hidden features usually pointing to well-known series and games. Now, clever agents, who apparently also know the existence of a Guardian, have found an Easter egg that clearly refers to Destiny. See for yourself:

Xur in the post-apocalypse of The Division

On a license plate, a reddit user discovered the following inscription: 777 9Xur. You can find the pickup with this plate smoking in Park Ave in Turtle Bay, around the coordinates 1620/2448.

That Xur is a mysterious merchant in Destiny, who awaits his customers with exotic goods every weekend, is likely known to many players who do not fulfill their duties as Guardians every day. The number 9 is also easily explained: Xur is the Agent of the Nine. The signs are piling up that this is no coincidence!

And what about the numbers 777? The number 7 is known as Bungie’s favorite number, especially in the Halo series, this number is encountered frequently. Not without reason is the entire Bungie community referred to as “7th Column”. In Destiny, you encounter 7, for example, in the trophies/achievements: A success is unlocked when you reach 777 Grimoire points.

The situation seems certain that Ubisoft Massive has played a prank by embedding a Destiny Easter egg in their game. The community gratefully picks up this joke and joyfully fantasizes that now all the secrets about Xur have been revealed:

If Xur is not currently in the Tower with his goods, he apparently roams the world of The Division, according to a user. In addition, one should consider that Xur is an agent of the Nine – could “the Nine” be Division agents or another secret organization? At least the color of the pickup fits Xur’s style. Only the extravagant tentacle facial hair cannot be smoothly integrated into the scenario of The Division …

In any case, players are enjoying this find, which allows for many creative fantasies.

Do you have no time to care about Easter eggs because you have to stop the LMB? In this guide, we show you how to complete “Falcon lost” in challenge mode – completely without glitch!

In The Division, there has been a trading feature since update 1.1. We will show you how to successfully sell your items.

Even during the beta phases of The Division, it became clear to Ubisoft Massive that the community wanted a trading feature in the game. Allegedly, there was a long discussion about whether and in what form this feature would be introduced, as the developers revealed in a livestream.

Trading in The Division is limited

With update 1.1, agents now have a trading option, which works but is only available within a limited scope. Here are the requirements for trading:

• You can share items with other players that enemies have dropped.
• You share the acquired items by dropping them on the ground with a button press. The item can now be picked up by other players or by yourself as loot. To drop the object, simply go to your inventory and press “Share Object”:

  

• The items can only be traded for one hour after you have picked them up.
• You can only leave objects to players who are currently in your group and were part of the group when the object was originally dropped.
• Items that you have modified cannot be traded.
• To trade items from the Dark Zone, you must first go to a safe area (safe zone or checkpoint!) to leave the items for your group members. Alternatively, you can extract the items, go to the stash, pick them up there, and drop them for the beneficiaries.

Random encounters in the Dark Zone cannot snatch your loot that you want to trade away directly. Due to the limiting factors, it will also not be possible to offer your items on online marketplaces and sell them for a few euros. Massive is putting a stop to such trades.

However, if you want to do a favor for your buddy and give him your delicious, freshly dropped items while he ended up empty-handed again, you can take advantage of this new trading option.

In The Division, to the dismay of many players, another bug has occurred: After completing the raid “Falcon Lost”, there are no weekly rewards for the agents’ efforts.

Just last night, a hotfix was spontaneously applied, which on the one hand prevents players from exploiting the “Falcon Lost Exploit”, and on the other hand brings back the missing agents for some Xbox users. It was hoped that now the biggest problems had been resolved for the time being.

But now The Division is plagued by another bug that also affects the new endgame activity “Falcon Lost”: after completing the raid, agents do not receive their deserved weekly reward.

Weekly raid rewards will only be available again from next week

Massive has already addressed this in the Ubi Forum. As community developer Yannick Banchereau states, unfortunately there will be no “weekly rewards” this week. However, they should be properly available again with the completion of maintenance on Tuesday.

This is not a clear statement; Yannick writes in the subjunctive (“should”). Whether a solution will be found by Tuesday seems still to be in limbo.

The community is far from pleased with this news. So far, hardly a week of The Division has gone by without numerous bugs, exploits, or cheats coming to light. Moreover, there is great frustration that apparently those agents who exploited the situation to get rewards did everything right – as the decent agents who now want to tackle it the normal way will go without rewards for the rest of the week.

If there are new official announcements, we will report on them.
