The shared-world shooter The Division is still full of secrets. The US gaming magazine Game Informer presents some “mysteries” that cannot be explained, with a good dose of humor.
“What’s going on here, how can this be?” Have you also wondered in The Division about some things that didn’t seem quite right? Ubisoft’s latest game claims to represent a realistic scenario and even derives from developed disaster simulations, yet one occasionally encounters circumstances in this post-apocalyptic New York that cannot be explained.
10 unresolved mysteries in The Division
Game Informer has summarized some “unresolved mysteries” that inspired us for the following compilation. See for yourself:
Mystery 1: Why are so many enemies called “Alex”?
When Division agents eliminate certain NPCs, it may happen that still living enemies lament the death of a certain “Alex”: “They got Alex!”, or in German: “Sie haben Alex erwischt!” The questionable part is that many of the enemies being lamented are named Alex. Other names are in short supply. Definitely mysterious!

Mystery 2: When did neck tattoos become so popular?
Some agents were disappointed with the character creation in The Division: The number of customization options is quite limited. However, one thing that agents have a fairly large selection of is neck tattoos. With 28 different neck tattoos, you can uniquely “beautify” your character. But since when have these eye-catching tattoos been so popular in New York?
Is there perhaps an interesting story behind these tattoos? Probably not. But at least we now know that such “special” body arts do not disqualify one from working in a top-secret government unit.
Mystery 3: Since when do these “super batteries” exist?
Everywhere in the post-apocalyptic New York, there are smartphones and laptops that still function perfectly. These devices are carelessly lying on the ground, far from outlets, with glowing screens. How strong must their batteries be?
Nowadays, one is glad if the laptop lasts a few hours and the smartphone a day before it needs to be recharged. Even though not everything in post-apocalyptic New York is great, the batteries most definitely are.
Mystery 4: What are those screens in The Division?
Speaking of technical devices: When you shoot at screens in The Division, they are initially “realistically” destroyed. The developers placed great value on this realistic destruction of objects. But have you ever shot at a screen for a long time?
While you destroy the screen with the first bullets and leave bullet holes, the following bullets have a “repairing effect”. If you keep firing at the screen, the previous bullet holes disappear, and the screen looks almost like new.
On the following pages, you can expect a “secret weapon” and mysterious streetlights!
