In Tom Clancy’s The Division counts the Caduceus among the high-end weapons with proper names. We present the assault rifle.
Those who were able to test The Division in the closed or open beta probably held the Caduceus assault rifle in their hands as their first high-end weapon in their early agent life. Back then, we reported on the Caduceus and the Cassidy, the most coveted weapons in the test phases of the MMO shooter. But how does the Caduceus perform in the full version of The Division?
The Caduceus cannot be crafted; it can be obtained as a random drop from Named enemies outside the Dark Zone, such as for example, from Bullet King. It is also found from bosses in daily missions on “Hard” and “Challenging”.
This is what makes the Caduceus special in The Division
The Caduceus is based on the SCAR-L weapon type. As a weapon with a proper name, the skin of the Caduceus cannot be changed. The talents are also fixed.
This type of assault rifle impresses with a high optimal range, a fast reload speed, and a solid base damage. The stability is also commendable. The biggest disadvantage of SCAR rifles is the quickly expanding reticle, which allows hardly any precise shots in succession.

Is the Caduceus worth it in The Division?
This question must be answered with a “Yes” and a “No”. According to Arekkz Gaming, it is definitely not the best assault rifle in The Division. However, it is worth having this weapon in your arsenal, as it is useful for a skill power build.
In the case of the Caduceus, the talent Coolheaded particularly stands out. However, this talent also appears on other weapons, albeit with a lower chance. If this talent is the only reason for you to obtain the Caduceus: There are also other options available for acquiring Coolheaded.
