In the upcoming MMO shooter “The Division”, the weather will change, but it remains an eternal winter. How does that affect stealth missions?
At the Games Week in Milan, the lead designer of “The Division,” James Arthur, revealed some further details about the shooting hope.
There is no Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in The Division
Recently, there has been information about the weather in The Division. Arthur stated that in “The Division” it is always winter. There is no other season. However, the weather has an effect: in a storm, NPCs may not recognize the player as well as usual. While the weather will not directly affect the weapons, which won’t suddenly jam, it will have an effect on aiming with the weapons as we now know.
The “stealth missions” known from many games are not explicitly in the game, but it offers a tactical advantage to sneak up on enemies.
The louder, the more tanks
A typical “threat mechanic” that also requires tanks seems to exist in “The Division”. You can use “silencers” to fire at enemies for a longer time without being detected, and even if they notice you, they will likely turn to the opponent who is the “loudest” and draws the most attention.
How to customize and individualize your agent in The Division
Players will be able to individualize their characters during character creation in the following areas:
- in gender
- in skin color
- in scars, piercings, and tattoos
- in body shape
- and the backpack is also separately adjustable
This aligns with the assurances that The Division is a pure RPG with all the associated advantages, especially regarding the customization of one’s character.
The Division is set to release in March for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
