In the MMO shooter The Division, we present the gear set “Path of the Nomad”.
The “Path of the Nomad” is considered the gear set that solo agents should keep an eye on. This set helps you stay alive longer. If you don’t have buddies around to revive you in an emergency, this gear set can be a valuable option.
What the “Path of the Nomad” can do in The Division
The complete gear set consists of a total of six individual parts. You can find these in the Dark Zone, in the PvP area of The Division. While the vendor in the safe room in DZ06 has some parts for sale, you can only find others as loot from Named enemies or from supply drops. The specific locations of all set pieces in The Division are listed here.
Each part of the “Path of the Nomad” grants you certain bonuses, such as increased damage from critical hits or protection from elites. Once you have equipped multiple individual components of the set, additional bonuses will be unlocked. With four pieces, a unique talent activates.
- 2 pieces: +100% Scavenger. Info on scavenging in The Division can be found here.
- 3 pieces: +20% health from kills.
- 4 pieces: Talent “Nomad”: After receiving fatal damage, health is automatically restored to full. Can only be used once every 10 minutes.
This set is controversial in the community. As the YouTuber ThePwnstar4hire says, the bonus from 3 pieces is a true lifesaver. In both PvE and PvP, health is regenerated by 20% with every kill. This allows you to stay alive longer in combat, particularly for offensive builds – or solo builds – this bonus is outstanding.
However, many agents are skeptical of the unique talent “Nomad”. Some users report that it doesn’t work in the Dark Zone, while others believe it is buggy. Even in PvE, this talent seems to react randomly: Sometimes it activates when health is low, but then again does not. According to user reports, the cooldown time has always elapsed during self-tests. The following video shows this talent in action:
It is unclear when exactly the talent intervenes. Therefore, the YouTuber ThePwnstar4hire for example has often used a medical skill to regenerate low health – however, at the same time the talent activated and the skill was wasted. Here, the YouTuber wishes for more transparency and a visual display of when the talent becomes active.
After the talent has been activated, the “Nomad” icon displays the cooldown. You can find this symbol below the grenades.
Except for this questionable talent, the “Path of the Nomad” is useful as a whole to stay alive longer. However, it is not a favorite among most agents.
What do you think of the Path of the Nomad?
The “Call of the Watch” set in The Division is considered by many agents to be the best gear set currently in the game.
