The MMO shooter “Tom Clancy’s The Division” is also supposed to offer challenges for solo players. We summarize this and information about the weapons and classes in this article.
In an interview with the Playstation blog, further details about “The Division” were unveiled. Those who have seen the E3 demo featuring the PvE/PvP area “Darkzone” might get the impression that it is only suitable for full teams. However, that will not be the case: Those who enter alone will find NPCs that are significantly weaker and can also be defeated by them alone.
In “The Division,” the enemies will “scale” with the group size, it’s said.
No Classes, But Still an RPG
There will not be “classes” in that sense. However, players can specialize by choosing a specific path or invest points into everything and switch between abilities.
This way, it will be possible to pursue the preferred playstyle, so one could be a sniper, a medic, or just someone who deals a lot of damage. While the game is seen as “classless,” it is also considered a “evolution of the traditional role-playing game.”
In Weapons, One Seeks Compromise
In a recent podcast, the topic of weapons was also discussed, and the fan site mydivision summarized:
- Players will receive a primary and a secondary weapon. In addition, everyone gets a pistol.
- Ammunition will be available – but not in abundance. However, it should not be particularly rare, as that creates emotional stress.
- There will be no wear and tear on the weapons, but the engine allows for some effects: When the weapon is fired frequently, the barrel will glow, for example.
On Facebook, The Division posted this fictional cover page of a New York daily newspaper from December 4th. Here, players who are proficient in English can read what happened on the day of the first attacks. In December, the beta for Xbox One will also launch.
