In Tom Clancy’s The Division, there are numerous abbreviations for certain terms. We tell you what they mean.
Those agents who are diving into Ubisoft’s MMO shooter must first find their way in this hostile world. What is that glowing thing on my wrist? What is it about and how do you control the colleague at all?
The many abbreviations in The Division do not make the entry easier, but additionally cause confusion. However, a solid knowledge of most of these cryptic letter combinations is necessary to enhance the agents effectively.
This is what the abbreviations in The Division mean
Many abbreviations concern information about your weapons and items. However, you also encounter other strange designations.
- ISAC = Intelligent System Analytic Computer. This is the talking clock on your agent’s wrist. It supports you in the post-apocalypse by warning you of enemies, accepting transmissions, or creating ECHOs. The Division technician Simon Keyes is responsible for maintaining an ISAC node in New York.
- ECHO = Evidence Correlation Holographic Overlay. Your watch uses data from technical devices, such as surveillance cameras or smartphones, to make past events visible to you as a 3D hologram. Some of these ECHOs you need to activate to complete missions.
- JTF = Joint Task Force. This is a crisis intervention team consisting of police, military, and medical emergency organizations. The Division agents support this unit.
- DZ = Dark Zone. This is the PvP area in The Division, into which you can seamlessly transition from the open world. The “DZ” abbreviation, for example, appears with the DZ class, which depends on your level and gear score.
- Mods: Modifications. You can equip and upgrade skills, weapons, and armor pieces with mods.
- RST = Armor. If you increase the armor value, enemy bullets can do less damage to you. The current maximum is 65%. This will be raised to 75% with the May update.
- SPS = Damage per second. A statement of how much damage you deal with your weapon. This value depends on numerous factors, which are not very transparent to the agents. However, the “true strength” is not only represented by the SPS value alone.
- SPM = Shots per minute. A statement for the fire rate of the weapon.
- SCH = Damage.
- MAG = Magazine.
- BNS = Bonus
- KAP = Capacity
