In The Division, the “Underground” expansion is coming. Alongside various new group activities, this DLC will also provide tasks for solo agents.
As a Lone Wolf, things are not easy in The Division right now: The most challenging tasks, the incursions, are designed for a fireteam of four – unless you master “Clear Sky” all by yourself – and the Dark Zone was once more accommodating for solo players.
What options are left for a lone wolf in the endgame? Daily missions? HVTs? Only the south of the Dark Zone? The next big expansion is supposed to provide more variety.
Solo Players? Head into the Underground!
The community manager Hamish Bode talked in the last podcast about the underground missions of update 1.3. These will be varied PvE challenges that can be completed in a fireteam – or solo! According to Bode, that’s the cool thing about the underground. Everyone can play it as they like. The solo community will have every reason to celebrate.
In response to the question of whether one can also master the new difficulty level “Heroic” solo, Bode cheekily replied: Yes, probably. If you have good gear.
The “Heroic” mode will be the new highest difficulty in PvE of The Division. It is supposed to be “really” an extreme challenge, even for the best agents. However, it seems that as a solo player, one at least has no restrictions here.
Additionally, lone-agent players need not fear boredom or monotony in the underground – nor do fireteams. Each new “Underground Operation” will significantly differ from the others.
The layout is not just supposed to change a bit, so that one says: “Ah, I remember this place, it just looks a little different!” Instead, the underground areas are meant to offer completely new player experiences each time.
Different objectives and modifiers will also provide variety. Massive emphasized the high “replayability” at every opportunity during E3. Everyone should be kept busy in the long term: agent teams and lone wolves.
