A small Christmas miracle happened in The Division.
“I’ve been to the Lexington Center 100 times,” Ducati46 tells reddit. And yet he still hadn’t received Barrett’s bulletproof vest. The vest is currently the most sought-after item in The Division. Many agents run into the same mission like on an assembly line – the final boss there has a low chance to drop the coveted item. The vest provides special benefits, teasing out those few extra percentage points of performance that so many crave.
“I’ve seen others in my group receive the vest four times,” Ducati continues. “And I’ve always been happy for them. It’s great when someone catches the unicorn.”
Yesterday at Christmas, it was the fifth time that someone in a mismatched group, where Ducati was present, received the item. But this time everything was different. The agent already had the vest, asked, “Does anyone need this?” Ducati eagerly responded, and indeed: the stranger dropped Barrett’s bulletproof vest. Ducati was able to pick it up, and the hunt was over.
A small gesture that costs nothing for the one giving it. Provided that they already have the vest in a better role. But for the recipient, it’s a big deal, at least a small Christmas miracle with a happy ending. This way, one can also bring joy to others with small things, if only one goes through the world with open eyes and a little attention.
It’s always a great feeling to give away the vest
While most discuss whether the vest is really that good in Ducati’s story that it deserves all the fuss, other agents in the thread report that they have also given away the vest. It’s always a great feeling to see how other players were happy about it.
In contrast to the MMO shooter Destiny, trading items in The Division is possible only in a very limited framework – players must be in the same group when an item drops.
