The Division Thread

Maybe we can start a top 10 list and each person can add to it if they know something beneficial? I'll start.

Things you should know in The Division
-Shooting the propane tanks on the Incinerator Cleaners will cause them to explode
-Shooting the satchels on enemies with grenades will cause them to explode
-Shooting an enemy that is about to throw a grenade will cause them to drop the grenade
-Purple level enemies, and Yellow level enemies (elites) all have significant reload times to allow you to attack
-On the left of each enemy's health bar, there will be an icon showing what attacks they do (melee, grenade, sniper)
-Holding V on PC will allow you to use a consumable
-Using the Situation Board and speaking to the JTF Officer in a safe house will unlock all side missions and events in that district
-When you complete all side missions and events in a district, the JTF Officer in that district's safe house will reward you with XP and an item
-On PC, pressing TAB while aiming will allow you to zoom in
-When behind cover, holding a directional key will move you around to the other side of that cover
-When at the crafting table, you can craft blue materials with X amount of green materials ie. 5 green fabrics will create 1 blue fabric
-If you want to increase the difficulty of a main story mission, select the mission on your map and hold G. This will allow you to change the difficulty
-When looking at stats on an item, be sure to look at the bottom right to see what bonuses are given. Don't just pay attention to DPS, HP and Skill Power
-Items such as grenades will have 'Base' stats and 'Total' stats. This is based on your Skill Power stat. If you have little to no Skill Power, the item will do the 'base' amount of damage. If you have a lot of Skill Power, the item will do the 'total' amount of damage
-Armor can be modded just like weapons can, but you need to make sure your armor has a mod slot first. To see this, look at the bottom left of a piece of armor when on the inventory screen. You will see a small bar, just like weapons have, which will indicate a mod can be added
-If you like deconstructing items, you know can mark multiple items as 'junk', and then deconstruct them all at once
-You don't need to hold shift to sprint. Just tap it once to begin sprinting, and tap it again to stop
-To dodge, double tap 'jump' and the direction you want to roll

If anyone has anything else, or if I missed anything, feel free to copy this and add to it :) Maybe it can be added to the first post as well.

Most people might already know this but if they dont.. Holding G in the same way as holding V will allow you to select the type of grenade you want.

I did not know these. I kept forgetting which key I assigned what and drink water when I should eat lunch.
 
Mind you, do we know what year it is in game?

I don't think it's been explicitly stated. Based on the environment and vehicles I'd think no too far in the future. The tech equipment suggests maybe 5-10 years in the future. Or less even. I'd guess somewhere around 2020-2025?

Was there a date anywhere in the opening cinematic, other than the reference to Black Friday?
 
Oh, and a scene in that video reminds me to ask another dumb question.

"ABCD PLAYER is exercising". How? And why?
 
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. You can fast travel to your Base of Operations and any unlocked Safe House by selecting it on your map and pressing X on PC.
 
I LOVE this game. There is just one thing it needs...A Guild system...And of course a better way to find "friends". Also, is there any groups playing and looking for people to join in? I really want to go explore the Dark Zone...but it is crap doing it solo
 
While i think alot of people are using the turret + medicine abilities , i've found the mobile cover is totally OP. If you remotely like to snipe or abuse the terrain a little to prevent anyone from reaching you...well, mobile cover on the roof of a truck in the middle of street with a sniper rifle is feeling like i'm cheating ;) .

It also does alot of magic when there's alot of grenadiers around, you just drop your mobile cover near a real cover and then roll between the 2 when they start throwing.
 
Don't forget to sell your steam trading cards before they start to drop in price. Sold mine for about R7.00(x3), which aint to bad.
 
Got to level 28 yesterday, and started in the DZ. Now at Rank 19 with some pretty good gear.

Grouped up with 3 guys and took out 2 rogue agents who managed to hit manhunt status (I think that's 5/10+ player kills).

Still thoroughly enjoying the game.
