Heading into the end game, we might be asked to repeat these missions time and again to loot, but they’re given a fresh lick of paint with new and more imposing enemies to battle against. Where the moment to moment loop of going somewhere and hooting bad people, saving a person or collecting a particular item remains at the core of The Division 2, it’s taken me through a number of unique and genuinely interesting locations. More Dynamic Missionsīy far the biggest improvement in The Division 2 as a game is the more intricate and varied level structure and mission design. With next to no visibility, I found myself genuinely unsure where enemies were during firefights, causing me to play much more defensively. Thanks to the game’s exceptional volumetric lighting, ingame fog provides an eerie and unsettling experience that completely alters the flow of combat. It goes from sun and rain to thunderstorms at night, but but the most impressive so far has to be the fog that can envelop the city. Though I already mentioned the standout thunderstorms, the weather as a whole has received a major overhaul. While it’s still clearly a hit point counting shooter, the mixture of these to different changes makes The Division 2 more enjoyable as an action game. Not only do they take less damage before dying, but they also react more noticeably to your gunshots, stumbling from a well placed shot. This is doubled up by the fact that enemies are less spongy than they were before. Where weapons felt flat and flimsy in the first game, they now feel much weightier and crunchier. Strongholds will also require a group since they are some of the toughest modes in the entire game.This is hard to quantify because it ultimately comes down to personal preference, but weapon feel is notably improved in The Division 2. Since enemy players can steal your loot, bringing a group of four can quickly shift a battle in your favor. This PvPvE activity is one of the toughest challenges in The Division 2. However, the one activity we highly recommend bringing a group for is the Dark Zone. Most of the campaign missions are great for co-op so consider enabling matchmaking before each level. Because of this, we suggest just playing with others that are similar in level to ensure that you’re not getting instantly killed by a single bullet. So if someone is level 20, the enemies will be raised to that rank.
Keep in mind, The Division 2 will scale the enemy levels to the highest person in your party. After that, you can either invite your friends, join random groups, or party up with players you see in safe houses.
You will unlock the ability to invite others once you’ve finished both prologue missions and spoken with the Quartermaster. The Division 2 has a maximum of 4 players per squad, regardless of the activity. Here is the squad size for The Division 2, along with what activities we recommend bringing buddies with.
While you can fight through this world alone, it’s much better with friends. Set in Washington D.C., players assume the role of a Division Agent who is tasked with retaking the city and establishing various communities. The Division 2 has officially released and it’s time to fight back hordes of angry gangsters.
