The Division gives you plenty of ways to dish out damage with its variety of skills and weapons, and there are even longer lasting effects that come as a result of certain attacks. Frag grenades and gunfire have a chance to make enemies bleed and continue to lose health, while catching fire will also have the same effect. Certain grenades can also disorient foes, making them easier targets as they are temporarily disabled. These primary effects are useful in the game's arenas, but there are also secondary effects to these that make them even more effective in the Dark Zone where even tiny advantages can be the difference between life and death. Bleed and fire effects will prevent enemies from sprinting, thus minimising the chances of a quick escape, while disoriented foes won't be able to enter cover until their effect wears off. These extra bonuses can be crucial in the Dark Zone, even against skilled players, so never underestimate the benefits of the less aggressive grenades or their lasting effects. And there you have it; 10 tips for maximising your Agent's effectiveness that Tom Clancy's The Division never tells you about. May they help you return order to the devastated streets of New York, though I certainly hope they won't help you in sabotaging me if we ever cross paths in the Dark Zone... Are there any others we missed? Let us know your own tips and tricks down in the comments!
