The Division: 10 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

9. Animals Can Make Useful Lures

You might feel a little bit guilty about this one, but before you judge these actions, answer one question; is a dog, pigeon or plague of rats going to reclaim New York from the clutches of rioters and ex-cons? Of course not, so stop worrying about them. What they can do, however, is stand to be a very useful lure if you need to break a group of enemies up without exposing your position. The Division's New York streets are brimming with stray dogs and crawling vermin, and if you kill one close enough to an enemy - assuming you're smart enough to have suppressed weapons, of course - you'll lure them off to investigate. Since enemy types are such a big deal in The Division, you can use this tactic to encourage the more dangerous foes into positions where you can easily finish them off before setting about defeating the rest. It's especially useful against the enemies who'll rush and make their assault from close by, because you can pick them off before they have a chance to charge you. Just make sure you light a candle for the animal afterwards when your safety has been returned...
