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

7. You Can Quick-Fire Skills If You're In Trouble

In most of the game's trickier combat situations, you'll find that the only real upper hand your agent can gain over hordes of enemies will be the unique skills they are able to call on. Since both you and your foes are essentially bullet sponges, simple gunfighting isn't always enough to guide you to success. But while these skills are essential, some of them can leave you a little bit exposed to enemy fire while you're lining them up. Firing a sticky bomb right at a moving target, for example, can be a great way of dealing massive damage but it does leave you open to taking damage in return, particularly while aiming at snipers. What you may not realise, however, is that these skills don't have to be so precise to be effective, and quick-firing them can be just as useful. Simply clicking the designated skill button will immediately fire a sticky bomb straight at the reticule, and the game's minimal target-pull can actually do most of the work for you. Seeker mines can also be dropped without having to leave cover, and you can subsequently guide them into enemy range by moving through cover items as they'll stay by your side until a target is acquired.
