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

4. There's A Target Marking System

As with most Tom Clancy games, there is a target marking system in The Division that many players are not actually aware of. I have to admit I stumbled upon in by accident trying to activate consumables, but I've found it to be essential in keeping an eye on dangerous enemies in large combat scenarios. ISAC will always help you out a little by highlighting enemies if you focus on them for a few seconds, but tapping up on the D-Pad (or PC equivalent) will actually mark a single target and place the objective marker - the orange diamond - over their heads so you can keep track. In addition, if you hold the direction, you'll activate a five second countdown, perfect for coordinating attacks with teammates or flagging a fast enemy and redirecting your squad's attention. For me I've found that this is most useful against snipers or charging enemies. Snipers have a tendency to dash from one vantage point to another and this is easy to miss since they're not always in your field of view. Keeping a close watch over charging enemies has obvious benefits, since they can quickly rush you if you're preoccupied with other targets.
