The Division: 10 Crucial Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

7. Know Your Stats

This one may seem very basic, but the game doesn't even break down these key areas until a good few hours in. When you open your inventory you'll see three categories up at the top: your primary DPS (damage per second), your health and your skill power, as well as firearms, stamina and electronics underneath. What you need to know is what firearms, stamina and electronics apply to, as certain gear will give you a boost in these categories and it will help you in the long run. Firearms apply to your primary DPS and help with the amount of damage you do with your guns - big surprise. Your DPS is determined by not only your firearms skill but also the DPS of your current gun equipped - another big surprise. Your stamina directly relates to the amount of health you have. The higher your stamina, the more health you'll have and vice versa. Lastly, your electronics stat determines your skill power, and how effective your skills are. So if you are using the skill where you can heal teammates, the higher your electronics value, the more effective your healing will be. Know these numbers and equip gear and attachments that will best suit you, either boosting up on electronics-valued gear or keeping your character well rounded in all three categories. It's entirely up to you.
