The deadline for applying The Division’s Elite Task Force workshop has passed and soon some lucky community members will be able to spend 3 intense days at Massive’s studio in Malmö, Sweden, talking about the game and Update 1.4.
However, this doesn’t mean that we or you should stop providing feedback at this point! Fine-tuning might be happening on site, but this can only be done when enough data is available and that’s why a new survey regarding the usage of Skills is now available.
You know, although The Division allows us to make use of 12 Skills in total, the higher the difficulty gets the less options you have – unless you want to make your agent’s life even harder as it already is. That’s why almost every player is using a combination of First Aid, Pulse and Smart Cover + Survivor Link Signature Skill.
Here again is a short list of all available Skills including their modifications. If it’s easier for you, you can also check out the web based Skill Calculator.
Pulse: Recon Pack
The pulse has an increased range and is capable of locating nearby loot containers.
