Tom Clancy's The Division is never more intense than in the aptly named Dark Zone. Surviving within that Dark Zone can be a tricky exercise and more intimidating than it really has to be. The below video arms you with important information that will increase your longevity as you hunt for better loot in the ruined streets of New York.
Your first goal should be to team up with friends (you can always try matchmaking if actual friends aren't available). When you play together, you can count on someone to have your back, allowing you to make short work of enemies while also faring better against predators. Of course, it pays to turn the strangers you meet into actual friends so that when the going gets tough, they don't decide that betrayal is their best option.
You'll also want to prepare yourself by equipping the right gear. Make sure you bring a high-spec, close range weapon, since there are numerous situations when you must get up close and personal or defend yourself against someone who has brought the fight to your front door.
If you're playing the game on PC, you'll want to make sure your gaming rig is equipped with a capable GPU to take full advantage of the game's detailed next-gen visuals and stunning PC exclusive GameWorks effects[1].
And there's really no better time to upgrade your hardware with the arrival of The Division as Ubisoft recommends you have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970[2] for 1920x1080 gaming on PC. If you really want to crank up its visuals, the GTX 980 Ti[3] is recommended for 2560x1440 gaming.
Check out the video above for 4 more crucial tips on how to survive and thrive in The Dark Zone.
