New to the Division... some questions...
Hey, I'm a long time Ghost Recon (GR) fan, and new to the Division. I have a few questions I'm hoping you can help me with after playing a few hours of the trial... (I've now bought the Ultimate edition on a super discount)
- Can weapons like the Mk17 be found in specific locations early in the game, or do I need to wait for one to drop from an enemy?
- How do you give your weapon a custom paint job?
- I want to stick with my preferred weapon (MK 17) for a good part of the game... how do I level it up? Do I need a blueprint? Or do I have to wait to find a higher level one as an RNG drop? Where do I find blueprints?
- Does enemy difficulty scale with your XP level or gear level? Or what's the relationship between enemy difficulty, gear level and XP level?
- Related to the question above, is there a benefit to levelling up as quickly as possible, e.g. by unlocking XP perks? Or is it just a vicious circle in that regard?
(I ask this because I generally like to take my time levelling in games and don't want to rush to the level cap, but if there's some significant benefits to doing that, I will)
- I like to Aim Down Sights in GR, and I see that you can only do that with the ACOG or higher power optics in this game. As a result, I'm thinking of trying to open up the Optics perk as early as possible to do this. Is that a good idea or a mistake for some reason? Is there anything I should know about using the ACOG and ADS in this game that might not be obvious?
- While I'm pouring through online guides for tips - do you have any good advice for a new player on how to get the most out of the game?
