    Inventory, Progression and Items Explained

    As some of you may have seen already, Marco pulled a sneaky fast one at E3 and got all the details on the progression, inventory and menu system at E3. Teeeechnically we werent supposed to see that, but I was given the green light to talk about it. So, if youre up for a read, go ahead and read our article. If not, you can find Marco's video version on his Youtube channel.

    Mucho Gracias.

    I am sure there will be a lot of discussion on character development and loadouts. Looking forward to it.

    Any Idea / theories what the "four different categories: Riot, Tactical, Expedition, and Operative. " represent?

    Not sure, but I think like, "weak, light, medium, heavy"?
    I assume more stats. Riot would be compared to Operative weaker in their stats while Operative is stronger.
    That's how I would understand this at the moment. Also I don't think Operative etc. restricts to a level, but might be!

    Beta

    @DigitalHitman

    Hi there. Just joining the forum. In your article, you end with: "be sure to sign up for the Multiplayer Beta coming first to Xbox One in December of 2015, and later to all next generation platforms in early 2016."
    I was under the impression that PC Beta will also start in December. Did you hear differently at E3 or another source?

    PC was never December, it is early 2016 - so January. Only XBox has this exclusive feature to have a beta in December.

    Thanks for your quick reply JokerUnique. I was hoping to enjoy my Christmas break immersed in The Division, but I'll make different plans now

    Yes, the first wave of the beta is on Xbox One in December 2016. All other platforms is early 2016. The length of the betas are also different. I know the answer to that as well, but I dont think I can discuss it publicly yet.

    I believe these are somehow linked to the archtypes giving more bonus' to a specific one. Riot I would obviously associate with Pointman, as for Operative I would go with Tactician and so forth. One may be a balanced set. Or I could be completely wrong, who knows?

    That's basically how I read into it.
    I thought it might be more of a gear style - not necessarily denoting "strength" - and then the rarity level denotes how powerful those "strengths" are.
    For example: a Rare Operative battle-vest has an Armour rating of 9/10 and Speed of 3/10, whereas a Rare Riot battle-vest has an Armour rating of 5/10, but a Speed of 9/10. - It depends on your play-style as to which one is better.

    Riot - Basic kit, "household" items that are easily available. (eg: t-shirt mask, molotov cocktail, crowbar)
    Expedition - Hard wearing kit, good for survivalists, but lacking in real protection. (eg: Large backpack, thick jackets, hunting rifle)
    Tactical - Police/Security gear. Good quality kit, but fairly light in terms of protection. (eg: Stab vests, riot shields, Marksman rifles)
    Operative - Heavy duty, military-grade equipment. Good protection and design. (eg: Assault vests, high caliber assault rifles, night-vision goggles)

    Oh, I haven't seen this from this point. Sounds reasonable.
    Though now I am not sure how I'd equip my agent in-game.
    Everything sounds so great. More military like, or casually, or look like a mercenary or spec-ops etc.
