    Soloing Dark Zone is so fun!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W85gMQizyf8

    I get so weird running around the dark zone. I have a blast. This game is so fun.

    So many people complaining about this, and that. Just have fun with it guys, There's a solution to everything.

    Someone throws a shock turret -- I dodge roll away 2 times to avoid it. Or get out of line of sight so it cant hit me. (If im on my dps build i'll shoot it down in 1 sec)

    Anyways...be weird. Have fun. Git gud. lol

    I cant wait for the new update to see what builds manifest!



    I have a dps build too but my sticky bomb build is for trolling the dark zone. HILARIOUS!

    Im going to come out with a top 10 PvP tips video soon to help some people out on surviving and hopefully it'll help more of you kick butt in the dark zone.

    PEACE!

    Yeah I've received some really nasty private messages after killing people. Some people feel like trying to put you down will somehow make them feel better I guess.

    Today though I've witnessed a more common occurrence. I was in DZ03 killing named elites around the extraction zone and trying to get to 50. I got careless and got killed by the AI. I noticed someone had taken my stuff while I was exiting the safehouse. I decided to go back and see if I could find the agent. Sure enough he was there and setting up his own extraction. I decided to go ahead and wait until he was at the rope and try to kill him. I sadly could not and he ended up killing me.

    This is the disturbing part, he comes over to my body and is explaining to his friends "that I was just trying to extract" and I guess now pondering why he's a rogue. I've never heard such nastiness toward me in my life as I lay there dead and listening to them talk. I mean, hell, its the DZ, a place for agents to kill other agents. After all, the DZ is not a safe place, isn't that what Ubisoft says, hahahahaha. This has happened more than once, the venom from other agents at being shot at by someone else. What's wrong with people?

    P.S. Your sticky bomb vid is pretty nice!!! Did you get any hate from those guys?
    That player had a point. He did not in anyway know whose stuff he was picking up off the ground. Turned out it was your stuff and you wanted it back. What I don't get is how did he go rogue when YOU attacked him to get your gear back? That's more than likely why he was pissed. Some how he got attacked while extracting and now he is rogue for killing the attacker. There would be a ton of us players who would be flipping out at the same result.

    If you put in the Agent Origins code before launch, you were awarded with some perks that give you +75% ammo capacity and +2 medkits. Sort of a "founders bonus".



    I run solo a lot and even go after rogue groups. It's fun, though suicide at times. I put together a little "FUN" video for the Division. You'll find I'm often grouped just for the social aspect, but more often than not I'm actually solo while the group members are doing whatever random stuff elsewhere.

    It is fun up until a point. I can kill a vast majority of players easily so running solo is quite funny for me, the problem arises once i kill a few people on the server and im marked. Once im marked by all the other players as a monster theres no chance of soloing on that server anymore. Either the teams are too afraid and will just run or they will wait to get the jump on me. And theres also the teams that just pop survivor link constantly so theres really no chance for a solo player to win that encounter. It is incredibly difficult to be a good solo player and even then after a point it becomes impossible.

    Thanks!

    Yeah thats the night I got some crazy deep hate messages from some guy. He somehow found out my real name and looked up my facebook and started sending some real crazy stuff. Im all like...bro...take a deep breath...and chill.

    Then I reported the messages. Hopefully his account gets suspended. Some people I swear just cant handle defeat - even when its simply a game.

    Im on PS4. I get 7 medkits because I paid $4.99 for an appearance set that came with like...a police uniform, fireman one, and 2 others. It also came with a few backpacks. One gives 2 extra medkits when equipped. So I equip it real quick, restock medkits, and then put on the one im actually going to run with.
