    How Agents are chosen [Lore video]

    Well if you ask how Agents are chosen, here it is.....



    Though background info is the most obvious one being that they come from a variety of backgrounds but it is their unique talent that will peak their recruiter's interests.

    They need to reassess their psych testing if so many agents go rogue. Great video.

    We can certainly blame this one the limitations of imagination when it come to the simulation training they have set up using ISAC holographic training stages, which would be heck of a way to provide a tutorial stage considering how advance ISAC is with holographic projections.

    As most First Wave agent said back in D1, they were not prepared for something this bad.

    If anything the simulations they went through most likely was affect by people's expectations on how far a person may fall when society is no more which must have been quite leveled due to social norms.

    After all we seen some crazy things that people thought will only happen in moives and comics when it comes to insanity in D1 and D2 such as that Echo in D2 when a college student that study for psychology degree ended up becoming insane when society collapsed and murder a innocent person just for the heck of it.

    The level of insanity that people fell into when society collapsed is basically Joker level of "one bad day" level of insanity.

    Great video thanks for sharing.

    But this is way it frustrates me in regards to the lore. Combat hand to hand, why? Our agents don't fight hand to hand. We should have tech more advance than some rag tag posse of ex-cons. And i still think that it would work alot better with 1 or 2 companions. But its ubi and im kinda used to lore breaking play model they insist on pushing.

    Other than the black tusks that get their gear from a secret society organization that planned for this terrorist attack on the world. The stuff other factions us can be made currently if the people are skilled enough. Though best not to try or else you'll get arrested in real life.

    As the Hyena lore states, a good amount of them were just normal civilians as well before the outbreak but with society's collapse they abandoned all sense of right and wrong thus becoming the murders they are. Without Society to put up social norms, many people just went violent since they no longer need to fear being "arrested" or "reported" for commiting crimes.

    The outcast is the same as some of the people that suffered in Roosevelt Island are former engineers and etc so it is expect some have talent with making certain things like their radio controlled explosive cars.

    The True Sons are just using Militrary grade gears and other types of tools they salvaged from Military bases and supplies that were sent into Washington DC during the early days of the DC outbreak. The Riot Foam gun is not far fetched as people may think as there are real life Riot Foam guns but mostly used for containing Riots. That is something very useful for the early days of the DC outbreak to contain the on going riots on the streets caused by people going violent. Yes, Riot Foam Guns are part of the US Military arsonal as a non-lethal method to contain riots.
