    PSA - the loot goblin (aka "hoarder") upgraded his weapons

    I guess the Society of Loot Goblins figured out that shooting Division agents with pistols wasn't working out for them



    Yes, that's the loot goblin manning a turret. This happened to be in hardcore mode and we were lucky to get in cover before being downed.

    Consider this a reminder to not get complacent when you hear the alert music ramping up.

    He was referred to as the "hoarder" on a recent State of the Game, but he's widely referred to as the loot goblin. And yes, it's the same NPC in the regular mode.

    Many have compared the Hoarder to the "Loot Goblin" from Diablo III.
    However even this is somewhat inaccurate, as the Diablo ones are called Treasure Goblins.

    Their functions are both the same but our Hoarder certainly doesn't look like a goblin, in fact I think he'd be quite upset with being called one

    I'm glad you dodged the bullet there though, would have been a bit miffed myself if the Hoarder ended my HC journey
