    Killed by my own grenade launcher while trying to take out a rogue. I learnt the hard way to never take cover to launch a grenade.

    After that, I logged out, closed the game, shut down my console and straight went to sleep. It was 2:00pm on a saturday.

    I'll start off with a Division 1 Dark Zone story...

    In Div 1, I came across a dropped exotic Ninja Backpack right outside the extraction zone in DZ1. I cleared out the NPCs and was going to pick it up when the player that died and lost it came running up to reclaim it. He kept shouting "Don't kill me, bro! Don't kill me, bro!". He was a couple levels lower than me (back then, the DZ had level brackets). Since he could see the backpack, I knew it was his from before and let him grab it. We called an extraction and I backed up to the end of the street and waited. He soon came running towards me when the chopper flew in with the enemy NPCs hot on his heels. After I cleared them, I realized he had run behind me and simply sat there. Suddenly my screen went red and I was dead. That bastard had killed me, took my loot, and extracted. I was so mad that I had just helped him and he had betrayed me, I re-entered the DZ looking for revenge but he was nowhere to be found again. I assume he left the game completely.

    In Division 2, I recently got "droned"!

    There's a particular skill build where the assault drone (since it's been buffed) can't be destroyed and it just eats you up. I had a rogue put that on me and once I realized what was happening (I had just recently watched this exact drone build video on YouTube), I desperately tried to roll and dodge, and avoid the shots (you never really comprehend just how long it takes to slap on an armor kit when you're taking constant fire). But I remembered the video and since he's using a skill build, he'll be a sucker for a face to face CHC/CHD assault rifle build like I was running. He knew this too so the chase began. He ducked, he ran around cars, he hid behind walls, he climbed, he jumped, and the whole time, his drone was just tearing me up. I'd stop, armor up, and start again. Anger and the "I'll kill you!" determination rather than common sense kept me going. But alas, no more armor kits, and the drone had it's way with me. He never even showed up to finish me once I was downed.

    Most embarrassing would be reviving a random player I found while farming solo in the DZ only for him to turn rogue and kill me when my back was turned. I guess I should have learned not to trust anyone in the DZ.

    Getting killed by a full red sniper from a mile away and dying to CP hugger's chem and balls spam, you know very interractive gameplay.

    Back when the game was in beta, me and some friends were standing around one of those boxes in the Dz that makes you go rogue when interacting with it. I'd say we killed at least 40-50 players who came up and asked "what does this thing do?" Our reply was "don't know, try it and see" Lol. It was absolutely hilarious.

    I only foray into the DZ for essentially (like the pestilence etc). I know that every game has players that enjoy different things, but christ, the DZ is full of sad little people half the time.

    the most annoying deaths I have had though were from the cheaters that screw you up all the time. multiple occasions I have been chased round by the same group that have waited till I collect stuff from a cleared point. then for some reason I get the 'you have gone rogue' warning, and the four of them kill me. multiple times it's happened to me. the first time I though... maybe I fired a stray bullet or something... but the second, third, fourth time (in the same play session) I have been crouched behind cover not doing anything at all.

    multiple times I have had the same player run up to me, stand and stare for a bit, then run off... of course, as soon as I am carrying anything decent, the same player comes up to me, stares, then goes rogue and kills me, as if they knew what I was carrying.

    When you try using your Firestarter chem launcher on a location where NPC's are located. But it end's up bouncing off the object your hiding behind and you end up killing your self. I know other Firestarter players will understand where I'm coming from. lol

    Picked the lock on a DZ chest near the DZ East main entrance. Got shot at while still rogue and automatically headed to the CP. You can guess what happened
