    Extraction

    I think one of the coolest features in The Division is the Extraction thing

    Here is what we know so far (taken from the Wiki)

    1) When you find a new weapon you need to "Extract" it in order to have it added permanently your inventory
    2) You have to shoot a Flare Gun to start the extraction
    3) you have 90 secs until you are extracted (timer starts from shooting the flare)
    4) Other players get alerted to your presence and can fight you for the weapon before you manage to extract

    What do you think? Also anyone got more info?

    1)???? Where was this confirmed, I don't mind the idea but I feel like that is extreme. It definitely makes the player really think things through when acquiring a new weapon.

    I will like to know if i can see your flare gun or even hear it, by how close i am from you. I guess that can happen, because the fact that in the video the other players attack fast enough to the guys that where doing the extraction, it might be possible, or not, but i will definitely like to know how will good that be.

    well from the video it looks like the flare results in a ping on the map which everyone in area can see

    other group of players got there in a few seconds after flare was shot

    This is a demo video. It was staged... When they start releasing more story line and a broader look at PVP then we will know. As for the video and the ping. The ping was the character we follow in the video using his optical ping to see if anyone is near. Which makes since if you have to stay alive for 90 seconds it would give you an Idea if anyone was near. But I would have done that before I shot the flare to pick a safer place to extract from....

    In closing this was a preview. They were trying to show off some of the story, give some teasers and like i heard in one interview they are trying to show off the game engine also with the pvp and the dramatic lighting effects seen when they shot the police sign and light comes through and when in the police station, the character looks down the hall and Morgan walks behind him you can see her shadow move on the wall as she passes the window.

    That's pretty interesting system. I had figured they were getting extracted since they were low on ammo after that fire fight as well as having just conquered police station (no one wants to explore while ill equipped.) Otherwise it almost promotes people attacking right as you try to leave a mission. Seems unique. Makes sense in an area where people are scavenging to survive. But that means you have to take them out in 90seconds. That can be quite a feat. All they have to do is just keep in cover and lay down fire. People will desperate and try to rush the enemies as time winds down.
