New York's Calling, Agents! But How Do You Answer Without Catching a Green Rash?
So, you've conquered the DC heatwave, tamed the rogue Hyenas, and even (shudder) endured Faye Lau's singing. Now, your Division watch is vibrating like a bee on Red Bull, telling you it's time for the Big Apple. But hold your horses, trigger-happy Agent, because traversing the post-apocalyptic NYC is less "Times Square stroll" and more "Dodgeball with Molotov cocktails."
Step 1: Prepare Thyself for the Concrete Jungle (Where Dreams are Made of Duct Tape and Desperation)
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
- Gear Up: Forget fancy Gucci threads, Agents. Think tactical turtle with a dash of Mad Max chic. Stockpile armor like it's toilet paper in 2020, and equip the meanest guns this side of a rogue LMG gunner's fever dream. Remember, fashion fades, but headshots are forever (or at least until the servers shut down).
Sub-headline: Bonus Tip! Wear comfortable shoes. You'll be sprinting from exploding cars like a caffeinated cockroach, and blisters are no friend to trigger fingers.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
- Pack Smart: Forget the selfie stick and that questionable fanny pack collection. Think medkits, ammo, and enough grenades to make Michael Bay jealous. You're not here for brunch, you're here to liberate landmarks from the clutches of bad guys with questionable hygiene.
Step 2: Finding Your Way Through the Urban Wasteland (AKA Don't Get Lost in Central Park with a Hyena Horde)
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
-
Fast Travel Like a Boss: Remember that fancy helicopter pilot chilling by the White House? He's your VIP pass to NYC (think Uber Black, but with more bullets and possibly a disgruntled mechanic). Just don't ask him about his mixtape collection. Trust me, it's rough.
-
Walk the Walk, Agent: Not feeling the air taxi vibes? No worries! Lace up your boots and channel your inner Indiana Jones. Follow the map, dodge suspicious puddles (that might actually be acid), and admire the "unique" post-apocalyptic scenery. Just, uh, maybe skip the selfies with the feral dogs. Rabies isn't a good look.
Step 3: Embrace the Chaos (Because That's All You Got Left)
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
-
Shoot First, Ask Questions Later: In New York, diplomacy is a rusty pistol with a jammed trigger. If it moves and doesn't wear a Division jacket, shoot first, loot later. Just remember, friendly fire is still a thing, and reviving your teammate who accidentally ate a grenade isn't exactly a walk in the park.
-
Find the Fun in the Filth: Hey, even Agents need a break from the constant gunfire and existential dread. So, take a moment to appreciate the scenery (in a non-radioactive way), blast some tunes on your Pip-Boy, and maybe do a little jig on top of a conquered control point. You earned it, killer.
Bonus Round: Pro Tips for the Seasoned Survivor
-
Befriend the Locals: The Cleaners might smell like a dumpster fire, but they're surprisingly handy with a flamethrower. The Rikers, well, they're just good for target practice. And hey, maybe Faye Lau will finally share her secret stash of pre-apocalyptic macarons. One can dream.
-
Remember, You're Not in Kansas Anymore: This ain't Times Square circa 2019. Watch your back, trust no one (except maybe Kelso, he seems like a decent dude), and always keep your trigger finger twitching. You're in the concrete jungle, Agent, and only the fittest (and craziest) survive.
So there you have it, Agents! Your crash course in surviving the urban apocalypse that is New York City. Now go forth, shoot straight, and remember, sometimes the best way to deal with the chaos is to embrace it. Just don't forget to floss. Seriously, those Hyena snacks leave a mean residue.
