New York Calling: A Division 2 Tourist Guide for Agents (Who Aren't Afraid of Hyenas and Hazmat Suits)
So, you've heard the siren song of the Big Apple? Traded rooftop picnics for rooftop shootouts? Wishing you could swap pigeons for rogue Black Tusk snipers? Welcome, rookie, to the chaotic charm of New York City in The Division 2. But before you hop on the first bullet train to Brooklyn, let's clear a few things up: this ain't your granny's sightseeing tour.
Getting There: Planes, Trains, and Very Explodey Automobiles
Forget LaGuardia's clogged runways, forget Amtrak's questionable hygiene - in the Division 2, your arrival's gonna be a bit more... dramatic. Your first option? Helicopter joyride with a chatty pilot named Hendricks. Sounds idyllic, right? Except Hendricks has a tendency to attract Hyenas like moths to a flame, so be prepared for an aerial dogfight with enough lead flying to paint the Chrysler Building.
Feeling adventurous? Hijack a Black Tusk APC. Just picture it: you, barreling down Fifth Avenue, dodging rogue drones and blasting heavy metal while your turret unleashes hellfire on Hyena roadblocks. Bonus points if you manage to park it in Times Square fountain without causing a 10-car pileup. (Disclaimer: not responsible for collateral damage or therapy bills.)
But hey, maybe you're a traditionalist. In that case, follow the breadcrumbs. As you level up in DC, intel will drop about Aaron Keener's whereabouts in the Big Apple. Just follow the trail of clues, side missions, and Hyena ambushes (because Keener loves having an audience, apparently).
New York State of Mind: Welcome to the Jungle (Of Concrete and Bullets)
Now, you're here. Congrats! Time to ditch the tourist map and grab your trusty LMG. New York's a different beast from DC. Think tight alleyways teeming with Cleaners, rooftops patrolled by drone swarms with a grudge, and subway tunnels ruled by Rikers who haven't seen sunlight since 2020. It's like a post-apocalyptic rave party, only everyone's got bad aim and a serious case of trigger finger.
But hey, there's beauty in the chaos. Take a break from the firefights and admire the graffiti-stained skyscrapers, the weed-choked Central Park, the Christmas tree still proudly standing in Rockefeller Center, its lights a beacon of hope amidst the rubble. Just remember, that hope might get you sniped by a lurking Lullaby, so stay frosty.
Pro Tips for New York Newbies:
- Subway travel is still a thing, but be prepared for impromptu Hyena mosh pits and surprise Rikers rave parties. Pack headphones.
- Central Park's gone wild, literally. Coyotes, boars, and the occasional rogue bear – it's like nature reclaiming its concrete jungle. Just don't ask about the pigeons.
- Times Square's still lit, but the only neon signs are warnings about rogue AI and contaminated water. Think "Blade Runner" meets "Jersey Shore."
- Remember, everyone's got loot. Even that seemingly harmless grandma pushing a shopping cart might be packing a shotgun under her shawl. Respect the hustle.
So, there you have it, Agents. New York awaits, a concrete jungle where danger and opportunity dance a deadly tango. Come for the Keener hunt, stay for the Hyena barbeques (probably a bad idea). Just remember, pack your sense of humor, your trigger finger, and maybe a hazmat suit. You're gonna need it.
P.S. Don't feed the pigeons. Trust me.
