Escape From New York: A Not-So-Sticky Situation in The Division 2: Warlords
So, you took a one-way ticket to the Big Apple in The Division 2: Warlords of New York, and now you're realizing it might be less "Empire State of Mind" and more "Trapped in a Concrete Jungle." Fear not, fellow Agent, because even the toughest Division recruit can get stuck in a sticky situation. But fret no more, for this guide will be your duct-tape parachute to freedom (duct tape is very useful in the apocalypse, you know).
Facing the Facts: Why Can't You Just Hop a Plane Outta Here?
The Warlords of New York expansion throws you headfirst into a thrilling new story, and that story (and some unseen border patrol) restricts you to New York City until you, well, beat the story. Think of it as a forced vacation to a slightly-less-relaxing version of NYC. But hey, at least you get to fight rogue agents and clean up the streets, right?
The Great Escape: How to See the Light at the End of the Tunnel (Even if That Tunnel Smells Like Sewer Water)
There's only one surefire way to get out of New York: complete the Warlords of New York campaign. Now, this might sound daunting, but it's actually a great way to level up your agent, snag some sweet loot, and (most importantly) get back to Washington D.C. Think of it as a chance to become a super-powered Agent ready to take on whatever comes next.
While you can't physically leave NYC, there are ways to make the journey more enjoyable:
- Team Up!: Grab some friends and tackle the campaign together. Not only is it more fun, but it can also be strategically advantageous (distracting those pesky Cleaners while you flank them is a classic move).
- Embrace the Grind: Those side missions and bounties aren't just there for show. Completing them nets you valuable rewards and experience, making the main story a breeze (and a little less grindy).
- Gear Up: New York is crawling with bad guys, so make sure you're packing the best gear possible. Experiment with different builds and find what works best for your playstyle.
