Exploits and Mistrust chronicles
Well, play time is nearly over with the meteorological Autumn well in season. Time to consider winter coats and long sleeve shirts. Apparently, it will be easier to get loot and gear in Division 2 after the next update. This will be perfect for me to immerse myself outside real life.
The real-life grind ahead of me for the next few months will be at “challenging level” and I’ll need to pull on the talents of those around me.
A trip through the NSA Security alert mission on Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 reminds me that being meticulous and patient is a rewarding trait. I romped through the mission only to be perplexed searching for the Backpack trophy.
Crafty level designers lead you to apparent dead-ends with minimal clues as you try to figure out how to get into the fan shaft in the DataCentre. Finding the fan shaft is not that tricky but finding the fuse box annoying, i took me 20 mins of running around the map shooting red fuse boxes with no results. Best to run this mission solo unless all your team members have the same mindset.
The solution is right in your face…just pan top left near the fan and you can barely see a yellow fuse box, shoot that and then everything is gravy. You’ll end up in an office with lots of loot after scurrying through the tunnels like an oversized rat.
I’m not actually sure what’s available but I’m started farming “brand” parts so I can create collections on my 2nd character just for the hell of it. Could be a needle in a haystack especially if you can’t actually build 6 pieces of all brands.

The Art of shutting the hell up is tough to maintain consistently. I kick myself at how transparent I can sometimes become, showing my raw emotions ready for exploitation.
My fellow US squad members often let slip their opinions on real world ballistics whist playing the Division which probably explains why their builds are so bloody brilliant.
Anyways…my hopes of a conflict free weekend were shattered within 2 hours of arriving back in London. On the plus side, I’m thankful for months of good health despite not visiting the gym, eating randomly and too often.
It’s been great wondering around the country shooting wildlife and taking OutPost in FarCry New Dawn. The game has been good to me, I haven’t achieved the Platinum trophy yet but it’s nearly time to return to DC (90+GB download in progress) especially after the patch.
Today’s official basic notes (no engineering details but enough to observe they had to take down the global servers for 3 hours)
