Testing and research is always an interest aspect of learning. Prodding and poking at something with a long stick is every small boy’s play time. The new exploration mission in Division 2 and are a perfect diversion from the hours grinding on Raid to no avail.
It’s been fun.
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.
Sometimes running sole is much more effective. Unfortunately, this often leans towards being anti-social or selfish and ultimately can damage relationships. Next few days will be ultra-social for me, yes, I will be out there for all and Facebook to see. Fully observable and traceable.
Of course, this is purely so I can harvest my data when I return from glorious China.
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.

Like many Brits by birth, I’ve become accustomed to my democratic privacy. I enjoy free movement across borders without much hassle.
Since a kid, I’ve been fascinated with Chinese culture so it’s actually awesome to be finally going there as 40+ years later. It becomes apparent at the Visa application stage how controlling the authorities are and this is made worst with media coverage of official spyware install by immigration…WTF and I have to pay for the privilege of a Visa. Having an assumption of my privacy rights does not help my situation and so my anxiety level rise and hello Mr Myasthenia.
…but essentially, I’ll be offline as much as possible.
I have no freaking idea what I’m getting into but hey, it’s just another level.
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.
