While our attention was focused on him, a couple of True Son snipers wrapped around behind us and began dealing massive damage. One encounter saw our team focusing all our attention on a particularly strong, heavily armored enemy. These no-good vagrants will do their best to outflank and overwhelm you with sheer force. These Specializations certainly came in handy in our demo, in which four of us were tasked with capturing a site near a downed aircraft inhabited by one of the game's many enemy factions, the True Sons. Finally, the Survivalist carries a deadly crossbow capable of firing incendiary bolts. The Demolitionist comes with a grenade launcher that excels at dealing massive chunks of damage to heavily armored enemies, and enemies grouped closely together. 50 caliber sniper rifle that allows you to surgically pick off enemies from long range, and can one-shot nearly all normal enemies. The team unveiled the first three Specializations at E3: the Sharpshooter's signature weapon is a. These Specializations will equip you with a powerful signature weapon that will allow you to alter the way you play the game and help you further distinguish your Division Agent. Once you hit the level-30 cap, you'll be able to select a Specialization. The Division 2 wants you to highlight your achievements by letting you show them off with the coolest in-game swag, making sure an endgame Agent looks much more seasoned than someone just starting the campaign.
The demo highlighted the deep RPG mechanics at play not only were our Agents strong, but they each looked very different. Our time with the game placed us near the National Mall, in the shoes of a fully leveled-up Agent. For example, the suburbs of Georgetown offer up incredibly long sightlines, while the National Mall provides tons of flat open space so that Agents can approach their objectives from any angle. These districts aren't just aesthetically different they provide different gameplay experiences as well. The nation's capital is much more open and architecturally diverse than midtown Manhattan, and with a map 20% larger than New York City, the development team is able to showcase a variety of DC's unique districts. Where the original game had you fighting through the corridor-like streets of snowy Manhattan, the sequel ¬– set seven months after the events of the first game – places you in a hot and humid DC in the middle of summer. DC is the most heavily protected city in the country, so seeing it enveloped in chaos and disorder while fighting in the shadow of the Capitol Building feels surreal. is just how different it looks and feels compared to New York City. The most immediately striking thing about The Division 2's recreation of Washington, D.C. It's clear that the developers want to provide each player with a unique experience, not just in terms of character progression, but through the new setting as well. And "deep" certainly describes the new, more robust endgame which allow you to continue progressing and customizing your character long after you reach level 30. Dropped into the shoes of a fully leveled-up Agent, we were able to explore the new world of The Division 2, experiment with the game-changing Specializations, and see just how deep the endgame rabbit hole goes. If there was one thing that was abundantly clear during our E3 demo of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 it's that there's a ton of content, even after you reach the level cap.
