WIth less than two weeks before the start of the closed beta, many have already been clamouring to find out as much as they can about Ubisoft's upcoming open-world RPG Shooter. So right now, i will be listing out things thas been thus far revealed and shown by Ubisoft and Massive themselves as well as from those that have early access to the beta hence please do give credits to them instead.

Do take note that this post carries a disclaimer that the things that are listed may subject to change as the game approaches it's final build. In addition, I might miss some information so i will be updating this post regularly as we approach the closed beta.

General(Multiplayer/Singleplayer)

- The game will be running on dedicated servers.

- Like Destiny, it has hubs and can carry up to 24 players in it.

- There will be no loading screens. - Game supports full proximity chat. (Trolls will love this)

- Max level is 30.

- Can be played throughout solo though best experience are to be played in teams. - Max players in a party is 4.

- 10 singleplayer missions and it's said to be lenghty which can last about 45mins to an hour

- Like Destiny, Missions has two modes, Normal and Hard, with the latter having better rewards of loots and exp.

- There will be 'Landmarks' that consist of harder enemies but with much better loot to obtain throughout the map.

- Enemies are extremely spongy-bullets. (Destiny players will feel right at home :D)

Loots

- Loots that drop out are unique to each player.

- Two categories of loot: weapons and equipped gear.

- Like Destiny, they come in color coded: White, Green. Blue, Purple and Yellow/Gold being the highest tier.

- Three weapon slots: primary weapon, a secondary weapon and a pistol.

- Weapons all have individual stat like accuracy, range, and stability.

- Weapons will come with different mod attachments that gives extra unique features much like Perks in Destiny.

- Equipped gear category: body armor, gloves, packs, knee pads, holsters.

- There perhaps be gas mask and air filters.

- Equipped gears are boost your defense as well as some passive benefits and they do come with mods as well.

- All weapons and equipped gears are gated by level.

Dark Zone - Can be treated as a PVP area.

- Offers much better loot. Considered a high risk high reward experience.

- There will be AI enemies and their levels are much higher and much better equippied.

- Loot obtained will be labled as Contaminated and only usable once extracted out.

- Other players can attack you and if you get killed, only your Dark Zone loot is dropped. - If you kill another player in there, you will be tagged as Rouge and there is a time limit to your Rogue status. - Once timer finishes, you are rewarded with much higher exp.

- Enemes will be resetted once you hit Level 30 to scale with you to provide even better challenge.

Customization

- Character customization doesn't seem to be very robust and flexible.

- There are no classes in the game hence there are Skills and Talents to make different combinations.

- Skills and Talents have wide choice and can be customized in any way to suit playstyle and to a specific mission. - Skills are divided into three. Medical, Tech and Pulse. How to unlock them is based on how much you have upgraded your Base of Operation

- Talents are Passive abilities and are divided the same as Skills.

Base of Operations - The Social Hub of the game

- Can buy gears and armors - can be upgraded as you progress through the game

- Has three wings – Medical, Security, and Tech

- Play rescue missions to have certain individuals to come aboard to their corresponded wings.

- Each wing has its own currency used for upgrades, which is earn through wing-specific missions. - Upgrades corresponds to your Skill categories. Eg. Upgrading the Medical wing will allow you to purchase more advance skills under your Medic Skill tree.

More details will be updated soon.... There you have some of the details we know of so far for Division. In the mean time do enjoy these videos from various streamers and please give them a thumbs up and subscribe to their channel for more Division related information.
