Big Changes for The Division 2
Dark Zone and PvP Improvements
At the start of the original game, PvP combat was limited to the Dark Zone. While that area was certainly fun, many felt that its system benefited hardcore players, as the barrier to entry was high.
Other modes like Survival, Resistance, and Skirmish helped alleviate a lot of that pain when introduced later on, but it was too little too late for many.
The Division 2 fixes this by providing plenty of PvP options right from the get-go for casual and hardcore players alike.
First off, the Dark Zone has been split from one section into three, with each area catering to different specializations. While Dark Zone East’s open areas favor snipers, the South Zone is all about close quarter combat.
Occupied Dark Zone will also make the other two locations more welcoming to new players. Highly skilled users will want more of a challenge and reward from the hardest zone, meaning the other areas will also likely be filled with newer or lesser skilled players.
Last but not least, the addition of Conflict provides the option to play PvP in the form of organized multiplayer. Many players will be far more comfortable with the familiar layout of Team Deathmatch (Skirmish) and Capture (Domination) modes as opposed to the Dark Zones’ open structure.
