Power Isn’t Everything
While playing through The Division, you’re going to come across a lot of different weapons. Assault Rifles, uzis, pistols, shotguns, you name it and chances are you can find it.
You should keep in mind that damage power isn’t the only thing you want to consider. Like we said before, The Division is built around playing how you want, so focus on guns that you can handle and suit your playstyle.
For instance, shotguns and sniper rifles will easily be the most powerful weapons you come across in your travels. The shotgun requires a more up-close and personal style, while the sniper rifle calls for a steady hand and a bit of distance. Sure, they’ll both take out nearly any opponent with a single hit, but if you’re more of a mid-range fighter and you’re not the one taking point, you may want to hold onto an assault rifle. Higher rate of fire and a larger clip allow for a bit of balance, even if they don’t do as much damage.
So in short, choose your weapon, don’t let your weapon choose you.
