Be Well-Prepared
When it comes to loot in The Division nobody is your friend. That group of seemingly friendly Agents wandering around the Dark Zone would be more than happy to drop a few hundred bullets into you if they knew you were carrying a High-End weapon. The only thing that stops most people from doing this is the worry that they might get their ass handed to them and lose their own loot. However, with Dark Zone Supply Drops, only one group of agents can claim it as their own and everyone will come in with nothing to lose.
With this in mind, you need to go in fully prepared. Walking around in the Dark Zone is dangerous enough, but with these drops forcing conflicts among players, you’re going to need to be rocking some seriously powerful gear in order to survive the huge firefight which is sure to begin. Make sure you’ve been collecting those Phoenix Credits, tackling some of the named enemies in the Dark Zone, and completing some missions on Challenge Mode. If you’re not rocking the very best High-End gear, chances are someone else is.
