10 Tips The Division Doesn’t Tell You
3. DPS Is Not The Most Important Weapon Stat
As an ardent user of The Division’s assault rifles, I let myself constantly knock out in ensuring that I was always increasing my weapons DPS. I was under the impression that DPS was the only stat that mattered and that by increasing this I was maximizing my agent’s effectiveness.
However, what I failed to realize that DPS which is very prominent Statistic is not the most important. I discovered that by just switching to slower but more economical marksman rifle class, I was becoming far more effective and dangerous in long range combats. While I could certainly take an enemy down within couple of seconds by loading my assault rifle bullets into them, despite worse DPS the precise shots of the marksman rifle were more effective.
This is honestly the case of one stat not being effective at capturing strengths of all types of weapons, and so it is absolutely worth trying out some alternatives before you pick a class too stubbornly.
