The Division: A Guide to Surviving the Dark Zone Solo

GamingLives writes: "Not being one for MMOs, PVP, or anything that involves playing with those I’ve never met, it was with some trepidation that my co-op partner and I wandered in to The Division‘s Dark Zone for the first time.  It wasn’t a planned affair, and the decision to enter came only because we found ourselves standing outside one of the gated checkpoints after completing an encounter.  The problem with that was that we entered at DZ03 rather than dipping our toes into the heavily infected, yet calmer, waters of DZ01.  Our progress was hesitant at first, going from cover to cover without ever leaving ourselves in the open, as we’d heard that it was a dangerous and unpleasant place to be.  After three or four minutes of no confrontations whatsoever, we got a little blasé with the whole thing and ran down the middle of each street as though we owned the place.
