Status Effects in Division: What Does It Mean?

In Division, Status Effects play a crucial role in combat and strategy, influencing both player and enemy capabilities. Understanding and utilizing these effects can be the difference between victory and defeat.

Overview of Status Effects

Status Effects are temporary conditions that can alter a character's abilities, often impacting health, movement, or damage output. These effects can be applied through skills, gear, or enemy attacks. Common examples include Burn, Bleed, and Disorient. Each effect has unique characteristics and counters, making strategic application and mitigation vital.

Types of Status Effects

• Burn: Inflicts fire damage over time, reducing health steadily. Protective gear with burn resistance can mitigate this effect.
• Bleed: Causes damage over time, similar to burn, but often linked to sharp weapons or traps. Healing skills can counteract bleed effects effectively.
• Disorient: Temporarily affects the player's vision and control, making it challenging to aim accurately. Using cover and skills that provide stability can help during disorienting attacks.

Strategies to Manage Status Effects

Managing Status Effects requires a combination of equipment, skills, and tactical awareness. Equip gear that provides resistance to common effects encountered in missions. Skills like First Aid or Support Station can quickly heal or cleanse negative effects, providing a crucial advantage in combat.

Players should also be aware of enemy capabilities and adapt their strategies accordingly. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different enemy factions can help predict and counteract the status effects they are likely to employ.
