Just thought that I would throw together a thread for different posts/video's that contain useful information for both per launch and post launch.
Now its time for the wall of text

Base of Operation build order

Hi everyone!

Here is the order I'm planning for unlocking my Base of Operation upgrades, mostly based on perks priority (for levelling), and mid-game group utility.

Hope it helps! Please let me know what you think!

Cheers!

Comment : if possible, I'll try to go for the Security mission (rescue Cpt Benitez) first. Depends on its level requirement though.

Security branch

1) Situation room (500 supplies) : +10% xp
2) Canine Unit (200) : reveal all undiscovered intel on the map, ammo conservation talents
3) Armory (500) : advanced weapons vendor
4) Barracks (1000) : Signature Skill, +25% accolades xp
5) Dark Zone Ops (400) : +1 DZ inventory, black market vendor
6) Gunsmith (400) : if Smart Cover mods, Supply Line otherwise
7) Procurement Team (200) : scavenger box
8) Shooting Range (200)
9) Supply Line (400) : clothes vendor
10) Guard Post (200) : special ammo
Security/all : +15% scavenging

Medical branch

1) Clinic (500 supplies) : +1 medikit inventory
2) Quarantine (400) : reveal all contaminated areas on the map, Pulse/Crit mod
3) Virus Lab (500) : +1 virus protection
4) Hazmat Unit (400) : +1 virus protection
5) Counseling (200) : +10% credit gains
6) Pharmacy (200) : +1 virus protection
7) Decontamination Unit (200) : +1 DZ inventory
8) Intensive Care (400) : +1 medikit inventory
9) Disaster Aid (1000) : Signature Skill
10) Pediatric Care (200) : +1 medikit inventory
Medical/all : +1 talent slot

Tech branch

1) Control Room (500 supplies) : +10 inventory
2) Recalibration (200) : stats switching station, Evasive Action talent
3) Recharge Center (200) : +10% DZ fund gains
4) Communications (500) : +1 DZ inventory
5) SatComms (200) : reveal all DZ crafting nodes in the map
6) Generators (400) : Sticky Bomb/Flashbang mod
7) Division Tech (1000) : Signature Skill
8) Central Heating (200)
9) Water Purification (400)
10) Field Engineering (400)
Tech/all : +10 stash slots

Comment :

I plan on doing Security/Medical/Tech encounters based on proximity in whatever order they come. Enjoy the story and the natural progression of the game, without rushing any particular branch.

If I had to prioritize branches though, I would go for Security 1 / Medical 1 / Tech 1, then Security 2 (Canine unit, to reveal intel on the map), then Medical all the way up to 10 (to unlock the extra Talent slot).

Some more advanced game mechanics

Just wanted a place to gather up some in-depth game mechanics of the Division. Feel free to add your own.

Weapon Behavior

Bullets deal locational damage. A shot to the chest will deal more damage than a shot to the foot.

Hipfire can be preferable over ADS - while it gives you far less "accuracy" (reticle size) than firing in ADS, it also has less recoil (screen jumping around).

A reload will complete slightly before you can actually shoot, which can be seen by keeping an eye on the ammo counter.

All weapons have damage falloff. The closer you are, the more damage you deal.

LMGs have negative recoil. The longer you hold down the trigger, the more accurate your shots will be.

Each pellet from a shotgun has a chance to trigger special ammo effects (explosive, incendiary) and will all benefit from the bonus damage.

Players have a natural damage resistance of 61.75% against other players.

Item/Skill Usage

Double-tapping the heal skill key will let you instantly pop a heal on your location, and can be used while sprinting (PC).

Double-tapping the sticky grenade skill key will let you instantly deploy the grenade where your reticle is. Triple-tapping it will let you instantly fire and detonate your grenade (PC).

Guess what double-tapping the turret skill key does. Yup, it instantly deploys the turret where your crosshair is. Holding the key down while in cover deploys the turret on top of your current cover (PC).

The shield will be put away when sprinting or climbing a ladder, but will be redeployed when you stop sprinting/climbing. Holding down the shield skill button will put it away and put the skill into cooldown.

You can still use your skills and items while the shield is active. For example, you can deploy the shield, and then fire a sticky nade.

Holding down the medkit/grenade button will open up the consumable/grenade selection wheel, respectively. Not exactly a hidden mechanic, but not everyone seemed to know about it.

The rewards vendor in the JTF base can give free refills on consumable items. He seems to generate a randomized new refill once a day, or when certain actions/missions are completed.

Stats and Gear

Each point of firearms will increase your weapon damage by 1%.

Each point of stamina will increase your HP by 30.

Each point of tech will increase your skill power by 10.

Each point of armor will decrease incoming damage by roughly 0.1%, at least for values of armor at or below 330. Damage reduction probably follows a logarithmic progression, so it'll likely get less and less effective per-point the more you stack it.

Health-on-crit and health-on-kill effects will activate your natural health regen as well every time they proc, making them far more powerful than they sound.

Some gear stats are randomized, some are not. For example, two guns of the same model and rarity will always have the same fire rate and magazine size, but may have a wildly different damage-per-shot and crit chance/headshot damage bonus.

Movement

Holding an SMG or pistol may let you run faster than if you were holding any other weapon. Confirmed in alpha/closed beta, unconfirmed in open beta.

Run speed may be affected by the stamina stat. Unconfirmed.

You will move slightly faster at the start of the sprinting animation. You can double-tap the sprint key every couple seconds to move somewhat faster than just sprinting normally.

Holding down the cover button on another piece of cover while being in cover will perform a crouched sprint to the new cover.

It is possible to "chain" combat rolls to traverse long distances extremely fast, but it requires a lot of practice and cover. First off, roll at an oblique angle to a piece of cover. Near the end of the roll animation, triple-tap the cover button while snapping your view away from the cover you were rolling at. You'll perform another combat roll instantly, but it's important to time it so that the first tap happens while you're still looking at the cover, and at your destination by the time you hit the third tap. If the timing is wrong, then you'll roll straight into the cover and get nowhere. This requires either a slightly curved line of cover (the line of cars in front of the gas station in the DZ, the circle of barricades around most extractions) or two lines of cover that're close to one another (the roadblocks in front of blockade landmark). Will upload video tutorial on release.

You can perform a different, but less efficient, version of combat roll chaining on a single line of cover by rolling into it at an oblique angle as normal, and then rolling sideways towards the direction you want to travel in. You have to alternate between pressing W during the first cover button tap and A or D by the third tap. It's easier to perform, but it gets less distance than the first method.

So, does anyone else have a (hopefully not so ridiculously long) list of game mechanics or just cool quirks that they discovered during the beta?

Gun list (at least what's in the game files as of the beta)

So, I've been doing some digging around in the game files, as you can see here.
I've managed to find quite a few guns named within the files. Below is my entire list. There's probably still more, but these are the ones I've managed to confirm exist within the game files (some are duplicates of guns with 2 names, but I'm not that familiar with guns to know all of them).

I would guess that since it's just a special version of what I think was a p416 that it would be included with that

So have we determined if suppressors actually keep rogues hidden while shooting?

Not exactly sure. They have the "Reduce threat : something%" on them so it may be a range based system

Reduced Threat has got to be for NPCs I'd think.

From what I can tell, suppressors stop you pinging from range whenever you fire so people across the map can't tell where you are.

But things like proximity scans will still work because a piece of metal on your gun will not hide your entire body.

That is a very nice gun list I am drooling over the LMG's already.
