Changing weather conditions are common in open-world games, but they're mostly visual accents - with the notable exception of MGS 5's blinding sand storms. But 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Tom Clancy's The Division takes place in New York City in the depths of winter, and is getting serious about those snow storms.

If you've ever walked through a blizzard, you know how hard it can be just to keep your eyes open against the piercing wind and cutting snow. Now imagine trying to accurately aim and fire a gun in those conditions. Ubisoft says that on top of hindering visibility (enemies 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:don't have name tags until you manually mark them or hit them with a sensor pulse) for players and NPCs, "full storms" will affect both aim assist and enemy de♐tection range🔯s.

Sounds like blizzards will be a great time to try and sneak by that pack of Cleaners, but get caught and you'll have a grueling fight ahead of you. Might be better to just duck into a nea♔rby building (no loading screen, naturally) and wait for the storm / flamethrower-wielding maniacs to pass. The Division also has a day/night cycle, so dally inside too long and you might end up doing your operations while it's dark out.

Sadly, this update has significantly less fodder for my 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Division dog theory than I was hoping. Looks like I might just have to wait for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:beta in December to prove it out.
