Contaminated Gear & Decontamination

Learn about contaminated gear and decontamination in The Division: Resurgence. Understand how to manage hazardous items and keep your agent safe from environmental threats.

Hey there, Agent! Let's talk about contaminated gear and how to deal with it. It's a pretty important part of staying alive and effective in The Division: Resurgence, so pay attention!

Basically, some gear you find might be contaminated. This means it's been exposed to some nasty stuff, and you can't just equip it or use it right away without risking your agent's health. Think of it like finding a really good weapon, but it's covered in goo – you gotta clean it up first!

The game will usually let you know when gear is contaminated. You'll need to find a decontamination station or a specific area to cleanse it. Don't try to force it; the game's designed to make you handle this properly. Once it's decontaminated, you'll be able to use it like any other piece of gear.

It's a good idea to keep an eye on your inventory and make sure you're dealing with contaminated items as soon as you can. You don't want to be caught in a tough firefight and realize your best gear is still sitting there, unusable because you forgot to decontaminate it. Always check your gear status!
