Managing Aggro & Threat

Learn how to manage aggro and threat in The Division: Resurgence. This guide covers the basics to help you stay alive and keep your team safe.

Hey there, Agent! Let's talk about something super important in The Division: Resurgence: managing aggro, or threat. Basically, it's about who the enemies are focusing on. Keeping that aggro on you (or whoever you want it on) is key to surviving firefights and helping your team out.

Think of it like this: enemies have a 'threat meter' for each player. When you do things like shoot them, use certain skills, or even just get close, you build up threat. The guy with the highest threat is usually the one they'll shoot at the most. As a beginner, you'll want to get a feel for how your actions affect this. Sometimes you'll want to draw fire to protect a squishier teammate, and other times you'll want to make sure you're not the main target if you're low on health.

It's not just about shooting, either. Certain skills and gear can influence threat. For example, a taunt-like ability would make enemies focus on you, while other abilities might help you lose aggro. Experiment with different loadouts and skills to see how they play with threat management. It's a core part of team play, so understanding it will make you a much more valuable agent!
