What is your Dark Zone Rule ?

  • Never go rogue in a Dark Zone area that you've seen 3-4 agents operating in.

  • Never extract when 4 other agents are at an extraction.

  • Never leave base without 7 medkits.

  • Never leave base without Explosive Rounds.

  • If you're playing with friends, don't use proximity chat.

  • If you're higher than Rogue rank 3, run north to DZ 06.

  • Try to avoid killing 3+ players at a time.

  • If you're going rogue, target the one with the SMG first (gun raised in the air when running).

  • Be the last one to pop Security Link.

  • Hit your heal before it's necessary.

  • If you're going to be surprise-attacking, give yourself an overheal first.

  • Don't pick up purple items. Unless, of course, you've got a set item in your pack and you need to get it out. In which case, fill your bag with all sorts of shit so if you get downed, there's a chance it won't be dropped.

  • If you're going after groups of 4, ghost them for a bit. Learn who is overhealing. Learn which one goes down easiest. Try and take them when someone is already downed. Open with a stun.

  • It's much easier to take on groups of 2 than to take on groups of 3.

  • If you're in a group of 4, and you're going rogue, have a sense of humor. Don't act all "tough" when you and your friends get downed. There's 4 of you. That's your fault.

  • Open up fire on a group before the extraction rope drops. This will, hopefully, give you enough time to down them, grab their loot and extract.

  • Subways are fantastic places to outlive rogue timers.

  • Try to avoid going rogue in groups of 4. It's not fun for people attacking you, and you're kind of a pussy if you only ever go rogue when you've got back up.

  • If I'm chasing after someone who has recently gone rogue, killed me, stolen my stuff and outlived their timer - I'm going to kill them regardless of their timer.

  • Always brake for Division Tech.

This last one isn't so much as a rule, just more of personal experience playing on PS4:

  • Japanese players will often go rogue on you.
