Base of Operations The Division Guide

A fully upgraded Base of Operations is a thing to be proud of.

Your Base of Operations is one of the most important places, which must be established right after you complete the tutorial and arrive on Manhattan. This location is filled with vendors selling various equipment, a crafting table (which is the only place you can find it at), a notice board, as well as an NPC which, after interacting with, will give you dozens of side missions and activities on the map.

The most important elements of the Base of Operations are the wings - the Medical, Tech and Security Wing. Each one of those will grant you access to additional, story-related missions, as well as the possibility to further develop the character you are playing with. Contrary to other MMO titles, in Tom Clancy's The Division you won't unlock additional skills and abilities simply by leveling up your character - you must complete various upgrades for specific wings, which, in return, unlock new abilities, talents and perks.

What is more, there's a Stash here, used to store the items you don't need at the moment, and the ones that you managed to recover from the Dark Zone. Additionally, there's the Reward Claim Vendor, used to get all of the unique items you receive from, for instance, purchasing them by using the Units currency in the Uplay store.

Additionally, you should note the following:

• The Base of Operations is one of the safe houses, which means, that no one will be able to attack you as soon as you enter it. You can take care of your own affairs here without being disrupted.
• The Base of Operations, as well as all the regular safe houses automatically regenerate your health and allow you to replenish your supply of ammunition, grenades and medkits - the last two should be of upmost interest to you, as they can't be replenished by most chests in the game (when you resupply during a mission, you will only regain ammo).
• You can get to the base immediately with the help of the quick travel option. All you have to do is to simply select the base while on the world map, and then press the appropriate key / button. After a short while you will be standing at the entrance to the base.
