While The Division has only been out for a week, gamers across the world have no doubt hit the level cap of 30 already and are most likely on the lookout for the best gear.
Fortunately for us, some rather ingenious people have already figured out a few The Division farming spots that will guarantee to net you Superior (purple) gear every single time as well as Phoenix Credits. Yep, you read that right. The methods mentioned below will guarantee that you’ll get Superior drops in just a few minutes!
So far, there are two spots where it’s easy to farm for purple drops and Phoenix Credits, and one is near the Arlington Hope (Times Square) safe house, and the other is in the Garment District (super near The Cavern safe house).
Arlington Hope Farm Spot:
The Cavern Safe House Farm Spot:
After testing The Cavern farm spot (ahem, for investigative purposes), I’ve managed to get at least 5-6 Superior weapons and a load of Superior equipment that I replaced some of my blue gear with. Check out how’s my character geared up now (and nope, I haven’t done any Challenging missions, nor have I finished the game yet).
All in all, it took me less than an hour to get almost all the gear you see above. Just don’t forget that in both The Division farming spots, you should only kill the “boss” (the one with an actual name and armor in their life bars) or this won’t work. Make sure to equip the Pulse skill as well to make things a bit easier.
Needless to say, this is something that Ubisoft will most likely patch in very soon — possibly even before next week’s game update — so get in on the action while you can.
Have you found any good The Division farming spots? Share ’em in the comments below and I’ll compile everything in a future post if possible.

No Man's Sky (PS4) - August 9, 2016
Is there really anything more we can say about No Man's Sky that hasn't been said before? Hello Games' sprawling space sim has captured the imagination of an entire industry with a string of stellar gameplay teasers.
Thrusting players on a mission to journey to the center to the universe, uncovering all manner of alien worlds and exoplanets in the process, No Man's Sky is defined by its sprawling freedom, and the idea of discovering a procedurally generated planet for the very first time is nigh on intoxicating.
Even still, there's a hefty weight of expectation resting on the shoulders of the studio's sophomore title, and a prolonged development hasn't exactly aided the situation. Could we be experiencing No Man's Sky on PlayStation VR?
Check out the No Man's Sky page for all the news surrounding the game.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PS4) - August 23, 2016
While Deus Ex: Mankind Divided might have been featured repeatedly due to its big pre-order brouhaha, people might forget that the first game in the reboot, Deus Ex: Human Revolution was a good game that steered the franchise back into relevancy.
Will Mankind Divided fare the same? Based on our preview, Eidos Montreal is on the right track.

Ark: Survival Evolved (PS4) - Holiday 2016
Don't know what Ark is all about? It's an "open-world dinosaur survival game." Heck, that alone is very, very intriguing. Add in our glowing hands-on time with it, and well, it's perfectly understandable why we're excited to see how we'd survive during the prehistoric era.

Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4) - February 28, 2017
Horizon Zero Dawn not only looks interesting from a gameplay perspective, but it's also Guerilla Games' first big game outside of the Killzone universe. While that alone might be enough hook us in, what we've seen so far, and what we've previewed, has us very, very excited for Guerilla's upcoming title...let's just hope it doesn't get delayed.

Dead Island 2 (PS4) - TBA
Originally in development by Yager, Dead Island 2 now is being worked on by a as-of-yet-unknown studio. While this leaves a big question mark on whether Dead Island 2 will keep its original 2016 release date, we're putting in the list for now.
Read up on all our Dead Island 2 updates here.

Outlast 2 (PS4) - TBA
Confirmed for release this fall, Outlast 2 looks to continue where the first one left off in terms of scares, though not in story.
According to Red Barrels, players can expect the game to "test their faith."
If you've played the first one, then you're no doubt, looking forward to see what Outlast 2 will bring to the scare party.
Check out all our updates for Outlast 2 here.

Hellblade (PS4) - TBA
After working on solid action games like DmC: Devil May Cry, Enslaved and of course, Heavenly Sword, Ninja Theory is now working on a new IP from scratch in Hellblade. While Ninja Theory's last few games did well critically, it didn't do as well commercially. Will it finally change with Hellblade? We can't say for sure, but hey, it does look action-packed!
Check out our existing and all future updates to Hellblade right here.

Rise of the Tomb Raider (PS4) - TBA
We already know Rise of the Tomb Raider is a good game (read our sister site Game Revolution's review here), but the big question here is: is it good enough to withstand the Uncharted 4 juggernaut launching this year as well?
It's certainly a good year for action-adventure fans and Rise of the Tomb Raider will no doubt add to the plate of must-plays this year.
