report this adThe Division 2 is set to launch next month, but in the meantime, fans have already had a chance to try the game thanks to its private beta. During their time with the private beta, players were able to experience a side mission that actually tasks them with stealing none other than Declaration of Independence itself. The Declaration of Independence, one of the most important documents in United States history, can be found at the National Archive building in The Division 2. Players have to infiltrate the National Archive, kill some baddies, and then grab the important document before it can be destroyed or stolen by enemies. It’s worth pointing out that this is a side mission that players will encounter fairly early in the game, and could be a strong indication of other creative side missions later on in the experience.Of course, not everyone had a chance to play The Division 2 private beta, as it required them to sign up for a code or pre-order the game … [Read more...] about The Division 2 Lets Players Steal the Declaration of Independence

You can steal the Declaration of Independence in The Division 2
The Division 2 private beta is in full swing, throwing players into a mid-apocalyptic world of Washington D.C. Early on, the beta asks players to reach the lawn of the White House and take it over as the new Base of Operations for Division agents, where players can craft weapons and get sent on missions — just so we all know what we’re dealing with here. A few hours into the beta’s content, you come across a side quest inside D.C.’s National Archives building. Here, the Division agents are sent on a deeply important mission to ... steal the Declaration of Independence. Players enter the Archive, shoot a bunch of guys who are basically part of a prepper group, shove the entire document into their backpacks (filled with grenades, useless guns, purple knee-pads, etc.), and haul it back to the nearby settlement. This seemingly serious mission evokes something familiar — something that happens as friends are chatting about the changes from Division 1 to … [Read more...] about You can steal the Declaration of Independence in The Division 2
