Thanks!
Whoa, thanks mate - this is the first one of these I've received.
I was wondering how they work
Cheers!

What is that? I’ve never seen that
I believe they came from the character creation screen
😂🤣
Lol
they came from our credit cards to be precise
No shit Sherlock
You'll be surprised
When you go to buy a hotdog, but the vendor is the most jacked and intimidating person you've ever met.
Right
Watch jojo once
You go to the hotdog stand and ask kindly "May I have a hotdog, please?" But that jacked vendor just looks into the emptiness with a thousand yard stare
@@breezyberwick1927 Yare Yare Daze...
If the hotdog vendor asks what you want, an MK-16, MP-5 or a Vector.
I knew that hotdog guy couldn't be trusted
I think that means he could be trusted?
On the contrary...

Of course, finish the job and back again to where we started
yes
They probably should have focused more on training loyalty, considering how many agents turned rogue.
Sir Smite Not to mention many of them are just brainwashed slaves.
They were abandoned by their own government. No wonder why they turn rogue
That's real life. Humanity amid chaos. Reminds me of 9-11 and Hurricane Sandy here in NYC. Protocols all fall The more I think about it the more I consider I'd join the True Sons given the hypocrisy of the JTF judging amid the violence.
@@ricardo950535 as if they are any better. killing people and forcing labor
I mean if I was an agent and my government said fuck you and left me in the dark zone with no back up I would be pissed as well maybe that’s why the hunters are a thing there a fail safe for the government Incase the agents go rouge seeing as how they hunt every agent in the dark zone unsure if your loyal or not

Zogger568 join the French foreign legion
@@anthonylopez2599 nailed it....
Same. Sign me up
The rigorous training and psychological testing sound very impressive until you realize they tested Keener and signed off on him.
It's even worse when you realize he's the "prototype candidate", meaning he's the kinda person they want in The Division.
...I'd still join the SHD though.
@@omegasonic2000 prototype means a kind of test. Not that he is the poster boy for the SHD. Got it kinda wrong there.
@@mercy3765 I know that, but what I said still applies. Keener may have been chosen as a "test agent", but why him? Because he had the skills they wanted, that's why. He was the prototype candidate because those in charge saw in him the kind of person they wanted the SHD agents to be like. And yet he was, underneath it all, a power-hungry psycho. So yeah... my point still applies, they fucked up with him.
But you also have to remember about Keener, the government didn't back him and his team up when they needed it the most.
I'm not agreeing with what Keener did, I understand his mentality of going Rogue.
If Loyalty is such a high requirement for the SHD, and he didn't get that from the government he was sworn to protect and rebuild, wouldn't you feel betrayed? Especially when he went above and beyond in trying to save civilians when he was left high and dry?
Again, I don't agree with his turn, but I understand it.
@@omegasonic2000 you mean he was the ideal candidate or the best one out of all of them. That's how they explain him in his shd card. Btw keener didn't go rogue because of a psychological problem but because he felt betrayed. His comrades basically died a meaningless death when they were told to get out of the DZ after all the sacrifices
I would join. But what about being hunted by hunters? The stress of your fellow agents being killed right in front of you? Not being able to trust anyone unless you know they're with the division or support them, and even then not knowing if they're going rogue? Would I become an agent? Absolutely, but it would be one hell of a life.
To be honest thats why Aaron Keener gone rogue in the first place. To see your fellow agents die and the JTF seemingly not caring about it, noy even your own life. You'll snap.
DrunkPoTaTo Pop ever heard of MARSOC?
I would go rogue dont judge me but its join the strong or die with the weak
You gave me flashbacks of when I teamed up with someone in the dark zone and got killed
Thats why you gotta be tip top shape. Those things wouldnt face a division agent
If I was approached by the SHD to join, I 1000% would do it
add a 0 , and thats my level of % :D
Idk bro they go through a lot of bullshit and a lot of people hate them just for being apart of the government
Me too!
Bro it's really dangerous hunters, black tusks and so on will want your head
Azora T1 Aren't the Black Tusk a PMC? They'd have to be paid unless they have an agenda of their own
NGN's Division 2 videos are essential viewing for anyone playing the game. He has, through his expertise, enhanced my enjoyment of the game immensely. Thank you NGN.
I have been so caught up in the story line from these vids I haven't played much just been watching the story unfold and now im stairing at the hindu guy that works at the 7-11 he looks to buff and the chinise guy that owns the spot where I get my orange chicken from his son is super smart and will walk up on u and u don't know it I call him SMOKE..
Absolutely!!! When I wanted to find out who the hunters were WHILE playing TD1, I searched and NGN came up at the top of the RUclips list.... Clicked it and found a WHOLE new aspect that is, The Division. God, when that music starts in the beginning of all of these videos, it takes me back to the very first time I put the game into my PS4!
A lot of people would say yes to joining but very few are able to actually pass their tests. If their training and selection is anything like real world special operations selection, you will be sleeping a maximum of a few hours a week, every waking moment is you carrying something very heavy across a very long distance in the shortest amount of time. On top of that you are expected to perform under these conditions without fail. It's to test you past your breaking point mentally and physically after weeks of nonstop training and absolute pain and discomfort.
Its not easy and only a few can actually make it. Like I said, if SHD selection is anything like a real world spec ops selection, very few can actually pass.
It's supposed to be hard so they dont let just anyone join, they only let the right people in
IronVigilance yup you are right, because I don't give a shit about America or the government. But being an agent would be cool
Imagine all that training only to be killed in a hit and run
I would give it all I have
IronVigilance you think they would run through all that in a fucking pandemic?
I think their skill level for those selected would be similar to those in the CIA Special Activities Division, which usually draws its operators from the SOCOM ranks to be sheep dipped and trained additionally in trade craft.
I tripped on a stupid amount of words in this video. Voice recording is by far the weakest part of my game right now.
@Solitaire might need to organise that vocal training soon!
Ok... It's alright 😊
NGN Gaming I think your videos are excellent, keep up the good work, keeps me motivated to keep playing. I enjoy the lore, it’s what inspires me to push through missions and makes playing more enjoyable
I honestly didn't notice any tripping, even after I read your comment first and tried to look for that.
You can always record a few takes and have someone edit your audio.
this video is great mate. ur voice is suitable for this kind of vid. only that u might want to speak a bit slower than ur daily talking speed. issokay tho. improvement is a process.
This is all good for an agent, just one major problem. Combat experience, this plays a huge role in how a person manages in hostile environments. For example the agents that don't have a military or law enforcement background have a hard time managing in a firefight as since they haven't experienced the heat of a firefight and it clouds their judgement on top of that all the adrenaline that courses through them affects their aiming and gun handling. As we've seen through rogue agents that not all of them have the mental capacity and in the end chose their survival over their cause. So no matter how much u train you're never ready, you're only ready enough.
Ik this is a video game but if we're being realistic
Hey there I see what you mean but surely the agents with combat experience would be put into the field agent? While the others in the other fields support etc?
TAH-lore offical just how many agents are actual combat veterans though? We have to remember that the *vast* majority of our troops do not see combat at all so making combat veterans field agents would be a nightmare in terms of manpower.
@@andezong9565 well the divison is small, and what not so... I dunno
TAH-lore offical since the Division probably numbers at most a few thousand agents, I estimate that maybe 100 or so are veterans or former cops who’ve been anywhere near a firefight or shoot out. No way 100 or so Division agents are gonna be able to effectively retake the US via peace through strength and firepower.
@@andezong9565 they are supported by militia, military, surviving jtf members.
So the agents arent just alone.
I'd do it in a heartbeat. I grew up in a military family, and I'm considering joining up myself. To join something like the SHD or a supporting function would be an honor
So that's why Dad went to go get some milk and never came back.
Imagine being arrested by the cops and both watches start blinking
Lmao the stare at first, then having to leave everything behind.
I'd be down, would suck being away from my son. But if it means protecting him.. Without a doubt
I think we found a new agent already
@@saltyred4436 yeah the first emo agent
Alex Acuna lol
@@alexacuna1641 ooohhh good one mija, show your face a bit more. It's okay if you don't want too. It's not your fault you look the way you do
@@xDiaatm wait how do i actually do it i cant find that shit anywhere
You may never know.. that janitor at whole foods might be an elite, highly trained tactical agent...
This game has the most understandable lore, hands down, and it’s a great story as well.
Always thought something was odd about that hotdog guy.
As a veteran, I would be confident that I can pass the physical and mental qualifications.
But as a family man, it would be hard to keep such a secret life from my loved ones. That, more than anything, is what makes Division Agents unique
Jason Rabeiro Thank you for your service kind sir.
Im so dumb. This is all a real thing that game is based on. How cool is that
@C W your a dumbass dont ever think otherwise
damn our cover is blown well time to call that in. arash was it ?
Damn
Yes, you see what happens in real life when the crap hits the fan. I would rather die trying to save someone than just give up and turn into a monster....
I've only played the first game, but it seemed like the Division agents spent a whole lot of time shooting folk that were just trying to secure food, water, and medicine for their people.
The Division (the organization itself), is really similar to Stay-Behind networks in WW2. What happened with those was a country would plant spies or soldiers all across their land, and they would wait for an enemy invasion or insurgency to happen and then they'd start fighting to push back the opposing forces or put down rebels.
Amazing video NGN, I didn't even know half of this stuff but after having watching this so has my appreciation for the game and my agents grown immensely. Keep up the good work man.
This makes me want to hear more lines from civs and enemy’s saying things like “who the hell are these guys?!” And “nice watch where’d you get it?” Cus shd is yknow top secret
Didn’t know about half of what’s in here, thanks joe!
Huh? You don't understand, or I "teached" you some things, Mr Derpy?
NGN Gaming teached, mr NGN
This shit going on in real life right now
The absolute worst part of being a SHD agent is having to drop everything and deploy when you're activated.
Doesn't matter if you have a spouse and children, pets, aging parents who need your care, or good friends, none of them can know WHY you disappeared out of nowhere. Since immediate response is so essential one probably can't even notify someone to take over the care of a pet, much less a forever home.
I couldn't leave my cats alone with no one to take care of them.
Odessa sawyer informed her family of her departure so you would have the possubility of settin somethin up for you pets, but also if youd be activated at any moment have a contingency plan, with a trustedfriend or familymember to take over for you if you suddenly have to leave
I like the fact that they can be branched from anywhere & come from all course of life. I always thought you had to be in military or law enforcement
Nah man, there's gotta be a Division accounting agent. Like I wouldn't be surprised if the major hubs we see in that one map in Division 2 (I won't say when or where for spoiler reasons) all had at least ONE accountant. And Division Cells stationed in areas like Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and other rural states would have alot of their agents come from Search And rescue, Wildlife preserves, Forest Rangers, and other types of backgrounds.
Hell. The worst place to be stationed in my opinion would be Hawaii. Because you know if shit goes down - that island only has 10 days worth of food for it's state's populace at any one time (that doesn't include all of the inevitable refugees and trapped tourists that were on the island when shit goes down, so it's even less) so I say without a doubt whatever bullshit we see in Washington DC and New York is 10x times worse in Hawaii.
The game also has like these super secret hidden bunkers in the middle of cities for the Big shade nodes and stuff, but in reality many states have the majority of their land owned by the US federal government, so more than likely the big nodes would be secret bunkers in the middle of friggen nowhere guarded by a handful of dedicated division agents who were security guards in their civilian lives.
The division sounds like it recruits based on what it believes is needed. It's a very flexible sounding agency, a Jack of all trades, master of very little.
@@majorplothole2620 that's an in depth view. I thought I knew a lot but you know tons
@@majorplothole2620:Roll accounting into logistics. People aren't one-trick ponies.
The division is not real that's the fictional name adopted by the game for the real task force that would be put together if NSPD51 which is a real directive signed in 2007 by president George Bush, gets invoked, the real ppl that would get activated in such case, if you want to know who are this ppl look no further than the special operations community, delta, seals, HRT, FBI, those are the real division agents, the whole game is base on the results of operation Dark Winter, which was a real world excercise that took place in NYC in early 2000 where they simulated a bio terrorist attack to forsee societal breakdown
@@olofiboy interesting
NGN Gaming is a division agent #confirmed
Shhhhhhhhh ;-)
@@NGN many of us knows he his. And I am also a Division agent.
wait so everybody working for ngn is a division agent or only the guy reading off the script 😂🤔
This game and your lore videos has seriously made me think if similar agents exist in the real world. And if I were asked to join, I probably would
BRO SAME HERE I STARTED TOO
Woah...I feel I'm in a division agent briefing
I didn't know a lot of this, glad to see you revealing more information for us all to enjoy :)
Being in the Army i have spent a lot of time away from my family. If asked to join i would, because in the end i would be able to make a real change. In protecting them and others
This video was very brilliantly and exquisitely pieced together!
Would I accept being an Agent? It's easy for anyone to say yes, and I certainly would, but commitment to the very end of training and having to live years in a secret double-life will be the ultimate challenge for many.
Glad to see you back at it with dam fine videos
Excellent! Thanks for doing these it adds so much depth to the story.
Honestly they should make this into a TV Series..
Id watch it.
Hell yes
Their making a movie on Netflix and they'll go from there depending if it does good or not
I would join. Yes. However, I would not be chosen. Stupid health issues!
Knowing my health problems I'd end up working the infirmary at the White House.
Anyone with health issues can still be considered valuable to Research and Support. Not everyone has to serve in the field.
Nah you still can, you'll do get a role like Manny's only though.
Awesome, Awesome in-depth info ! Thanks and keep up the good work !
NGN...Thank you. I needed this video in my life! Keep up the amazing work...and see you in the next video!
Thanks Maverick 😊
If i had the opportunity to become an Division Agent, to protect my loved ones and the one person i care for most. I’ll die knowing that i protected my family and Her.
XIronheadX - You can do that as you are now. If you are a law abiding citizen without a criminal record you can purchase a firearm, get trained in the proficient use of said firearm, learn first aid and about disaster preparedness, take the needed action so that you and your loved ones will have what you need to survive in the event of a disaster. Begin a physical fitness regimen and include your loved ones in it, no one person can do it all alone. If you want to help more than just family and those you love, look into joining your local CERT ( Civilian Emergency Response Team) where you can get training and be ready to help your community in event of a disaster. There are a lot of resources available both online, in books and through government sources that can help you, your family and friends be better prepared and more resilient should a disaster strike. I have a Bachelors degree in Emergency Administration and Disaster Planning and teach Disaster preparedness, one of the most important things taught is that the first people to respond to an Emergency or disaster are the local citizens. Be prepared.
I just bought the game a week ago and am having a blast. Your lore videos are the next best thing to being immersed in the game's story. Subscribed!
Another incredible video adding that deep level of fantasy and immersion into an already great story. Thanks for your efforts and please keep up the great work.
Not so much of a fantasy, NSPD51 is a real directive signed by President George Bush in 2007, Google it and everything will make sense, elite units already exist, and they are formed into Task force by selecting members from this units.
Love it..for some reason this has been my favorite
To think that a video game can get adults this immersed and even make them reevaluate their career and life choices really means the story writer did a very good job.
Your videos make me feel like im watching an in depth investigation discovery series. Well done
You do such an amazing job with these vids dude, keep it up!!!!!!
Very nice video, very informative and easy to follow. Keep it up 👍
Great video keep it up 👌
Great video as always, already knew a lot of this from the big lore book, enjoyed every second I poured into that book, if I was approached I would definitely end interested I was called to serve and serve I shall. Semper Fidelis
2020 - sign me up!
@NGN This was truly excellent and answered many questions I had. Thank you for making this video. Additionally I have watched many if not all of your videos and love them. I just realized that I wasn't subscribed the whole time, but I am now. Keep up the good work. Also additionally, I'm not so sure that some of the Division agents aren't genetically enhanced and augmented with cybernetics. At least it would explain how they are able to do some of the things they can do. 😆
If I somehow passed the psych tests, I'd join sure. I doubt however they would allow someone like me to do so however. I have conditions (I won't say what because that's beside the point) that's corrected by medication. If the shit hits the fan and I no longer have access to that medication? People like myself and others like me (former military, high asvab score, good physical tests) would STILL wash out because we wouldn't be worth anything after a disaster takes longer than 15-30 days.
Which is kind of the Divisions whole point.
I doubt the candidate pool would even be that large. And the drop out rate would be extraordinary.
TLDR: More than likely, I would be passed over for the Divison. But I would serve them PROUDLY as a member of the JTF - probably in logistics, accounting, or the armory.
You dont need to pass them, Agent kelso failed spectacularly but had enough mental resilience to still be selected
Yes. Great video!
Another great lore vid....and another saturday startet in a great way .. thanks for doing these
Not so much for lore, and more of a vid based on real research, NSPD51 is a real directive signed by President George Bush in 07, Google it.
@@olofiboy i know of the directive, so yes Lore might have been the wrong Word to use, but then again, i think you are aware of what i meant with my comnent, right!!
All this time I thought they responded to an ad on "Craigslist" or "Monster" in the secret agent category
In life their are 3 groups. Group 1 : sheep- regular people minding their own business staying out of trouble living out their lives. Group 2:wolves- people that feed off the weak, causing trouble any where they go. And their is the final group. Sheepdog- the ones that protect the flock from wolves.

Excellent Video ! Keep it up !
Great vid! Keep it up!!
when your explaining what they are lookign for when picking a division agent, I said to myself "I fit all those except 1, Im a tiny bit over weight but im excercising everyday.But yeah I think I would be a good fit for the division
Wierd theory but what if those crazy challenges shows like those on MTV where a bunch of contestants go thru all these physical challenges are secretly the physical fitness portion of the selection process for potential candidates
LOL I like it!
Great video and this is a cool video
I love the videos that you do, they come across as very well researched and I commend you for that. Keep up the awesome work. I will never figure out where you get all the information though. I have played Divsion since almost launch and haven't seen some of the stuff you found about it.
If given the change to protect everything I hold dear I would do it.
Indefinitely be willing to do it. And as secretive as the government he wouldn’t be surprised if something similars already in play
It is, NSPD51 is a real directive signed by president George Bush in 07
Keep making these videos !!
Thanks for the video man. It provides very useful inside
Insight
Ya i think i would join the SHD if they approached me and asked
Great vid.
Id do it. ID do anything to protect my family and my Doggo
Forget yo family ptotect ur doggo
These lore videos are great. I'm putting together a Division tabletop set in Houston using T2K, these have helped tremendously
0:34 thats crazy how he was once their prisoner, now the cops are the prisoners.
They did a pretty terrible job selection since an alarming amount of agents went rouge.
110% on board with becoming a division agent.
I love your videos. Makes me so happy ^__^
I would humbly accept the honor to serve in that capacity if I was ever given the opportunity for an organization like that.
In a heart beat. With my past military experience I would just ask where do I sign.
Im still waiting for that video on the division 2 hunters
I think the hunters are indeed the 3rd wave agents and a secret contingency kill team within SHD. but since the SHD was branded as a rogue agency, without goverment control and orders, the hunter members are just as lost as a normal division agent. since Black Tusk was also hunting for division agents, so the hunters choose to hide from them and can only trigger with pazzle like activities.
That was pretty awesome, missing the cheers at the end haha
Im watching your series about Division from the beginning, it looks like some of materials can be updated with new information that we have found during current seasons :D
Only if I get paid in cheddar cheese cubes.
hey the SCP MTFs get paid in muffins Plain muffins
I highly doubt they would come to me in the first place, I'm not American and live in Australia.
If there was a global version of SHD then maybe I would have a slim chance.
I wouldn't be shocked if all members of the Five Eyes had their own version.
James Brice
Sorry for asking but.
What do you mean by "Five Eyes"?
If there was a global version I doubt they have any agents here in the Phillipines... Partially because finding all of the traits mentioned in one person here is kinda hard. If there was though I am under the impression they will be activated pretty soon. The archipelago is in a precipice...
I'm calling it now: The Division: Heartland is going to take place somewhere around those bunkers; either in South Dakota or Kansas. Most definately in Kansas, since that state is considered as the Heart of America.
This is number 1 video for me. RESPECT FROM CROATIA
Now I’m curious about agents paycheck. Do they get paid as a government staff or they’re just doing volunteer work?
HMMMM?
Here's my speculation, they are selected prior to any catastrophic events, yes? So while they are inactive, and is just a normal civilian, they are compensated by the government with enough support to maintain their livelihood until they are activated.
The turn in the gear they scavenge for credits. They basically get paid a commission for supplying gear to the vendors. The more items they pick up and sell, them more credits they earn.
Probably when they are dormant they receive a stipend to help fund the training activities and other activities pertaining to SHD. I'm guessing that if and when Directive 51 is activated they will probably get hazard pay and all the usual stuff that combat personnel receive. That is if they manage to bring back society as we know it. IF being the operative word.
I suspect that they wouldn't, at least officially... Additional funds would show up in bank records, and could compromise an agent or the SHD if they got audited. If they DO get compensated, I suspect that it would be in the form of preternatural luck in winning drawings for free memberships that cover for training exercises, and the occasional minor lottory win. Basically, something that could be chalked up to random chance if questioned.
