10 Tips The Division Doesn’t Tell You
4. Target Marking System
As most of the Tom Clancy games, The Division also got a target marking system. Most of the players are not aware of this and I admit that I too stumbled upon it accidentally trying to activate the consumables, but the main thing is that it can be used to keep an eye on dangerous and powerful enemies during a combat.
ISAC will only help you here a little by just highlighting enemies if you focus on particular one for few seconds. But if you tap Up on D-pad or PC equivalent button it will actually mark a single target and also place objective marker (orange diamond) over their heads so that you can track that target. In addition to that if you direction, you will also activate a five second countdown timer, which is pretty helpful in coordinating attacks with your teammates or for flagging a fast enemy to direct your team’s attention.
I found this very useful in case of snipers and charging enemies. Snipers have this ability to dash from one point to another which can easily be missed as they are not in your field of view. Keeping a close eye on a charging enemy has also obvious benefits, because if you are preoccupied with other enemies they can quickly rush you.
