How to Fast Travel in The Division 2
In The Division 2, the world is vast and expansive, making traversal across Washington, D.C. a time-consuming task. As you venture from one area to another, you’ll likely find that fast travel is a valuable tool for saving time and getting to your objectives more efficiently. This guide will cover all the methods available for fast traveling, along with some troubleshooting tips to help you when things don’t go as planned.
Methods of Fast Travel in The Division 2
There are several ways to fast travel in The Division 2, ranging from standard methods to advanced options available after unlocking certain areas. Here’s a breakdown of the available fast travel methods:
1. Fast Travel via the Map
The simplest and most common way to fast travel is by using the in-game map. You can fast travel to various locations you’ve unlocked, including:
- Base of Operations – The White House: This is your primary base where you’ll spend a lot of time. Once unlocked, you can fast travel to it at any time.
- Completed Missions: After completing any mission, you’ll be able to fast travel to the mission’s location, which will appear as a grey icon on your map.
- Control Points: These are key locations that you can liberate from enemy forces. Once you’ve cleared a control point, it becomes a fast travel location.
- Settlements: As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock various settlements that serve as safe zones. Once unlocked, you can fast travel to these areas for quick access to vendors, quest givers, and more.
To use fast travel via the map:
- Open the map.
- Highlight the location you wish to fast travel to.
- Press the fast travel button to initiate the process.
You’ll see a brief loading screen, and your character will be transported to the chosen destination as though they’re walking to it.
2. Dark Zone Fast Travel
Once you’ve unlocked the Dark Zone (DZ), you’ll gain access to additional fast travel options within the zone. Fast travel in the Dark Zone works similarly to the rest of the world, but with a few unique features:
- Dark Zone Safehouses: These are the equivalent of settlements in the Dark Zone. Once unlocked, you can fast travel to them for easier access to Dark Zone activities, including DZ vendors and missions.
- Moving Resource Convoys: Interestingly, you can also fast travel to moving Resource Convoys within the Dark Zone. These convoys are an important part of the game’s loot system, and being able to fast travel to them can save you time when trying to secure valuable resources.
3. Fast Travel to Moving Resource Convoys
An interesting fast travel option is the ability to fast travel to moving Resource Convoys, which can be found across the map. These convoys carry high-value loot, and fast traveling to them allows you to intercept them more efficiently. If you spot one, you can fast travel directly to its location and try to seize the loot.
4. Fast Travel to Moving NPCs (Optional)
Fast travel options extend to important NPCs as well. If you’re part of a group, you can fast travel to specific NPCs as long as they are part of your mission progress. However, this feature is mostly useful in cooperative play and can help you skip over tedious travel time with your teammates.
Troubleshooting Fast Travel Issues
While fast travel is an incredibly helpful feature, sometimes things don’t go according to plan. Here are some common issues and how to fix them:
1. Combat Status
Fast travel is disabled when you’re in combat, so ensure that there are no enemies nearby when you attempt to travel. You might need to clear the area or wait for the combat status to reset before you can fast travel.
2. Restart the Game
If you find that fast travel isn’t working properly, a quick game restart can sometimes resolve the issue. Some players have reported that restarting the game has solved issues where fast travel buttons weren’t responding as expected.
Fast travel in The Division 2 is an essential tool that helps you navigate the vast world of Washington, D.C. efficiently. Whether you’re fast traveling to the Base of Operations, completed missions, or strategic Dark Zone locations, mastering this mechanic will save you time and improve your overall gameplay experience. Make sure to utilize all available fast travel options and keep an eye out for unique opportunities like moving Resource Convoys to maximize your loot gathering efforts.
