Open-world games are perfect playgrounds for nods to popular culture, both subtle and unabashedly bombastic, a rule to which The Division is no exception.
We already know Ubisoft slipped several Easter eggs into The Division, often through the silhouetted victims of the game’s wintry apocalypse. It worked well as a Breaking Bad reference, and as Redditor Lakupip discovered, is every bit as effective as a riff on Shaun of the Dead.
