    The developers are currently working hard on the release of The Division 2’s first and free Episode “D.C. Outskirts: Expeditions” aka Title Update 5.and have launched another PTS phase to get some first impressions of players on the PC platform. Players will be able to experience new Main Missions, a new “Discovery Mode” for the Operation Dark Hours Raid, the new Expeditions game mode and more on the Public Test Server. The content won’t be available immediately, but be rolled out in multiple stages during the next days and weeks as you can see in the infographic below. Schedule July 1st: PTS is live. Manning National Zoo and Camp White Oak story missions will be available. July 3rd: Discovery Mode difficulty for the Washington National Airport raid. Matchmaking will be available for this difficulty. Gear sets as well as the Eagle Bearer Exotic are not included in the loot pool for Discovery Mode. July 5th: The first location of an Expedition site will be available. On July 6th, the second location of the same site will open for players. The third location opens on July 7th, completing the full Expedition site. You can return to previous locations as new ones are opened. July 8th: This phase will focus on gear balancing, skill build viability, and the introduction of two new exotics: the Diamondback Rifle and BTSU Datagloves. July 10th: PTS ends. Players who are participating in this test will receive a survey after each testing stage. As always, any feedback is highly appreciated and can be provided in the official PTS forums. Patch Notes New Main Mission: Manning National Zoo Emeline Shaw, the leader of the Outcasts, has fallen back from her defeat on Roosevelt Island and barricaded herself deep in the Manning National Zoo. To get to her, you will need to fight through the blockades and the Outcasts who protect her to put an end to her violence.New Main Mission: Camp White Oak The Black Tusks and their leader have set up a strategic position close to an estate nestled deep in the woodlands, and your assignment is to take them down and capture him in the new Camp White Oak mission.New Experience: Expeditions Expeditions are free events that bring players to unexplored locations around D.C. to discover new narrative and gameplay opportunities. These sites offer unique challenges and lore not found anywhere else: new collectibles, treasure rooms, environmental puzzles, unique boss mechanics, and more await every Agent who embarks on our Expeditions!New Classified Assignments Aquarium Datacentre Shepherd Reward System – Call for Backup Added the ability to earn the “Shepherd” title by responding to call for backups and earning endorsements. An agent who received help will be able to endorse the helping agent. Raid Added Story Difficulty to the Washington National Airport raid. Added Raid Completion Time to Clan Leaderboards. This leaderboard ranks clans based on how quickly they were able to complete the raid as a clan-only party. Exotics New Exotic: Diamondback Exotic Rifle Lever action rifle 5 round magazine 100 RPM Talents: „Agonizing Bite“Diamondback randomly marks an enemy. Hitting that enemy consumes the mark, guaranteeing a critical hit with +20% total damage. A new random enemy is marked afterwards, and whenever you reload. „Deep Fangs“After hitting 5 marked enemies, gain +50% reload speed, +20% total damage and all shots fired are guaranteed critical hits for 10s. „Shedding Skin“While drawn, each time a round is loaded, gain +20% bonus armor for 3s. While holstered, each time you reload or cycle your current weapon, gain +8% bonus armor for 2s New Exotic: BTSU Exotic Gloves Black Tusk gloves Talents: „Elemental Gadgetry“Skills that apply status effects gain +50% status effect duration and +50% skill haste „Energy Infusion“Whenever you apply a status effect, your gloves become infused with that for 60s. While infused, you gain +10% skill damage, +10% skill healing and repair and +10% skill duration for each Utility (yellow battery) on your gear. „Charged Proxies“Whenever you throw a skill, 1.25s after landing, it creates an explosion applying the infused status effect to all enemies within 6m. Enemies affected by the infused status effect take 50% more damage from your skills. Heroic Bosses now drop Exotics Only exotics that the player is qualified for. For world drop exotics it requires that the player has the drop previously For crafted exotics, it requires that the player has the blueprint The purpose of dropping these is to allow a chance to get GS 500 variants without upgrading, or get materials to upgrade other exotics These exotics can be team shared to other players. Exclusive Exotics, for example the Eagle Bearer from the Washington National Airport, will not be part of the exotic loot pool. Weapons New Assault Rifle: Carbine 7 30 round mag 790 RPM By default rolls with a new talent: „Overflowing“Every 3 reloads from empty increases your magazine capacity by 100% New Light Machine Gun: Stoner LMG 580 RPM 200 Mag capacity By default rolls with a new talent: „Overwhelm“Suppressing an enemy, that is not currently suppressed, grants +5% weapon damage for 10 seconds. Max stack is 5. Weapon Mods Added Flashlight attachments for pistols. Skills Developer Comments: We took a hard look at the current meta. The builds that are fun, effective and popular. We knew that skill builds, while it being something people want to play with, was nowhere near competitive. We knew there was an explosives damage build that was on the fringe of popularity, but none that actually relied on really good skill mods driven by skill power. We analyzed the best damage builds and survivability builds out there and looked at their efficiency – how fast they kill, how fast they can clear content, how fast they can take down enemies – and mapped that to our skills. How much more power do skills need to get from 3K skill power (our current maximum requirement on skill power mods) to compensate for all the damage bonuses the player is „giving up“ on gear to reach that skill power? Then we looked at each skill and what it should be good at (burst, sustain, single target damage, survivability etc) and went to work tuning the mods to make a skill build approach the efficiency of a „red“ damage build or a „blue“ tank build. To that effect, here are the current changes to skill mods power levels, and in some cases base numbers, on skills. Skill Haste Cooldown Reduction has been replaced with skill haste. Skill Haste works equivalent to speed. So, 100% Skill Haste reduces cooldown by 50%, like a car speeding up by 100% getting to its destination in half the time. This means that the player can invest in more than 100% Haste and still get something back. It also means there’s a diminishing return to Skill Haste, as opposed to cooldown reduction where each point was actually worth more than the last one. This allows us to have a good amount of Skill Haste possible from gear, but even larger amounts granted by high skill power Skill Mods, granting skill builds more frequent access to their souped up skills. To that effect, these are the changes to Skill Haste (formerly Cooldown Reduction): Hard caps removed. All current +Cooldown Reduction on existing gear becomes +Skill Haste, with an increase of 33% to their rolls Surge Talent – Increased Skill Haste from 10% to 20% Specialization skill mods (granted from each spec tree) These now require 0 skill power to run. Their bonuses are locked to a pretty high roll, making them the best power-to-performance mods in the game. There are still higher value mods of these types that can be found in the loot pool, however those do have Skillpower requirements. Hive Extra Payload – Damage increased from +30% to +100% Experimental Blend – Changed from flat value increase to percentage based increase of base Healing amount (+50%) Nitroglycerin Mixture – Damage increased from +30% to +100%+50% Healing variant added Cooling Vents – Skill Haste increased from +20% to +100% Internal Storage – Charges increased from +30% to +100% Swarm Control – Charges increased from +30% to +100% Turret Magnetic Rail – Damage increased from +30% to +150% Lubrication Gel – Duration increased from +60% to +100%+100% Burn Strength variant added Cyclone Magazine (Generic) – Added to loot pool+4 Extra Mortar Ammo Cyclone Magazine (Demolitionist) – Removed Skill Power Requirement+3 Extra Mortar Ammo Spare Parts – Skill Haste increased from +20% to +50% Organic Circuits – Duration increased from +60% to +100% Ammo Box – +50% Mortar Radius variant added SHD CPU V.2 (Generic) – Added to loot poolDamage increased from +7% to +150% SHD CPU V.2 (Demolitionist) – Removed Skill Power RequirementDamage increased from +7% to +100% Multi-tool – Skill Haste increased from +20% to +50% Pulse Nickel-Chromium Wire – Skill Haste increased from +60% to +100%+200% Remote Pulse Skill Haste variant added Silicon Carbide Coil – Charging Speed increased from +30% to +50% Microwave Amplifier (Gunner) – Removed Skill Power Requirement+30% Confuse Duration Exploded Blueprint – Skill Haste increased from +60% to +100% Heating Mantle – Charging Speed increased from +30% to +50% Directional Transmitter (Gunner) – Removed Skill Power Requirement30% Cone Size Seeker Mine Mini Electric Motor – Skill Haste increased from +40% to 100% Delivery System Upgrade – +100% Damage variant added Ball Bearings – Damage increased from +30% to 100% Magnetic Disc (Generic) – Added to loot pool+100% Skill Haste Magnetic Disc (Survivalist) – Removed Skill Power RequirementSkill Haste increased from 9.7% to 80% Phosphorus Ingredient – Healing increased from 60% to 100% RDX Pellet Payload – Damage increased from +30% to +100%+100% Burn Strength variant added Larrea Tridenta Infusion (Generic) – Added to loot pool+100% Healing Larrea Tridenta Infusion (Survivalist) – Removed Skill Power RequirementHealing increased from +14.5% to +50% Chem Launcher Piranha Solution – Damage increased from +30% to +100%+100% Burn Strength variant added Chromatics Training – Radius increased from +30% to +50% Slip Fit Tube – Skill Haste increased from +30% to +50% Cell Penetrating Peptide – Healing increased from +60% to +100% Hydrochloric Infusion – Damage increased from +30% to +100% Ultra-Thin Cartridges – Radius increased from +30% to +50% Liquid Nitrogen Cooling System – Skill Haste increased from +30% to +50% Pharmacokinetic Enhancer – Healing increased from +60% to +100% Drone Graphene Battery (Generic) – Added to loot pool+100% Duration Graphene Battery (Sharpshooter) – Removed Skill Power RequirementDuration increased from +14.5% to +80% Electric Soldering Tool – Skill Haste increased from +40% to +100% Gimbal Vibration Damping – Health increased from +60% to +100% Blitzkrieg Blasting Powder – +200% Striker Damage variant added Carbon Fiber Frame (Generic) – Added to loot pool+100% Skill Haste Carbon Fiber Frame (Sharpshooter) – Removed Skill Power RequirementSkill Haste increased from +9.7% to +80% Reinforced Rotor Blades – Health increased from +60% to +100% Terminal Ballistics – Damage increased from +30% to +200% Trauma Analyzer – Healing increased from +30% to +50%+50% Deflector Duration variant added Gaffer Tape – Duration increased from +60% to +100% Hollow-point Bullets – Damage increased from +30% to +200% Electropulsing Stimuli – Healing increased from +30% to +50%+100% Fixer Skill Haste variant added Shield Titanium Reinforcement – Health increased from +45% to +110% Shape-memory Alloy – Deflected Damage increased from +20% to +100% Cementitious Material – Holstered Regeneration increased from +60% to +100% Weaved Aramid Fiber – Health increased from +45% to +110% Supramolecular Networks – Active Regeneration increased from +20% to +50% Liquid Metal Microdroplets – Holstered Regeneration increased from +60% to +100% Thermoresponsive Polymer – Deflected Damage increased from +20% to +100% Smart UHMWPE Lexicon – Active Regeneration increased from +20% to +50%+110% Ballistic Shield Health variant added Firefly Alignment Valve – +100% Damage variant added Tungsten Compound – +100% Damage variant added Propantriol Adhesive – Skill Haste increased from +40% to +100% Microfiller Resin – Skill Haste increased from +40% to +100% Crafting The Crafting Bench is now upgradable and will then allow to craft gear up to a Gear Score of 500.It will require one gun and one gear piece of 490 GS or higher to build, and after that, the player can craft GS 500 items. Deconstructing high end gear pieces now predictably grants brand materials.

    The Division 2’s Title Update 4, including the fourth Specialization, has been released earlier today on June 18th during the planned maintenance downtime! The latest patch adds the Special Field Research to unlock the new “Gunner” Specialization, a program which consists of five stages with unique rewards. Year 1 Pass holders will unlock it automatically, but can still earn the exclusive rewards by completing these newly added challenges within this program. Furthermore, the Clan experience system has been reworked so that smaller clans now have it easier to complete Weekly Projects, the same goes for CXP requirements for Clan Cache tiers in general. One of the more significant changes towards the character’s gear is that Generic Protocol and System Mods that can no longer be equipped in High-End, Gear Set and Exotic items. However, Mod slot requirements are now only based on their respective types (Offense, Defense, Utility) and are not tied to specific attributes anymore. Last but not least, players can now go Rogue in the Occupied Dark Zone, and a new Exotic holster item called “Dodge City Gunslinger’s” has been added. For more information about the changes, please take a look at the full patch notes below. Patch Notes Special Field Research To unlock the Specialization when Title Update 4 hits the live servers, you’ll be tasked to complete five stages of in-game challenges! Year One Pass owners will unlock the Specialization immediately but will also be able to go on a Special Field Research, unlocking unique cosmetic rewards! On the PTS you will be able to test the Special Field Research. Clans Changed Clan Weekly Projects to be easier to complete for smaller clans. Reduced CXP requirements for each tier of Clan Cache. Invites and join requests that have not been responded to within 28 days will automatically be removed from the clan inbox. Added last online status to show when clan members were last active.

Added a new “Keyword” section in the clan details, allowing players to choose from a list of predefined words to describe their clan. Added “Keyword” search functionality when looking for a clan. The clan member who earns the top distinction of the week will receive a medal icon over their name in the clan roster. Clan insignia is now visible when using photo mode Mods Generic Protocol Mod and Generic System Mod can no longer be equipped in High-End, Gear Set and Exotic items. You will still be able to equip them in lower quality items. All other mods can be equipped in slots matching their type (Offense, Defense, Utility). Developer comment: Generic mods could be stacked in unhealthy ways and the gear mod eco system has not been in a place we are happy with and it had led to some unwanted behavior such as low-level farming for generic mods. Missions Roosevelt IslandShipping containers containing virus samples will now be easier to spot. Projects Specific talents requirements for project donations has been removed. Replica/crafted items requirement for project donations has been removed. Added World Tier 5 requirements for some projects. Increased rewards for most projects.

Apparel Caches should now only display a “!” in the UI when a key is acquired and once the key has been seen should disappear. There’s now a timer that shows the cooldown before being able to kick a player from a group. Skills Further improved the Reviver Hive which should result in it more reliably reviving downed agents. Assault DroneAfter killing its current target, the Assault Drone will now attack the enemy the player is currently shooting. If no target is being shot, it will attack the closest enemy to its owner instead. Exotics New Exotic Holster: Dodgy City Gunslinger’s Holster Talents RootedThe talent description now states the intended cooldown of 60 seconds. Commendations Further improved Discovery Merits to allow loot boxes opened by other players count towards every group member’s progress. Dark Zone Players can now go Rogue in the Occupied Dark Zone. Dealing damage to other Agents (outside of your group) will cause the player to disavow The Division. There is no grey Rogue in the ODZ. Damaging other Agents is the only way to go Rogue in the ODZ. Additional Manhunt ranks have been added to the ODZ. Players still have to clear their bounties at SHD terminals, but additional rewards are available to players who clear (or claim) a high rank bounty. Manhunt ranks are now infinite in the ODZ. Killing other Agents increases the player’s Manhunt rank, along with their Dark Zone XP rewards on a successful bounty clear. Compete on a new leaderboard for the highest ODZ Manhunt rank!

    Today’s State of the Game episode #124 from June 12th, 2019, was almost entirely dedicated to this year’s E3 in Los Angeles. Besides a short recap of The Division 2’s Year 1 content, the currently on the Public Test Server deployed Title Update 4 (preview) and the new Specialization (preview) will be released sometime during next week, so Hamish Bode, who was once more joined by Game Designer Rasmus Künstlicher. This Friday will, therefore, mark the end of this PTS phase. Although we don’t have a complete list of all the changes yet that will drop with the upcoming update – the full patch notes will be published next week, prepare yourself for some changes in the following areas that have already been covered in the previously linked State of the Game article from last week: New Specialization “Gunner” New Exotic “Dodge City Gunslinger’s” Specializations rework Mods: Generic Mods cannot be longer stacked in endgame builds. System and Protocol Mod requirements will be only based on their color anymore and not on the type itself. Moreover, the dev team is still investigating the issue with the not rewarded Raid Arm Patches for players who completed the Raid within the first week. Also, the unreliable hit registration in the Shooting Range some players have noticed was only an issue that occurred in there, but nowhere else in the Open World. The developers also mentioned that the Signature Weapons are currently not working as expected on the PTS when it comes to their damage output, something that will get fixed by Title Update 4 as well. In the meantime, Named High-End Items, which currently come with a lore snippet but are otherwise not further distinguishable to their regular High-End counterparts, will receive some unique design updates to make them more exclusive. For example, one of the items that will be reworked is the F2000 Shield Splinterer. The post State of the Game: Title Update 4 & Minigun are Coming Next Week appeared first on The Division Zone.

    We have already briefly mentioned them in our initial E3 coverage – Expeditions. A recently published Intelligence Annex reveals first details about these new activities. The Division 2’s Episode 1 D.C. Outskirts adds new free events called Expeditions to the game that let players explore abandoned overgrown locations around the city that bring in fresh lore, unique challenges as well as hidden treasures. You could think of Contaminated Zones, but with a much larger extent when it comes to collectibles, environmental puzzles, boss mechanics and first and foremost, loot. Breakdown Expedition sites will become available through the Helicopter Pilot at the Base of Operations or the in-game map and consist of three time-unlimited locations with a specific completion style and tracking. Completing all three of them will grant access to an exclusive treasure room filled with rewards. Mastery System Playing through the story of aforementioned locations unlocks optional replayable challenges with Gold, Silver and Bronze ratings that come in the form of a Mastery System. According to the article, it will solely depend on the individual performance of each player of how many rewards can be earned. Rewards Speaking about rewards; be sure to complete the entire Expedition, reach the Gold Mastery and enter the treasure rooms to get the maximum of loot out of this experience!

    Yesterday’s E3 Media Briefing was also used to shed some light on the official The Division Movie that is now coming to Netflix instead to local theaters as previously assumed. Even though we don’t know much about the movie itself yet, it’s still good to see that the original cast of characters with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain didn’t change. The fact that Ubisoft has mentioned it at this year’s E3 means that it’s only a question of time until we get the chance to watch this movie in our living rooms at home.

    Ubisoft has held its E3 2019 Media Briefing once again in the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown LA, and besides a couple of new game announcements, Terry Spier, Creative Director at Ubisoft Red Storm, has finally revealed some more information about the content of the three Episodes that are coming in The Division 2’s Year 1. Year 1 “First Look” With Episode 1 being just around the corner with a release date sometime in July 2019, the Year 1 content comes with new Main Missions, Expeditions, another Raid as well as the rumored but now finally confirmed Return to New York City where it all began. Be sure to check out the trailer below to see the different sceneries and biomes that are coming soon! Remember that players who purchased the Year 1 Pass will be able to play it one week earlier than the rest, but all of it will still be available for free for everyone who owns the game. Episode 1 The Division 2’s first Episode called “D.C. Outskirts: Expeditions” includes two new Main Missions with new narrative and will lead Agents out of the urban environment to explore the city’s surroundings in the woodlands. Emeline Shaw, the leader of the Outcasts, barricaded herself deep in the Manning National Zoo after her defeat at Roosevelt Island. Your job is it to bring her and her supporters down by fighting through numerous Outcasts blockades besides eventually gaining some useful information about the many there living species, including pelicans, crocodiles, monkeys and more. The second mission will lead you to a from the Black Tusk established strategic compound deep in the woods, where your task will be to capture the leader and take down the rest. Both missions can be started by getting briefed by the Helicopter Pilot outside of your Base of Operations, while the Black Tusk mission requires you to reach World Tier 5 and the completion of Tidal Basin first. Moreover, Episode 1 will also introduce a new and cooperative Expeditions gameplay mode with unique challenges, masteries, riddles and mechanics where Agents will have to explore and investigate why a military convoy went dark at the Kenly College. Episode 2 As the second Episode’s name “Pentagon: The Last Castle” already suggests, the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, will become an explorable part for Agents of The Division to stop the Black Tusk from once again trying to throw the state’s secrets out into the open. Furthermore, another 8-player Raid with a possible connection to the True Sons will find its way into the game later this fall. Episode 3 Episode 3 of The Division 2 is called “Coney Island: Homecoming” and after all the hints and references to the Big Apple that have been found within those 3 months in Washington, D.C., it’s now confirmed, players will go back to The Division’s roots, to New York City. Coney Island is a neighborhood in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in NYC. Based on the imagery in the video below, the society is again at its stakes and it’s up to you and every Agent out there to participate in the final manhunt in order bring down that person behind the Green Poison and save what remains. Free Weekend If you haven’t had the chance to try out Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 yet, then you might want to check it out during the incoming weekend, starting from June 13th to the 16th, as the game will be available to play for free.

    The Division 2’s Title Update 3.1 has been successfully deployed earlier this week, followed by the first preview of Title Update 4 including the fourth Specialization “Gunner,” which can now be tried out on the Public Test Server. Title Update 1.3 is Live The latest patch with a size of 1.3 GB has fixed things like the over-aggressiveness of NPCs, the glitch with the non-retrievable Hunter Masks and Ivory Keys as well as some other loot and collectible related issues. Please find the full patch notes below. Increased tutorial font size on the Mega Map. Increased visibility on Collectibles and Caches in the Open World. Fixed an issue where the “Loot” tutorial at the beginning of the game wouldn’t appear. Fixed an issue where the Field Proficiency toast would not include the gained rewards. Fixed an issue where players could remain stuck in the Theater settlement after recruiting Inaya al-Khaliq. Fixed an issue that could cause players to get stuck on the roof of the Grand Washington Hotel mission. Fixed an issue where Hunter Mask and Ivory Keys would not drop, even if the player correctly solved the riddle and killed the Hunter(s). This fix should allow players to re-do the Hunters and collect the Masks and Keys they are currently missing. Fixed an issue where the rate of fire on semi-automatic weapons would be lower than intended. Fixed an issue where face masks would appear smaller than intended. Fixed an issue where opening a Dark Hours Apparel Cache could cause a continuous loop. Fixed an error that removed the Loot All as Junk option. Sorry about that! Fixed an issue where enemy NPCs would rush past players to get into cover. Fixed an issue where enemy NPCs would flank players too often. Fixed an issue where enemy NPCs would not react to any combat until reaching cover or having their movement interrupted. Fixed an exploit where armor would scale to unintended values when normalized. Source Title Update 4 on the PTS Title Update 4 is now available on the PTS. Besides the following summary about the changes that have been made so far, you can also find the current patch notes further down below. It was also the main focus topic of this week’s State of the Game episode #123. Overview Specializations: A lot of changes are coming to the Specialization system and their skill trees, including buffs, nerfs, and overall balancing changes. Part of it will be the possibility to spec into any weapon type rather than being bound to specific weapons of a Specialization. More transparency for gaining signature weapon ammunition: A new UI element next to the Agent’s health bar will signalize the current progress for when a new signature ammunition drop can be expected. This bar now fills up more effectively when doing headshots, killing status affected enemies and using the already known Specialization actions. Mods: Generic gear mod slots have been added. Furthermore, there will be no slot restrictions anymore between Protocol and System mods. They will now fit purely based on their red/blue/yellow status. First Exotic “Dodge City Gunslinger’s” gear item: A new Blueprint on the PTS reveals The Division 2’s first Exotic gear item, a holster focused on Pistol damage, bullet penetration, and weapon reloading sequences. You can find more details about it as well as how to acquire it here. Occupied Dark Zone: Players in the Occupied Dark Zone will be able to go Rogue. The only way to disavow The Division will be by damaging other Agents. Global Events? There is no confirmation yet whether the popular Global Events from The Division 1 will make it back into its sequel, but a new tutorial-placeholder which gets triggered when entering the PTS hints that the developers have at least plans for re-adding them. New Specialization: “Gunner” The new Specialization called “Gunner” introduces The Division 2’s first heavy weapon in the form of a Minigun and is ready to test out and play around with on the PTS for all players. The Gunner receives bonus armor based on the amount of Specialization ammunition he or she is carrying and is furthermore specialized in tanking incoming damage for a short time while being able to suppress enemies with the Minigun. Similar to the Shield Skill, drawing the Minigun will limit the movement abilities so that entering a cover, vaulting or rolling, is not possible anymore during that time. But, the Gunner comes with the Banshee Signature Skill, which ignores cover and causes its targets to become confused and eventually leave their cover – the perfect moment to use the new Riot Foam special grenade to trap them in place, working similar to its same-named Skill variant. Special Field Research Unlike the first three Specializations, which were already available at launch, players will have to complete the newly added Special Field Research program first in order to unlock new Specializations, unless you own the Year 1 Pass. This research consists of fives stages that come with a set of in-game challenges and objectives to earn rewards and to finally unlock the Gunner Specialization. Even though Year 1 Pass holders will instantly unlock the new Specialization, it’s still possible to take on these challenges for additional exclusive premium rewards, including the Fisticuffs and Front Flex emotes, Charcoal and Detritus gear dyes, Rosethorn and Pineapple weapon skins, the Gunner mask and the Gunner specialization uniform. PTS Patch Notes These are the patch notes for the current changes on the Public Test Server. Any feedback is highly appreciated and can be provided in the official PTS forums. New Specialization Introducing the first post-launch Specialization! The Gunner is equipped with a powerful minigun and all players on the PTS will be able to test this new vanguard! Special Field Research To unlock the Specialization when Title Update 4 hits the live servers, you’ll be tasked to complete five stages of in-game challenges! Year One Pass owners will unlock the Specialization immediately but will also be able to go on a Special Field Research, unlocking unique cosmetic rewards! On the PTS you will be able to test the Special Field Research. Mods Generic Protocol Mod and Generic System Mod can no longer be equipped in High-End, Gear Set and Exotic items. You will still be able to equip them in lower quality items. All other mods can be equipped in slots matching their type (Offense, Defense, Utility). Developer comment: Generic mods could be stacked in unhealthy ways and the gear mod eco system has not been in a place we are happy with and it had led to some unwanted behavior such as low-level farming for generic mods. Missions Roosevelt IslandShipping containers containing virus samples will now be easier to spot. NPCs Removed “bulletproof” backpacks from NPCs that would block all incoming damage. Decreased acceleration of NPCs when repositioning in cover. Enabled Engineer archetype NPCs to setup Turrets on the ground if no valid cover position exists. Fixed various issues with Controller archetype NPCs getting stuck or being unresponsive in certain situations. NPCs can’t be suppressed when deploying a Drone. UI Removed redundant “!” for new items shown in Cache Content in Proficiency Caches. Apparel Caches should now only display a “!” in the UI when a key is acquired and once the key has been seen should disappear. There’s now a timer that shows the cooldown before being able to kick a player from a group. Skills Further improved the Reviver Hive which should result in it more reliably reviving downed agents. Assault DroneAfter killing its current target, the Assault Drone will now attack the enemy the player is currently shooting. If no target is being shot, it will attack the closest enemy to its owner instead. Talents RootedThe talent description now states the intended cooldown of 60 seconds. Commendations Further improved Discovery Merits to allow loot boxes opened by other players count towards every group member’s progress. Dark Zone Players can now go Rogue in the Occupied Dark Zone. Dealing damage to other Agents (outside of your group) will cause the player to disavow The Division. There is no grey Rogue in the ODZ. Damaging other Agents is the only way to go Rogue in the ODZ. Additional Manhunt ranks have been added to the ODZ. Players still have to clear their bounties at SHD terminals, but additional rewards are available to players who clear (or claim) a high rank bounty. Manhunt ranks are now infinite in the ODZ. Killing other Agents increases the player’s Manhunt rank, along with their Dark Zone XP rewards on a successful bounty clear. Compete on a new leaderboard for the highest ODZ Manhunt rank!

Fixed an issue where NPCs would skip animations after jumping. Fixed an issue where the Call for Backup would not be received by players having the option activated.

    The Division 2’s first Raid is out for almost two weeks and while players are understanding the missing but in the future coming Matchmaking, the console community has become very vocal about its challenging difficulty. It was one of the topics, besides the game’s roadmap, that has been discussed by the developers in the latest State of the Game episode #121 from May 22nd. The Raid’s difficulty seems to be too high for console players due to different aspects like too small weak-points on bosses or specific mechanics and goals that are harder to accomplish on consoles than on its PC counterpart. There were also rumors that the difficulty will for sure be lowered pretty soon as it is “impossible” to complete as some players claim it to be. According to the developers, there are currently no plans to adjust the difficulty as more data needs to be collected to get a bigger picture of the several segments of the Raid. It was meant to be The Division 2’s hardest in-game activity which why the developers don’t want to rush this decision. Introducing more difficulty modes much like as other activities such as Missions are offering right now could and would most likely help with lowering the entrance barrier for players on all platforms. Stay tuned! Race to World First The World-First Raid title has been won by a squad on PC within five and a half hours after it was released, whereas it took players on both consoles around 30+ hours to complete it for the first time. However, and besides the difficulty discussion, Ubisoft was listening to community requests to now immortalize one team of each platform in the White House rather than only the team who first completed the Raid across all platforms. Players will be shown the team pictures dedicated to their platform once the developers are done with the implementation in the next days. Congratulations again to the three squads who actually made it! In case you have missed this historical moment, check out this clip on Twitch. PC Ranger_84 Sleepy0- TheSc4le.

The current World record time is set at 16 minutes and 30 seconds on PC, by the same team who completed the Raid first. The current record on PS4 is ~35 minutes and ~38 minutes on Xbox One. Despite all the difficulty complaints obviously still doable. The last days have shown though that this might only last for some more hours until another team with the Clan tag DUK comes to take (back) the lead! Future Updates The developers are planning to release the next client-side patch Title Update 3.1 very soon and although there is no particular date for it yet, it will contain a lot of bugfixes for things like the unwanted aggressiveness of NPCs who recently started to rush players more often than intended, fire rate of semi-automatic weapons, sound, and cosmetic item issues, etc. The next content drop is a little bit further away and can be expected with Title Update 4, which will introduce a fourth Specialization as well as other activities for all players. Another PTS will be launched before this update goes live.

    While Title Update 3.0 was successfully deployed earlier this day, players are now eagerly waiting for the game’s first Raid to become available in less than 48 hours. Operation Dark Hours, so the name of The Division 2’s first 8-player Raid, will be released this Thursday, May 16 at 6PM CEST / 12 PM EST / 1AM KST / 2 AM ACT. Ubisoft has released a new trailer to introduce players to the Raid’s location at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and to give a glimpse of the different challenges that will await us. One of them will be the coordination between the two sub-groups as the whole team will split up into two parties of four players each to find and fight their own way through the airport. Despite CERA’s best efforts to contain the outbreak at the Washington National Airport, the situation quickly became untenable, resulting in the airport being coated in DC-62 and subsequently abandoned. When the Black Tusk arrived in D.C., they set up shop in the now derelict airport. The Black Tusk units are stronger than ever before and will try to defend the airport at all cost by bringing in heavy support such as unique bosses with the most exotic mechanics and technology that players haven’t experienced so far in The Division 2’s Open World. Race to World First The Raid will feature exclusive rewards, while the developers have thought about a very special one for the first team to finish it. History Will Remember There will be only one team in the world and across all platforms which can and will complete this challenge first, and the players who manage to do so will receive a very unique and permanent recognition in the White House in the form of a painting in the corridor near the Clan room. This painting will be visible to all players in the game and show the eight players’ usernames as well as their Clan name. Although the aforementioned Clan name might lead to some confusion, it’s not required that all players in the team are also part of the same Clan. The winners will be officially announced a few days after the completion. Find out more about the “Race to World First” Terms & Conditions on the official website. Beat the Raid as a Clan Another time-unlimited challenge requires players of the same Clan to complete the Raid to receive a unique Clan insignia as well as a unique Raid trophy. Beat the Raid During the First Week Last but not least a challenge for everyone out there who likes to take on the Raid that doesn’t require you to be in a Clan or group. The reward will be a unique Arm Patch, but don’t hesitate too long as it will only be available to unlock within the first week after release. The infographic also mentions extra rewards when watching the Raid on Twitch, so be sure to check the official channel to earn these rewards. Raid Details The Raid can be started by speaking with the helicopter pilot at the Base of Operations, which will unlock a new tab to build and manage for this game mode specific groups to start the game. The following requirements need to be met by players in order to participate in the Raid; Character level 30 World Tier 5 Gear Score 490 A full party of eight is not required, but it’s worth to mention that the overall difficulty will not scale as it will be always scaled for eight players. Besides the already listed rewards from above, the bosses in Operation Dark Hours will drop Raid-exclusive loot, including three new Gear Sets, a new Exotic Assault Rifle called “The Eagle Bearer” and vanity items. Moreover, new Commendations and unique Arm Patches will also become available. Although the Raid can be completed multiple times, a weekly timer will protect the boss’ loot from dropping again within the same week, until it resets for the week after. Dark Hours Apparel Event A new Apparel Event will be launched alongside the release of Operation Dark Hours and will include the following cosmetic item rewards: 5 Outfits and 1 Uniform 2 Masks 4 Emotes 8 Weapon Skins The post Operation Dark Hours: 8-Player Raid Releases May 16th; Race to World First, Exclusive Gear and Apparel Event appeared first on The Division Zone.

To achieve this goal, we’re expressing the recalibrated power as a separate number called Recalibration Score, next to the Gear Score.

    Today’s The Division 2 State of the Game episode #119 was all about the upcoming Title Update 3. The PTS will shut down tomorrow to pave the way for TU3’s release next week, with the 8-player raid following shortly after its release sometime later. Gear Score Cap Untouched The community was concerned that the developers might want to increase the Gear Score to 500+ as part of the next update, which essentially would have made most parts of the up to now collected gear items useless. Thankfully, the team was listening to the players’ feedback and decided to leave the cap untouched for now and will keep it at 500 to allow players to continue min/maxing their gear for activities like the incoming raid. Your gear and your builds are important to you and to us. The same goes for item stats. Even though higher stat ranges would have improved the one or other gear item, optimization of current builds is currently more encouraged than having to be afraid of another chase of a new set of items that might not fit your playstyle. More Rewarding Loot Because of the current inconsistency in drop rates of items with higher Gear Score (such as GS 500), the activities system has been reworked in terms of rewards for Title Update 3. Since the Gear Score cap will not be increased, these changes will lead to more valuable items with the same or higher Gear Score than the one of your character and introduce guaranteed loot with Gear Score 500 if your Agent’s average Gear Score has reached 500 in the following scenarios: Daily Priority missions (Hard/Challenging) Heroic Mission bosses Stronghold bosses Bounty bosses Control Point Alert Level 4 reward containers DZ contaminated loot (won’t drop below the player’s average Gear Score anymore) Raid Although the 8-player raid Operation Dark Hours is scheduled to be rolled out a bit later after Title Update 3’s release, players can expect exclusive loot consisting of new Gear Sets (Sneak Peek) as well as a new Exotic weapon (Assault Rifle?). As the first raid in The Division’s history, the developers want to make sure that everything else is ready and stable for players to prepare themselves for one of the most difficult challenges ahead. Patch Notes Preview Besides today’s focus topics related to Gear Score, Commendations as well as Control Points, the following patch notes excerpt gives a glimpse of what players can expect of the next update. Please be aware that these patch notes are not final and therefore not complete. They will be published alongside the release of Title Update 3 during next week. Gear Score Gear score won’t be increased beyond 500 for TU3 as most players have yet to reach the cap, or have only just reached the cap and haven’t had time to optimize their builds. The decision is meant to encourage players to reach the 500 cap and optimize their loadouts and builds to suit their play style before the raid. The rewards for daily Priority Hard and Challenging missions have increased. Once you reach gear score 500, those activities will guarantee gear score 500 drops. Heroic Mission bosses, Stronghold bosses, and Bounty bosses, as well as Control Point Alert Level 4 reward containers, guarantee gear score 500 items if your average gear score is at 500. Dark Zone contaminated loot does not drop below player’s average gear score. When you reach an average gear score of 500, contaminated loot will guarantee gear score 500 items. Loot has been balanced across the board to reduce the chances of items dropping at a lower gear score than that of your character. Commendations Some Daily Login Commendations have been removed because they were unfair to dedicated players who were unable to play every day. The following Commendations have been removed: 28 Days Distinction: Record 672 hours (28 days) of time in-game. Distinguished Service Ribbon: For 30 consecutive days, on each day play for at least one hour and complete one mission. Supreme Response Distinction: For seven consecutive days, on each day complete four main missions and rescue five civilians. Year One Merit: Play on 14 days per month, on a total of 12 months. Division Service Merit: For a total of 100 days, on each day play for at least one hour and deliver 20 resources to control points. Vanity patch will be added for those that have already earned the removed Commendations. The following Commendations will be added for Operation Dark Hours: Full Deck Distinction: Acquire all Snitch Cards. Distinguished Service Distinction: Complete 30 hours of service. Supreme Response Distinction: Complete all main missions and Strongholds on Hard difficulty (or above). Control Point Takeover Merit: Take over 50 Level 4 Control Points. Invasion Service Merit: Complete 10 Invaded Strongholds. Crafting Increased the base cap for Receiver Components and Protective Fabric crafting materials by 200; caps now start at 350 and end at 600 with all material capacity perks.

    There will be a scheduled The Division 2 server maintenance tomorrow, which includes the rollout of a long overdue bugfix for an endgame blocker connected to Henry Hayes. The servers will shut down Thursday, May 2nd at 09:30 AM CEST / 03:30 AM EDT / 00:30 AM PDT. The estimated downtime is approximately 3 hours. Henry Hayes leads the Campus Settlement and is one of the main characters in the game. However, a randomly occurring and therefore hard reproducible issue prevented players from interacting with him which, in the worst case, lead to players being stuck at this point without being able to progress in the campaign or entering The Division 2’s endgame. The original changelog can be found below. Fixed an issue where players could not interact with Henry Hayes. You can follow the maintenance’s progress in the official forums.

    While The Division 2’s Title Update 3.0 has been postponed to sometime in May, the second phase of the Public Test Server has been started a few days ago. Because the developers are still actively working on the update itself, the PTS doesn’t contain all the changes, and some information might be missing in the patch notes as well. PTS Phase 2 focuses on the following major areas and changes. Any feedback is highly appreciated and can be provided in the official PTS forums. RecalibrationHow does the new system feel in terms of power, usefulness and comparing it to its previous version? Reviver HiveThe developers added further fixes to this skill which should significantly increase its reliability. Character getting stuckFurther improvements have been made to prevent agents from getting stuck. Control PointsAlert Levels (difficulties) have been adjusted, and incoming attackers should be better highlighted now. The developers are especially interested in the difficulty changes of higher Alert Levels. Missions Changes to NPC sponginess, lethality, and spawning in missions were applied. Heroic should still be very difficult, but not impossible to master with good gear in a group. Post-Mission Stats The developers are also experimenting with new features such as the newly added post-mission stats screen, which optionally allows players to get an overview of their group’s as well as their performance within the previously played mission. The overview highlights the players’ Gear Score, Specialization, Clan and Arm Patch as well their dealt damage, the number of kills, revives count and accuracy, whereas the expanded section shows more detailed information about the player, including taken damage, Headshot kills, etc. Please note that all of this is still subject and currently only available on the PTS. Thanks to reddit user bartex69 for sharing these two screenshots. New Gear Sets Furthermore, three new Gear Sets have been spotted by reddit user Soulless_BabyPsn on the Public Test Server. The sets (their 5- and 6-piece bonuses in particular) seem to be tied to one of the Specializations and can currently be acquired the same way as the Hard Wired Gear Set, by using Blueprints to craft the gear pieces through collecting components via Projects. Aces and Eights Requires Sharpshooter specialization for 5- and 6-piece bonuses. Set Bonus (2/6): +20.0% Weapon Handling Set Bonus (3/6): +20.0% Accuracy Set Bonus (4/6): +10.0% Marksman Rifle Damage Set Bonus (5/6): Dead Man’s Hand: Flip a card by shooting an enemy with your Marksman Rifle, headshots flip two. Full House refills your weapon and stops ammo depletion for 10 seconds. 4 of A Kind grants 30% bonus armor for 10 seconds. Aces and Eights grants the next 5 bullets 100% damage. Set Bonus (6/6): Sheriffs Favor: Effects of Dead Man’s Hand are applied to all of your Party/Raid members. Tip of the Spear Requires Survivalist specialization for 5- and 6-piece bonuses. Set Bonus (2/6): +20.0% Pulse Skill Power Set Bonus (3/6): +20.0% Cooldown Reduction Set Bonus (4/6): 20% Protection from Elites Set Bonus (5/6): Electromagnetic Trigger: Crossbow bolts are equipped with proximity detonators. On impact, bolts trigger a 9m pulse. Set Bonus (6/6): Aggressive Recon: When killing an enemy, trigger a small pulse from their location. Party/Raid members deal 20% extra damage to pulsed targets. Negotiators Dilemma Requires Demolitionist specialization for 5- and 6-piece bonuses. Set Bonus (2/6): 10,000 Armor on Kill Set Bonus (3/6): +30.0% Health Set Bonus (4/6): 30% Explosive Resistance Set Bonus (5/6): Blowback: Launch a grenade at the target that depleted your armor, can occur once every 3 seconds. Set Bonus (6/6): Press Home for Advantage: Explosions caused by the player stacks a bombardier buff. Each stack of the buff grants Party/Raid members +10% explosive damage and the player with 10% bonus armor for 10s. As mentioned before, we don’t know yet whether these Gear Sets will actually make it into Title Update 3.0, however, and since the developers have enabled them on the PTS, chances are high that they will make it into the next update. Patch Notes Game Changes Crafting Increased the base cap for Receiver Components and Protective Fabric crafting materials by 200, meaning that their caps now start at 350 and end at 600 with all material capacity perks. Inaya al-Khaliq in the Base of Operation is now a Crafting Vendor, she can be found next to the Crafting Bench in the White House. Added Specialized and Superior Skill Mod Blueprints to her stock. Added an extra weekly Blueprint to her stock. Moved crafting Blueprints from the Base of Operations vendor to her stock.

Gear sets Hard WiredNow grants Skill Damage instead of Shock Duration. Ongoing Directive Now grants special ammunition into any weapon, including the weapon currently equipped. Now grants special ammunition on any kill, not just weapon kills. True Patriot Decreased debuff cycle from 4 seconds to 2 seconds.

Loot Loot containers will now reset at a preset time of day.Control Point reward container will now also reset with this daily timer. Improved quality and quantity of Drone Helicopter loot. Slightly reduced the maximum available loot from Clan Caches. Cabinet loot containers now have a chance to contain Dark Zone keys.

Drone Helicopter Increased health. Increased damage. Improved movement. Decreased Outcast Suicide vest explosion radius Lowered NPC damage and health above normal difficulty. Increased variety of NPCs at higher difficulty levels. Recalibration Recalibration has been changed to allow for the majority of stats to be moved as they are, from one item to another, while making it less likely to reach the cap of the stat moved. To achieve this goal, we’re expressing the recalibrated power as a separate number, next to the gear score. As such, recalibration will no longer increase the gear score of the item. All existing recalibrated items will have their recalibrated additional gear score converted to the new format. Adjusted cost and ability to be recalibrated for Terminate Knee Cap Calculated Rewards XP from Bounties has been increased. All Settlement Weekly Projects now award blueprints. Added a new daily Crafting Project that awards blueprints. Increased the quality of Weekly Project equipment rewards.

    Invasion, The Division 2’s first major update was released last Friday, and with all the new features such as the Black Tusk’s Stronghold Tidal Basin and others that have been added as part of it, some bugs have unfortunately found their way into the game as well. While Projects have been re-enabled earlier this week on Monday already, The Division 2’s State of the Game episode #116 was focusing on the currently known issues and what the developers have in mind for future updates, including the comeback of a PTS and more contextual updates on decisions for a better understanding of why things are changing the way they do. Maintenance 11/04 Here are the patch notes of the maintenance from last Thursday, April 11th. Fixed not being able to fast travel to the Castle settlement. Fixed several cases of abnormal Bounty boss skill-use behaviour. Fixed an issue causing the Nemesis crafting materials to be unobtainable. Fixed Delta-03 error occurring at the end of Conflict matches. Fixed an issue that would cause the pathfinding line to behave abnormally when in close proximity to your destination. Fixed the “donating” sound playing repeatedly after having donated and abandoned a daily mission. Fixed an issue related to cache countdown timers. Title Update 2.1 Preview The next patch labeled as Title Update 2.1 is already in the works and will most likely be deployed next Thursday during the scheduled weekly server maintenance. In addition, the developers are also sharing their reasoning behind some of the design decisions that were recently made. For a detailed view on their perspectives, check out this official forum thread; otherwise, you can find a shortened list including those preliminary changes below. Crafting Bench Fix for the bench not upgrading to World Tier 5. Fixes the crafting benches that are stuck in different World Tiers. Characters getting stuck Still trying to reproduce this internally. Fix for players who are getting stuck in the revive animation. Revive Hive Improvements have been applied through TU2, Title Update 2.1 will fix some more issues with it. True Patriot Fix coming to address the two piece gear set bonus of True Patriot not working. Skill Mods Ability to craft blue Skill Mods to provide options for low Skill Power level builds. Enhancing effects of Skill Mods across the board. Balancing A large number of Talents will be overhauled. Scaling increase for defensive stats on gear items. Adjustments to lethality and TTK on the enemies for more viable build options. Known Issues There are some other topics as well that already led to larger conversations across social media channels. One of them is Henry Hayes, who doesn’t seem to be available for some players. Some of these occurrences have been resolved, but the problem investigation will continue in the future. A fix for the Worksite Community will be fixed with TU3, not earlier as it has been wrongly communicated before. Although the sometimes funny and spooky looking T-Poses of killed enemies/in the Bounty screens, the developers are working on a fix for this as they break the immersion of the game and can lead to players continue firing at them because they still seem to be alive. Also part of these discussions is gear with Gear Score below 500, underperforming Gear Sets and Exotic Weapons, the balancing of Talents, game difficulty in general (too aggressive enemy AI, armor and survivability, Control Points, etc.) as well as the PvP balance and inventory management. Future Adjustments Account-wide Blueprints, the consolidation of different reset timers into one single timer and making Projects more rewarding is planned to be addressed in the future. The developers have also mentioned upgrades for the Barber to allow Agents to change their sex, or to choose a Bald/Red colored hairstyle, but those things will not come anytime soon and will take some time. PTS for Title Update 3.0 The next big update for The Division 2 is Title Update 3.0, which is planned to be released on April 25th. Part of it will be the first 8-player raid “Operation Dark Hours” and other improvements to the game. To ensure a more stable release than the rollout of the first part of Invasion last week, the developers will provide a PTS, also known as Public Test Server, where players (PC only) can test the update’s contents (except for the raid itself) before it goes live to find eventual bugs or other balancing related issues. The past has already shown that gathering this player feedback early on gives the developers more freedom when pushing out updates and tweaking the experience on the fly within this test environment. The test servers will go live next Wednesday, April 17th. The post State of the Game: Known Issues, Patch v2.1 Preview and Public Test Server for Title Update 3.0 appeared first on The Division Zone.

    The Division 2 seems to be still suffering from similar Daily and Weekly Activity hiccups its predecessor had to deal with during the first month after launch, which why affected problematic Projects have been temporarily disabled for now for further investigation. In an attempt to fix an issue with the rewards of Daily and Weekly Projects by restarting the servers earlier this day, the developers, unfortunately, were not able to resolve the problem which why they have decided to disable them for the time being. The servers are already back up again. It’s unclear for how long they will be unavailable, but we will keep you posted once new updates are available. You can also follow this thread in the official forums for more information. The post The Division 2: Daily & Weekly Projects Disabled Due to Rewards Exploit appeared first on The Division Zone.

    The Division 2’s first part of the “Invasion: Battle for D.C.” Year 1 content update is now live, featuring World Tier 5, the new by the Black Tusk occupied Stronghold called Tidal Basin, Gear Sets, Exotics, a new PvP map, Apparel Event and more. Invasion unfolds the story of the battle for D.C. and is available for free for everyone. The 8-man raid “Operation Dark Hours” will follow on April 25th, including some of the Year 1 Pass‘ exclusive Classified Assignments, while players can expect a new Specialization #4 with a unique Signature Weapon to complete The Division 2’s first major update soon. With Invasion paving the way for more challenging encounters ahead, increasing the World Tier cap to level 5 and items that can now drop with a new maximum Gear Score of 500 are just one of the many initiatives that will follow. The highly requested Field of View slider and a dedicated sensitivity option when looking through scopes are also part of this update. So should adjustments to the Skill Mod requirements also retroactively allow players to equip more of them than before without having to fully commit to a Skill oriented build. Moreover, Weapon Mods requirements have been changed so that attributes are no longer causing stat decreases. With the Invaded Missions celebrating their comeback in WT5 in weekly mission rotations, the Black Tusk left their Stronghold exposed which allows the Division to breach and take it back. All Main Missions can now be played as an Invaded Mission as well. The first three Gear Sets have been added to the game, including Ongoing Directive, a very Status Effect oriented set which makes it perfect for Survivalists, True Patriot, which requires you to handle up to three debuffs and Hard Wired, a set that supports a Skill based playstyle with PvP specific bonuses. Two new Exotics have been added as well, featuring Pestilence, a Light Machine Gun, and Nemesis, a Designated Marksman Rifle. Last but not least, Fort McNair, a new map in The Division 2’s PvP Conflict mode. A fourth Specialization which shows an Agent carrying a portable minigun completes the Invasion update sometime soon. Here’s again an overview of the rollout plan of The Division 2’s first major content update Invasion. You can find the patch notes further down below. Patch Notes Weapons, Mods and Gear: Overhauled the Weapon mod system, see the table at the end of the patch notes for detailed information. Fixed a wrong long-range damage value for M4 (super 90) and P416. Previously, they could sometimes increase damage over longer ranges instead of the other way around. Rifles: Damage on the MK17 rifle reduced by 14%, also corrected this weapon not having a damage falloff over distance. LW M4 damage increased by 5%, RPM increased from 240 to 360. LVOA-C RPM increased from 240 to 380. Marksman RiflesModel 700 damage reduced by 13%. ShotgunsAA12 damage increased by 16%. LMGsMG5 damage increased by 12% and fixed reversed falloff, causing the weapon to do more damage over a longer range. Updated initial accuracy on the Sig Sniper MCmillan T1. It should now be much more reliable to shoot as soon as it’s shouldered and the transition to scoped view is over. Reduced the amount of Critical Damage and Headshot Damage that can roll on Gear, including the amount on existing Gear. The actual values will differ depending on the level and quality of the gear it occurs on. This is partially in preparation for another world tier, where we felt these values were already at the limit of what was healthy in WT4. Complete overhaul of skill mods to give more achievable requirements and more reasonable bonuses. A closer equivalence between required skill power and the bonuses granted. Changed the amount of skill power on gear to not increase exponentially with level, but instead more linearly. This results in most skill power values on gear being lower, but in accordance with the lowered requirements. Tweaked the ranges of bonuses to be within acceptable bounds where they had extreme values before due to scaling errors. Most notably radius and ammo/charges values. Players will see both the bonuses and the requirements of almost all skill mods change as a result of this overhaul. In end game, both Superior and High-End skill mods exist to cover the different needs of different builds. They can overlap in power, but High-End mods have a higher maximum roll potential. We are looking at ways to provide lower value/quality mods in end game world tiers in the future to provide a solution to the fact that on very low skill power builds, there would be room for those mods, and currently we are aware that means you have to save mods from your leveling experience. Player Skills: Fixed an issue which caused the Bombardier Drone to get destroyed while climbing up/down a ladder or rope. Improved feedback of Bombardier Drone crashing into obstacles during the bombing phase. Fixed an issue with Firefly payload sometimes failing to activate when reaching its target. Fixed an issue where Revive hive would not self-deploy if the agent was busy performing a different action such as using different skill when it triggered. Revamped the Sniper Turret version of the turret skill. It now will automatically target the hostile nearest to the players’ center-of-screen (the same method it uses to pick other turret targets) and will fire at that target when the button is pressed, without a lock-on order needed. If a player aims at a hostile, the sniper turret will attempt to match their aim, allowing precision shots using the sniper turret. An issue where the sniper turret wasn’t correctly getting bonus damage when hitting headshots has been fixed. Revamped the Chem launcher skill platform. Pressing the skill button will now equip the chem launcher similar to swapping to a weapon. The player can aim and shoot with normal weapon controls, as well as run with the skill and blindfire it. Quick deploy at the agents own position is still available for the repair version of the chem launcher, using the same controls as before. Unequipping the Chem launcher can be done using the skill button, the B (XBOX) / Circle (PS4) button or just using the weapon swap controls. Loot & Rewards: Control Point reward containers are giving the correct number of items for the corresponding Control Point’s defense level. Defense level 4 now awards 5 items instead of 3. Reduced DZ XP gain from Landmarks in Dark Zones. Reduced the quality and power for items dropped in Propaganda Broadcast and one drop of Settlement Blockade activities to be more in line with other open world enemies and activities. Updated XP rewards for low-level player playing in World Tiers to scale with player level. Supply Drop activity loot container items now scale with every consecutive container you open. This includes lowering the reward of the first crate, but results in similar rewards for the activity as a whole. Added 5 Specialized Apparel Cache Keys, awarded with levels 2 – 4.As a thank you for playing, all players that played before April 4 get 5 Specialized Apparel Keys, regardless of their level. Faction Key loot drops from Bounties are now guaranteed and are displayed in the loot preview. Adjusted bounty credit rewards to use scaling values in World Tiers instead of flat values so if a lower level player is playing with a higher-level player, they will receive an amount of credits more appropriate for their level. Changed Skill Unlock rewards to be non-invaded only so that players who co-op with a higher-level friend to play invaded before playing on story won’t receive the rewards. Added Apparel cache key fragments to the PvP reward caches. Adjusted the rewards for the street execution activity to give slightly lower quality/source level gear so the rewards are more in line with the difficulty of the activity. Reduced the quality and source level charts used for item drops from the living world activities settlement blockade and Propaganda broadcast to be more in line with other open world drops and the difficulty of the activities. Updated Collectibles set XP reward to scale with player level. Fixed an issue which caused the Drone Helicopter to not use the correct loot table. Crafting: Increased Material cap for Standard and Specialized crafting materials to 400 (with all perks). Increased Material cap for High-End crafting materials to 50. Materials required for crafting weapon mods does not scale as aggressively and has much lower values in endgame. Removed a small increase on materials required for crafting weapon mods after upgrading the crafting bench quality. Changed the upgrade blueprints for exotic weapons Lullaby and Ruthless to not show up on the vendor until you are level 30. Increased the power for the wandering vendor so her inventory has a narrower Gear Score range closer to the top of the World Tier Gear Score Range. Set all exotic upgrade blueprints to award you the upgraded weapon on the max gear score of the current tier. Removed a tiny increase on materials required for crafting weapon mods after upgrading the crafting bench quality. Exotic weapons are now pre-equipped with lore text mods. These mods do not have stats and cannot be equipped elsewhere. Talents: Blind Justice – Modified the Buff that increases damage to your next shot now expires at end of combat and when out of combat First Blood – Updated Normalized MMR Talent First Blood Text to correctly explain that the first shot after reloading from empty is the enhanced bullet. NPCs: Decreased damage of all NPC Automatic Shotguns Decreased damage of all NPC SMGs Hey agent! Staff in the Base of Operation will now shout at the player less frequently than before. Main Missions Difficulty: World Bank – Invaded – Server Room Increased the time which the Black Tusks needs to complete the download in the Server Room from 200 seconds to 250 seconds. Reduced the difficulty in the Server Room by setting the Enemy group composition to light, light, medium – Instead of medium, heavy, medium. DCD HeadquartersMission level has been changed from 17 to 18. Roosevelt Island – Invaded – Quarantine Docks Reduced the difficulty of the first wave of enemies encountered in the last beat of the mission by lowering the amount of Elite and Veteran enemies. Enemies in this part of the mission can only use mounted weapons if there are 2 players or more.This should make it less punishing for solo-players attempting this mission. Open World: Removed death of civilian squad as a failure condition for Control Point takeover.The Officer will now remain in downed state until players complete the takeover or wipe. Black Tusk presence has been increased in invaded Open World zones. New Ambusher NPCs now roam the streets of DC. Social: Added a “Friends & Clan” option for Call for Backup that only shows calls from friends and clan members. Added a “Do Not Disturb” group privacy option that blocks all incoming invites. PC Added a Field of View slider PlayStation 4 Fixed an issue that could cause players to be stuck in the Specialization tutorial Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue that could cause undesired appearance changes to agents after login in or using the barber.Players that have been permanently affected by an appearance change will unfortunately not be changed back with this fix. We want to apologize for any inconvenienced caused by this and we’re looking into options to allow players to fully customize their agent in the future, but we do not have a timeline for this feature. Fixed an issue where the Cluster Seeker Mine could split up more often than intended. Fixed an issue where the Defender Drone could have unlimited uptime. Fixed an issue which prevented players from finishing the Unite cypher riddle.We’re confident this is not bugged anymore. Fixed an issue that would cause the Stronghold activation animation to always play when entering the Base of Operations. Fixed several instances of Audio logs not playing automatically when picked up. Fixed an issue that could cause players being unable to finish the Side Mission Worksite Community. Fixed an issue where players were unable to update their crafting bench after reaching a new World Tier. Fixed an issue with NPCs sometimes not reacting properly to cooked grenades Fixed an issue with Hunters not always appropriately despawning if a player flees a combat space Fixed rare issue where NPCs could get stuck when attempting to melee a player in cover Fixed issue with the Explosive Seeker Mine occasionally failing to path to its target Fixed bug where players could fast travel to non-friendly Control Points Fixed bug that made encounters with friendly NPCs requesting resources too rare Fixed bug where underground enemies would come to the surface during the day Fixed an issue where players were able to obtain gear with a higher gear score than intended Any owned High-End items will be lowered to Gear Score 500. Any owned Superior items will be lowered to Gear Score 490. Clan caches no longer award items higher than the maximum loot Gear Score. Recalibration still allows Gear Score to increase slightly past the maximum loot Gear Score. Fixed a bunch of weird stairs and invisible walls.
