It doesn’t feel like that long ago that we were here talking about a new update to Ubisoft’s The Division 2, and yet, here we are once more with another update coming in fast and furious. Ubisoft announced today via press release that Title Update 10 will hit on June 16, ahead of the launch of Season 2 on June 23, bringing with it a new raid and fixes to loot generosity. Ubisoft says “In advance of Season 2, core changes and improved balancing will be introduced. These changes were tested on the game’s Public Test Server, which gathered feedback from players, allowing the dev team to finetune gameplay and deliver on community requested improvements in key areas.”
The major fixes of note coming on June 16 are as follows:
- Player Power
- Increased damage for nearly all weapons, including exotics
- Gearset improvements
- Brand set improvements
- Loot Generosity
- Increased overall loot quality
- Improved loot quality scaling with difficulty
- Improved quality of crafted items
- Improved vendor stocks
- Fixes and balancing
- Major balancing pass
- Large amount of bug fixes
Meanwhile, the Season 2 content will be the start of a three-month long, narrative-driven campaign that will continue stories started in the Warlords of New York expansion. “Much like Season 1, Season 2 will give players the chance to unlock unique rewards, including two new exotics, a skill variant, and a gearset. Players with the Warlords of New York expansion can play Season 2 for free and can purchase a Season 2 Pass to earn additional rewards for their progression. The Pass also offers more opportunities to unlock Season specific gear and exclusive vanity items such as a unique Season outfit. Players have until June 15 to complete Season 1 before Season 2 kicks off June 23.” It’s unclear what the week period between the two seasons will be for and why Season 1 doesn’t extend to the Season 2 start date.
The Division 2 is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia (with crossplay to PC) and the update will launch on June 16, providing even more opportunities to go shooty-pew with your friends.
