In The Division, Update 1.7 is approaching. You can prepare for it this weekend in an event.
Next week, on August 15, the global release of Update 1.7 will be on all platforms. So that you don’t rush blindly into your agents’ future, you can
- firstly read about the main new features of 1.7 here
- and secondly, grab double rewards at a weekend event now to quickly gather the necessary items for your future builds.
Postponed event is now taking place
Massive initially announced the weekend event with double rewards for last weekend, but it had to be postponed at short notice: to this weekend.
- It has been running since August 11 at 2 AM
- It ends on August 14 at 2 AM
During the event, there are double performance containers. This means that every time you fill the experience points bar, you immediately receive two loot boxes.
Prepare for 1.7 now
Since Update 1.7 does not introduce an increase in the Gear Score, your current items will not “age.” Only the gear set armor pieces will gradually be replaced by classified armor pieces. Therefore, it is no longer worth investing currencies and time in old gear sets.
The first classified gear sets are Lone Wolf, DeadEYE, and Final Measure. So now you can already think of creative builds around these sets and farm the necessary weapons and mods. Keep in mind that the classified items have higher values in the primary attributes (firearms, stamina, electronics) than the previous armor pieces, which is why you can use different mods, but your talents will still be unlocked.
