After a teaser for Taric was released a few days ago for League of Legends (LoL) , a comic now follows, which is about Taric and his changes.
The champ Taric has long been a candidate for a major overhaul in LoL; it looks like it will happen soon. However, at Riot, such announcements are not made via patch notes, but with in-game events.
The event surrounding the mountain “Targon” is now slowly moving into the decisive phase and deals extensively with Taric. A few days ago, RiotGames prepared the players of LoL for an imminent rework of Taric. The last teaser was about a ring. This time, it is said in the story that “everything will be different”.
An actor reveals how World of Warcraft almost cost him the role of a lifetime.
Superman still needed the loot
It is an old hat that raids and dungeons in MMORPGs often invite players to tune out their surroundings and focus entirely on the game. But what you could almost miss when you don’t answer the phone because the dungeon group needs help, is now shown by an amusing, prominent case.
Sometimes raiding is just more important than anything else – or?
Henry Cavill, who is currently seen in “Batman v Superman” as Superman, was asked on Conan O’Brien’s show how the first call went when he was offered the role. With a grin, Cavill replied, “I didn’t answer the phone,” and then continued: “I was playing World of Warcraft at the time. I knew where my priorities lay. (…) I was in a dungeon and it was a crucial part that I had to get through.”
As soon as the danger (probably a boss fight) was overcome, he reached for the still ringing phone receiver… but it was too late. Luckily, this could be quickly clarified with a return call, where he (more or less truthfully) announced, “Sorry, but I just had to save someone’s life.”

In the shared-world shooter The Division, maintenance will take place on April 5th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The servers will be unavailable.
On April 5th, the weekly maintenance will occur. As Ubisoft Massive announced via Twitter, the servers will also be unavailable this week from 9 AM for approximately three hours. If everything goes according to plan, you can dive back into the post-apocalypse at noon.
We will perform our weekly server maintenance on Tuesday, 9am CEST/8am BST/3am EDT/12am PDT. Downtime ~ 3 hours >> https://t.co/TZuf7lxCI6
So far, there is no information on whether changes will be made that will affect gameplay for the agents. A possible patch has not been announced. Presumably, the developers are just tinkering behind the scenes with the servers.
Update: There will be no changes this week, as Massive has announced via Twitter.
12 PM: The servers should now be back live.
During the maintenance, the developers are holding a livestream via Twitch, the State of the Game. If any interesting information is announced in this report, we will report on it promptly.
Are you looking for reading material for the time during the maintenance? In our The Division guide collection, you will surely find something.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , community videos have been crowned. This time, they are aesthetically compelling.
Next week, the patch for Destiny comes, and on Tuesday, April 12th, it will be here. The patch reflects the artist’s hand: This time, much value is placed on aesthetics. We will see armor dyes, special armors, and Taken ships – a lot of cosmetics to delight the eye.
This desire for beauty is also evident in the videos of the week. The video of the week is this one:

In The Division, there are still some unresolved questions. The YouTubers from the channel DefendTheHouse investigate some myths and either confirm or debunk them – very much in the style of Mythbusters.
The YouTubers DefendTheHouse are known for their “Mythbusters series,” in which they delve into myths from various games. In a new video, they aim to explore questions about The Division that some agents may have pondered but haven’t had the time to verify.

These myths are investigated by the Mythbusters in The Division
Can you kill Larae Barrett in the “Lexington Event Center” mission before she runs away? Answer: Yes, you can. However, the mission cannot be completed afterward.
Can you fast travel from the Dark Zone? Answer: Yes, but only at a specific location in the Dark Zone. You can see this in the video starting at 1:05.
Can you enter the Operations Base faster with the Survival Link activated? This individual ability increases movement speed. Answer: No, you cannot. This myth is debunked. Tip: To avoid having to walk the entire way slowly, you can dash into the entrance of the Operations Base. This saves you some time.
Can you heal yourself with First Aid twice? Answer: Yes, you can. Shoot it on the ground in front of you and run into it multiple times.
Can you revive yourself with the Defibrillator mod of the “First Aid” skill? Answer: No, you cannot. Myth debunked.
Can a rogue agent heal a non-hostile agent? Answer: Normally not. However, it seems that you can heal them as a rogue if you are not in combat for about 10 seconds. You best see this yourself in the video above.
The latest letter from the producer to the players of Devilian reveals what will change in the coming weeks. Changes to PvP are planned to reduce waiting times, along with new spring events and the introduction of megaservers.
Megaservers in Devilian – Servers will be merged as soon as possible
One of the biggest changes coming to players in the next few weeks and months is the introduction of megaservers. The existing servers will be merged, creating only one server for America and one for Europe. As is typical for servers of this kind, they can fluidly open new channels and instances as soon as the population in a specific area becomes too large.
Devilian will soon introduce megaservers – all Europeans will then be in one world.
There is no specific date for this yet, but efforts are being made to have the megaservers introduced “before the next increase in the level cap.” At the same time, it is emphasized that the transfer will only be undertaken when it is certain that there will be no complications and that the players’ character data is completely safe. There is still a lot of work “behind the scenes” that must be completed first.
PvP in Devilian – Less choice, earlier access
The current PvP in Devilian is still somewhat unsatisfactory. There are long waiting times as players are split into different groups depending on which PvP content they are actually interested in. To reduce this, there will be a change to the 6vs6 map “Depraved Temple”. This will become a weekly event and it will no longer be possible to queue up through the waiting list.
At the same time, the requirement to participate in the 20vs20 battles has been lowered, allowing players to join starting at level 25. Since characters with a low level are boosted in PvP, there should be no worries about being helplessly outmatched.
Spring Events and Demonic Imps
In spring, a new event is set to unfold that continues the love story between Antwan and Belle. Those who agree to help Antwan with his romantic troubles will be rewarded with special costumes – from revealing to silly, there should be something for everyone.
Also new is the ability to combine pet skills at will, allowing players to quickly create their favorite companion. It is supposed to be very easy, but will also be explained in a preview video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHI9p7Y2Rog
Finally, the demonic imps that can appear all over the world are mentioned. These little monsters carry a lot of gold and items, but players only have a few seconds to defeat them. If they fail, they explode and take all the valuable loot with them to the afterlife – quick action is required.

The Game Director talks about the future of Overwatch and how it might eventually come to PvE content.
PvE in Overwatch – A case for Overwatch 2 or another game?
Although the hero shooter Overwatch has not even been released yet, Blizzard is already considering how the new franchise can move forward. The Game Director Jeff Kaplan revealed in an interview with Gameinformer that Overwatch could also focus on PvE content in the future – although not necessarily in the same game.
They plan to work properly on the “player vs. AI” mode for the shooter to reach a similar level as seen in Heroes of the Storm. There, players can queue individually or as a group to engage in some battles against computer-controlled enemies (bots).
But Kaplan reveals even more, weaving the story a little into the future, as the team is indeed interested in developing other content that players can face together.
“The idea of developing PvE content for Overwatch appeals to the developers, and we are eagerly waiting for an opportunity to do that. But whether that will be in the next Overwatch game or even in a completely different genre is still uncertain. We all really want to create PvE, but not in this game, not for the original offering of Overwatch, which is entirely focused on team-based hero action. It’s something we want to tackle eventually in another game.”
Either way, it seems that with Overwatch and the game’s world, there is still a long way to go.
Mein-MMO says: That the world of Overwatch definitely has potential for exciting stories can be seen not least in the captivating cinematics that have been released so far:
Whether it’s an action RPG, strategy title, or a shooter with a campaign, the world of Overwatch is already so rich and well thought out that there are seemingly endless possibilities to develop games and storylines from it. We are definitely looking forward to seeing that come to fruition in the coming years.

For newcomers to the raid scenario, the Free2Play MMORPG Rift will soon have a “Beginner Mode” with massive simplifications.
“The Comet of Ahnket” introduces Beginner Mode for Raids
The transition from regular group instances to raids is often a painful experience for many players. Either they feel their performance is too poor, don’t know the various bosses well enough, or simply feel unsure if they are up to these difficult challenges.
These concerns lead many players to avoid trying raids altogether and turn their backs on these gameplay elements.
With the next major patch, Rift will introduce the new raid instance “The Comet of Ahnket”, which consists of a total of 6 encounters – 4 bosses and 2 minibosses. In addition to the usual difficulty levels “Easy”, “Normal”, and “Hard”, there will also be a 4th one, the “Universal Introduction Mode” or the introduction mode.
Increasing Chances through Stackable Buff
In particular, two things are supposed to make these encounters easier for newcomers. First, all players will receive 1600 hit rating points, significantly reducing the chance to miss attacks. Second, there is a powerful buff that makes the encounters progressively easier over time. The “Ascended Odds!” buff ensures that players in the raid gradually become stronger.
Every 30 seconds they are in combat with a boss, dealt damage, healing, and HP increase by 2%. This means players gradually become stronger the longer they are engaged in a boss fight. The stacks of the buff are only removed when the fight is won, the difficulty of the raid changes, or the instance is reset.
Whether this beginner mode will make it beyond the test realm is yet to be determined. So far, it’s just an experiment to see if it feels “smooth” and achieves the desired result of motivating more players to raid.
World of Warcraft has a very similar principle in its “Looking For Raid” mode (LFR), where each defeat increases the group’s damage and healing by 5%. Among hardcore players, such mechanics are often disparagingly referred to as “loser buff”.

In The Division, there are items that exceed the “maximum level” of 30. We take a look at the Level 31 items.
In the endgame of The Division, it’s all about improving and upgrading the agents’ weapons and armor. The max level of your Division agents is 30; a higher level cannot currently be reached. However, there are items in the game that exceed this level 30 limit.
How do I recognize a Level 31 item in The Division?
That level 30 can be exceeded in The Division should be clear to all agents who have encountered enemies in the endgame, for instance in the northern part of the Dark Zone or in Challenge Mode: These NPCs can even reach level 32. There are also items for Division agents that are above level 30.
What actual level your items have is a bit hidden; it is not displayed directly when you select an item. The number shown in large on the top right of the screen, which can currently reach a maximum of 30, can be misleading:
To find the actual level of your items, you must scroll down on the item. Only there will the “Item Level” be displayed, or for blueprints, the “Power Level”. Below that is the required level that your agent needs to equip the item. This is currently a maximum of 30, and that number is what is displayed at the top right as “Level”.
How to get Level 31 items in The Division
There are various ways to acquire Level 31 items. Especially the Phoenix Credits play an important role:
There is a Phoenix Credits vendor in the Dark Zone and one in the Operations Base. The items and blueprints these vendors sell grant you Level 31 items. The items from most other vendors are at most “only” level 30.
A notable exception is the Advanced Weapons Vendor in the Security Wing of the Operations Base. He also sells Level 31 items, such as the high-end weapon Cassidy. He gives them to you in exchange for credits.
In the Dark Zone, there is a chance for these high-level items if you defeat enemies at level 31 or 32. However, obtaining high-ends at level 31 this way is extremely tedious and inefficient. The chances of such a drop are very low. By
As a preview of Patch 6.7 for the MOBA League of Legends (LoL), players can already check out the 3 new legendary skins on the test servers.
Days ago, developer Riot Games drew attention with a special teaser indicating that a new “mechanical” themed skin for one of the League of Legends champions will be coming soon. It quickly became clear that this pertains to Sion. Additionally, other skins have been uploaded for testing on the LoL beta servers. Furthermore, a comprehensive overhaul of many (older) champion splash arts is underway.
Mecha Zero Sion – Choo Choo, here comes the LoL train
Original: Surrenderat20
Not only die-hard Sion fans are excited about this new skin from the creative minds of the Riot Games design team. This skin literally transforms Sion into a train when he uses his ultimate ability. His abilities have been reworked, he has a new voice, and even a new animation when he teleports back to base. Mecha Zero Sion currently costs 1820 Riot Points on the PBE servers – the price may still change.

The last skin for the Ice Sorceress was released about 2 years ago. Now she is set to receive a “Program” themed skin that basically transforms her into a robot. A new champion model with new textures and a new animation for recalling to base. This skin currently costs 1350 Riot Points. As with Sion, this price is not final.

The price for this skin for Soraka is also not final – currently, it stands at 1350 Riot Points.

The graphics of various champions differ significantly across different regions. The developers at Riot Games believe that players should not have such strong visual differences for the champions, as it can evoke a different perception of these champions. The splash arts of each champion, which players see during champion selection and on the loading screen, are expected to look more uniform (across various regions) in the future.
To give you an overview of these new champion splash arts in League of Legends, there are 2 huge image albums on Imgur.
In Black Desert , there was an April Fools’ joke at Blizzard’s expense.
On April 1st, Daum announced that with the latest expansion Mediah, a victory pose will be introduced in the new battlefield that came with the Mediah expansion. This special “Butt Pose Victory Animation” will have the victorious hero strike a pose that emphasizes their backside. This will be available for every class, regardless of gender.
This is clearly a reference to the “mini-scandal” surrounding Overwatch. Blizzard had responded to fan protests and removed a “too provocative” pose of the heroine Tracer. She was showcasing her backside in an outfit that now closely resembles a Black Desert character.
Weapons play an important role in the upcoming MMO shooter Escape from Tarkov. New videos now showcase some weapon mods and equipment.
It is known from MMORPGs: You can customize your armor. A plate armor, leather greaves for the legs, and a chain coif. This is also possible in Escape from Tarkov. There are various clothing options such as jackets, pants, shoes, or caps. The material of the clothing even plays a role. Those who wear a soft cotton jacket will see how it behaves differently due to movement compared to a harder leather jacket. While this does not have any gameplay effects, it aims to immerse you even deeper into the simulation of a world.
Escape from Tarkov: New Hardcore Shooter Appears Extremely Detailed
As for weapons, you will be able to modify them in various ways. In principle, it is possible to completely disassemble a weapon and replace its individual parts to create new weapons. This way, you can meet another player who carries a weapon that completely differs from yours. However, it turns out that both of your weapons are based on the same base weapon.

Additionally, two new sniper rifles have been integrated into the shooter. The original weapons were photographed, and based on those photographs, 3D models were created that closely resemble the originals. The developers of Escape from Tarkov visited the manufacturer of the weapons, and they were even able to try them out and record the sounds made by the rifles.
Based on concept drawings, areas were presented where you can also find vehicles. These can later be driven as well. As you can see, the developers of the MMO shooter Escape from Tarkov really place an enormous emphasis on the smallest details of their game.

Space stations play an important role in the MMO Star Citizen. The developers have now talked about what one can expect from these.
If you log out of Star Citizen, you will awaken in the space base Port Olisar during your next login, as long as you are too far away from your own hangar. In Port Olisar, there are rooms that can be rented, and there will soon be businesses where certain items can be purchased. Weapons are prohibited on the station, which is currently enforced by simply not allowing players to draw their weapons. Later, security forces and turrets will come into play to ensure that there are no fights on Port Olisar.
Own a space station
The developers of Star Citizen have considered whether players should even be able to destroy the station. However, they decided against it, as this would cause too many problems. In a universe where everything could be destroyed, everything would likely be destroyed shortly after launch, they believe. And one must prioritize fun above all.
Instead, they are considering whether players could own their own stations and determine aspects such as taxes or gravity conditions there. They haven’t discussed the possible costs of owning a space station yet.
Plan a prison break
There are also plans to expand the legal system. One idea is to have a space station for renegades and criminals. A pirate base where you wake up after logging in when you are in conflict with the law. Additionally, there are plans for a prison station. If caught committing crimes, a player goes to jail and must serve their sentence – unless friends attempt to break them out of prison.
Currently, work is being done on update 2.4.0 of the MMO Star Citizen, which will introduce customization options for heroes through clothing.

In Destiny, you can create builds by skillfully combining your focuses, weapons, and armor. Nexxoss Gaming presents his build “The Charged Warlock”.
The YouTuber Nexxos Gaming presents a Warlock build in a video, which should be particularly effective in the Crucible. For this, he introduces his focus, the weapons and armor that he combines in such a way that synergy effects arise.
This is the build “The Charged Warlock” in Destiny
“The Charged Warlock” is a combination of the Stormcaller focus, the Tlaloc, and various perks. According to Nexxoss, this build is particularly useful in PvP in the Control mode. The build is showcased in the following video:

Destiny: Adjust your focus to Stormcaller for this Warlock build
For the “Charged Warlock,” you need to choose the Warlock focus Stormcaller. The focus nodes are designed to charge the super quickly and use it effectively:
Take the Storm Grenade, which “unleashes a targeted storm.” It is important for this build that you hit your enemies with the grenade – eliminating opponents is secondary.
Also choose Superconductor, which doubles the chain ability of your Storm trance. This allows you to kill enemies more efficiently when they are close together, as is often the case in Control mode. You can also achieve double kills more easily, which will be significant for this build.
For the melee attack, rely on Gathering Storm: Hits with the Thunderstrike charge the super, ability, and melee energy. Since this build specializes in super attacks, this focus perk will help you.
Importantly, the focus node Transcendence: With full grenade and melee energy, Storm trance fully restores your health and drains more slowly. This allows you to extend the duration of your super and thus deal devastating damage for longer.
You should also select the Electrostatic Surge for the “Charged Warlock”: Storm trance charges faster when allies are nearby. When Storm trance is active, nearby enemies take damage. These advantages come into play especially in Control mode.
The importance of these focus nodes will become apparent in the following sections.
Want to make an impact in the Crucible? Take these weapons for the “Charged Warlock”
The reason you should charge the super as quickly as possible is also tied to the choice of weapons for this build:
Tlaloc: The exotic scout rifle Tlaloc and the Stormcaller focus complement each other. These weapon perks favor the “Charged Warlock”:
Grenadier: Kills with this weapon reduce the cooldown of your grenade. This perk is combined with the armor perk From the Ashes, more on that shortly.
Overflow: This is the significant perk of this weapon and this build: The weapon has improved handling, rate of fire, and stability when the holder’s super is charged. The build ensures that the super is charged quickly to take advantage of the Tlaloc. When this perk is active, according to Nexxoss, the Tlaloc becomes a “super weapon”.
As a secondary weapon, Nexxoss recommends a shotgun to have a weapon for close combat. The Tlaloc is more suitable for enemies at a distance. He personally uses the Conspiracy Theory-D. In Control mode, the YouTuber likes to use a machine gun as a heavy weapon, here he takes the Tormented Terminus by Qullim.
Select these armor perks for the Warlock PvP build
In general, you should use items that increase Intellect (for the super) and Discipline (for grenades).
Pay attention to these perks on the armor pieces:
From the Ashes: Hitting grenades gives you bonus super energy. This helps you recharge the super quickly after use. Combined with the perk Grenadier from the Tlaloc and the Storm Grenade, which allows for easy hits, fruitful synergy effects arise. “From the Ashes” can be found, for example, on the helmet “Iron Camelot Hood”.
Lightning Rod: The perk unlocks the Stormcaller focus node Landfall for free: When you activate Storm trance, you strike a lightning bolt into the ground, generating a devastating shockwave beneath you. This makes your super even more powerful. You can find this perk on the exotic gauntlets “The Impossible Machines”.
Earthly Medicine: Grants you a boost for recovery per grenade kill. This is stackable for 20 seconds. Since the grenade is important in this build – it charges quickly and grants super energy – it is useful to gain additional recovery through grenades. You can find this perk, for example, on the chest piece “Tormented Chasm of Yuul”.
Arc Double Kill: After an Arc double kill, agility increases for 5 seconds. With the selected focus node Superconductor, you achieve double kills more frequently with your Storm trance, which increases agility. Thus, you can rush through the Crucible faster and hunt Guardians with your active super. You can find this perk, for example, on the leg armor “Winged Sun Boots”.
This is what “the Charged Warlock” can do in Destiny
The focus, the Tlaloc, and the advantages of the armor items harmonize with each other, allowing you to score in the Crucible, especially in Control mode.
The build is designed to charge the grenades and super as quickly as possible to use the strengths of the Tlaloc. When the right moment arises and you encounter multiple Guardians in close quarters, you can effectively utilize the super attack.
“The Charged Warlock” combines the strengths of the Stormcaller with those of the Tlaloc. How this build performs in practice is shown to you by Nexxoss in the following video:

According to Nexxoss, however, one problem with this build is that it takes a while to fully charge the super in order to utilize its advantages. “The Charged Warlock” has to charge up first.

In Hearthstone, the release date for Whispers of the Old Gods is becoming clear.
A system message has now revealed the release date for the Hearthstone expansion. It strongly looks like it’s going to be April 26. This fits well within the time frame: The expansion to Hearthstone was announced for “late April, early May”.
Those who buy the Naxxramas bundle in the shop at the moment receive a warning that they will not be able to use these cards in the Standard format from April 26, but only in the Wild format.
The expansion will bring 143 new cards that will be available through a new pack. Blizzard has already introduced numerous new cards in Hearthstone over the past few weeks or had them presented by the community, like Ragnaros in the “good” version or the old god Y’Shaarj.

A streamer has pulled it off and brought a character in WoW to level 100 using the dance pad.
/Dance until dawn
Do you remember? About 3 weeks ago we reported on a streamer who set out to play World of Warcraft in a rather strange way. Instead of leveling his character the old-fashioned way using keyboard and mouse like the rest of the gaming population, streamer Rudeism grabbed two dance mats and brought his character to level 100. In the style of a “drunken master,” he navigated his troll monk through quest areas, dungeons, and even raids. While other players initially rolled their eyes, over time he met more and more players who willingly helped him.

The “feat” took place over several weeks, but he only needed a total playtime of 5 days, 11 hours, and 48 minutes.
However, Rudeism is not yet seeing an end to his dance adventures. He also wants to impose other restrictions on himself for other games, planning to play Undertale with the dance mat and Heroes of the Storm with a guitar controller.
At least the action had a small benefit. During the Dancepad Challenge, the follower count on his Twitch channel more than tripled to 3,740 followers.
In line with this, Blizzard has now released a “Coming Soon” video, showcasing the cheerful time-jumper in action and especially highlighting her various skins.

You could already take a first look at Tracer’s abilities, which essentially correspond to the abilities from Overwatch:
Unlike other characters, Tracer can attack while running and consumes ammunition, which can be manually reloaded via the property or automatically activates once the ammunition is depleted.
With Blink, Tracer can quickly move across the battlefield and teleport small distances. The ability has 3 charges.
Melee is, as the name suggests, a close combat attack that deals damage to a single target and selects the next target. Hitting heroes increases the charge of the Pulse Bomb more than hitting minions.
With Recall, Tracer can rewind time and travels to the point where she was 3 seconds ago. Her weapons are reloaded, and negative status effects are removed. Unlike in Overwatch, her health points are not restored.
The heroic ability Pulse Bomb is thrown at a target and causes area damage. If only a single target is hit, the damage is doubled. This ability has no cooldown, but is charged by damage dealt.
When is Tracer coming to HotS?
According to Blizzard US, Tracer will be available on April 19 for everyone who pre-ordered an Overwatch: Origins Edition for PC – in Europe, this could typically be a day later.
A week later, she will be available for purchase in the Nexus of Heroes of the Storm.
Anyone planning to get an Origins Edition for PS4 or Xbox One will receive their Tracer when Overwatch launches on May 24.
Widowmaker, the sexy sniper from Overwatch, has received her own short film “Alive”. Watch it here in German!
A short while ago, the second animated short video for Overwatch was released. The 6-minute film titled “Alive” showcases Widowmaker’s backstory and explains why she and Tracer have such a massive problem with each other.
In a world where omnics (robots) and humans live as equals, Widowmaker has a crucial mission. She has a very special target for assassination. However, the mission proves difficult, as Tracer coincidentally is on the scene. To see how it all plays out, you should watch it for yourself. We have the short film in German for you.
In any case, Blizzard has succeeded in generating excitement for over 6 minutes and breathing more life into the otherwise “cold” shooter world of Overwatch. A cinematic that is unparalleled.
The open alpha for the turn-based strategy MOBA Atlas Reactor is running. Anyone can join for free!
A Turn-Based Strategy MOBA: Atlas Reactor
One might assume that the genre of MOBAs and “heroes brawlers” is getting stale, yet developers continue to come up with fresh ideas. Fans describe the game “Atlas Reactor” by Trion Worlds as a mix between X-Com and MOBA, as the game proceeds in a turn-based manner.
All players decide how they want to act with their character. Should the character be moved? Should I shoot at a specific enemy? Should I use an ability? All of this is decided in the planning phase by all players simultaneously and then handled in turn. This gives the game a very deep tactical component, while also catering to those who find the hectic pace of many action titles unappealing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu7i1ldlfNw
Since March 31, the game is now in an open alpha as an event, allowing all interested parties a first look at the unusual game mechanics. Here is the direct sign-up link. It seems that access will not be available for long. A closed beta is set to start on April 14.
Those who get excited about the game can now invest real money into it to secure one of the founder packs. There are a total of 4 different packs for $10, $25, $60, or $100. As is customary with founder packs, there are numerous skins and characters that are unlocked directly, which would otherwise need to be earned through in-game currency.
We show you how to quickly reach Max Level 30 in The Division and provide information about the leveling system.
Many agents want to reach Max Level 30 in Ubisoft’s MMO shooter as quickly as possible to play the endgame content of the game. The upcoming incursions in The Division can only be played once the agent has reached the highest level. With the following tips, you can efficiently farm experience points to level up quickly.
How many XP do I need to reach Max Level 30?
First, the question arises as to how many experience points your agents need to level up and eventually reach Max Level. There is a formula that you can apply for each level to calculate the required XP. It is as follows:
If you are, for example, at Level 4, you calculate:
1500 + (300 x 4) + 450 x (4)^2, resulting in 9900. That’s how many experience points you need to level up from Level 4 to Level 5.
If you calculate the experience points for the individual levels and add them together, you come to a total of 4,023,750 XP.
To reach Max Level 30, you need a total of 4,023,750 XP.
How do I efficiently farm XP in The Division?
To quickly gain this amount of experience points, there is initially only one way: missions.
Let’s take the following example: you need 9900 XP to level up from Level 4 to Level 5.
If you complete the Level 4 mission “Madison Field Hospital”, you will receive 4400 XP as a mission reward, which is 44.4% of the required experience points to level up.
To level up from Level 5 to 6, you need 14250 XP. When you complete the Level 5 mission where you unlock the security wing, you receive 6350 XP as a completion reward. This is 44.7% of the required experience points to reach Level 6.
As you can see, it is advisable to play the missions quickly to gain a lot of XP. The problem, however, is that each mission only allows you to earn experience points once upon completion. Therefore, you cannot replay the missions to farm XP that way.
By the way: If you play the missions on Hard mode, the XP you earn for completing them remains the same. It is therefore more efficient to play them on “normal” since you receive the same XP for less effort. Killing enemies in Hard mode grants you more XP, but these additional points are so minimal that it hardly pays off.
Once the missions are played on “normal”, what other options are there to level up quickly?
You can also earn many experience points by completing “fights”, which are displayed on the map as you approach them or when you look at the maps in the safehouses. These are usually completed within a few minutes and yield a good amount of XP. However, these can only be completed once.
General tips for quickly gaining XP:
Make sure to unlock the “Experienced Agent” advantage in the security wing early in the game. This increases XP gain from all activities by 10% – and that forever!
You can modify and improve your items to grant you additional XP, for example through headshot kills. Once you have reached Max Level, you should focus on other bonuses.
If you find collectibles or encounter the needy, collect them or help the people. Although this only grants a few extra XP, it doesn’t take long.
What is not worth it to farm XP?
To specifically farm XP, it is not worth running through completed missions and killing enemies. Killing enemies alone takes a long time to reach Max Level. Instead, focus on activities that provide completion rewards in the form of XP.
The Dark Zone: In the Dark Zone, you do not gain experience points to reach Max Level. Here, you only gain DZ experience. If you want to reach Level 30 as quickly as possible, you should initially avoid the Dark Zone.
