The update 1.7 brings some new content to The Division – including a long-awaited feature: A post-launch customization of the agent’s appearance.
The update 1.7 comes with some surprises. In addition to the three “big features”
there are further innovations that many agents have long wished for. It has recently been revealed: Massive is installing a Bathroom in the Terminal, where you can change the appearance of your agents.
A Bathroom for Character Customization
When you enter the terminal, you can immediately turn right after update 1.7, where you will reach a “Bathroom”, as Massive calls it. There you will find three mirrors and three sinks. Here’s a clip about it:
Information about the bathroom:
- Here you can retroactively adjust the appearance of your agents. Give them new hairstyles, new tattoos, scars, or glasses.
- These are the same customization options you have at the beginning of the game when you customize your character. No new options have been added.
- It costs no in-game currency to change appearance.
Face Masks and Encrypted Caches
Massive introduced two more innovations that come with update 1.7.
First, you will soon be able to equip your agent with “Face Masks”, which are masks that cover the entire face. These are cosmetic items for which there are no screenshots yet. They are said to be earnable through the Global Events. More information will follow in the coming weeks.
Secondly, you will soon be able to earn “Encrypted Caches” – meaning encrypted boxes. These will be available through the premium vendor in the terminal.
You can only open an encrypted box if you have a Cipher Key. You receive a Cipher Key by:
- collecting 10 key fragments and crafting a key with them. The fragments can be found in the game
- or purchasing a Cipher Key directly from the premium vendor for real money.
The encrypted boxes grant you a variety of cosmetic items. Each box contains three random items, such as backpack skins, weapon skins, or clothing. This way, you can get premium items without spending money.
The animation when opening such a box looks really cool:
