With the announcement of The Division 2, a year 3 for the predecessor was also announced. As part of this third year, the Shields will also be introduced. They were finally showcased at E3.
Finally, we know more! While the majority of the attention is on The Division 2, many agents are still interested in news about the first part, The Division. Fans were probably most looking forward to news about the Shield Achievements.
These were highlighted during the E3 special of Inside Xbox, and a timeline was also presented.
All information about the Shields in The Division
What are Shields anyway? Shields are new achievements that allow you to unlock certain rewards for The Division 2. A total of 12 of these Shields will be coming throughout the year.
When are the Shields coming? The first 4 Shields will come with the new patch 1.8.2 on June 14, 2018. After that, a new Shield should be released every month until the release of The Division 2.
These rewards await you: Initially, you will receive simple rewards like currencies and collectibles. Objects with story elements are also expected to be included as rewards.
Many Shields, more for The Division 2
What do I get in The Division 2? The more you unlock these Shields, the greater the rewards will be in The Division 2. Unfortunately, we still do not know what these rewards might look like.
You can still make a few trips to wintery New York. In The Division 2, that will no longer be possible, as the sequel will take place in sunny Washington D.C. We still have to wait until March 15, 2019, for the release. The Shields can therefore serve as a pastime.
All info about The Division 2 can be found here in our E3 HUB.
