In The Division, update 1.6.1 is live. This causes frustration and disappointment among the agents.
Update 1.6.1 was intended as a quality update. This means it was supposed to fix some bugs, improve the balance, and make the agents’ lives more pleasant. However, looking at Reddit or the Ubi forums, the complete opposite is the case: The agents are furious and posting one complaint after another.
“Am I the only one who feels like nothing has been fixed at all?” asks an agent and receives dozens of upvotes. Another agent wants to know if the developers at Massive even test their fixes. He specifically refers to healing bugs that were supposed to be fixed. However, after only ten minutes of playing, he found that healing still had issues.
NinjaBike is still dropping
It has been reported particularly frequently in the last hours that the NinjaBike backpack is still dropping. This item is considered the worst exotic in the game – especially due to the new changes in update 1.6, it has become completely pointless. It is basically only good for dismantling, which is why Massive promised that it would be removed from the loot pool with 1.6.1.
However, players are still receiving it. Community Manager mattshotcha has already commented on this: Yes, the agents are right. It seems to still drop from bosses in the Dark Zone. The team is on it.
In the same post, he confirms that the changes to the extended magazines at level 34 are indeed retroactive. According to the patch notes, they are not supposed to be. Any good roll on old magazines is also supposed to be a good roll on the magazines in 1.6.1.
However, these are by no means all the problems and inconsistencies after 1.6.1. The forums are currently overflowing with user reports. Talents and grenades are bugged, the seeker mine is still too strong, status effects last too long, “fire bullets” are causing issues, NPCs are dealing too much damage, and there are also lags and stutters. Many reports are still awaiting confirmation.
Currently, the ETF for year 2 is running, which is why this week’s “State of the Game” is canceled. Therefore, detailed responses to all the complaints will have to wait a while longer.
