The Division 2 brings many innovations to the game with the major Title Update 6, and the developers are working on several game mechanics. The clothing boxes are also not spared, and the system with clothing fragments is being removed from the game. With a little trick, there are a few extra boxes available at the start of the new update.
How do the clothing boxes of The Division 2 work? Like almost every major online game that prides itself, The Division 2 offers a lot of items for customizing the character. Scarves, pilot caps, flip-flops, but also weapon skins, patches, and a lot of camouflage are available to the agents.
Farming fragments and crafting boxes
In addition to special clothing events that bring special and more or less themed “cosmetics” into the game, like the current “Explorer Event”, players receive new clothes through craftable clothing boxes.
To craft these boxes, agents regularly earn box fragments through field expertise – the leveling up in Division 2. With these fragments, two different clothing containers can be crafted.
- 100 fragments: Specialized Clothing Box
- 250 fragments: Superior Clothing Box
Like weapons, “cosmetics” are also classified into rarity tiers and the 250-fragment boxes offer better chances for a rarer clothing piece.
Clothing fragments are being removed from the game
What changes with the next update? The clothing fragments will completely disappear from the game with Title Update 6. This will also change the way these standard boxes can be obtained. The developers want to make the system more transparent.
Previously, it was necessary to craft the boxes. Massive completely removes this intermediate step from the game and gives agents a chance to receive clothing boxes upon leveling up. Additionally, there will be only one type of standard clothing boxes.
Here are the new boxes with TU6
- Field Expertise
- Dark Zone Expertise
- Conflict Matches
The loot pool, i.e., the number of items that can be drawn with the new boxes, has also been reduced and will have a rotation. What the rotation looks like is not yet known. However, we already know that the loot pool will be reduced to nearly 100 items.
What happens now to my fragments? The developers do not want to take any fragments or boxes away from the agents with the system change and will convert existing clothing currency into the new boxes.
This is what you get for your fragments and boxes
- 100 fragments give one new box
- The remaining fragments will be rounded up
- for example, for 101 fragments you then receive 2 boxes
- Specialized boxes (100 fragments) give one new box
- Superior boxes (250 fragments) give 3 new boxes
- High-End boxes give 5 new
boxes
- These boxes can be obtained through actions or through the Ubisoft Club
To upgrade your old stock, you don’t need to do anything other than log into the game after TU6. The conversion happens automatically.
How should I best use my fragments now? Many agents have hoarded a bunch of these fragments. With the shift to the new system, however, the fragments should now also be put back into circulation.
You get 3 new boxes for the “Superior Clothing Containers” with the update, for which you would actually need 300 fragments. However, if you first get the superior boxes from your fragments, you’ll get 3 boxes for 250 fragments.
Buy superior boxes!
So after the launch of Title Update 6, to be able to rummage properly in the new “cosmetics” pool, buy the “Superior Clothing Containers” quickly before TU6 starts.
What other changes do the new expansions bring? Besides TU6, which turns many game mechanics upside down, the next content DLC “Episode 2” has also been announced for mid-October. Check here for info about the upcoming upheaval of The Division 2:
