Today, there have been maintenance works on The Division 2 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The servers were offline for about 3 hours. Now, there is another downtime. Why? Find out all the important details about today’s schedule and the patch notes here.
Update 18:39: Massive has announced that the servers will go offline at 18:45. This should take about 30 minutes.
The Division 2 can be played again at 19:15, if everything goes according to plan.
Massive apparently aims to fix an EXP exploit with the maintenance and address other issues.

Update 14:10: As Massive just announced again via Twitter, the second maintenance has been postponed from 14:15 to a later time today as they are testing further fixes that are targeted to go live before the upcoming weekend.
Update 13:45: As Massive stated on Twitter, there will be another downtime today – specifically at 14:15 German time.
The reason for this is a severe XP glitch, which allowed players to farm massive amounts of experience points and top-items during target exercises in Washington without much effort. This was not intended.
The second downtime is expected to last approximately 30 minutes today. The servers should be back online around 14:45.
What is the maintenance about? With the release of the “Warlords of New York” expansion and Title Update 8, not only many innovations and fresh content came into the game – many annoying bugs also crept in.
While the most serious ones were quickly resolved after initial difficulties with the Warlords launch, today further bugs are to be addressed.
Everything about maintenance and downtime in The Division 2 on March 6
Here are the important times: On Twitter, Massive announced the official schedule for today:
- The maintenance works will start at 9:30 German time
- This also marks the beginning of the downtime. The servers will be offline and you will not be able to enter the game
- The maintenance is expected to last about 3 hours, so you can forget about playing in the morning. However, in the last update, Massive finished one hour early. Let’s see, maybe it will work today too
- If everything goes according to plan, the servers will be back online around 12:30. Then the maintenance will also be completed
What changes today? These are the patch notes: The patch notes or maintenance notes, as Massive calls them, are also already available.
And it looks like today numerous annoying problems will finally be addressed, which many players have been suffering from since the Warlords launch. The following changes are planned for today:
- A problem was fixed that caused Aaron Keener to behave strangely when under EMP influence.
- A problem was fixed that prevented interaction with ECHOs.
- A problem was fixed that did not display the corresponding user interface after interaction with control point officers.
- A problem was fixed that prevented a conversation with Kelso.
- Another problem was fixed that could prevent interaction with community leaders.
- A problem was fixed that allowed the IWI Negev to deal approximately 50% more damage than intended.
- A problem was fixed that prevented players from unlocking an area if they did not open the safe house door themselves.
- A problem was fixed that prevented players from receiving specialization points during leveling from 31-40 and during the subsequent SHD levels.
- A problem was fixed that prevented some new mods from the Warlords expansion from dropping.
- Numerous bugs were fixed, which led to server crashes.
- A problem was fixed that caused the new weapon exotic Bullet King to not drop from the final boss in Rikers missions.
- A problem was fixed that did not display attributes in the user interface when viewing masks or some other items in the inventory.
- A problem was fixed that prevented parts of the Nemesis (quest) from being available.
- A problem was fixed that caused robotic dogs to behave erratically, such as flying.
- A problem was fixed that could cause an important NPC to get stuck in the “Hugh Carey Tunnel” mission.
Additionally, the loot quality in the Dark Zone is to be adjusted. This has unintentionally become chaotic and currently corresponds to double the loot quality compared to heroic missions. Therefore, the loot quality and the number of god rolls in the Dark Zone will now be slightly reduced to match the challenging difficulty level of missions.
Note that Massive could update this list again during the maintenance according to their statement.
