In The Division 2 PC players can finally test Title Update 5 and Episode 1 on the Test Server (PTS). It has also been revealed what the two new Exotics from the next major update can do.
These are the Exotics: The next major update for The Division 2, Title Update 5, is set to introduce two new Exotics in July:
- The BTSU Gloves
- and the Diamondback, a lever-action rifle
On the Test Servers, where Title Update 5 can already be partially tested, there is still no access – this is expected to happen at a later time.
How the new Exotics play is still unknown. However, the attributes of these Exotics have at least been revealed. So we know what they can do.
The new BTSU Gloves – Here are the properties of this exotic gear piece
What’s in the BTSU Gloves: The BTSU Gloves are the second exotic armor piece in the game after the Dodge City Gunslinger Holster. BTSU stands for Black Task Special Unit.
These are the talents of the BTSU Gloves:
- “Elemental Gadgetry”
- Skills that trigger status effects gain +50% status effect duration and +50% skill haste.
- “Energy Infusion”
- Whenever you trigger a status effect, your gloves become “infused” for 60 seconds. While “infused”, you gain +10% skill damage, +10% skill healing and repair, and +10% skill duration for each yellow stat on your equipment.
- “Charged Proxies”
- When you use such a skill, an explosion is created 1.25 seconds after the hit, transferring the “infused” status effect to all enemies within a radius of 6 meters. Affected enemies take 50% more damage from your skills.
The new Diamondback Rifle – Here’s what the exotic weapon can do
What lies behind the Diamondback: The Diamondback is a lever-action rifle with a unique snake design. The magazine of this weapon holds 5 rounds, and the rate of fire is 100 RPM.
These are the talents of the Diamondback:
- “Agonizing Bite”
- The Diamondback randomly marks an enemy. If you hit this enemy, it “consumes” the mark, guaranteeing a critical hit with +20% total damage. A new random enemy is marked each time you reload.
- “Deep Fangs”
- After hitting 5 marked enemies, you gain +50% reload speed and +20% total damage for 10 seconds. During this time, all shots fired are guaranteed critical hits.
- “Shedding Skin”
- While the weapon is drawn, you gain +20% bonus armor for 3 seconds each time a round is reloaded. When the weapon is holstered, you gain +8% bonus armor for 2 seconds each time you reload or switch your currently equipped weapon.
