The Division 2 is going into maintenance today, on October 18, just before the weekend. The servers on PS4, Xbox One, and PC will be offline for an hour. Find out here why the maintenance is necessary and what the patch notes say.
These are the maintenance times: The current server downtime was scheduled very last minute and announced on Twitter only about 10 minutes before the start. Here are the times:
- Start of maintenance: 11 AM in our time zone
- Servers of all platforms will be offline for about 60 minutes
- If you are in the game, you will be logged out and will not be able to log back in during this time
- Servers should be back online by 12 PM, if everything goes as planned
Already the second maintenance in two days
The developers have not been following the usual maintenance schedule on Thursdays for a few weeks now and seem to be implementing short-term maintenance more often shortly after updates.
Patch brings back Discovery Mode
What is coming with the update? The patch notes: The update unlocks the Discovery difficulty mode just before the weekend.
Shortly after TU6, this mode was disabled because items from the Hard mode had ended up in the loot pool of the much easier mode. Some agents were certainly pleasantly surprised this week when an unexpected raid weapon dropped in the warm-up mode of the raid.
As many agents are currently still revising their builds after the update, it was even more important to get the mode online before the first weekend of the new update.
Here’s what the patch notes say:
- A faulty script in the operations base was fixed, which could block progress for some players
- Discovery Mode in the raid is back, the assault rifle Eagle Bearer should no longer drop there
- In Kenly College, you now need to have completed all sections for the exotic Diamondback rifle to be collected in the chapel
What else can I expect in The Division? The developers continue to work on updates and are closely monitoring their game after the update. Minor maintenance work is still expected in the coming days.
With TU6, many changes and balance adjustments were made to the game, check here if you need more information:
What do you think about the fact that the Discovery Mode is available this weekend?
