In The Division 2, World Tier 5 is still a while away. Additionally, there is new information about the Castle Settlement and bugs.
The State of the Game just aired on March 20. This is a weekly livestream where the developers talk about the current state of The Division 2, announce new content, or discuss bugs and upcoming patches.
Initially, Massive’s Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau emphasized that The Division 2 is doing quite well. The launch went smoothly, and the servers are running stable. It was a very strong start – and from this foundation, it can continue.
What’s new with World Tier 5?
Information on World Tier 5: Currently, World Tier 5 is still disabled. You cannot progress beyond World Tier 4 in the endgame at this time.
In the Twitch chat, users continuously demanded that Massive should announce a start date. Rumors circulated that World Tier 5 would open its doors this week.
This is what Massive says: However, it was said that the rumors are not true. World Tier 5 will definitely not be unlocked this week.
Only in the near future will it be announced when World Tier 5 goes live. And then it will take a while until it actually happens.
You definitely have a few days left to reach the endgame and level up to World Tier 4.
What content will World Tier 5 actually deliver? So far, the following information is known that will be unlocked soon:
- You can attack Tadil Basin, the base of the Black Tusk, to reach World Tier 5
- Gear Sets will be unlocked
- The Gear Score cap will be increased to 500
- Weekly invasions
- The heroic difficulty
Massive emphasized that they will first fix the most pressing issues before the new content goes live. To ensure that the base gameplay experience is as optimal as possible for everyone.
If the Castle Settlement is gray, then it fits
More information about bugs and issues:
- The Castle Settlement is currently causing discussions, as it appears grayed out on the map for players – and does not show a green symbol like the other settlements. It has now been emphasized that this is currently “normal”. It looks odd, but it is normal. A problem with Castle Settlement progress was fixed a few days ago, which prevented communication with Agent Kelso.
- They are working on headshot sounds
- When playing with other agents, missions like “Visit this NPC” can cause issues. This will be fixed.
- Daily and weekly resets are currently not occurring properly. You would need to be online 24 hours a day for everything to reset correctly. That will also be fixed.
- Clan XP is slightly bugged
- When playing with other players who have significantly higher or lower levels than yourself, there are multiple issues. Armor does not scale correctly, NPC damage needs adjusting. This will be fixed with a client patch.
- Players who lose weapon skins should be able to regain them soon. A fix is being worked on.
- When logging in, it may happen that the character looks different than normal. Usually, logging out and logging back in helps. But that will also be fixed.
Cool stats about The Division 2: Massive revealed a few statistics that have been collected since launch:
- 5.5 billion headshots have been achieved so far
- 123 billion shots have been fired
- 3.9 billion NPCs have been killed – that’s quite a lot of nasty characters
- 1.3 million birds have been shot
