In The Division, the global event “Attack” is running longer than specified. Massive adds a few days.
The third global event in The Division started on Tuesday. It is called “Attack” and revolves entirely around explosions. When you eliminate an enemy, they explode, and when you activate additional modifiers, it gets even more explosive.
Actually, this event was supposed to end next Monday, on December 18th. This was communicated by Massive and the date is also on the info graphic for global event 3:
As the developers said in today’s State of the Game, this end date is no longer valid. They are extending the event by two days. Now it is supposed to end on December 20th.
During the event, you can earn new masks, and fresh secret gear sets have been introduced. Everything you need to know about global event 3 can be read here.
Problems and Stats
In the livestream, the developers addressed a few issues they are currently investigating:
- There may be interruptions with the servers. The demand is currently enormous.
- Items can disappear when trying to share them.
- You can spam the impulse giver – continuously activating it. However, the stats do not increase as a result.
- There are fluctuations in gear score. When you use the optimization station, sometimes overly high values are displayed. The next time you log in, the values are correct (and lower).

Additionally, Massive released a few statistics:
- Since the update 1.8, 59,000 The House and 52,000 Big Alejandro have been equipped. Both are new exotics, with The House being particularly sought after right now.
- A total of 300,000,000 Division-Tech has been used at the optimization station.
- 2,300,000 players have gone rogue in the DZ.
- and 840,000 players have been killed by Hunters in the Underground.
The following stats refer only to the first 24 hours after the start of the global event:
- 3,500,000,000 GE-Credits have been collected.
- 1,800,000 Superior Assault Containers have been opened.
- and 2,500,000 times Larae Barrett has been killed.
