In the MMO shooter The Division, a patch will be released tomorrow. This will disable the popular farming method “Bullet King.”
We already reported today that the Bullet King is likely facing its final moments. Just now, confirmation came from Ubisoft: it and farming spots that work like it will be affected tomorrow in a patch for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The patch notes for 1.0.2 have just been presented.
We will perform our weekly server maintenance on Tuesday, 9 AM CET | 8 AM UTC | 4 AM EDT | 1 AM PDT. Downtime: 3h >> https://t.co/fJYX25SuhO

The maintenance will take place tomorrow morning, on Tuesday, between 9 AM and 12 PM. The maintenance duration will again be about 3 hours.
The Dark Zone becomes more attractive; mindless farming is no longer possible
“Named Mobs” will disappear when killed in the Open World – This is done to avoid situations like with the Bullet King, who was killed en masse. As long as his group stayed alive, he kept coming back.
Additionally, the patch brings a number of further changes, here are the most important:
- in challenge mode, “named enemies” will drop better loot than on “hard”
- the Dark Zone should become more attractive for PvP players, for both rogues and normal agents, both the rewards for killing rogue agents and for surviving them are increased – and Ubisoft lowers the penalties for currency and experience when dying in the Dark Zone. This applies to both traitors and non-traitors.
the drop rate for Phoenix Credits in the Dark Zone has been increased, high-end items are now also supposed to drop more frequently and the crates are expected to yield better loot, but there should be less and rarer Dark Zone currency from NPCs (the increased drop rate for Phoenix Credits has now been removed due to concerns about client stability, it will be added later)- and the high-end weapon Midas will be changed, where the talent “Trained” has been removed as it was too strong, it will be significantly nerfed and replaced on the Midas by the talent “Responsible”.
You can find the complete patch notes with all changes here in German on Ubisoft.
