In The Division, we take a look at the best weapons and mods that the vendors have to offer after 1.5.
On November 22, Patch 1.5 went live on Xbox One and PC. If you’re on PS4, you’ll have to wait a little longer for the update to be applied. Massive hasn’t provided a specific date yet.
Generally speaking about the vendors, the underground vendor doesn’t need to be mentioned anymore as he only sells Sealed Caches – exactly the same ones that the specialized equipment vendor has on offer. Additionally, the value of the vendor items no longer depends on the World Tier but on your character’s Gear Score.
With Update 1.5, there was a significant vendor reset. Where is it worth taking advantage this week? The next reset is already scheduled for the night from Friday to Saturday.
Weapons and Weapon Mods since 1.5
The advanced weapon vendor in the Security Wing of the Base of Operations has the named LMG Pakhan every week. It comes with the talents Swift (which was buffed with 1.5, you reload 25% instead of 15% faster), Destructive, and Malevolent. A strong weapon that became even stronger with 1.5. It costs 1,669,320 credits. A purchase is worth it.
