In The Division, the modifiers for Global Event 3 and Global Event 4 are known. There will be more explosions!
Yesterday, on October 10th, the second Global Event in the history of The Division ended. However, the next two Global Events are already on the horizon: They can and could be played on the public test servers for Update 1.8, which is why it’s already known how they will modify PvE activities.
These events will start only after Update 1.8 has been released. Specific dates are not yet available. Presumably, they will take place in November and December.
Let’s take a look at the upcoming events.
Global Event 3 – Strike
The third Global Event is called Strike. It was already playable on the PC-PTS and brings this explosive Global Modifier in PvE:
- Strike – always active: When enemies are killed, they explode after a short delay.
These are the optional modifiers:
- Pre-emptive Strike: The effect of Strike + when you deal too much damage, it triggers a small explosion on the agent.
- Tactical Strike: The effect of Pre-emptive Strike + Strike explosions mark nearby enemies. Kills of marked enemies deal damage to all other enemies. Additionally, you receive increased damage from ally explosions.
You can select these optional modifiers in the missions Lincoln Tunnel, Lexington, Times Square, Warren Gate, and in the incursion Stolen Signal. So it will be explosive in these PvE activities!
With the third Global Event, these secret gear sets come: Path of the Nomad, D3-FNC, AlphaBridge, and Banshee.
Global Event 4 – Ambush
Ambush is the Global Event that is currently available on the PTS. It is quieter because you primarily need to remain still. It brings this Global Modifier:
- Ambush – always active: Agents deal increased damage when they do not move.
These are optional modifiers:
- Covert Ambush: The effect of Ambush + if you move, your damage is reduced. Additionally, you receive extra damage if you move for too long. A white bar will be displayed above your hit points. If you move, this will decrease, and if you stand still, it will refill. To avoid any disadvantages, you should try to keep this bar as full as possible. If the bar is empty, you will take damage over time.
- Strategic Ambush: The effect of Covert Ambush + if you are too close to allies, you deal less damage.
The two optional modifiers are only available in certain missions, such as in Queens Tunnel, Times Square, Broadway, Police Academy, and in the Dragon’s Nest incursion.
With the fourth Global Event, these secret gear sets come: FireCrest, Hunter’s Faith, Predator’s Mark, and Tactician’s Authority.
Have you already played the events on the PTS? What do you think of them?
