In The Division, today, on August 5th, is the big vendor reset. These items are particularly worthwhile this week.
It has recently been confirmed: Update 1.7 is not too far away. The PTS phase has ended days ago, and Massive referred to the release window as “mid-August” for the first major update of Year 2 of The Division.
You can prepare for 1.7 in advance: Because there will be no gear score increase. You can already gather weapons and mods for your future builds – or purchase them from the vendors. Only buying armor pieces is not recommended anymore, as in 1.7 the classified armor pieces will be the measure of all things.
These items are particularly worthwhile at the vendors this week.
