In The Division, the vendors will undergo major changes with patch 1.4. They are becoming more important and have Sealed Containers in their inventory.
We at Mein-MMO.de report weekly on the big vendor reset in The Division. On the night from Friday to Saturday, vendors will receive a fresh offering of high-quality items – however, this is becoming less interesting for many agents in the end game. Most of the items offered come with a low gear score and are therefore no longer relevant for numerous players. Thus, we have observed a steady decline in view counts over the past weeks and months. Only a few agents are specifically looking for the vendor reset.
But this is supposed to change later this month. Because the October update 1.4, which still does not have a specific release date, will bring some changes to the vendors. On the one hand, the gear scores of the goods will adjust to your selected world level, so the vendors can bring items with the maximum gear value. Additionally, their offerings will change.
Your currencies should be worthwhile again
Since 1.4, the entire loot system is being revised, the vendors will also be adjusted. You will have more opportunities to exchange your hard-earned currencies for useful items. Even the (normal) credits vendors will be enhanced.
- The credits vendors will sell superior and high-end items with 1.4, which are lucrative for your selected world level. You can then also invest credits to improve your equipment. Until now, these vendors were uninteresting as soon as you reached level 30. The reset of these vendors will no longer be daily as before, but weekly, like for the high-quality items vendors. They sell sealed containers, similar to the ones you can obtain with 1.4 through experience points.
- The vendors in the Dark Zone will also sell sealed containers starting from 1.4. The only difference between the DZ containers and the other containers is that the DZ containers yield slightly more Phoenix Credits.
By the way: The sealed containers contain one to two random items, whose gear score depends on yours, and a few Phoenix Credits.
- With “Phoenix Credits” vendors, you can buy sealed containers, but these are not as “random” as the other containers. Here, you can buy categorized containers: Either weapons, gear sets or mods.
- The vendor in DZ06, our Dark Xur from the early days of The Division, will bring a random selection of gear sets, one piece for each slot.
- The “Phoenix Credits” vendor, on the other hand, will bring one item from each gear set, but the slots are random (that is, whether he brings a mask, gloves, chest piece, holster, backpack or kneepads from the set).
This “Phoenix vendor” is supposed to offer the best gear of all vendors overall.
Additionally:
- The prices for gear sets will decrease with 1.4 to align them with high-end items. Assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, and sniper rifles will also become cheaper. Named weapons as well.
- To be able to buy Dark Zone containers, you must be DZ rank 20. Furthermore, the general requirements to acquire gear in the Dark Zone have been lowered.
What do you think of the changes?
