In The Division, the patch notes for update 1.2 are known.
In the special report last Thursday and in the latest States of The Game, the developers have already discussed the conflict update of The Division, which is now imminent. However, the patch notes still hold a few surprises: these have just been released. We pick out a few interesting points that were previously unknown.
Here are the patch notes for update 1.2 in The Division
The patch notes initially list the known information about the raid “Clear Sky”, the new gear sets, the “HVTs”, and the looting mechanics in the Dark Zone.
Regarding the “Sealed Caches” in the Dark Zone, it is indicated that these sealed containers can drop in four quality levels: Specialized, Superior, High-end, and Gear Set.
In addition, alongside the new high-end weapons Hungry Hog, Centurion, Medved and Historian, the shotgun “Showstopper” will be implemented into the game. However, this will only be available with update 1.3.
Other new features:
- The handling of weapons will be improved when you are in cover. “Blind fire” will also be improved.
- Your average gear score will now only consider the equipped weapon with the highest gear score. This is intended to prevent agents from intentionally reducing their value.
- The required stats for “Falcon Lost” will be increased: for “Hard” it is now 160, for “Challenging” it is 180.
- The “Special Gear Vendor” will now be called “Special Equipment Vendor”.
- The talent of the “Call of the Watch” set will now only work with semi-automatic weapons: pistols, shotguns, and marksman rifles.
- In the Dark Zone, the helicopter will now stay for 60 seconds during pickups.
Additionally, numerous bugs and errors will be fixed, including some PC-specific ones. The talents Reckless, Balanced, Brutal and One is None as well as some gear sets will now work as intended by Massive. Furthermore, adjustments have been made to the Mobile Cover: as a result, agents can no longer access areas outside the map.
You can view all patch notes for update 1.2 on the official Ubisoft page.
The patch will be available for download on May 24 at approximately 12 PM. Maintenance will take place on Tuesday from 9 AM until around 12 PM.
