Agents, incoming State of the Game transmission:
During the last State of the Game, Community Developers Petter Mårtensson and Yannick Banchereau revealed the Global Event Onslaught release date and showcased a few community creations.
Petter and Yannick are back this week to talk about Update 1.8.2: New legendary missions, balancing and bug fixes.
Welcome to Episode 100 of State of the Game! Firstly, we want to thank our community for being a part of the segment since launch. All of your love and support has made State of the Game the show it is today.
We are now only a few days away from E3! Ready to find out more about The Division 2? Tune in to watch the Ubisoft Conference on Monday, June 11th – 1 PM PST / 4 PM EST – 10 PM CEST.
Today we announced that Update 1.8.2 is launching on June 14th. The update will include various bug fixes, balancing changes and new content, including:
-
New Legendary Missions:
- General Assembly
- Madison Field Hospital
-
Shields
-
Reactivation Caches
-
Balancing changes to Classified Predator's Mark & Nomad's Resolve
-
Reduction to the auto-snap on aim via a cooldown after the first use
-
Phoenix Credit cap increase to 8,000
Reactivation caches will be given out to all players, containing a wide array of 256 GS items including a currency pack, high-end gear, three 4-piece gear sets as well as a variety of weapons and mods. Enabling returning players to jump straight back into World Tier 5 with their friends without having to catch up.
A new Encrypted Cache Mark IV is releasing with 1.8.2, containing four new Collections and a final fifth Chase Collection set. We are removing the current stock of store items to replace them with non-collection items from Mark I, II, and III including Emotes. The Encrypted Caches will still be available for Cypher Keys as before.
More in-depth information on the changes are available in the VoD.
