Changes and Bug Fixes for The Division

The upcoming update for The Division will bring some new features and a range of updates to the game itself including a long list of bug fixes. Not all of the bug fixes are listed so its hard to know if they have addressed some of the current exploits that are proving popular to farm for loot. The update is due on April 12th.

Also check out the new features to be added to the game here.

Game Changes and Updates

Gameplay

Turret skill can no longer suppress enemy NPCs, as this allowed named NPCs to be defeated too easily

Phoenix Credits drop have been increased on lvl 31 and 32 named enemies:

Level 30: 1-3 Phoenix Credits

Level 31: 2-4 Phoenix Credits

Level 32: 3-5 Phoenix Credits

So some tough enemies will get tougher (or not so easy) but the rewards from hitting the big guys will be improved. At least a little better than the big cut to the PC drops from the previous update.

Dark Zone

The vendor in the Church Safe House will now sell items in Dark Zone Funds instead of Phoenix Credits

Ranks requirements for Superior and High-End quality items at the Dark Zone Vendors have been adjusted:

Superior (Purple) items: Rank 15 instead of 30

High-End (Gold) level 30 (Gear Score 163): Rank 25 instead of 50

High-End (Gold) level 31 (Gear Score 182): Rank 40 instead of 50

Added a new Dark Zone bracket for characters with Gear Score 160+

Some good news here for the solo or occasional Dark zone players who are finding the grind to 50 long and slow. Better loot sooner and a bracket distinction for the very well equipped should even things out a little.

Crafting

Increased costs for converting crafting materials and crafting High-End items:

10 Standard (Green) materials instead of 5 to craft 1 Specialized (Blue) material

15 Specialized (Blue) materials instead of 5 to craft 1 High-End (Gold) material

10 High-End (Gold) materials instead of 8 to craft 1 lvl 31 High-End (Gold) item

Changed deconstruction yield of Standard (Green) and High-End (Gold) items:

Deconstructing a Standard (Green) item yields 1 Standard material instead of 2

Deconstructing a High-End (Gold) item yields 1 High-End material instead of 2

Added new level 31 and 32 High-End items Blueprints to Vendors

Removed Division Tech requirements from some level 31 High-End Blueprints

The crafting updates will mean a much lower rate of return on your collected loot so if you have any stored up items / resources and you know you will be using them for high end crafting in the future then get them converted to high end resources before that update drops.

User Interface

Added gamepad deadzone calibration in settings menu (all platforms)
