The Division 2-new-4

The Division 2 Title Update #4 is now available for download, full patch release notes revealed


Ubisoft has just released a major new update for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. According to the release notes, title update #4 introduces the first post-launch Specialization, Gunner. The Gunner is equipped with a powerful minigun and will serve as the vanguard for SHD agents.

Moreover, this patch brings some Clan changes. For instance, it reduces CXP requirements for each tier of Clan Cache, changes Clan Weekly Projects to be easier to complete for smaller clans, adds last online status to show when clan members were last active as well as indicators for members already in a group, and how many free spaces are available on the clan roster page.

As you may have guessed, title update #4 also packs numerous fixes. For example, it fixes weird lighting in some tunnels, an issue where grouped players could disconnect after leaving a Classified Assignment, an issue where NPC speed after turning would be incorrect, an issue where NPCs would skip animations after jumping and more.

This latest patch for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is currently available for download, and both UPLAY and Epic Games Store will update the game to its latest version the next time you launch their clients.

Below you can find the complete changelog for this patch.

UI
