Ubisoft has released a massive new update for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. Title Update 8 adds support for the Warlords of New York Campaign that will be live tomorrow. Moreover, it introduces Directives, Global Difficulty and Seasons.
Going into more details, players will travel to New York City to hunt down Aaron Keener in the Warlords of New York Campaign. To find him you will need to investigate his Lieutenants activities. You’ll also have to find clues and gain the trust of the Peacekeepers.
This patch brings new gear and skills. For instance, it adds the Explosive Sticky Bomb, Incendiary Sticky Bomb, Trip-wire Tap and Decoy skills. It also adds a wide array of new weapons, brand and gear sets, exotic and named items. Not only that, but Title Update 8 adds Gear 2.0.
As said, this patch also brings Directives, Global Difficulty and Seasons. Directives are additional difficulty modifiers that players can activate manually after having finished the Warlords of New York campaign, both for Missions and the Open World.
On the other hand, players that have finished the Warlords of New York campaign will be able to select a Global Difficulty. This will affect all gameplay, including Open World activities. Higher difficulty enemies and activities drop better-quality loot.
Lastly, Seasons will bring a cohesive experience end-game experience using Seasonal Manhunt, Leagues, Global Events, Bounties and Apparel Events across both New York City and Washington D.C.

This update is 42 GB? Holy Jesus.
The game went up to 118GB in size…holy sh*t. I saw my HDD went from 60GB to 11 and was like WTF!! I have a lot of games installed in my drives (SSD’s and HDD’s), but still…these 100GB+ games will be a pain to download more than anything.
A friend of mine has 300/300MB fiber, while I have 10MB/s DSL…he downloaded this patch in minutes while I have to wait 13 hours. (all night downloading a patch…f…m…l)
The problem here is, thats 40 gbs worth of content i will never use because i’m not buying that new expansion. I got the game with my GPU and i have no plans on EVER spending money on a game i don’t own. GAAS is a waste of money. I only reinstalled it cause my buddy in the Navy got his copy for 3 dollars and i wanted to play the campaign with him, while he’s on shore leave. Now i’m regretting this Schitt. Cause like you said this 100 GB games are driving me nuts.
What justifies an update that big? Uncompressed audio? I know it’s an expansion but come on.
I highly doubt it. basically what i suspect is that New York expansion is basically another game to itself. because the actual game size BEFORE was the same as the expansion. That’s what i think. I just hate you have to have all this downloaded and even if you have no plans to play the expansion.
That’s too bad I’ll never experience it.
Because after I DL that 42 GB, it prompted me to DL another 59 GB. Because according to the client files got corrupted. So on top of the 118GB it wanted to DL another 59 GB’s. I pressed uninstall and call it a day. See them in 6 months to a year when the game is abandoned/fixed= Stable. They can’t even get the downloading right for Fuq sakes.
This Game just decided to redownload the update all over again, all 59 GB, I just uninstalled this nonsense, see them in another 6 months when this is all sorted. Just goes to show, even if it’s free, don’t Fuq with Ubisoft.
I bought The Division 2 Standard Edition last month but I haven’t played it. When I want to play it today I need to download the update but damn that update size is really huge for me. It’s around 42GB. I think I will just skip it LOL. ???
Oh and after you DL that 42 GB, it will prompt you to DL another 59 GB. I pressed uninstall and call it a day. See them in 6 months to a year when the game is abandoned/fixed= Stable. They can’t even get the downloading right for Fuq sakes.
Really? That’s not a good sign for me who wants to try this game LOL. Thanks for the info. I think I will wait until the end of the month when my internet quota pass the Fair Usage Policy or wait for months until the game is really “done” with the update. ?
It’s strange how gamers have become ungrateful nowadays. Games have never looked better and richer in content. Some games like The Division 2 and Destiny 2 are simply massive and offer a huge variety of content, yet people still complain about an update that makes Division 2 even bigger and more complete experience. While the update is being downloaded, go and do something else with your life and stop whinging.
First of all, Fuq off! Because this is a business. This is no longer the days of, “oooh sweet new games the devs made for us”. 2nd of all you start up the client it downloads an additional 42 GB’s, then the game decides it wants to Download 59 GB’s on top of that because it claims that files are corrupted. You don’t see a problem here? 3rd of all stop sucking these developers DiKK, they don’t do their jobs properly. When I do Bullshit on my job I get chastised and risk of getting fired. Devs in the game world, WHICH IS A FUQING BUSINESS, FUQS you want to reward them and brush it off. This is why the gaming industry is fuq’d, because of kock suckers like you.
I have better things to do with my time than to fiddle with a broken piece of Schitt. Dude the game is Boring as Fuq anyways. All you do is pew pew pew and have stash full of confusing a$$ “gear” to look at. I own redownload the game after 6 months cause my Navy buddy is in a shore leave and I wanted to run and gun a bit. But let’s face it, the game is not that good. And you aren’t making it any better. Maybe you should start “whining”, too. Then maybe we’d get better quality games, because you seem to speak with such authority, and know it all, maybe they’ll listen to you. But we all know if you had a platform, you’d just keep sucking Kock instead. Kock Sucker!!!
Since its not out on PC(Steam, GOG, et al), I don’t care…
