Conflict Is Coming To The Division — The Good Kind
On May 24, Ubisoft will launch The Division’s first big update (as in, not something added to deal with a glitch). Entitled Conflict, it will add multiple new attractions to the game free of charge, including these four new gear sets:
- Final Measure: This powerful defensive set features improved Exotic Damage Resilience, protection from Elite enemies and when completed allows you to passively defuse enemy grenades and instantly add them to your inventory.
- Hunter’s Faith: Designed for marksman characters, it features an improved critical chance when using long-range rifles and increases damage to elites. Worn together, the four items in the set give you temporary armor after you hit an enemy at range. “The further your shot,” the blog says, “the more armor is awarded.”
- Lone Star: A special set for those using high rate of fire, automatic weapons it improves your ammo capacity by 100 percent, adds LMG and shotgun damage and when completed allows you to refill a magazine simply by holstering your weapon.
- Predator’s Mark: This set adds 20 percent to your weapon range, improves both assault rifle and pistol damage and when completed includes a nasty bleed effect for landing 10 consecutive shots on the same target.
A new raid will also appear called Clear Sky, but you’ll have to be level 30 or above to attempt it. You’ll be able to access Hard Mode when the update is released and Challenge Mode will appear one week later.
This update will also include the usual list of improvements and tweaks. To see all of them, head to Ubisoft’s official list and scroll, scroll, scroll. Conflict arrives tomorrow.
