UbiBlog has details on tomorrow's planned release of Underground, the
first premium expansion for The Division, saying this will come along
with a new patch to update the game to version 1.3. They offer a new trailer
called Going Underground -
What We Learned showing off the pack, and outline details about the
expansion and the patch:
Underground, the first paid expansion for The
Division, arrives on Xbox One and PC tomorrow, and it’s bringing a host of cool
new features and additions. At its center are the randomized Underground
Operations, which we tried out at E3, and which bring new levels of uncertainty
and challenge to group missions. Underground also comes with a new level-30
Incursion, Dragon’s Nest, which pits Agents against the Cleaners in Hell’s
Kitchen, as well as four new Gear Sets:
B.L.I.N.D., which adds an improved Pulse skill and
flashbangs.
DeadEYE, which enhances long-range firepower with
critical strikes and accurate headshots.
FireCrest, which lets you set enemies ablaze.
Reclaimer, an “ultimate support set” with the
power to boost your entire group.
The Underground expansion will arrive alongside Update 1.3, which adds a raft
of improvements for all players on Xbox One and PC (with the PS4 update coming
at a later date). Delivering more than bug fixes, Update 1.3 adds a new Gear Set
– AlphaBridge, which lets you take advantage of all equipped weapon talents – as
well as new high-end weapons, a new Base of Operations extension called the
Terminal, and Heroic Mode and Challenge Mode difficulty levels for select
missions. Other highlights include:
A new Dark Zone bracket for players with 231+ Gear
Score.
Level 30 players will now only encounter level 30
or higher enemy NPCs in Free Roam.
Matchmaking and fast-travel into no-respawn areas.
The High-Risk High-Value Targets have had their
rewards and difficulty adjusted to take into account the Gear Score
increase.
Added a base weapon damage value that makes it
easier to compare weapons.
