The newest Global Event—Blackout—has arrived with new modifiers, vanity masks, and another chance at Classified gear-sets!

• Start: April 23, 08:00 AM UTC
  
• End: April 30, 08:00 AM UTC

The following modifiers are live during Blackout:

• Blackout—Always active. Agents are equipped with Shock Ammo that stuns enemies. Shooting or running builds your Charge meter. The more Charge, the more damage you inflict.
  
• Extreme Blackout—Blackout behavior, plus you can instantly kill enemies with Overcharged melee attacks, but if you miss you will stun yourself and your allies.
  
• Total Blackout—Extreme Blackout behavior, plus your Charge meter will cool down faster when close to other group members.

Agents now have an opportunity to earn the following Classified gear-sets:

• Classified DeadEye
  
• Classified D3-FNC
  
• Classified Striker's Battlegear
  
• Classified Tactician's Authority

No Global Event would be complete without vanity items. The Vulcan, Tao, and Rictus facemasks make their way into The Division and can be earned by completing Blackout-specific Commendations.



In addition, three new weapon skins will be rewarded based on player performance on the tiered-Global Event Leaderboards. We hope to see everyone in-game!

Agents, incoming State of the Game transmission:

During the last State of the Game, Community Developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau discussed the launch of Update 1.8.1, as well as a return of Stats with Yannick with some impressive numbers from the past month’s Global Events and a look into some Legendary Missions statistics.

This week, Petter is joined by Senior Design Lead Paul Turland and Designer James Norris from Ubisoft Leamington to discuss the recent update and the upcoming Global Event Blackout as well as showcase more excellent entries to the #EmojiAgent challenge.
If you werent able to catch the stream live, we got you covered with the VoD



During today’s maintenance we deployed a server-side hotfix that fixed a couple of issues identified since the launch of Update 1.8.1.

• Removed vendor exotics from the Underground named bosses loot pool.
• Fixed legendary weapon skins not showing up correctly in mission reward previews.

Global Event Blackout will start on Monday April 23rd and will run until April 30th. During this event, you will be able to get your hands on the Classified versions of the DeadEYE, D3-FNC, Striker’s Battlegear & Tactician’s Authority gear sets as well obtain these new vanity masks for your agent.

• Blackout - Always active. Agents are equipped with Shock Ammo that stuns enemies. Shooting or running builds your Charge meter. The more Charge, the more damage you inflict.
• Extreme Blackout - Blackout behavior, plus you can instantly kill enemies with Overcharged melee attacks, but if you miss you will stun yourself and your allies.
• Total Blackout - Extreme Blackout behavior, plus your Charge meter will cool down faster when close to other group members.

Make sure to check out the VoD as Designers Paul Turland & James Norris for a developer's perspective on the philosophy that went into the creation of Blackout.

We have shown a lot of great entries to the #EmojiAgent challenge in the past few weeks and they just keep coming! @Baundiesel shared his take on the Sneeze emote with us. Bless you, Baun!

@cfgamble really nailed absolutely everything in this picture, even the background matches up. Excellent work, agent!

@bicycleofdeath has his eyes on you. You better not go rogue, agent!

We also had a couple of Massive employees submit their entries. First we have Uplay programmer @olafurw saying hello to the community.

@Dinusty, an Environment Artist at Massive went all in with his entry. Out of all emotes that could have been done, he went with the backflip! That’s some serious dedication, agent!

Finally, we have this awesome still of @miniKenga111 from her stage performance with @goosecosplay1. The cosplay is really spot on, even down to the smallest details.

If you haven’t seen their stage performance, make sure to check it out on YouTube.



Stay tuned to future State of the Game streams for information on upcoming Global Events as well as additional information on Update 1.8.2 as we move closer to its planned June release.

As always, be sure to join us over on the Official Forums or on the community Reddit if you’re looking for a place to discuss all things related to The Division.

Until next time!

Agents!

The Mark III Encrypted Cache has now arrived! Found at the Premium Vendor in the Terminal, these loot containers include exclusive vanity items that are purely cosmetic. Here is a preview of some of the new appearance items arriving in the upcoming cache!



With Predator’s Mark, Hunter’s Faith, Lone Star, and Final Measure vanity Collections, Agents can continue to match their equipped gear sets with appearance items! We expect other exciting combinations with the new MC Retro Collection as well! Finishing each of these Collections also unlocks an additional item as a piece of an overall bonus 6th Collection—Sentinel.

Opening Encrypted Caches requires Cypher Keys, which can be earned through a few different means. The first is simply by playing The Division. Killing bosses, completing Commendations, and completing Search and Destroy missions all reward Cypher Key Fragments. Ten Fragments are required for one Cypher Key, and one Cypher Key opens one Encrypted Cache. The alternative is through Premium Credits, which can be purchased at the Premium Vendor. Cypher Keys can be purchased in bundles to open Encrypted Caches.

Agents!

Whether you are a newer player to The Division or thinking about coming back for more, now is a great time to jump back into the world of Manhattan. This tutorial serves as a guideline for the many activities available for newly enlisted Agents as well as returning veterans.


After leaving the chopper, players see Manhattan’s run-down state first-hand. Supplies are running low, enemy factions have overtaken the city, and hope is spread thin. As an honorary Division Agent, it is now your responsibility to push the enemy factions back as the last beacon of hope the city has.

Your first task is to re-establish the home Base of Operations (BOO) after speaking with your primary contact—Faye Lau. Questing in The Division offers players the opportunity to explore the city of Manhattan completely solo or through 4-player co-op. Jump into a solo session and navigate the streets to provide aid to civilians and assist JTF convoys in the field. Recover audio logs and Missing Agent transmissions that tell the story of First-Wave Division Agents. Travel between safe houses to secure vantage points across the city and upgrade your arsenal of weapons, gear, and modifications.

If you are looking for more firepower, invite some of your friends to tackle Campaign missions! Agents will face off against hostile figureheads like Colonel Bliss, Larae Barrett, and Rioter Hutch to shatter faction morale and stabilize choke-points throughout Manhattan. Along the way, Agents will forge friendships with key figures like Captain Benitez, Dr. Jessica Kandel, Paul Rhodes, and the notorious Sgt. Ramos. These familiar faces will act as every Agent’s support network, so be sure to heed their advice!

These are just some of the many opportunities available when stepping foot in The Division for the first time!


Welcome back, Agent! If you are coming back to the game or just hit level 30, we want to answer the most common question for The Division’s end-game—“How do I get gear?” Remember that you, the player, always have the option of choosing your end-game activities. Players will always be rewarded for playing their way.

As a starting guideline, we recommend progressing through the World Tiers until reaching World Tier 5. This means completing missions, eliminating High Value Targets, and defeating Dark Zone bosses to increase overall Gear Score. WT5 is unlocked at GS 256+, and Agents will be fighting the most challenging enemies for the greatest rewards in this bracket.

Assignments are a series of challenges unlocked at level 30 that are accessible on the map. The following can be completed once a week, per character for a total of three Exotic Caches. Please note that players need access to the DLC in order to complete the Underground/Survival Weekly Assignments.

• Weekly Assignment
  
• Underground Assignment
  
• Survival Assignment

In addition, one Exotic Cache is granted per character for the successful completion of each of the following missions, per week:

• Legendary Time Square Power Relay
  
• Legendary WarrenGate Power Plant
  
• Legendary Napalm Production Site
  
• Falcon Lost Incursion (Heroic)
  
• Clear Sky Incursion (Heroic)
  
• Dragon’s Nest Incursion (Heroic)
  
• Stolen Signal Incursion (Heroic)

One of the newest exotic SMGs–The House—was reviewed by community member Lt. BuzzLitebeer. Check out what he had to say!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh9ap_gKxsg
As players grow their Exotic collection, a number of gear-sets will drop along the way. These 4-piece gear-sets bring tailored bonuses to the table that cater to various playstyles for Division Agents. D3-FNC, for example, gives players bonuses for using the Ballistic shield on the front line while Reclaimer designates players as the dedicated healer with an enhanced Support Station. Path of the Nomad is the solo player’s dream with increased survivability while Striker’s Battlegear fits a DPS role with increased stacks of damage. Even more gear-sets are available to fit the way any Agent wants to play.

YouTuber KackisHD provides some gear-set tips for new and returning players!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2yIIujC5IY
Finding Classified gear-sets plays a huge role in the end-game. Each standard gear-set has a Classified version, with an additional two-pieces that bring a full set to 6-pieces total. A 6-piece Classified set brings its standard equivalent to the next level by magnifying its power and effectiveness. Keep in mind the following activities have a chance to drop a Classified gear-piece in addition to Exotic weapons/gear:

• Open World bosses
  
• Dark Zone bosses
  
• Underground Hunters
  
• Phoenix Credit Cache at the Terminal
  
• Season Pass Supply Drop

For a detailed overview of Classified Gear, ETF member Rxlyat has all the intel!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63cWtsV5uQk
Alongside all the PVE content, players always have the option to jump into any of the PVP modes available in The Division. We recommend gearing up and crafting a build before venturing in. While gear-normalization applies here (except the DZ), individual gear will have an impact on the experience.

• Last Stand—an 8V8 PVPVE mode in which Agents battle over tactical fortifications with the interference of enemy NPCs.
  
• Skirmish—a dedicated 4V4 PVP mode introduced with Update 1.8 with an emphasis on smaller-scale gunfights.
  
• Dark Zone—a PVEVP zone in which Agents utilize Update 1.8’s voluntary rogue mechanic to flag themselves for PVP. Landmarks and Contamination Events are also available with bosses for farming.

Watch ETF member Widdz earn 18 kills in a close Skirmish game!

We welcome all new and returning players alike to The Division! Head over to the Official Forums and community Reddit for discussions and feedback. Thank you, Agents!

Agents, incoming State of the Game transmission:

During the last State of the Game,Community Developers Petter Mårtensson and Yannick Banchereau recapped the upcoming changes with Update 1.8.1 and featured a number of submissions to the #EmojiAgent hashtag challenge, among other things!

This week, Yannick and Hamish discussed today’s launch of Update 1.8.1 as well as a return of Stats with Yannick with some impressive numbers from the past month’s Global Events and a look into some Legendary Mission statistics.

If you missed the stream, you check out the VoD.



If you missed the news, Update 1.8.1 released today on all platforms with new content, loot table tweaks and much more.

New Legendary Difficulty Missions

New Global Events

The update also includes changes to drop rates of Classified Gear items, improved availability of Division Tech, changes to the Exotic loot table and much more. You can find the full list of changes in the Patch Notes.

The Xbox One X enhancement patch was released today together with the Update. Improvements for Xbox One X owners include:

• Improved object detail
  
• Improved screen-space shadows

Stats with Yannick made a return today with focus on the Global Events that ran throughout last month during the 2 year anniversary.





With today’s addition of two new Legendary Missions, we also wanted to take a look into how many times the existing Legendary Missions have been completed since their release.



The numbers are quite impressive as always and we would like to thank the community for your dedication!

Finally, our very own Fredrik rose to the #EmojiAgent challenge with this golf club pose. He even brought his golf club to the office. Right on, Agent!



The next Global Event Blackout is still planned to start in April and as soon as we have the date nailed down, we will let you know.

Stay tuned to future State of the Game streams for information on upcoming Global Events as well as additional information on Update 1.8.2 as we move closer to its planned June release.
