The newest update for The Division 2 is out, bringing new content and fixing bugs in the post-apocalyptic shooter. The Division 2 Title Update 7 as it’s called packs in the full force of a new mini-expansion, with plenty of new content and changes. This patch is mostly a bug fix patch, but there are the new Coney Island missions in there as well.
In terms of gameplay changes, we’re actually a bit light in The Division 2 Title Update 7. This patch introduces a new Firewall specialization with some new flame-based weaponry to toy with. That’s cool and all, or should I say hot? There are also a few new weapons as part of the mission content, with the Chameleon Exotic leading the pack. Other new weapons in the update include the UIC15 MOD2 and the G28.
As for bugs, there are bugs with apparel items, map glitches, weapon damage exploits, nerfs to a bunch of perks, animation hangs and a whole bunch of other nonsense. All in all, it’s great to see Ubisoft working hard to make this game the best it can be.
