The Division 2 6.1 Update Patch Notes Detail Christmas Content, Hardcore Mode, And More

The Division 2‘s next major update, 6.1, is coming this week and will bring the promised Christmas content and Hardcore Mode beta. The PC, PS4, and Xbox One game will go down for maintenance on December 10 at 12:30AM PT / 3:30AM ET for approximately four hours, and when it comes back there will be new content to enjoy, plus many bug fixes aimed to improve the player experience. The update is expected to weigh in at 3 GB. Read on for a look at the full patch notes.

Title update 6.1 introduces a new in-game event, Situation: Snowball, which will add some holiday cheer to the game. The agent login screen will receive a festive makeover, and players can receive a Holiday Supplies pack featuring three Standard Apparel Keys, three pieces of equipment, and a “Holiday hat.” It’s not clear if that Holiday hat is distinct from the Santa hats that Ambusher Hoarders will be wearing after the update. They’ll also drop the snowball-firing Sleigher weapon when you take them down.

Now Playing: 13 Minutes Of The Division 2 Episode 2 Gameplay

This update will also kick off the latest Apparel Event. Players will be able to nab “four new outfits, five emotes, nine weapon skins, and a new mask,” according to Ubisoft. As previously detailed, 35 items of clothing will be added over time.

The beta for Hardcore Mode, which only gives you one life to live, is also coming. It’s extremely hard to avoid death entirely in The Division 2, so only the absolute most hardcore players need apply for this appropriately named mode.

Gameplay and talent changes are also coming. Cassie Mendoza, a vendor who sells powerful items, will always have two named items and the Shield Splinterer available in her stock after this patch, with the Splinterer being permanent (as long as you have unlocked the Ivory Key lockbox) and the other two items rotating. UI elements are also being added to indicate her availability. The Shield Splinterer is now considered a High-End item, and will always be at least level 30. Similarly, the Emeline’s Guard and Designated Hitter weapons will now always be High-End. The Negotiator’s Dilemma talent is also changing, and grenades will no longer explode on contact with their targets–there’s a two second fuse timer now, which is a subtle but important change.

The full patch list of bug fixes is below. Most importantly, Xbox One players who were unable to install the game from the disc will now find that their issue has been addressed; the others are general quality-of-life improvements meant to prevent player frustration.
