The Division 2 – Title Update 8.5 Goes Live Today, Patch Notes Revealed

The Division 2’s servers are currently down for maintenance during which Ubisoft Massive will deploy Title Update 8.5. The update contains a number of fixes and quality of life improvements. Gameplay changes include being able to reset Control Points by changing the Global Difficulty. Thankfully, changing Directives will no longer reset them.

Using the League UI should also be improved when going from week one to two. Other changes include some needed nerfs to enemy NPCs. The Warhound Minigun is a good example – it’s behavior has been adjusted to make it flank less. Its 360 spin attack also has two spins instead of three and a range of 30 meters, down from 70 meters.

Check out some of the bug fixes below, including a fix for the consistent stacking of “Striker’s Gamble”. The full patch notes can be seen here. Maintenance is expected to end by 3:30 AM PDT so stay tuned for more updates and possible changes.
