Tom Clancy’s The Division will be undergoing its fourth and final stage of testing for update 1.6. Patch notes have gone live for the Public Test Server, indicating the changes that will be coming with Last Stand (the final paid expansion) and the latest update.

Along with balance changes to the Last Stand PvP mode, PTS 4 sees a number of bugs being quashed including a particularly nasty one that would cause your Turret and Seeker Mine would attack your Support Station if you went Rogue.

In an interesting move, Massive has decided to return Critical Hit Chance to SMGs which had been removed long ago in favour of Critical Hit Damage. The Historian has also received buffs with its original base damage returning and explosive damage equivalent to 700 percent of a player’s Firearms stat.

You can check out the full patch notes here but it seems that widespread changes won’t be made in PTS 4. What are your thoughts on how update 1.6 is shaping up? Let us know below.

Ubisoft Massive has released a crapton of patch notes for the PTS version of update 1.6 in Tom Clancy’s The Division. It also announced that the Public Test Server would be going live later today.

The patch notes (which you can check out in full here) cover many changes that we already learned about last week including the replacement of armour rolls with health, changes to skills and movement (like no reloading while sprinting), changes to AlphaBridge and so on.

However, we also got a look at a bunch of the perks for Exotic (formerly Named) Weapons. The FAMAS now has Uncomplicated as its Exotic perk and will not work with AlphaBridge.

Other content includes a new Legendary difficulty for three missions, re-balancing for supplies and rewards in Survival and the introduction of a new Incursion called Lost Signal. It should be noted that Last Stand, the new 8v8 PvP mode, will become available for testing later on the PTS.

What are your thoughts on the changes? Let us know in the comments below.
