Tom Clancy’s The Division on PC will see the release of its Public Test Server on September 22nd for the Elite Task Force. This is the team that helped provide feedback to developer Ubisoft Massive on balancing the game and overhauling its balance.
The date was confirmed on Twitter by mod for The Division’s daily stream who noted that it would be live at 9 AM CEST. It was a Reddit thread
that further noted the ETF receiving early access. All other players will be able to access the PTS on September 26th.
The main purpose of the PTS is to try out update 1.4 which will overhaul enemy health and damage, introduce World Tiers for better loot rewards, offer more generous amounts of loot and so on. It’s currently scheduled to go live in October so stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks, especially with regards to its exact feature set.
