The Division Update 1.6 PTS Goes Live Today, Patch Notes Released

Check out some of the changes to be tested.

Posted By | On 24th, Jan. 2017

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.
