The Division 2: Serverwartung am 8. Dezember inkl. Titel-Update 12 & Start von Season 4 „End of Watch“ [TU12 Patch Notes]

Am Dienstag, den 8. Dezember 2020 startet „The Division 2“ in die vierte Saison. Im Zuge dessen kommt es auch zu einer Serverwartung und der Bereitstellung von Titel-Update 12. Mit dem neuen Patch erwarten euch neben den neuen Inhalten auch diverse Fehlerkorrekturen. Nachfolgend findet ihr die vollständigen Patch Notes. Die Serverwartung beginnt um 09:30 Uhr. Für die Wartungsarbeiten sind ca. 3 Stunden geplant. Sollte alles planmäßig verlaufen, dann könnt ihr ab 12:30 Uhr wieder loslegen.

Inhalte in der Zusammenfassung

Das Update hält diverse Verbesserungen, neue Inhalte und Balancing-Anpassungen für euch bereit. Zu den Verbesserungen zählen neue Funktionen wie das Aufsammeln von Skills, QoL Verbersserungen und weitere Verbesserungen für Summit. Dazu zählen zwei neue Kategorien für Summit Herausforderungen, rotierende Summit-Belohnungen und Meilensteinbelohnungen. Außerdem wird TU12 auch die Inventargröße auf 150 vergrößern und Mod Filter hinzufügen, die euch erlauben, eure Mods zu sortieren nach Angriff, Verteidigung und Nützlichkeit. Zudem wird ein Global Event Shop hinzugefügt.

Neue Endgame Features -Optimierungsstation & Global Event Händler

Im Global Event Shop könnt ihr Crafting Behälter / Season Behälter / Exotic Behälter etc. mit der neuen In-Game-Währung erwerben. Durch den Abschluss von Global Event Herausforderungen erhaltet ihr Sterne, welche als Währung fungieren. Die Währung, die ihr während dem Event nicht ausgegeben habt, verfällt mit dem Ende des Events.

Die Optimierungsstation ist ein neues Menü, auf das über die Rekalibrierungsstation zugreifen könnt. Für den Betrieb sind neu eingeführte Ressourcenwährungen erforderlich. Mit der Optimierungsstation könnt ihr Ausrüstungsattribute über eure aktuellen Rolls hinaus bis zu ihren Obergrenzen verbessern. High End Waffen und Ausrüstung als auch Exotics können so optimiert werden. Jede Optimierung erfordert 4 unterschiedliche Ressourcen für ihren Abschluss. Die Kosten für die Optimierung steigen mit jeder Stufe an.

Neue Waffen, Ausrüstung etc.

Das Updae bringt auch neue Waffen und Ausrüstung ins Spiel. Darunter ein neues Gearset, neue Exotics und eine neue Fertigkeitenvariante. Bei der Skillvariante handelt es sich um einen Puls für ein einzelnes Ziel. Durch den Puls werden die gegnerischen Schwachstellen hervorgehoben. Die Anzahl der gezeigten Schwachstellen ist an die Skillstufen gebunden ( 1 => 1 / 6 => 3). Durch das schießen auf die Schwachstellen wird Kopftrefferschaden als Bonusschaden hinzugefügt. Der Pulse wird für alle Spieler angewandt.

Neue Direktive, Neue Events

Mit TU12 wird die „Special Ammo“ Direktive durch die „Ragers“ Direktive ersetzt. Und so funktioniert die neue Direktive: Das Töten eines Feindes füllt die Wutanzeige der Gegner. Ist die Anzeige nun vollständig aufgeladen, wird der Gegner als „wütend“ eingestuft. Dies führt dann zur Gewährung von Überheilung bei den wütenden Gegnern. Wenn ihr einen wütenden Feind eliminiert, beseitigt das die Wut der Feinde in der Nähe. Die Wut lässt zudem mit der Zeit nach. Eine leere Wutanzeige lässt einen wütenden Feind zur Normalität zurückkehren.

Zu den neuen Events zählen ein Weihnachtsevent, Golden Bullet und Outguard.

Global Event: Golden Bullet

Golden Bullet ist das erste Event in Season 4.  Das Event baut auf den folgenden Mechaniken auf:

  • Über dem Kopf eines Mitgliedes eines feindlichen Fireteams erscheint (ca. alle 10 Sekunden) ein Symbol, das aufgeladen wird.
  • Sobald das Symbol aufgeladen ist, erhält der NPC die sog. „Golden Bullet“. Diese verursacht übermäßigen Schaden.
  • Ihr solltet euch also nicht von diesem NPC treffen lassen.
  • Wenn ihr es schafft, diesen NPC mit dem Symbol über dem Kopf (egal ob am Laden oder vollständig aufgeladen) zu eliminieren, dann geht dieser Buff der „Golden Bullet“ auf euch für ca 3 bis 5 Sekunden über.  Zu den Verstärkungen zählen: sofortiges Nachladen, verstärkter Schaden und eine höhere Feuerrate. Schafft ihr es innerhalb der 3-5 Sekunden, in denen der Buff aktiv ist, einen weiteren Gegner auszuschalten, wird der Buff erneut gewährt.
Bekleidungsevent: Outguard

Das Bekleidungsevent „Outguard“ findet vom 22. Dezember 2020 bis zum 11. Januar statt. Nachfolgend könnt ihr einen Blick auf die Belohnungen werfen.

With it, you’ll be able to wring the full potential out of each piece of gear you use for a price. The Optimization Station will be a new menu accessible via the Recalibration Station and will require newly introduced resource currencies to operate.

In addition, we made the following changes based on PTS feedback:

    • Rogue Agents now drop a random stack of weapon or gear optimization materials.
    • The final rogue will drop a random stack of Tactical Assessment materials and a stack each of gear and weapon optimization materials.
