Whether you’re still battling away with Tom Clancy’s The Division, or yet to experience the open world action RPG, Ubisoft have today got you sorted.
Arriving today is a free update for The Division – Update 1.8 ‘Resistance’. Launching on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, Resistance is the largest free update to hit The Division so far, expanding the map with a whole new area that is accessible to all players. ‘West Side Pier’ will bring a variety of open world activities, with both PvE and PvP options available…
- Resistance (PvE mode) – In Resistance, the different factions are teaming up for the first time to fight against Division agents. Varied enemy NPCs continuously spawn in waves as up to four agents try to survive for as long as they can. Enemies drop resources that can be used to either set up defenses or extend the battlefield, offering more tactical options to the players. Players need to cooperate and find the best strategy to complete as many waves as possible and get greater rewards.
- Skirmish (PvP mode) – In Skirmish, two teams of four players compete against each other to get the highest number of kills before the time expires. Teams earn points each time a downed enemy player is eliminated.
- Additionally, “Resistance,” Update 1.8 will include a new social hub, improvements to the Underground DLC, a revamp of the rogue mechanics, as well as an optimisation of the gear system letting players improve the stats of their favourite equipment.
Alongside the free update, Ubisoft have also announced that The Division will be getting a free weekend. Hitting all platforms between 7th-10th December, if you haven’t yet jumped in and checked out what is on offer, the free weekend is your best opportunity. Furthermore there will also be free access to all of the expansions included in the Season Pass, with the likes of Underground, Survival and Last Stand becoming available between the 5th-10th December.
- Free DLC Week – From December 5th – 10th, all The Division players will get free, unlimited access to all three expansions included in Tom Clancy’s The Division’s Season Pass offer, including Underground, Survival and Last Stand. This free period will be available across all available platforms and accessible to free weekend players.
- Free Weekend – From December 7th – 10th, the full game will be accessible to new players on all available platforms. The current free trial offer, which gives players full access to the main game until they reach level 8 or complete six hours of playtime, will be on hiatus during the free weekend but reinstated once the free weekend promotion ends. Players who have downloaded the free trial before December 7th will see trial restrictions lifted until the end of the free weekend.
