The Division's First Major Patch Detailed

A couple of days ago we told you that The Division will be getting a update next week. Now, Ubisoft have released the details on patch 1.0.2 which are being implemented during server maintenance.

There are number of fixes to gameplay, graphics (for all platforms), UI, audio and a number of changes for the Dark Zone.

The number of fixes and changes is pretty long, but here some key changes that may interest - especially for those who can't get enough of the Dark Zone.

• Named enemies. will now drop better loot in Challenge mode than in Hard mode.
• Added more information for Daily missions on the Map
• Players can now heal other neutral players in the Dark zone, by using First Aid and Support Station skills
• Players are now able to fast travel to Dark Zone checkpoints, but only when coming from outside the Dark Zone
• Players killed in the Dark Zone will lose less Dark Zone Funds and Experience (Rogue and non-Rogue)
• Dark Zone Funds and Experience rewards for surviving Rogue status have been improved
• Dark Zone Funds and Experience rewards for killing Rogue agents have been improved
• Increased drop rate of High-End items from lvl 31 and 32 named NPCs in the Dark Zone.
• Increased drop rate of High-End Division Tech Material from lvl 32 named NPCs in the Dark Zone.

There are a whole lot more fixes listed and available to see on Ubisoft's official blog. The update should be available after the maintenance, and from the looks of things big improvements have been made, but only time will tell it they're well implemented.
