The Division update 1.8.1 werd onlangs aangekondigd en inmiddels heeft Ubisoft deze update online gezet. Met update 1.8.1 krijgt de Xbox One versie van de game optimalisatie voor de Xbox One X. De update doet echter meer dan alleen dat. Zo verhoogt het de drop rate voor Classified Gear, worden er meer dan 40 nieuwe commendations toegevoegd en verschillende bugs worden opgelost.
Samen met deze update voegt Ubisoft ook nog twee Global Events toe en dat zijn ‘Blackout’ en ‘Onslaught’. Beide evenementen zijn vanaf eind april tot eind mei gratis beschikbaar, maar wat de startdatum precies is moet Ubisoft nog communiceren.
De update weegt een kleine 5GB en is nu beschikbaar om te downloaden. Hieronder alle details.

Ben nu een week terug aan het genieten van het spel. Blijft toch een super game.
In the darkzone kom ik enkel voor mijn weekly objective. Want anders smijt ik toch mijn kaske door de tv.
De tijd dat ik solo 4 man pakte is verleden tijd. Nu lukt 1 iemand niet meer. Maar blijft toch kicken op een extractiepunt 😀 wel niet zo goed voor het hart.
Legendary missions zijn wel tof. Enkel die nieuwe amherst appartment nog.
Underground blijft toch ook leuk met de toevoeging van stalkers. De laatste incursion is zelfs meer ‘raid’ waardig dan die van destiny 2.
@de-neo-phyte:
Zeker met je eens.. alleen grind mezelf gek voor goeie gear om ook is een keer roque in Mn eentje te kunnen gaan tegen andere maar ben beter jn een groep.. wat voor gear set had jij toen? Ik heb nu nomade van 282 en een striker build maar nog niks ge upgrade van 279
@85.145.248..xxx:
Ik ben teruggekomen met alphabridge set, savage gloves en barret chest. 275gs
Omgezet naar striker set plus sentry ninja bag 281 en gisteren omgezet naar sentry set plus striker ninja bag 280 omdat ik een god mdr gekregen heb.
Single shot is niet echt evident voor rush play maar wel voor die legendary missies.
Nog geen pvp build gemaakt maar heb wel de gear. Kruising nomade en .. dat ander pvp setje.
Zoveel om te experimenteren.
@de-neo-phyte:
Ja inderdaad .. ben sinds een week of 6 weer aan t spelen daarvoor 1,5 jaar niet meer aangeraakt en dan merk je wel dat de doorgewinterde speler in t voordeel is.. maar precies wat je zegt, oneindige keuzes.. zal ook is wat meer gaan experimenteren.. Thanx voor je tip
