The Division’s next patch makes the Dark Zone not suck

It's beginning to look a lot like QA should have been called earlier.

As promised, Ubisoft is pushing out a Division patch this week — tomorrow, in fact. There’s a huge list of bug fixes in the patch notes, along with some hefty changes for the Dark Zone that are making for a very happy PvP playerbase. Of note:

  • Players can now heal other neutral players in the Dark zone
  • Players are now able to fast travel to Dark Zone checkpoints from outside the Dark Zone
  • Players killed in the Dark Zone now drop ammo, medkits and grenades, generated rather than taken from the dying players’ inventory
  • Players killed in the Dark Zone will lose less Dark Zone Funds and Experience
  • Dark Zone Funds and Experience rewards for surviving Rogue status and killing Rogue agents have been improved
  • For level 31 and 32 enemies, there’s now an increased drop rate of High-End items, High-End Division Tech Material, and Phoenix Credits; funds drop rates and quantity on NPCs has been reduced.
  • Rank 30 chests will now drop purple items instead of blue, and keys chests now have a chance to drop gold items.
