The Division: Patch 1.02 behebt Exploit und ändert das Darkzone-Gameplay

Nachdem in den vergangenen Tagen die Ausnutzung eines Exploits, der den Spielern zahlreiche hochwertige Ausrüstungsgenstände und Phoenix Credits einbrachte, überhand nahm, hat Ubisoft das Problem mit dem Patch auf Version 1.02 für 'Tom Clancy's The Division' aus der Welt geschafft. Dazu kommen diverse weitere Fehlerbehebungen und einige Änderungen an der Darkzone. Unter anderem können Spieler nun andere neutrale Spieler in der Darkzone heilen. Zudem wurde der Disconnect-Timer für Logouts in der Darkzone auf 30 Sekunden erhöht, so dass Spieler nun eine halbe Minute nach dem Logout noch in der Darkzone angreifbar sind.

Darüber hinaus droppen in der Darkzone getötete Spieler ab sofort Munition, Granaten und Medi-Kits. Das Loot wird vom Server generiert und nicht dem getöteten Spieler abgenommen. Im Gegenzug verlieren getötete Spieler in Zukunft weniger Darkzone-Rangpunkte und weniger Darkzone-Credits.
