Because subtlety is overrated and ammo is reasonable within the post-apocalypse (so say Ubisoft), gamers can lug round their very own rotary-barrelled bullet hose in The Division 2 now. Available instantly for Year One Pass house owners or after finishing a collection of in-game challenges for everybody else, the Gunner is the newest Specialisation; a status class you choose when you hit the extent cap. While outlined by their weapon, the ammo will ultimately run dry, however Gunners can even fall again to a bag of high-tech methods. Below, a trailer for the brand new class and today’s patch notes abridged.
While I’m undecided if the Gunner is sufficient to make me surrender on the Grenadier class I do know and love (and its stylish Mateba-alike revolver), their Banshee potential seems enjoyable. An aggressive model of the enemy-scanning Pulse that stuns enemies in entrance of you even when they’re hiding behind cowl. In order to carry enemies nonetheless for even simpler bullet-hosing, Gunners additionally get riot foam grenades. Less instantly gratifying, maybe, however good to lock down targets. The solely factor I’m not offered on is that dinky little pistol. You’d assume the particular person with the largest gun would double down.
I’ve not acquired the game put in in the meanwhile to examine, however I’m hazarding a guess that it’ll take intensive grind to unlock the Gunner class if you happen to don’t personal the yr one cross. Better than being sealed away as DLC, I admit. Today’s massive patch additionally consists of rebalancing and quality-of-life enhancements for clans. Weekly tasks at the moment are simpler for smaller clans, you’ll be able to see who hasn’t logged on in a month so you’ll be able to boot them, and the clan MVP of the week will get a shiny medal for bragging rights amongst buddies.
Understating issues just a little, Ubisoft say that “All Specializations have received a talent tree rework”, which is a single-line be aware and a game-changing rebalance that we’ll seemingly be selecting aside every week from now. Needless to say, chances are you’ll wish to respec. They’ve additionally mounted some long-standing bugs with abilities, reworked how the Assault Drone picks targets and made the Firefly gadget much less ineffective. Players stomping Black Tusk within the Occupied Dark Zone must also watch their goal, as opening hearth on anybody outdoors of your group will flag you as rogue.
All good modifications for the looter-shooter, though I’m curious to see what future game modes seem like. Bring again the Roguelike-like random dungeons of Underground, says I.
