"Tom Clancy's The Division," the third-person shooter video game from Ubisoft, has had a smooth launch with very few issues compared to the rest of the video game launches.
Nevertheless, Ubisoft has released a new patch, 1.02, through which the company wants to fix bug and other issues that have sprung up since its release.
Though the game's loot system has been praised a lot, Attack of the Fanboy reports that the new update mentions the addition of "better loot in Challenge mode." Better loots always draw players to the game.
The update brings changes in Dark Zone multiplayer mode that will see players able to fast travel to Dark Zone checkpoints, but it comes with a rider, and it will only be when the players are coming from outside the Dark Zone that they can fast travel.
Also, the new patch increases the Dark Zone disconnect timer to 30 seconds, letting players stay longer in the game. Another welcome addition is that the players who get killed in Dark Zone will drop ammo, medkits and grenades. Such players will also lose less Dark Zone Funds and Experience.
Ubisoft has removed one of the patch updates due to client stability issues. This update would have increased Phonenix Credit drops from level 31 and 31 enemies. The patch notes also consist of several bug fixes.
