The Division 2 New Patch Update

Today, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 has received a brand-new game update, bringing players a variety of changes and balance adjustments. Balance adjustments include significant changes in dark zones and PVP. In addition, it is revealed that the upcoming Raid and Title Update 3 have been postponed until May to fully resolve various issues raised by the community.

Ubisoft has now delivered a spic and span update for The Division 2 only days after fix 1.34 landed. Fix 1.34 was not an immense update since it just added a couple of bug fixes to the game. The new update didn’t add any new substance of components. Well today fix 1.35 has landed and it resemble it’s business as usual thing. They have fixed an issue with imperceptible/invulnerable characters on consoles just as expanded the Golden Bullet Event by one more week.
