The Division 2 has been taken offline for server maintenance… again.
The Division 2 server maintenance kicked off at 8.30am UK time and is expected to last for three hours.
This means downtime should end by 11.30am BST at the latest, although it’s often back online early.
Ubisoft announced the news on Twitter, warning fans late last night about the inconvenience.
“Agents! Maintenance incoming tomorrow, April 18th at 09:30 AM CEST / 03:30 AM EDT / 12:30 AM PDT, approximately 3 hours.”
Needless to say, the server downtime coincides with the release of a brand new update and batch of patch notes.
The latest patch fixes a whole load of issues, including a problem with players getting stuck after revival.
There’s also a fix for problems with characters not receiving Snitch Heroic bounties.
Some of the more beneficial changes relate to the overall difficulty of the game, especially on higher settings.
NPC damage and health has been lowered above normal difficulty, although more will spawn.
According to the patch notes, the difficulty has “significantly decreased” in hard mode and moderately reduced in Challenge mode.
Damage output has also been reduced for named bosses, so you can expect an easier ride.
Check out the full list of Division 2 patch notes below.
