Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 just received another title update. Patch 16.1 went live a few hours ago, and is mostly focused on bug fixes. While it does make a handful of balancing changes, don’t expect any major tweaks.

The developer significantly reduced the efficiency of Shrapnel Trap in PvP, so that players are less likely to use it. This change is only temporary and a proper solution should be in the works. The HP of the Tidal Basin Legendary Stronghold Boss weak points has been reduced as well.

The bug where the game will reward players with Legacy or Season 9 Hidden Alliance caches, instead of Season 10 Price of Power caches, is finally addressed. More of the bug fixes are mentioned below.

  • Fixed an issue where Premium Credits were spent instead of Textiles when buying from the in-game store.
  • Fixed an issue where “Add” and “Remove” options would appear when attempting to buy items more expensive than the premium credits balance.
GEAR

  • Fixed an issue where All High-End Assault Rifles had Rifle damage as a Core Attribute.

  • Fixed an issue where Dye slots weren’t functional on gear pieces from the Umbra Initiative Gear Set and Brazos de Arcabuz Brand Set.

  • Fixed an issue where Busy Little Bee had two icons in the Expertise Pistols category.
UI and VISUAL
  • Fixed an issue where the "Show the Signature Weapon" Option is reset to default every time the user changes server.

  • Fixed an issue where the icon for the Tendrils unique weapon skin was missing the drum mag.
