The Division 2 UPDATE: Why fans are so excited for Tier 5 Tidal Basin release

The Division 2 Tidal Basin update for April 5 is just hours away from launch on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

The new Division 2 patch will introduce Tier 5 and Tidal Basin content for free, with a release time set for 9:30am, GMT.

The new game from Ubisoft Massive launched with plenty of endgame content included and made for a welcome change from some other looter shooter releases.

But what makes The Division 2 content update arriving April 5 so important is that it is laying the groundwork for another major milestone arriving later this month.

And this will only mean more stuff to do for gamers and gear to unlock for looter shooter fans.

The Division 2— Invasion Battle for D.C. arrives April 5th on all platforms and will introduce the following:

  • A new world tier WT5, with a new gear score cap to 500
  • Heroic difficulty
  • Three gear sets – Ongoing Directive, True Patriot, and Hard Wired
  • A new faction stronghold – Tidal Basin
  • Weekly Invaded Missions

This all kicks off with a new side mission, which will then make the new Tidal Basin Stronghold available to conquer.

Upon logging into D.C., you will be met with a brief radio call informing you of developments nearby that require your attention.

But as always, this new endgame content from Ubisoft is being used in a way to boost the game for their most dedicated fans.

Even if you have been playing casually since launch, you’re probably getting close to entering World Tiers.

But as always, this new endgame content from Ubisoft is being used in a way to boost the game for their most dedicated fans.

Even if you have been playing casually since launch, you’re probably getting close to entering World Tiers.

And one of the big highlights for tomorrow’s update is the expansion of World Tier 5.

A lot of this new content is available once you have progressed to World Tier 4 and achieved at least 425 gear score.

So this should leave plenty for those casual players to keep moving forward in the game, and give hardcore players something new to do.

Here’s more from Ubisoft, who confirmed in a new statement: “After completing Tidal Basin, Coordinator Manny Ortega at the Base of Operations will have intel on surrounding Black Tusk operations in D.C.

“This unlocks Weekly Invaded Missions, available on any difficulty! These missions will reset on a weekly cadence and apply to the previous story missions.

“If you are after the new gear sets, the Black Tusks will have a chance to drop pieces in World Tier 5.”

But while much of this will be seen as a decent boost for fans who have reached World Tier 4, something even bigger is being planned for later in April.

All of this new content is being used to get players ready for the game’s first Raid event.

The first Raid is scheduled to arrive on April 25 and will include eight players taking on the game’s most serious challenge yet.

While some of this new content will arrive for those who have bought a Season Pass, it will all be available to play for free eventually.

So all Division 2 players will need to start grinding the new gear to get ready for the special endgame content, which looks set offer mini-guns and a lot of chaos.
