In its latest State of the Game stream , Ubisoft announced the latest patch will bring a new Dark Zone tier pitched for players with a DZ rank of 201+, where you can expect loot with of a score of 204-240 to drop. Of course, it won't be without its challenges, so expect new enemy NPCs of ranks 32-34 to be getting in your way.Players can also expect more generous loot across all missions and activities, with high-end weaponry and gear dropping more often in the Dark Zone. Although the previous patch has sought to fix the quanitity of high end drops, it certainly hasn't addressed the quality - and it's this that the studio wants to tackle now.While the update will be "no nerfs" and "all buffing" this time, the patch also expects to tackle some of the more prevalent bugs, including missing Base of Operations unlocks, and the broken mission doors.As yet there's no confirmed time for the roll out of patch 1.2, but as always, we'll keep you posted. The next Incursion coming to The Division is titled Broken Circle, wherein players will be shutting down surface-to-air missiles to further protect Manhattan. In IGN's Tom Clancy's The Division review , we said: "There’s definitely some decent meat to chew on in The Division , but it’s usually surrounded by too much gristle to enjoy it for long. Both in combat and out, there are some clearly good ideas, especially the tense and dangerous Dark Zone. But they’re not spread evenly or interwoven cleanly enough to form a cohesive, consistently enjoyable loop. Ultimately, The Division’s overly busy, conflicted design philosophies drown its best ingredients in a bland slurry that never quite comes together into a cohesive dish."
