Ubisoft has officially revealed all the details of what’s coming to The Division 2 post launch.
The Division 2’s Year 1 of content boasts an impressive slate. As previously revealed, all major additions will be free to all players, but that’s not to say season pass holders won’t have anything to look forward to.
Year 1 will see the release of three story episodes. Each episode brings new story missions, and new game modes. Over the course of the year, three new Specializations (essentially late-game classes) will be added to the game, each with its own signature weapon, and skill tree.
Dubbed D.C. Outskirts: Expeditions, the first episode will send players chasing down members of the Outcasts, and the Black Tusk in a fight to liberate the surrounding areas of Washington.

Year 1 Pass holders will be able to play the story content seven days before everyone else. They’ll also get immediate access to the three Specializations coming during the year. Non-pass holders will have to grind in order to unlocked them.
The Year 1 Pass comes with Classified Assignments, which are bite-sized story missions that will shed some light about the last hours before the fall of the city. Each Assignment awards an exclusive backpack trophy for those who complete them.
Season pass holders will also have access to an extra Bounty per week, and an extra Project each day until March 1, 2020.
Ubisoft also revealed how the game will be monetised post launch. First, The Division 2 will offer skins and cosmetic items for players willing to pay real money for them. The developer said that players will be able to earn cosmetics during the normal course of play, but will have the ability to directly buy what they want using real money.
Shortly after launch, The Division 2 will introduce loot boxes. Called Apparel Caches, these randomised boxes will too be strictly cosmetic, and will likewise be purchasable using real-world money. Two types of these exist at present: the standard Caches, and more specialised event Caches that will only be available during that event.
Stash size is another detail the publisher confirmed. Though extra stash slots are offered as a bonus for Ultimate Edition owners, Ubisoft said they won’t be selling stash space. What Ultimate Edition players are getting is simply a shortcut to a late-game stash size upgrade.
Should stash space become a problem for players down the line, the developer will look into solutions to be offered for free.
Ubisoft has released details of the Division 2 Year 1 roadmap as anticipation for the looter shooter reaches its climax. Eight-player raids, faction strongholds, and what Ubisoft is calling ‘episodes’ are just a few of the activities that we can play in the coming year. We’ll also be getting new The Division 2 Specializations, which is Ubisoft’s lingo for new signature weapons to obtain and skill trees to master.
As many fans of Tom Clancy will be pleased to know, all this Year 1 content is free to any player who buys The Division 2. If you’re among those who bought the annual pass, however, then you have not been left out in the cold and will get access to smaller bits of content, alongside access to major expansions seven days early.
While plenty of details have been released to whet your appetite, there is also plenty more to come. So, to help keep you on top of all the announcements about The Division 2 Year 1 roadmap, we’ve assembled this nifty roundup of everything we know. Read on for all the latest information on this year’s seasonal expansions, raids, Specializations, and their various release dates. Of course, we shall also keep this up to date as and when Ubisoft release more details.
The Division 2 Year 1 roadmap release date
Ubisoft is set to launch the looter shooter worldwide on March 15. If you’re curious as to how The Division 2 release times affect you, then we got you covered there. Much like Respawn is doing with Apex Legends, though, you’ll be spending some time with the base game before various goodies from the roadmap come into effect. That said, you won’t have to wait long as our first stop on the roadmap, Tidal Basin, will be coming “shortly after release,” according to a reveal trailer.
The Division 2 Year 1 roadmap faction strongholds
Throughout The Division 2’s opening year more strongholds will be added to the mix. Strongholds are more significant than the standard main missions you’ll be used to, but they still hold much of the same mechanics such as difficulty settings and checkpoints. They’re also heavily incorporated into the story’s overarching narrative. Do keep in mind though that each of these strongholds requires you to complete a bunch of other missions before those behemoths topple.
Our first faction stronghold will be Tidal Basin and, as previously mentioned, it should arrive soon after launch. The Black Tusks faction holds this specific beast of a fort.
We're looking at what's possibly the best Assassin solo build, which makes use of Zero's sniper rifle skills for massive damage. Assassin Zer0 the Assassin is a character of mystery in Borderlands 2. His face is not visible, he doesn't really talk, and even has stealth abilities.So is Zero the Assassin a character class that should remain hidden and fight from far away? Borderlands 2 zero sniper build reddit. It certainly can be!You can spec your character so that you're a high rate, damage per second (DPS) sniping build that can destroy enemies by blasting their critical areas fast and efficiently using the Sniping Skill Tree.You can also say 'eff that' and take up arms in the Bloodshed Skill Tree for the best Assassin Melee Build - and when bundled with Cunning Skill Tree abilities, it becomes even stronger.We aren't looking at a melee build though.

The Division 2 Year 1 roadmap raids
From hardened MMOs like World of Warcraft to more streamlined offerings like Destiny, raids have always been a vital part of the PvE experience. While we did get incursions in The Division, eight-player raids have made their way into Ubisoft’s follow-up. Chatting to YouTuber Arekkz Gaming, creative director Julian Gerighty and game director Mathias Karlson explains that The Division 2 raids will operate on the same dime as other games. “We built raids to have bespoke mechanics, bespoke boss fights, and trying to do more with what we have in the game: Specializations, RPG systems, our shooting systems, eight players – working with groups, splitting up groups. You can expect that social puzzling element.”
Our first peek at what a raid in The Division 2 will look like will come with Operation Dark Hours, which will host up to eight players in what appears to be Dulles International Airport. A specific release date isn’t available, but Ubisoft says that it will follow the Tidal Basin stronghold, which was stated to come soon after launch.
The Division 2 Year 1 roadmap episodes
Episodes are free content updates that will introduce narratives, missions, PvE, and PvP modes alongside new Specializations.
The first of these is set for Summer of this year and is called DC Outskirts Expeditions – it will feature two additional main missions set in the muggy, forested areas around the city. The Summer episode will also introduce a new game mode that involves players forming an expedition to search for a lost convoy.
Next up is an episode called Pentagon: The Last Castle that will release in Autumn. That event will introduce new mainline missions that further the game’s narrative. On top of that, it’ll be neat storming the Pentagon to unveil what secrets lie beneath.
Division 2 Year 1 Pass Roadmap
The final chapter of the year will release in Winter and will tie up the first chapter of The Division 2’s story. Details about what’s to come are thin on the ground, but we’ll update this when we know more.

Division 2 Year 1 Pass Content
Throughout the Division 2’s first year we’ll be getting three new endgame Specializations. These act as the game’s character classes and introduce a new skill tree to unlock alongside a new signature gun to help with the game’s toughest fights. Details about these new classes are slim right now, but we’ll keep this updated the more we find out.
