The Division 2 Update Changes the Summit, Time to Kill

The latest patch for The Division 2 is live. Title Update 11.1 focuses on making big changes to The Summit game mode. The patch also incorporates some changes that have been highly requested by players, including changes to shotgun damage in PvP, and increasing the chance at receiving Targeted Loot drops.

The Summit is a PvE game mode that was introduced to The Division 2 in Season 3. The Summit is a 100 floor Skyscraper located in Manhattan. Players climb floors, with each floor increasing in difficulty. As players progress up The Summit, they will encounter a randomly selected faction as well as enemies like Underground Cannibals, Ambushers, Raiders, and Rogue Agents. Every 10th floor the player reaches, they will face a boss while at the 100th floor, players will have to defeat three Hunters in order to clear the floor.

Players are now able open the Mega-Map and set their Personal Targeted Loot at any time in The Summit. Each player in the team of four will be able to choose whichever allocation they prefer. All players may have a different allocation selected. For their allocation players are able to choose their weapon types, gear slots, mods, brands, and gear sets.

Directives now increase the chance for Targeted Loot to drop. Each active Directive adds to the total drop chance for Targeted Loot. This change applies to every mode Directives are used in, including  missions, open world, and The Summit. Directives will still increase XP.  Targeted Loot Allocations have been added for  all gear sets, and applies to both the normal rotation and to The Summit’s Personal Targeted Loot.

While most changes in the patch were directed toward The Summit, There is a couple of changes to PVP that affect both the DZ and Conflict. The patch addressed an issue in Conflict that caused the Firewall specialization’s flamethrower to deal an excessive amount of damage. In addition to that fix, the update decreases the time-to-kill overall by 10 percent, and increased damage to shields by 25 percent. Shotgun damage has been decreased by 12.5 percent.

For PvP players, the time-to-kill and shotgun adjustments will definitely be interesting, and may change the meta. The real highlight of this update is the changes to The Summit. Hopefully the Title Update 11.1 will make The Summit more achievable for most players to finish.

The full Division 2 patch notes for Title Update 11.1 are below:

Difficulty & DirectivesWhen interacting with the lobby elevator, players will be able to select their desired difficulty and directives

  • All Difficulties are selectable: Normal – Legendary
  • For Directives, players are able to select from all 9 released Directives
    • Developer comment: We advise limiting yourself to 5 active Directives; use more at your own risk
    • NOTE: Missions and Global Difficulty still have the 5 seasonal directives

    The New Summit ExperiencePlayers can now ascend their customized Summit at their own pace.

    • With TU11.1, all players will initially start at floor 1 of The Summit
    • Progress is now saved more frequently at each elevator players encounter
      • Instead of the old Rally Points, now Players will resume where they left on subsequent playthroughs.
      • This means that you can stop at floor 38. Then the next day continue from the elevator at floor 37.
      • Example: player previously had a save at floor 60, they matchmake and finish floor 95 with a group, on their next playthrough the player would continue at the elevator on floor 93.
      • Example: player previously had a save at floor 81, they matchmake and finish floor 34 with a group, on their next playthrough the player would continue at the elevator on floor 81.

      Targeted LootAt any point while in The Summit, players can open the Mega-Map and set their personal Targeted Loot

      • For their allocation players can select from weapon types, gear slots, mods, brands, gear sets.
      • The Targeted Loot selection within Summit is personal (which means each player in a group of 4 could have a different allocation chosen)

      Threat ScalingThe higher players climb in The Summit, the more likely they are to encounter tougher enemies.

      • The chance for enemies to spawn as veteran or elite gradually increases per floor.
      • Lieutenant Squads occur more frequently as you ascend The Summit.
      • The Boss floors (10, 20, 30,…,90) feature multiple named hostiles on higher floors.

        • NOTE: Directives still increase XP as well.

        Targeted Loot

        • Added individual Targeted Loot Allocations for each Gear Set
