Heads up, agents! If you can’t login to The Division 2, it’s not just you. Ubisoft has taken the game’s servers down on May 26, and this is in order to release the latest major update, which is for Year 8 Season 1.3 (Y8S1.3).

As has been the case for the past few patch roll outs, the downtime for today will last longer than usual, which means the game will be inaccessible for a few hours.

Read on for the downtime schedule as well as info on Y8S1.3.

The Division 2 Servers Down on May 26 for a Few Hours

Per Ubisot, the downtime today starts at 3:30 am EDT/12:30 am PDT/9:30 am CEST/3:30 pm HKT. Expect the downtime to last for at least five hours, though it has been known to be extended every now and again. With that in mind, the game’s servers should be operational at 8:30 am EDT/5:30 am PDT/2:30 pm CEST/8:30 pm HKT.

Again, do not be surprised if the downtime is extended, as the last time, maintenance took way longer than normal.

As for the update roll out, here’s a look at the new event and rewards players can earn for the Rise Up event.

Rise Up Stretch Goals begin on June 2 and will be available until the end of the season.

Once you reach Tier 100 of the Season Pass, this extension track becomes accessible, giving you the opportunity to continue earning additional rewards. As always, everything in Rise Up Stretch Goals is available on the free track, so no Premium Battle Pass purchase is needed to take part.

This extension features two cache types, the Rise Up Cache and the Prestige Rise Up Cache. The Prestige version is earned in the same way as the standard cache and appears as the Tier 10 reward on the track, but it offers stronger guaranteed rewards and improved chances for bonus drops.

RISE UP CACHE CONTENTS

Each Rise Up Cache contains guaranteed seasonal items and crafting materials, with additional chance-based drops:

Vanity Items
High chance per cache
Backpacks – 2 pieces.
Arm Patches – 3 pieces.
Weapon Skins – 3 pieces.
Rare Named Items
Moderate drop chance
Lexington, Stack Broker, Turmoil, Caretaker, Shield Splinterer, Huntsman, Handbasket, The Harvest, Chill Out, Quickstep, First Bloom, Hunter-Killer, First Sight, Sleigher, Slingshot, Oh Carol, Festive Delivery, Snow Machine, Bell Ringer.
Seasonal and Special Exotics
Moderate drop chance
Agitator, Investor, Nemesis, Liberty, Chatterbox, Dodge City Gunslinger’s Holster, Ridgeway’s Pride.
Exclusive Exotics
Rare drop chance
Regulus, Eagle Bearer, Ravenous, Bighorn, Ouroboros, Provocator, Birdie’s Quick Fix, Tinkerer, Tempest, Blacklisters, Sheriff.

PRESTIGE MUTINY CACHE CONTENTS

The Prestige Rise Up Cache upgrades the standard Rise Up Cache with stronger guaranteed rewards and improved chances for bonus drops.

Each Prestige Rise Up Cache also contains guaranteed seasonal items and crafting materials, with additional chance-based drops:

  • Vanity Items – Guaranteed drop.
  • Rare Named Items – Guaranteed drop.
  • Seasonal and Special Exotics – High drop chance with each cache.
  • Exclusive Exotics – Moderate drop chance with each cache.

If the downtime is extended, we’ll update the article to reflect it. While we are getting more updates this year, don’t expect a new Raid.
