Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment studio has shared The Division 2 PTS Phase 3 patch notes, as it continues to develop the game’s next major title update! Aside from the gameplay tweaks, the studio has also listed the known issues associated with the patch from PTS Phase 2.

Also of note, the studio announced that all the changes described in the Phase 2 Check-In, and the patch notes listed below will become available in Title Update 15 (TU15) when it’s released. While that might be disappointing for some, the studio says this is the only way they can ensure the stability of the build, and let the players test all the other changes made following Phase 2.

The Division 2 PTS Phase 3 Patch Notes:

We found the reason behind a prominent Delta error. It was caused by talents with stacking ability of gear and weapons. Therefore, we have removed the “Heartbreaker” set and the “Catharsis” mask from the PTS saves and from most places we could in time. If you come across it in anyway, we ask you not to use it. Fixing this issue is the number one priority for the TU15 release.
