New Mortal Kombat Movie to Be Rated R, Will Feature Fatalities

  by   Alex Co  
July 12, 2019 6:38 pm in News

Did you know there’s a new Mortal Kombat movie that’s being made? While video game movie adaptations haven’t exactly been masterpieces, the 1995 film was actually (in my opinion) one of the better ones that was released, though it didn’t really feature any of the franchise’s trademarked gore and fatalities.

That won’t be the case with this new Mortal Kombat movie, though. Over on Twitter (via PCGamer), movie scribe Greg Russo mentioned that the new Mortal Kombat movie will not only be rated R (18 and up), but it will also feature Fatalities — a first for the movie version of the game.

Since it’s already been stated by other members of the team, I’m gonna put this one to bed. MK WILL be R-Rated and for the first time EVER, FATALITIES will FINALLY be on the big screen (and no I’m not gonna say which ones) You’ll just have to wait for the movie & see!!! 😉

Will we finally see Sub-Zero’s spine-ripping death blow? Maybe something more gory? Given how good CGI is these days, the sky’s the limit.

The new Mortal Kombat movie has started filming in Australia this year, and is due out sometime in March 5, 2021.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Multiplayer Info Blowout Based on the Gunfight Reveal

  by   Alex Co  
3:31 pm in News

In case you didn’t know, Infinity Ward (finally!) showed us our first Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer gameplay yesterday by having Twitch influencers livestream an hour’s worth of the game’s new 2v2 mode, Gunfight. While seeing the game in action was great and all, there were a ton of Modern Warfare multiplayer info that wasn’t pointed out which fans might like to know.

We checked the gameplay videos floating about, and listed down the Modern Warfare multiplayer info that’s available now ahead of the big August 1 reveal! The info listed below are confirmed or official, so these are all stuff we can expect to be available in the game when it launches this October.

Modern Warfare multiplayer info:

  • Peek and lean mechanic confirmed
  • Sniper glint will be back (previously seen in Infinite Warfare)
  • You can trade kills (meaning the both of you die at the same time)
  • Quickscoping is back but it’s a lot slower now (watch it in action here)
  • Riot shield confirmed to be in multiplayer (screenshot shown above was from yesterday’s gameplay reveal)
  • You won’t be able to choose weapons and loadouts in Gunfight, each round, all players will spawn with the same loadouts

Modern Warfare multiplayer info from PrestigeIsKey (watch it here):

Gunfight Mode confirmed details:

  • – Maps smaller than the face-off maps from MW3
  • – One life, no health regeneration/healing
  • -No create a class, they are randomly generated for every two rounds and everyone starts out with them.
  •  – Rounds are extremely fast, 20 to 40 seconds
  • – Will feature a tournament mode with brackets. The reward for winning the tournament are TBA
  • – If nothing happens within the first 40 seconds of the map a flag will spawn in the map and whoever captures it wins. This is to avoid camping in the mode.
  • Maps from the stream – King, Pine, Stack – Speculates there may be day/night variation of a map since the maps during their testing specified “day”
  • – Set Weapons can be picked up on the map

Modern Warfare multiplayer info from Drif0r (watch it here):

  • 100 percent confirmed, no Specialists in multiplayer; all Operators are the same
  • You can mount every weapon (no bipods needed) on vertical or horizontal surfaces to reduce recoil; except pistols and launchers
  • Night Vision Goggles returning and can be toggled on and off at any time like in Call of Duty 4, and there are some maps that will need NVG for you to see
  • Almost all doors can be opened and closed in multiplayer
  • Most maps are designed for three-lanes (like with Treyarch’s CODs), but there are some with four lanes
  • Map sizes are 2-3x the size of Shipment from COD4 and tend to be rectangular in shape
  • Guns are all real-life guns (brand, etc.)
  • No killstreaks available in Gunfight mode
  • Players can make their own March Madness-type tournament bracket for Gunfight
  • Game was playable on PS4, Xbox One and PC at the Infinity Ward studio
  • Grenades are locked upon spawn to avoid players chucking them upon spawn in Gunfight mode
  • FOV sliders, and other graphic options are available on PC (no word yet on consoles)
  • Weapons were locked down in terms of customization, only because they were still working on it. Boat loads of attachments, a lot of real world weapons to pick from.
  • Time to kill closer to Call of Duty: Ghosts depending on the weapon used
  • Character health was reminiscent Of MW3, die quicker than BO4, Ghost and even WWII

Don’t forget, there’s a ton more info regarding multiplayer that will be revealed on August 1 and beyond.

Mortal Kombat 11 Nightwolf Image Released

  by   James Lara  
1:36 pm in News

Earlier this week, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon tweeted out a teaser image for Mortal Kombat 11 upcoming DLC character, Sindel. While fans are certainly waiting anxiously for the trailer to drop, it would appear that Ed Boon isn’t quite ready for that and has instead released yet another teaser image, this time for the character Nightwolf. Below, Boon has given us our first-ever Mortal Kombat 11 Nightwolf image.

You can take a look at Nightwolf down below, and as I previously speculated he certainly is looking much older than his previous iteration.


If we continue to get these small teases, then we can expect the next one to be about Spawn as he is the last so-far confirmed DLC character apart of the Mortal Kombat Fighter Pack. Although its not confirmed, we speculate we will see a full reveal during this years Comic-Con, which is less than a week away. It certainly would make the most sense the debut these characters there with a trailer along with some potential gameplay, although again nothing has been officially confirmed.

We will be sure to update you all once we get an official reveal.

Anthem Cataclysm Map Revealed (Potential Spoilers)

  by   Alex Co  
9:51 am in News

With Anthem’s Cataclysm event now being tested on the PTS (Private Test Server), we now have an idea on the new content and areas freelancers will be able to navigate in once the event is finally rolled out by BioWare. Below, there are two Anthem Cataclysm map images, and if you’re the type of person who wants to discover things on their own, you might want to check out now, or at the very least, don’t check the second image.

Note that this is from the PTS build, and is NOT considered final unless otherwise mentioned by BioWare/EA.

anthem cataclysm map

There’s some sort of irony here with that one area being called “Hope Shattered,” no? If you want a more detailed look at the Anthem Cataclysm map, check it out below and it’s definitely way more spoiler-ish given it marks certain areas. The map below is accurate as of July 3, 2019.

anthem cataclysm map

Let’s hope that BioWare has a lot more stuff lined up since I see long-time Anthem players blowing through whatever new stuff that’s shown in this map in less than a week or two.

Check out the links below for more Anthem PTS info.

Rainbow Six Siege Chat Glitch Fix Deployed, Ban Wave Happening

  by   Alex Co  
July 11, 2019 7:02 pm in News

Who likes cheaters? No one, right? Even cheaters don’t like fellow cheaters. If you’re a Rainbow Six Siege player, and you’ve encountered the Rainbow Six Siege chat glitch or exploit that players use to crash games, then rejoice! Ubisoft has acted on it, and bans are coming!

Over on the Rainbow Six subreddit, Ubisoft has announced that a Rainbow Six Siege chat glitch fix has been deployed, and that a “ban wave” is coming!

Chat Symbol Exploit Ban Wave on 7/10
by inRainbow6

We have now deployed the fix for the chat symbol exploit.

Beginning tomorrow, we will initiate a ban wave in accordance with the following section from the Code of Conduct.

FORBIDDEN CONDUCT:

The following actions violate the Code of Conduct, and can lead to disciplinary action in accordance with the Disciplinary Policy outlined below.

Any conduct which interrupts the general flow of Gameplay in the Game client, forum, or any other Ubisoft medium.

These bans are targeting players that abused the chat symbol exploit to crash matches. They will have varying lengths, depending on the frequency and severity of the exploit’s usage.

This is our next step towards sanctioning players that knowingly and deliberately take advantage of exploits to the detriment of the overall match.

This is definitely a good move, and if you’re one of the exploiters affected, please don’t message Ubisoft to complain, alright?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Free Maps Coming Post-Launch, “Unified Progression Across Modes’ Mentioned

  by   Alex Co  
6:22 pm in News

With Activision confirming that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare won’t have a traditional Season Pass which has been the norm for the franchise for more than a decade, some might be wondering whether we’ll be getting any new maps at all, and whether they’d be free. Well, the short answer is: yes, and Activision just confirmed this Modern Warfare free maps thing today.

Must-See Modern Warfare Reading:

In a press release announcing the “Multiplayer Universe” reveal will take place this August 1, the publisher mentions Modern Warfare “seeks to unite the community” with cross-play (which has been announced before), and how the removal of the traditional Season Pass will help Infinity Ward deliver free maps, content and more post-launch! Here’s the full quote from the press release:

As players enlist in the heart-racing Modern Warfare story, multiplayer continues the experience as players head online into the ultimate playground for the global balance of power. Featuring unified progression across modes, Modern Warfareseeks to unite the community with plans to support cross-play across platforms and the removal of the traditional season pass in order to deliver a greater mix of more free maps, content and community events post-launch.

Another thing to note there is the mention.of “unified progression across modes.” It’s not explained in the press release (most likely will be talked about come August 1), but it seems to me that playing through Spec Ops will somehow help you progress in multiplayer and so on. Perhaps playing the single-player campaign will contribute something to it as well? Or maybe there’s going to be one specific character you’re logged into, and everything you do progresses that overall character or profile’s rank.

Let’s hope the promise of free maps in Modern Warfare are actually, y’know, free maps, and not the same maps but with different lighting which is what Treyarch has been doing for Black Ops 4.

Do you believe Infinity Ward will deliver on the promise of free maps for Modern Warfare or Activision won’t let them?

The Division 2 Down on Xbox One, Shows Error Bravo 09, Here’s a Quick Fix

  by   Alex Co  
5:51 pm in News

If you’re an Xbox One gamer, and you suddenly can’t connect to The Division 2, or can’t log in, it’s not you, but it seems to be an issue with Xbox Live. Multiple players have reported  issues and that it’s The Division 2 down time.

Update (1/18/2020): If Google brought you here, this is the latest update on The Division 2 servers.

According to users, they’re getting error “Bravo 09,” which seems to be a common issue with the game. Over on The Division 2 subreddit, some users have reported on how to fix it, though it’s not guaranteed to work 100 percent.

Here’s what user TightAustinite had to say regarding how he fixed his problem:

I find if you just launch anything else that requires Gold/internet, like Amazon Prime to the dashboard, then flip back over to the game it works.

Saves time by not having to fully reload the game.

User energized had this to say:

Went to twitch, then switched back to Division, weird animation came up that said “Downloading patch update” less than 5 seconds, then it reloads the game normally!

Based on the feedback, it’s more of an issue with Xbox Live than with Ubisoft’s servers. Checking the Xbox Live status page, it mentions there are issues (tags it as “Limited”) when it comes to “Purchase and Content Usage – Buying items, redeeming codes, or downloading purchases.” Other than that, it’s working as intended — at least on the status page.

For those affected, did you buy anything  in The Division 2 in-game? Perhaps this is what’s causing the issue. Once we know more, we’ll update the post.

In the meantime, if you’re affected by it, go read up on the title update 5 patch notes right here to know what’s coming to the game soon.

Marvel’s Avengers Gameplay Debut Set for July 18 at SDCC, but Will Be for Attendees Only

  by   Alex Co  
5:22 pm in News

When Square Enix unveiled Marvel’s Avengers at this year’s E3, there was a private, behind closed doors gameplay demo that was shown to press attendees that unfortunately, wasn’t made public (we catch a glimpse of it via a leak). Now for those looking forward to actual gameplay, you’ll be able to catch the Marvel’s Avengers gameplay debut next week — provided you’re attending the San Diego Comic-Con, and you’re able to attend the Marvel’s Avengers panel.

In a press release, Square Enix announced the publisher’s plans for this July 18, at the San Diego Comic-Con. And as you can guess, the chief draw here is the Avengers gameplay debut!

Panels:

  • Marvel’s Avengers Panel (Thursday, July 18, 1:30 pm in Hall H): Join Shaun Escayg, Creative Director at Crystal Dynamics, and the performance cast of Marvel’s Avengers for a special presentation that will include new information and the first public gameplay reveal for Hall H attendees only.
  • Life is Strange™ Panel (Saturday, July 20, 12:30 pm, in Room 5AB): Join Raoul Barbet, Co-Creative Director and Jean-Luc Cano, Lead Writer of Life is Strange & Life is Strange 2, for an in-depth look at the genesis of Life is Strange 2. Experience the backstory behind the narrative, discover behind-the-scenes secrets and see an exclusive glimpse of the next chapter.

It’s unknown yet whether we’ll get a livestream or if Square Enix will release a trailer after the panel to let us non-attendees see it. Given there’s no mention of that at all, I’d hazard a guess that we won’t see it in an official capacity at the event. But then again, there’s always leaks, though.

Aside from the panels, Square Enix will also have autograph sessions, photo ops and giveaways at SDCC, so if you’re attending, make sure to check them out.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Multiplayer Gameplay Videos Now Up (Gunfight Mode)

  by   Alex Co  
3:34 pm in News

Earlier today, Infinity Ward showcased our first-ever look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer footage by having a bunch of Twitch influencers livestream the new Gunfight mode. Now, if you weren’t around to watch it, don’t fret! Below, we’ve embedded every second of the Modern Warfare multiplayer gameplay that was shown earlier.

Watch WORLD PREMIERE COD MW GUNFIGHT STREAM! (Full MP UNIVERSE Reveal on 8/1) #COD_Partner from LEGIQN on www.twitch.tv

Watch COD MW GUNFIGHT STREAM! Full MP universe reveal on 8/1! #COD_Partner from CouRageJD on www.twitch.tv

Watch COD MW GUNFIGHT MODE REVEAL (FULL MP UNIVERSE REVEAL ON 8/1) #COD_PARTNER from TeePee on www.twitch.tv

Watch Modern Warfare 2v2 Gunfight Reveal & Full MP Universe Reveal (August 1st)! #COD_Partner from Syndicate on www.twitch.tv

As you can see, there are literally hours of Modern Warfare multiplayer gameplay available. However, given they’re all from the same match, you’re basically watching the same thing but on different perspectives. Nonetheless, we do see the weapons demoed, the confirmation of Tactical and Lethal grenades, and possibly the best part: no Specialist abilities whatsoever.

If that wasn’t enough to scratch your itch, remember that Infinity Ward will be doing the multiplayer reveal for Modern Warfare this coming August 1.

What do you think of the gameplay shown today? Also, is Gunfight something you’d want to play or will it be quickly forgotten in favor of TDM and the rest of the staple modes?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Captain Price Blackout Skin Modern Warfare Pre-Order Bonus Confirmed, Check Out the Trailer and Image

  by   Alex Co  
2:50 pm in News

Remember when we posted a report the other day that Activision has accidentally mentioned how one of the perks for pre-ordering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare via the Black Ops 4 in-game store netted you a Captain Price character skin? Well, today, that Black Ops 4 Captain Price Blackout skin has been confirmed, and we even get a new trailer for it too!

Remember: this Captain Price skin is only available for use in Blackout and not in multiplayer. If you’re curious what it looks like, YouTuber PrestigeIsKey has shared an image of it which you can see below. (Note: Activision has sent us the official Captain Price image for Blackout, which can be seen below).

Can’t say with 100 percent certainty, but I think this is the first time a Call of Duty character from one studio appeared in another Call of Duty studio’s game. If so, maybe this is the start of something new, and I’m not complaining if it is.

Those who pre-order Modern Warfare in the Black Ops 4 in-game store will get the Blackout skin ASAP and can use it now.

Report: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Might Be Releasing on Steam According to Nvidia

  by   James Lara  
12:11 pm in News

While official confirmation (and logic) have only mentioned that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare would just be launching on Activision’s own service, Battle.net, it appears that there may indeed be a Modern Warfare Steam release.

In a recent giveaway announcement by Nvidia, the company revealed that they were giving winners a $50 Steam credit towards a purchase of a supported RTX (real time ray tracing) title. All you had to do was simply retweet and DM (direct message) them on Twitter which title you’d be getting as shown below.


And in case you couldn’t catch that, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was indeed apart of the many images flashing in that .gif that do support RTX. To take this a step further, Nvidia even replied back to announce one of the many winners, one of them saying they would purchase Modern Warfare via Steam.

It is likely that this is a mistake, considering that Activision did confirm that the title would be launching on Battle.net from a previous press release, although it’s odd to give money away for a platform that doesn’t hold said specific game.

The title features a fully-optimized PC version, developed in partnership with Beenox, which will be available exclusively on Blizzard Battle.net®**, Blizzard Entertainment’s online gaming platform.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is set to launch on PC exclusively on Battle.net for now, with consoles (PS4, Xbox One) on October 25. Don’t forget to check back later in the day for the official multiplayer gameplay reveal.

Man of Medan Multiplayer Confirmed. Check Out It Out in This New Trailer

  by   Alex Co  
10:29 am in News

If you’re a fan of Supermassive Games’ Until Dawn, you might have heard of the studio’s next project, “The Dark Pictures Anthology – Man of Medan.” While it’s been known for quite some time now, Bandai Namco Entertainment has today announced the Man of Medan multiplayer modes! Yes, the horror game will feature some sort of multiplayer.

In the press release, Bandai Namco not only shared a new Man of Medan multiplayer trailer, but also the two modes — Shared Story Mode, and Movie Night Mode.

Shared Story Mode

  • Share the story simultaneously with a friend in two-player online co-op

  • Both players explore the world, make choices and perform actions that affect the outcome of the story and the fate of their respective characters

  • Traverse scenes through a different perspective from the single-player experience—sometimes together, sometimes apart—in totally separate scenes revealing new information, locations and scares

 

Movie Night Mode

  • Play locally in a group of up to five players with one controller, with each player taking charge of the movement, decisions and choices of one of the five main characters

  • Players can choose between saving themselves, or trying to keep their friends’ characters alive

  • At the end of each playthrough, actions and impacts will be judged – with achievements & rewards for each player

Here’s the game description if you’re not familiar with the game:

Developed by Supermassive Games, the critically-acclaimed studio behind the cult-classic thriller Until Dawn™, The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of standalone cinematic horror games linked by one common element: that every playable character can live and every playable character can die throughout the story, yielding numerous possible endings and near-limitless replayability. Man of Medan will be anchored by a talented cast of actors, including stars Shawn Ashmore (X-Men, Quantum Break) and Pip Torrens (The Crown, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), the latter of which will be a consistent character, the Curator, in all games in the anthology. Both actors’ likenesses will be rendered in vivid detail.

Man of Medan will be released this August 30, 2019 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Battlefield 5 Update Xbox One Hotfix 4.02 Now Out, Here’s the File Size and What It Does

  by   Alex Co  
6:12 am in News

As expected from yesterday’s announcement, there’s a new Battlefield 5 update Xbox One hotfix out now (PS4 and PC didn’t get one), and it’s for stability improvements. Clocking in at just 180MB, this Battlefield 5 Xbox One update is for fixing the crashing issues that got introduced in Chapter 4.

Battlefield 5 update Xbox One hotfix 4.02 patch notes:

  • The Xbox Hotfix is intended to address the persistent stability issues that have been frequent since the start of Chapter 4. Our previous Hotfix was only partially successful in resolving mid-round stability on this platform, but also unintentionally introduced new crashing issues during the loading stage. This was occurring as players joined servers, and could also occur during round transitions to the next map.

And that’s pretty much it, which is to be expected, since we did get that meaty patch a week ago. Let’s hope this resolves any stability issues the Xbox One version is suffering from.

The Ultimate Experience and How to Achieve It at Its Greatest: All You Need to Know About FIFA and FIFA Coins

  by   MP1st  
5:44 am in News

Are you passionate about football? When being a child you’ve always dreamt of kicking like Ronaldo or passing like Messi? What about playing on a high ranked stadium like Santiago Bernabeu or Old Trafford? No matter the age, Electronic Arts (EA) has offered the perfect solution by releasing the FIFA series (a series of football simulation video games) in 1993 and an yearly update to it ever since.  

Why would you want to have such a game in your house?

  • You can play it on a various number of devices such as PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows;
  • It can be played by one or more players;
  • You can choose to play with first class teams like Standard Liège, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester Utd, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Bayern, Juventus, AC Milan, Ajax, Sporting CP, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and also national teams;
  • Starting with FUT 19 (FIFA Ultimate Team) there were included also a few female teams;
  • Playing this game gives you the opportunity to fulfil your dream by being the teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski, Mohamed Salah, Mesut Özil, Paul Pogba, Manuel Neuer or Zlatan Ibrahimović;
  • You have the chance of playing on famous stadiums, homes to Premier League teams: Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Anfield, Cardiff City Stadium, Old Trafford, Allianz Arena or Wembley Stadium.

What are FIFA coins and how can we buy them? 

As all the games on the market, FIFA also has certain features that can be used only by “unlocking” them with FIFA coins. But what are they and where can you buy FIFA coins? Actually, the FUT coin is the trade coin of the game. If you want to be the lucky possessor of such coins, you either have to earn them by playing FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT), buying and selling (trading) within the Transfer Market or buy them from trusted partners.  

How can a player earn or buy FIFA coins? 

You can earn the FUT coins by doing the following actions:

  • Firstly, by playing FUT matches;
  • Secondly, by completing SBCs (Squad Building Challenges) that have FIFA coins as reward;
  • And lastly, by doing transactions on the Transfer Market.

And there’s also the easiest possibility of acquiring FIFA coins: buying them through trusting partners. 

Why do you need FIFA coins?

  • When you want to play with squads having the best players, use the FUT coins and buy packs like Rare Players Pack, Rare Electrum Players Pack or League Prime Players Pack;
  • If you’ve always dreamt of having a squad built up by you, where you can play with Ronaldo in the morning match and Neymar in the evening one, buying or selling whomever you want to whenever it’s convenient, then you need to  have FIFA coins;
  • Every football fan has heard about “La Croqueta” which is Andrés Iniesta’s signature move, Kylian Mbappé’s “Little Brother”, Neymar’s “Hang Loose” or Roberto Firmino’s “Matador”. Who wouldn’t want to see and make use of Cristiano Ronaldo’s “Siii” trademark jump performed by him with a teammate or enjoying the view of Mohamed Salah performing his famous “sujud”? Oh, well, in order to unlock all this features you need FIFA coins.

So, if you want to enjoy the best football video game ever with its full features, buy FIFA coins and get to Premier League.

  by   Alex Co  
5:13 am in News

Those playing Anthem on PC, and is testing things out in the PTS (Private Test Server), you might have noticed a new Anthem PTS update has been rolled out by BioWare. The studio has made some bug fixes and changes, as well as listing the known issues.

Known Issues

  • Javelin Specific Challenges – Currently these show no rewards under the challenge, but you will be awarded with a warchest upon completion.
  • Challenge Rewards – Upon completing a challenge, you won’t always immediately see the item you’re rewarded. At the end of expedition screen, the way to tell if you’ve gotten a challenge reward is by looking at the item level. A reward from a challenge will be either 66 for Masterwork, or 80 for Legendary.
  • Seasonal Store Icons – The seasonal store currently has placeholder icons for many of the items you can purchase with crystals. Players will need to hover over each one to see what the contents are before acquiring.

Bug Fixes and Changes

  • Echoes of Reality Tutorials now appear in the tutorial section of the Cortex
  • Fixed an issue where challenge scores were not matching the score in their description
  • Fixed the beams that were turning the fields on and off in the Crucible of Astrid arena in the Cataclysm
  • Fixed an issue where the strategic objective was not displaying while in the Cataclysm
  • New Exotic Weapons can now be salvaged in the Forge
  • Elemental damage now displays correctly in the forge for new exotic weapons (All Volt Casters + Gravedigger + Shard Storm)
  • Exotic weapons now show up in vault
  • Fixed an issue with crystal rewards not being correctly awarding by the final score
  • Daily Challenges are now functional with rewards

Also of note, a new Anthem survey has been released as well, though it seems it focuses on PTS stuff, too. Nonetheless, if you want your voice to be heard, fill out the survey here.

Speaking of the PTS, we’ve rounded up all the new items hitting the live game based on the PTS! Check that out here.

Two New Main Missions

=> Camp White Oak Information Card

=> National Zoo Mission Information Card

 

  • Camp White Oak: Bring the traitor President Andrew Ellis to justice as you assault a presidential compound in the woods.
  • Manning National Zoo: Emeline Shaw, leader of the Outcasts, has holed up in the zoo to regain her strength. Agents will hunt down and eliminate Shaw to keep the Outcasts from reclaiming power in the city.
  • To access these missions, you will have to be in World Tier 5.

 

Expeditions

When Agents receive what appears to be a final broadcast from a military convoy at Kenly College, they form an expedition to find any surviving members in need of rescue. Expeditions are split into three different wings for players to complete. Each wing has a specific theme and tone and will be opened to players on a weekly basis. Completing all three wings grants access to an exclusive treasure room full of rewards.

 

This is a new activity in the Division 2 where you can explore a new area, solve puzzles and – of course – also discard of some Enemies that you encounter there. Expeditions will have a weekly cadence for wings to open at first, but the dev team is still investigating how the rotation will work afterward.

There are different rewards that you can collect and when you finish all three areas there are also premium rewards. (no specifics were given). Backpack Trophies will also be available and of course also regular loot.

The Mastery system is still in the works as the dev teams believe the system can add another layer to the expedition experience but isn’t ready to implement it with TU5.

 

Classified Assignment

Agents can take on two new Classified Assignments in Washington’s Central Aquarium and NSA Site B13.

 

Discovery Mode for the Raid

You can now experience the raid in a discovery mode version – not as difficult – with matchmaking. The loot tables of the Discovery Mode are still being discussed – the same goes for the Eagle Assault Rifle, if it stays exclusive to the raid or if it also drops in other content.

 

Apparel Event

With the launch of Title Update 5, we will also get a new Apparel Event.

As you can see, a ton of stuff is coming this July 23. Don’t forget that those who don’t own the Year 1 pass, you’ll be able to play the new content after seven days, on July 30.
