- Appearance Mods allow you to change the appearance of your gear to look like your favorite-looking pieces, while still having your best gear equipped.
- Masks, backpacks, chests, kneepads, gloves, and holsters can all be changed, including gear sets.
- Gear with a changed appearance can still be dyed.
- Weapons and Exotics are excluded from the system.
- This feature will be available to all The Division 2 players at all levels.
SEASON 2 CONTINUES
The Reanimated Global Event is live!
- New enemy tech is causing dead NPCs to reanimate after death. NPCs that are killed will be shocked back to life by a built-in defibrillator and rejoin the fight. The only way to put down an NPC permanently is with a headshot kill – however, this will cause corrosive brain matter to appear in the air and infect anyone nearby.
- The Global Event will be active until August 25.
- Players can earn rewards by participating.
The Division 2 is available now on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and is included in a UPLAY+ subscription. For more on The Division 2, check out our previous coverage.
