The Division 2 Update 19.1 Patch Notes: Confirmed Changes, and News
Ubisoft

Do you want to check out the latest Division 2 patch notes? We imagine the answer is yes because why else would you be here? We'll also go one step further and suggest that if you're searching for this page there's a good chance that Ubisoft has just dropped a brand new Division 2 update or hotfix for the game.

Assuming that's the case you probably want to know what's changed because, after all, the patch notes are the secret to most live service games. Yes, they might seem a little dull, but patch notes tell us in no uncertain terms what the developers have changed with the game. Yes, they do often contain quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes for various in-game glitches, but they will also list any and all balancing changes that could have a big impact on your core gameplay loop.

There's simply no telling when Ubisoft might decide to buff or nerf some of your favourite gear, weapons, or talents. But when they do, it's best that you know about it so you can adjust your playstyle and builds accordingly.

Regardless of whether Ubisoft makes a small change or a more sizeable update, we'll be keeping this page at GINX updated regularly to make sure you're informed of any slight adjustments. So, read on, and we'll tell you everything you need to know about the game's latest patch notes.
