The Division 2 will bring apocalyptic Christmas to the post-disaster Washington D.C for gaming fun this season. The game’s forthcoming 6.1 title update a brand new ‘Sleigher’ weapon – it’s basically a grenade launcher, except the grenades… are snowballs. There will also be free Santa hats, too.
Allof this is part of a holiday event entitled Situation: Snowball. plus the game will get a new Christmas themed look during the event. Also, Ambushers have a random chance of wearing Santa hats.
Plus there’s a new Hardcore mode rolling out which will introduce permadeath to the game. As the name implies, all progress and items are lost upon death, and Hardcore characters won’t have access to the Stash. This mode will get its own servers and Hardcore characters will always play together. If you live to see level 2, you’ll get a special YOLO hat.
