Ubisoft wants “bring back the shooter feeling” by applying a range of rebalances and reworks to gear, armour and weapons. Firstly, gear dropped in World Tier 2 and above will come with three variable stats—Firearms, Stamina, and Electronics—which facilitate a “standard baseline,” that in turn prevents “accidentally making the game much more difficult than it has to be.”
Armour and weapons are in-line for similarly comprehensive makeovers with damage bonus calculations, mods and talents and DPS formula subject to change; while stamina is now essential for equipping heavy armour.

“Update 1.4 is now available for download on all platforms,” says a tweet posted by The Division’s official Twitter account. It continues, suggesting the download size is anything between 4.5GB and 5.7GB. Steam users are however reporting sizes under 4GB.
