  Now Playing: Everything New in The Division 2: Warlords of New York Expansion

  The patch also changed status effects for both poison and EMP. Poisoning will now have a reduced tick interval as well as damage and duration. The EMP Skills now do damage to NPC Skills, including Jammer and Nail Bomb, increasing their effectiveness. Mortars on Coney Island have had their damage reduced, which should make things a little easier. You can see the full patch notes below.

  This comes in the midst of the Urban Jungle event. Running through April 20, it awards special cosmetic items that you can purchase by earning special cache keys from leveling up your SDH levels or with Premium Credits. It includes four cosmetic outfits in all, called Reconaissance, Hazard, Gorilla, and Chrome, along with some other assorted cosmetic items. The game also recently released a new Rogue Agent into the wild.
