First free expansion for The Division coming in April

Ubisoft has announced that the first of two free expansions for The Division, titled Incursions, will be released on April 12.

Incursions DLC adds a new endgame activity specifically designed for squad play. The first Incursion, titled Falcon Lost, is set in a new underground water-treatment facility that’s been turned into a stronghold for the Last Man Battalion.

Falcon Lost has two difficulties: Hard mode and challenge mode. Also, there aren’t any checkpoints in Falcon Lost; if your team goes down, you’ll have to restart from the beginning. Additionally, you can replay Falcon Lost and other upcoming Incursions as many times as you want and still be rewarded with new loot.

The update also includes new four rare gear sets: Sentry’s Call, Striker’s Battle Gear, Path of the Nomad, and Technician’s Authority. Each set is meant to bolster a specific play style. Agent level is still capped at 30, but your gear score can boost your abilities beyond your level.

Loot trading will be made possible. Assignments are new tasks that are meant as brief, optional side goals that update daily and can earn you Phoenix Credits, Division tech, and other rewards. Supply drops will periodically fall from the sky in the Dark Zone; they’re also protected by tough enemies, but the loot doesn’t need to be extracted, as it’s uncontaminated, and can’t be stolen once acquired.

Incursions will later be followed by another free update, Conflict, which adds a special incursion into New York’s Columbus Circle, as well as new Dark Zone features.

The Division was released in March for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
