Title update 18.2 for The Division 2 just went live, and the patch notes are bringing a new Apparel Event that starts once the maintenance ends on the 4th of July and numerous fixes across the board. The fixes include changes to gear, weapons, raids, and the UI, among others. The most important fixes include a fix to the Descent Projects that would reset 8 hours before the other projects and removing the ability for a host to spam other players with the “invite to game” button. It is good to see that Ubisoft is deploying more systems that discourage users from spoiling the experience for others instead of waves of bans like before. Here is the complete list of patch notes for update 18.2 for The Division 2:
