Title update 18.3 for The Division 2 has arrived, and the patch notes include changes to the Descent game mode, some balance updates to gear, and other general bug fixes. Most notably, the Global Directives will no longer give any bonus XP in the Descent, the Grants tab has been removed from the UI temporarily for improvements, and some specific gear has been moved to its targeted loot pool categories.
