The Division Patch Notes Include G36 Nerf and These Bug Fixes

The Division was offline earlier today, July 12, as developer Ubisoft Massive implemented some changes. Now, servers are back up and the studio has shared the official patch notes. We've learned that the G36 assault rifle has been nerfed, while a number of bugs should now be fixed.

The G36 has had its base damage reduced by 15 percent. Ubisoft did not say why it made that change, but it follows a bigger update in June that made some huge weapon balance changes.

As for the bug fixes, one of these is for a problem where named weapons could not have their talents recalibrated. Additionally, the update should fix a bug where game music would shut off completely when quitting from inside an Incursion.

There is only one PC-specific bug fix mentioned in the patch notes, and it's for an issue where players could use multiple consumables at the same time.

You can see the full patch notes below, as posted in The Division's forums.
