The Division Incursions patch notes: crafting changes, Assignments teaser, more

Ubisoft Massive has released the patch notes for the Incursions Update coming next week to The Division.

We've slapped the entire thing below for you, and you can get a look at a teaser video for the Assignments included in the update above.

As previously reported, players will be able to make use of Level 31 and 32 Blueprints and Division Tech requirements have been removed from some level 31 High-End Blueprints.

Also coming with Update 1.1 is the ability for players to report cheaters. A three day suspension will be handed out to those which Ubisoft Massive has determined as a true report, with a second chance offered once the suspension is lifted. If the player is foound to have cheated again, they will be permanently banned.

If the patch notes below aren't enough information for you, you can always check out our Everything You Need to Know post regarding the Incursions update.

Assignments are available for a limited time (24h for Daily Assignments and 7 days for Weekly Assignments), after which, they will be replaced by different assignments.
Assignments come in different categories: Combat, Dark Zone, Crafting. Most assignments can be completed while playing alone but some will require enlisting other agent's assistance to complete.

Dark Zone Supply Drops

Dark Zone Supply Drops are a global event where the Strategic Homeland Defense agency airdrops multiple supply caches to assist Division agents
Supply drops will occur multiple times over the course the day
The supply drops will contain non-contaminated gear of all types that will be ready to use without the need for extraction
These supply drops will be heavily sought after by other agents and enemy factions that roam the Dark Zone, so be ready for resistance

Gear Score

Every non-vanity gear piece that can be found when your agent is level 30 has a Gear Score value. The higher an item's Gear Score, the stronger the item
The overall Gear Score of your agent can be seen in your main menu next to your player level. Gear Score indicates the advancement of an agent
Other agents' Gear Scores are displayed next to their health bars
Improving your gear and increasing your overall Gear Score will grant your agent access to the most dangerous high-end challenges

Players can use RB/LB, R1/L1 or Q/E keys to switch between group members
