Update: You can now go ahead and download the update, it clocks in at just over 5GB.

Original story: Ubisoft has warned that loot-shooter The Division will be offline for three hours this morning ahead of the release of the 1.4 patch.

Servers will go down at 09:30 AM CEST / 03:30 AM EDT / 00:30 AM PDT. The good news is that previous updates have been available to download during downtime, so you can let it do it's thing just as soon as it goes offline.

The new 1.4 patch is a biggie and includes loads of improvements, including more generous loot drops, World Tier Controls, increased ammo capacity for players and shorter time to kill NPCs.
