The Division 2 Title Update 12.1 Patch Notes

The Division 2 is one day away from the Resident Evil crossover event announced last month. The revised apparel event is being paired with a title update that brings more than iconic cosmetics from Capcom’s long-running franchise.

Title Update 12.1 is not yet live, but Ubisoft Community Manager Ubi-Lucipus provided the full rundown of its contents on The Division 2’s official forum. In addition to several themed unlockables awaiting players throughout the Codename: Nightmare Apparel Event, and its associated Reanimated Global Event, massive changes to the Optimization Station are incoming.

New Apparel Event: Resident Evil

Racoon City has sent their best and brightest to answer the call in D.C. and New York City. This unique crossover apparel event launches alongside the newly revamped Reanimated Global Event. In addition to the wonderful outfits available through apparel keys, agents also get the opportunity to collect 7 new back trophies and 4 new patches celebrating Resident Evil!

To get the patches and trophies, the level 40 BOO daily projects have been replaced with S.T.A.R.S. Support and S.T.A.R.S. Assault projects. One of these projects will be available each day, and each will reward 2 new patches or trophies each day they are completed until the full set has been collected.
