Complete The Division 2 Title Update Y8S1.2 patch notes

Arriving on May 12, we will get a new Escalation Requisition vendor. We can exchange our Escalation Tokens for Prototype Gear with this vendor, and he will be available at our base. There will be three types of caches on offer.

• Prototype Gear Cache: You’ll find equipment of Prototype quality on daily rotation. The items will have higher chances of getting god rolls.
• Prototype Weapon Cache: Similar to the previous one, you can try your luck to find a weapon of Prototype rarity.
• Prototype Random Cache: You’ll get a random item of Prototype Rarity.

We’ll also get new collectibles spread all around the map. These cryptic items will lead to the Capitol Anomaly that will appear for players Level 30 or above. It’s something to look out for on the side if you’re tired of completing the usual stuff.

There are a bunch of minor fixes as well that you can find out on the full patch notes here.

The post Complete The Division 2 Title Update Y8S1.2 Rise Up patch notes appeared first on Destructoid.

Forza Horizon 6 somehow leaked and was cracked wide open over the weekend, leading to some players gaining access to it well ahead of its launch day.

The game isn’t due to launch until May 19 (the Premium Edition gets access four days earlier), but many have somehow unlocked and begun playing the game as early as a few days ago. Gameplay videos have begun appearing on YouTube, Twitch, and other websites, and it’s gotten a bit out of hand, forcing the game’s devs to address it.

It seems that players accessing the game likely has something to do with an early access review build appearing as 155 GB of unencrypted downloadable files on SteamDB, and developer Playground Games says it is “not the result of a pre-load issue.” It’s possible that a content creator or reviewer with early access broke embargo and made it all possible.

“We are taking strict enforcement action against any individuals found accessing this build including franchise-wide and hardware bans,” Playground said. “We encourage fans to sit tight for the game’s release on May 19.”

The full game is now reportedly appearing on piracy sites, although some who have accessed it say they were able to do so simply by pre-ordering. The player who was first to crack the game says that its files were not encrypted, so it’s turned into a bit of a blame game.

No matter who or what is at fault, Playground says it may be banning people who play it early, and some have taken exception to that by claiming that it was a mistake on the studio’s end and that they should not be punished for playing the game early because of it.

But for those who pirated the game illegally once it leaked, there’s no real argument to be had, so think twice before booting up the game before it’s unlocked for real later this week or next, depending on which edition you buy.
