Morning Agents, here’s your weekly report. We had a very interesting week across The Division. From the 10th Anniversary announcement at FPS Day X, to the launch of my new YouTube channel, Julian Gerighty moving on from the franchise, and welcoming our first community moderators, there was a lot to take in. We also had no maintenance this past week, with servers remaining stable across all platforms. Looking ahead, two events are starting this week: Dark Zone XP Event and Golden Bullet Global Event.
