📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW
🔧 MAINTENANCE MONDAY — THE FINAL ANNIVERSARY WEEK IS HERE 🔧
We are heading into the last week of The Division 2’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, and the SHD network is fully operational across all platforms. This week is packed — two events are closing out after Tuesday’s daily project reset, two fresh events are kicking off immediately after, and the Expertise Surge lands on Friday for any agent who hasn’t hit Level 30 yet. Whether you are a veteran pushing for max Expertise or a newer agent still working through your builds, this week has something for everyone. Let’s get into it.
🔶 SERVER STATUS — MARCH 23, 2026
All Servers Online
All The Division 2 servers are operational across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox as of Monday morning. No scheduled maintenance has been announced at this time — however as always, that can change quickly. Keep an eye on The Division Dispatch page for any updates the moment they drop.
✅ No scheduled maintenance announced
🟢 Servers stable across all platforms
⚠️ No emergency maintenance announced — situation remains fluid
🔶 EVENTS ENDING TOMORROW — AFTER DAILY PROJECT RESET
⚔️ Ambush Global Event
Ambush wraps up after Tuesday’s daily project reset on March 24. This has been one of the strongest farming windows of the Anniversary — stationary cover play with up to 200% damage bonus stacked. If you still have GE tokens to spend or Stars to cash in, tonight is your last window. Unspent Stars are gone at reset — do not leave them behind.
⚙️ Optimization Surge
The Optimization Surge also ends after Tuesday’s reset. All optimization materials have been doubled on pickup throughout this event — faction materials, Field Recon Data, and SHD Calibration all included. If your gear is not maxed yet, run as many loops as you can before reset tonight.
🔶 EVENTS STARTING TUESDAY — AFTER DAILY PROJECT RESET
🎯 Assault Global Event
Assault kicks off after Tuesday’s daily project reset on March 24. Close-range aggression is back in the rotation — SMG and Shotgun builds are going to be the play this week. Get in close, stay aggressive, and stack those event rewards heading into the final stretch of the Anniversary.
⏱️ Countdown Surge
Countdown Surge also launches after Tuesday’s reset. A boosted Countdown is a great opportunity to chain efficient runs and stack rewards — particularly useful if you are pushing materials or farming specific loot going into Year 8 Season 1.
🔶 EXPERTISE SURGE — STARTING FRIDAY, MARCH 27
📈 Expertise Surge Event
The Expertise Surge lands on Friday March 27 and this one matters more than ever. With Year 8 Season 1 bringing Prototype Gear — a brand new power tier that requires Expertise Level 30 and fully optimized gear to unlock — getting to max Expertise before April 3rd is going to put you well ahead of the curve. Use this weekend surge window to push hard. Start gathering your materials now so you are ready to go the moment it activates.
🔶 HOW THIS WEEK AFFECTS YOUR BUILDS
Ambush is ending — flip away from stationary cover builds after reset
Assault is starting — close-range SMG and Shotgun builds will shine all week
Countdown Surge — chain your runs efficiently for loot and material stacking
Expertise Surge Friday — prioritize material farming now to maximize the surge window
No patch or balance changes announced — current builds remain unaffected
🔶 WEEKLY REMINDER
⏰ Tuesday March 24 after daily project reset — Ambush ends, Optimization Surge ends, spend your Stars now, Assault begins, Countdown Surge begins. Friday March 27 — Expertise Surge begins. This is the last week of the 10th Anniversary — make every run count before Year 8 Season 1 launches April 3rd.
