The Division 1.4: Here's how every weapon, gear set, skill and talent has changed

Everything you had equipped has changed overnight.

The Division's 1.4 patch released today and as well as fixing multiple bugs, getting a whole lot more generous with the loot and putting an end to insta-kills from shotgunners standing miles away, it's pretty much changed the stats for all your equipped gear.

In what amounts to a global rebalance of the base game, all weapons, gear sets, gear talents and skills have been tweaked in some way, some more dramatically than others.

For those jumping back into the game that's going to come as a surprise, flipping your favourite tools and tactics on their heads.

So here's our big-ass lists of all the changes. We'd recommend hitting CTRL F and searching for your favourite guns and gear in order to zip to their new stats, but also look at the general changes to each category or weapon type.

Weapons

General changes

• Named weapons are no longer locked to specific Gear Scores (except Damascus, which will remain available at only one Gear Score)

• DPS calculation now values Headshot damage differenlt yfor each weapon category to more accurately guide player when modding weapons.
• Weapon recalibration: When recalibrating a weapon, the player will now be able to pick from 6 Talents additionally to the initial one (instead of 3+1). This should lower the impact of RNG and increase the chances to actually get the talent you want before you run out of tries.
• Weapon Mods have been changed: they will now have one major bonus and an amount of smaller bonuses depending on the quality of the mod.
