The Division 2 Title Update 17 is now available on the game’s public test server. This patch introduces a brand new gear set that you should definitely try as soon as possible.
If you are a fan of the marksman rifle, then the new Habsburg Guard gear set is for you. Equipping just a single piece from this set gives you 15% headshot damage. If you have two pieces, you get an additional 15% marksman rifle damage. And if you have all three pieces, the status effects you inflict are boosted by 10%.
There are also two Named Items that complement the gear set. The Venerable is a Named Chest Armor that grants Perfect Trauma - a talent that applies the blind status effect when you hit an enemy in the head, or bleed if you shoot them in the chest.
In addition, the Courier is a Named Backpack that grants the Perfect Creeping Death talent. With this one equipped, the status effect that you inflict on an enemy has a chance to spread to the nearest foe within a 10-meter radius.
Title Update 17 for The Division 2 brings a new exotic weapon for you to play with as well. The Sacrum Imperium is an exotic variation of the G28 Marksman Rifle, and this thing is special because of its innate talent called “The Trap.”
Basically, you can tag up to 10 enemies with your scope. Killing one marked enemy with a headshot applies the burn status effect and a 50% reduction in movement speed on the other targets. This effect has a 30-second cooldown but you can shorten it by killing another marked enemy with a headshot.
