Ubisoft has rolled out the first-ever major update to its latest first-person shooter game, "Tom Clancy's The Division." As a major patch, update 1.1 brings in many improvements and tweaks. However, there are also reports that the update may have also uncovered some glitches.

In patch notes from the studio, the most noted change in the major update is the introduction of "Incursion" missions. One incursion, "Falcon Lost," is already available for "The Division" players who have already gotten the update. The "Incursion" missions are set to expand the content and gameplay for the title, as major requirements for each mission are that players should be at least level 30 and have completed the "General Assembly" storyline.

Meanwhile, aside from unlocking a new update, Ubisoft has also rolled out the weekly "Operation ISAC" in-game assignments, where players get weekly rewards for successful completion of objectives. For the opening week, players are tasked to eliminate at least 50 Cleaners in the Dark Zone, deconstruct 30 items with minimum Green quality, destroy 40 Veteran-level enemies and complete at least 10 missions on Hard difficulty. This particular week will reward successful players with 30 Phoenix Credits.

The major update rolled out as a 4.9GB patch on the PlayStation 4, as well as for the Xbox One and PC. The "Incursion" update is the first free update for the game, followed by "Conflicts" next month. After the two updates roll out, "The Division" will then get paid expansions.

However, although the update already has tweaks and improvements featured in it, it also reportedly uncovered some bugs not immediately addressed by Ubisoft. According to GameSpot, players who have already gotten the update reported that some of their characters went missing in update 1.1.

Ubisoft has reportedly acknowledged the problem, but it will take some time for the glitch to be addressed, as "this issue will require further investigation and will not be fixed with this hotfix."
