BETA PROGRESS WILL NOT CARY OVER TO THE FINAL RELEASE​

What can I do in the Beta?
​


Number of Agents, Character Customization, Level Cap
  • You are limited to one character during the testing phase. At character creation, you are able to cycle through pre-sets of customization features to randomize your Agent.

Beta Start
  • You will not start the Beta at the real start of the game, but a bit further down the road. You will be level 1 when you start and you can level up to Level 8.

Beta Activities
  • You start the Beta in the middle of the map and you need to establish your Base of Operations first: Take back the White House. Once that is done you can start exploring the map and visit the first Settlement. After that you can complete 2 Main Missions, 5 Side Missions and explore the Open World for dynamic activities and the collectibles.
  • You can also explore the Dark Zone. An intro mission that is PVE only introduces you to the Dark Zone mechanics without exposing you to PVP. When you return to the Dark Zone after completing that mission, you will face other players.
  • When you want to experience organized PVP you can join Skirmish, that is a 4v4 Team deathmatch mode. You can join Skirmish as soon as you unlock the Base of operations.

​


Invaded Main Mission
  • As part of the Beta, you will also experience endgame content in form of an Invaded Mission. This will be the Jefferson Trade Center and it will become available on Friday. But to access the invaded version of the mission, you first need to complete it in your normal "beta campaign".


Test out the Specializations
  • Once you have completed the Jefferson Trade Center mission in your normal "beta campaign" (and it is already Friday) you can log out and select one of three endgame characters.
  • Each of them has one of three endgame specializations and this way you can also try them out and find what really fits your gameplay. From that point on you can log back in and play the invaded version of the Jefferson Trade Center and fight the Black Tusks.

PvP

​

The Dark Zone
  • Dark Zone East will be available during the Beta. It is the largest of all three Dark Zones, players utilize long sight lines in over-grown governmental parks.

Unlock the Dark Zone
  • You will acquire the DZ East introduction mission from Senait Ezera - the new Dark Zone NPC in the Base of Operations—after completing Jefferson Trade Center. Completing this intro-mission unlocks full access to the Dark Zone and its features.

Conflict
  • During the Beta you also have access to organized PVP in Skirmish. This is a 4v4 Team Deathmatch. You can join Skirmish as soon as you unlock the Base of Operations.
  • This version of the game is not final and elements are subject to change.

I found out that my alpha access also must have granted me beta access cause I was able to preload when I got home from work. Super excited to jump in when it goes live.

Already preloaded yesterday. After the disappointing Anthem demo, I hope this doesn't let me down.

Wait, is the open world map fully explorable in this beta?

The number of missions and activities should be very limited, obviously, but it's awesome if we can explore the whole map.

I can't say I've seen anything saying if we can or not. I'd have to believe we'd only have access to the areas pertaining to the missions we'd be able to run, but it does say we can explore the open world... so that would be insane if we could!

I wouldn't expect that. The Div 1 alpha/beta was limited to like a 3x5 block area (It went from the starting camp, north a few blocks, and east to the madison square garden entrance)

I forget, were you even able to get through the first part of the game and take the chopper to the main area in the beta?

And yeah I agree that it's very unlikely, they'd have to wall off all the areas they don't want us to access which I think would be a bit much.

It didn't have the entire tutorial section, neither does this. It just started with you choppering in and landing at the waterfront there.

EDIT:
From memory, the beta map for Division 1 was approximately this:

Yeah, that'd be great. But even if it's not, there are already more than enough content available in this beta.

I like that they give you a taste of late game builds/content. Very smart.

For everyone else getting banned, did you preorder on green man? Just want to make sure that's not what's causing it.

I mean. I'm not happy about it, but it's not the end of the world, just kind of...wtf.

At least the menu theme is cool.

So switching to windowed+fullscreen is not working properly for me. It works but the brightness when I tab out, and in game, changes quite a bit darker.

But it looks damn good and performance is very smooth so far.

Getting a black screen when I launch the game. There's audio and music, but that's it.
