The Division open beta will feature major changes to Dark Zone
There are a number of changes expected to roll out with the open beta of The Division, but the Dark Zone appears to be getting the most attention.
The open beta for Tom Clancy’s The Division is coming to PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 next week, and prior to its launch, Ubisoft has revealed a number of improvements it has made to the game for the upcoming event.
According to patch notes outlined in an update history for the PS4 version, we can expect some new content, including the Subway Morgue mission that include The Cleaners faction, the opportunity to unlock the first upgrade in the Base of Operations’ Tech wing, new high-end weapons to be found in the Dark Zone, and a Deployable Turret skill.
The Dark Zone appears to have received the most changes as players can expect the number of non-player enemies to be significantly increased and to be slightly more powerful, chests will refresh much less frequently, and players who have shot at another player will now be marked, but not yet considered to be a Rogue Agent.
Just like with its closed beta, Xbox One owners will be able to get a headstart on The Division’s beta as they can begin accessing it on February 18. PC and PlayStation 4 owners can then join the fight the following day, on February 19 and all versions are expected to commence on February 21.
Here are screenshots of the full patch notes:

oh and its weird they say the Cleaners are a new faction here. There was a mission in the closed beta to restore some water pressure and you had to hold off a bunch of dudes with tanks on their backs that would burn and explode when shot. I thought those guys were part of the Cleaner faction.
either way I'm glad theyre including some more stuff! :D -
