Ubisoft is gearing up to recruit a ton of players into the battle for Washington D.C. Online shooter The Division 2 is getting a private beta on February 7, 2019, and not only will players be checking out the rhythm for the base game, players will get a glimpse of what to expect from the title's endgame missions.

The Division 2: Private Beta, which is available to gamers that have pre-ordered the game, runs from 1 AM PT February 7 to 1 AM PT February 10 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The beta, which the team describes as the "fastest registering beta in Ubisoft history" in the press release, will include the following:

• Level seven cap
• Eastern part of the game's open-world
• Two main missions, available in Story, Normal, and Hard Mode
• Five side missions and additional activities in the open world
• PvPvE gameplay one of the three new Dark Zones
• Conflict PvP mode Skirmish

On top of all the above, players will get to test out The Division 2 endgame content starting at 8 AM PT on February 8. This experience will jump players up to level 30 and have them tackle an Invaded mission. The Survivalist, Sharpshooter, and Demolitionist specializations can also be unlocked for this special glimpse into the future.

The Division 2: Private Beta looks like it will be a good test for Ubisoft's servers and also serve as a window for those wondering what the content will be like in this new entry. The original title has some growing pains, but ended up providing players with a more well-rounded endgame experience as post-launch development continued. Giving players a peek into endgame before the game launches could ease concerns and also give the Ubisoft developers insight into how people respond to and play the Invaded missions.

Pre-load for the closed beta starts 1 AM PT on February 6. Tom Clancy's The Division 2 launches March 15, 2019, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Stay tuned to Shacknews for additional updates.
