Hurricane Morgan is closing in on rural Pennsylvania, where the Rikers have seized the Steel Creek Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant, one of the last functioning power stations on the East Coast.
With the reservoir rising and the facility at risk, Agents must breach the Rikers’ fortifications, take down the four leaders controlling the stronghold, and secure the dam before the storm causes catastrophic damage.
Two special Arm Patches will be available to mark the launch of Broken Rain:
Complete the Incursion within the first 24 hours to receive both the Golden Beaver Arm Patch and the Silver Beaver Arm Patch.
Complete it within the first 7 days to receive the Silver Beaver Arm Patch.
To allow time for everyone to log in after maintenance on August 11, the reward window will begin one hour after the servers come back online. We will confirm the exact start and end times on @TheDivisionGame.
Prototype Gear can be used in Broken Rain, but its stats will be fully normalized. This means Prototype Augments will be disabled, and Prototype stats will be reduced to their minimum values. The same system is already used in Paradise Lost, Operation Iron Horse, and Operation Dark Hours. Keep this in mind when preparing your build for the Incursion.
One of the standout rewards in Broken Rain is Steel & Sons ACR, an Exotic Rifle exclusive to the Incursion.

There are two ways to earn Steel & Sons ACR: a chance from the final reward chest after a full completion, or from bosses during repeat runs.
Final Reward chest:
Each of your characters is eligible for one roll from the chest per week.
Eligibility resets with the global weekly reset.
Completion time and individual performance do not affect the drop chance.
Additional clears:
You must be present when the boss is defeated to be eligible for the drop.
You can repeat the Incursion as many times as you like throughout the week.
The drop chance remains the same with each attempt.
The Broken Rain Event Pass will be available from August 11 to August 25, with new JTF-themed outfits.
Free Track:
JTF Controller Outfit
JTF Commando Outfit
Premium Track:
JTF Enforcer Outfit
JTF Responder Outfit
2 Exotic Caches
1 Outfit Token
The premium track also introduces Outfit Tokens, a new currency that can be used to unlock selected outfits from the Store.
One Outfit Token unlocks the full outfit, even if you already own some of its individual pieces. Look for the Outfit Token icon to see which outfits are eligible. If an outfit can be unlocked with more than one currency, you can choose between an Outfit Token, Premium Credits, or Textiles.
The Into the Dark Stretch Goals track opens on August 18 and will remain available until the end of the season.
Once you reach Tier 100 of the Season Pass, you can continue progressing through the Stretch Goals track and earning additional rewards.
The track includes Standard and Prestige Caches. Prestige Caches appear at Tier 10 and are earned through the same progression, but guarantee some rewards that only have a chance to drop from Standard Caches and increase the chances of additional bonus drops.

The Into the Dark Climax Mission becomes available on August 11. Complete it on Master difficulty for the first time to earn the Underboss Exotic SMG as a guaranteed reward.
After your first completion, Underboss will still have a chance to drop on repeat runs, with higher difficulties offering a better chance.

More updates will be made to this list in the future.
The second phase of our PvP balancing focuses on Gear and Brand Set bonuses, Prototype Augments, and several individual talents.
Gear and Brand Set bonuses have been adjusted to give you more room to experiment with different builds, while bringing some of the strongest and weakest options closer together.
Prototype Augments have also received their own PvP values, in preparation for upcoming PvP content where Prototype Gear will be available. These changes reduce some of the more extreme damage and survivability combinations without affecting how the Augments perform in PvE.
Several talents have been adjusted as well, particularly where their performance created unusually large advantages in PvP.
You can find the full list of changes here.
You can now test how your build will perform under PvP rules without leaving the Shooting Range.
Two new control panels let you switch Normalization and Global PvP Balance on or off. Your stats will update automatically depending on the settings you choose.
Normalization applies the rules used in normalized PvP, including SHD Levels, Expertise, and Prototype Gear normalization.
Global PvP Balance applies the PvP values used for gear, talents, and Prototype Augments.
With Normalization enabled, the damage shown against targets will reflect your damage against another player. Turn it off to return to your regular damage against NPCs.
