#200: THE END OF AN ERA Apr 02, 2020

Episode 200!!
Yep. We made it. Episode 200 of SITREP Radio is here and there isn't really a lot else to say, sadly. That's right, 200-and-done for Mike, Rob and Luke. The lads announced last week that Episode 200 would be their last, so here it is in all it's glory. Grab a beer (or something else alcohol based to wet-your-whistle) and settle down somewhere comfortable - this one could be emotional (though probably not, the 3 of them are pretty much soulless and devoid of basic emotions).
Seriously though, Thank You to everyone who has ever listened to an episode of SITREP Radio. Thank You to everyone who has interacted with us via Twitter, or Facebook, or YouTube or Discord or any other social space you may find us three lurking. We are extremely grateful for all the support over the years. It's been a heck of a ride.

This week Mike endures his usual struggle with the English language, Luke finally admits to being "King of the North" and Rob is the least drunk he has EVER been for a recording of SRR as his house is currently a victim of the "panic buying" that is going on and has no alcohol. None. #PrayForRob!

This week Mike says "Tidbits". Luke says "Engaraged" and Rob says "Girth".

With the communication survey currently doing the rounds, and the latest episode of SotG focusing on it's own future, the boys wanted to put their thanks on record and re-iterate just how fortune they feel we are to have this direct line of communication from the developers on such a regular basis.
Mike, Rob and Luke also give a quick round-up of what they've been up to in the game this week, as well as a quick self-indulgent ending where they announce how many lovely listeners they've had to date

#182: No Survival or Crossplay? Nov 07, 2019

It's a short episode this week for Episode #182 of SITREP Radio as news is a little on the slim side at present. With State of the Game having another week off while the team "work on shaping future updates", the lads take the opportunity this week to keep things streamlined.
Mike, Rob and Luke give an update on how their return to the Dark Hours raid went (spoilers, it took a while). They also touch on something that portions of the community have been complaining about this week after ComDev AmperCamper mentioned there were currently no plans for Survival to make a return to The Division franchise.
As is now tradition the lads end the show with questions from their Discord server and the Twitterverse. As mentioned in the show, the Bullets and Beer Discord link is discord.gg/WUsujr5 and our Patreon link is patreon.com/sitrepradio.

#181: Heroics, Meta & Meeting Expectations Oct 31, 2019

Mike, Rob and Luke take a look at what the future holds for the Tom Clancy's The Division franchise this week for Episode 181 of SITREPRadio. With no State of the Game this week the lads decided to discuss the recently articles from a number of sources that delve into the latest set of Ubisoft financial reports. With Ghost Recon: Breakpoint posting disappointing financial results, as well as poor reviews from both critics and the community, as well as 'worse than expected' sales results for The Division 2 since launch, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is quoted as saying "more time is needed between iterations of Live games".
Moving forward, does this mean The Division 3 will be released with a much larger gap between it's predecessor? If that's the case, will we see far more post-launch content for The Division 2 in order to bridge the void? Failing that, will there even be a The Division 3?

#180: TU6 IS THE RIGHT DIRECTION Oct 24, 2019

Join Mike, Rob and Luke for Episode 180 of SITREPRadio where the lads have a good old chinwag about the state of The Division 2 now that TU6/Episode 2 has been in the hands of the player base for over a week. It's fair to say there is far more positivity around the community at present with plenty of loot to be chased after, 2 new missions to be digested and the latest wave of balancing changes giving the whole game a far more rounded experience.
Be warned, there are spoilers from the new Pentagon and Darpa missions in this episode of the podcast.

#179: EPISODE 2 ARRIVES Oct 17, 2019

Episode 179 of SITREP Radio brings with it the first reactions of the lads after the TU6/Episode 2 dlc dropped. That's right, the new update is live and is seemingly being enjoyed by the vast majority of the community. Is it perfect? No, but it's a pretty big step in the right direction and it's real good to see some positivity from the community again.
Mike, Rob and Luke also take a dive into the worst of the communities behaviour this week, with Twitter and Reddit especially ragey/salty/toxic. We've said before and we'll no doubt have to say again in the future - if people want/expect the line of communication between the players and certain portions of the development team to be kept open then people are going to have to learn that being toxic just for toxicities sake is not going to do anyone any favours at all. Does that mean you have to be all positive and jolly all the time? Hell no! But spouting verbal attacks against people just because a computer game isn't exactly as you'd like it isn't the way to go either.

#178: WHERE’S THE CONTENT? Oct 12, 2019

Episode 178 of SITREP Radio is a late one after Mike was away in Cornwall earlier in the week, so apologies for the delay. We promise we'll be back to our usual recording slot next week.
For this weeks' episode the lads talk about the state of Title Update 6/Episode 2 and the seemingly lacklustre amount of content that is coming to the game with this update. With replay-ability seemingly at an all time low, or just the desire within the community to keep going over the same missions, it poses the question about what the future holds for The Division 2, and maybe the title as a franchise. Mike, rob and Luke also go over the news that the 2nd raid has been delayed "until 2020".

#177: KENLYCOLLEGE RETURNS Oct 02, 2019

Episode 177 of SITREP Radio sees the lads go over the latest snippets of news from State of the Game. These include the details surrounding the Mastery System, reworks to the Shepherding system, further details regarding new Named and Exotic gear/weapons, as well as news of more missions being added to the Invaded rotation.
"Fresh" from their heavy booze-fuelled weekend in Bristol, the lads are still suffering from a lack of sleep so the energy levels during the show this week aren't perhaps at their highest. However, with news that TU6 should be dropping on or around the 15th of October, there is room for optimism.

#176: TU6 HUGE BALANCE PASS Sep 26, 2019

Episode 176 of SITREP Radio sees the lads take an in-depth look at the plethora of changes that have hit the PTS this past week, and how they feel they will impact the live game.
With Fredrick Thylander on State of the Game this week to talk through the balancing to weapons and gear with Hamish, it was the perfect opportunity for Mike, Rob and Luke to discuss in detail all the tweaks that have been implemented. Rather than the usual nerfs there are a number of sizeable buffs on top of a series of reworks to weapon and gear talents.

#175: IS PVP FINALLY DEAD? Sep 19, 2019

Episode 174 of SITREP Radio is fresh off the back of the return of State of the Game, with Mike Rob and Luke doing their best to digest the plethora of changes that are coming to The Division 2's Loot mechanics and RNG features.
With ETF-Echo all done and dusted, Hamish was joined by Nikki on SotG this week with a focus on talking about all things loot. Dark Zone and PvP will be discussed on next week's broadcast, with "The Road Ahead" following the week after that. They also announced that these changes would be part of Title Update 6, which would be hitting the Public Test Servers real soon ahead of its full release sometime in October.

#173: WHERE IS THE ENDGAME? Sep 05, 2019

Mike, Rob and Luke sit down to have a lengthy discussion on the current state of endgame in The Division 2.
That's right, following on from their recent discussion regarding PvP in The Division 2, the lads this week provide their collective feedback on how the game has seemingly missed the target on a number of key features since launch, especially for one that was billed as being "Endgame focused" prior to its launch. There is also a brief discussion about the impact they envisage ETF-Echo will have on the future updates, and when their input will be felt in-game.

#172: Whats Wrong With PvP? Aug 30, 2019

Welcome to a belated Episode 172 of SITREP Radio. Apologies for the delay in getting this episode to you Agents. We had a week off whilst there was no news, and then working life got in the way during our usual recording window. Don't worry - you can't rid of us that easily.
This week, Mike, Rob and Luke sit down for a lengthy discussion about the state of PvP in The Division 2 and try to put forward a series of ideas, fixes and changes that could help to improve things. In light of the news that TU6 will be ETF-driven, this episode is basically everything that TeamSITREP would put forward if they'd applied.

#171: FIXING LOOT & BUILDS IN TU6 Aug 08, 2019

Mike, Rob and Luke are back and bringing you the freshest, tastiest piece of The Division 2 news pie*. That's right, Episode 171 of SITREP Radio is here.
*Note - there is no news this week as State of the Game has disappeared on holiday for a couple of weeks along with the rest of Malmo. Instead, the lads sit down and have a good ol' chat about where they see the game is at present and share some ideas on how things can be fixed and/or improved upon. RNG, Loot in general, Re-calibration, Gear Talents, Weapon Talents, Build Diversity and various other minor topics all come under the microscope this week. The glaring omissions are PvP and Eng-Game, but these will be discussed in a later episode.

#170: TU6 & ETF DELTA INBOUND Aug 01, 2019

Mike, Rob, and Luke bring you Episode 170 of their podcast dedicated to all things Tom Clancy's The Division 2. That's right, another week = another episode.
This week the lads discuss the aftermath of TU5 dropping and the array of issues that have plagued the game since. In fairness to the Devs, they have issued one patch already and are issuing another one on Thursday 1st August. But, as was discussed on this weeks' State of the Game broadcast, there are plenty of things for the player base to be unhappy with currently. But don't fear as TU6 seems to be coming in the near future which also includes the return of another ETF to help push the game to a better state.

#169: TU5 HAS FINALLY ARRIVED Jul 25, 2019

Mike, Rob and Luke are back for Episode 169. The red-hot topics discussed this week are hot off the press, fresh from State of the Game and hot on the heels of the new DLC release. (That's right, with temperatures soaring across the UK this week it seems only fitting that we make some sort of half-assed attempt at hot topics jokes! Sorry.)
With TU5 dropping earlier this week, the lads talk about the new missions that dropped as part of the "Episode One" DLC package. They try to not give everything away, but there are a number of spoilers in this section of the podcast - you have been warned! There is also a brief section of news regarding some known issues that have been reported since TU5 dropped.

Episode 168 is here and so are all three of your hosts this week for the first time in four weeks. With a full compliment of hosts the banter levels are back to their usual heights and the lads do their best to put each other off as often as possible.
This week the lads focus on recapping all the news from the previous couple of weeks surrounding everything we know and can expect with Title Update 5, which is confirmed for release on Tuesday 23rd July. There is also a lengthy, unplanned discussion on the current state of PvP in The Division 2 and how big a task is currently facing the developers over at Red Storm.

#167: Episode 1 Next Week with Deadly Skills Jul 11, 2019

SITREP Radio is a two-man affair for Episode 167, as it is Mike's turn to swan off on his holidays this week. So Rob takes over the full hosting duties and Luke tries to keep things on-track ("tries" being the key word in that sentence).
The focus of this week's episode is the news of the PTS is now closed and almost all of the final values of skill changes and balancing have been decided upon ahead of Title Update 5 will going live on Tuesday 23rd July. Rather than discussing the plethera of changes one-by-one, Rob and Luke go through the key numbers and give their reactions as they go. The lads also have a brief chat about the incoming, brand new PvE activity "Expeditions". As is usually the case with SRR, this is kept spoiler free for those who were not part of the PTS and are wanting to enjoy the new content for themselves once the update goes live.

#166: SKILL BUILDS ARE BACK, RIGHT? Jul 04, 2019

With Title Update 5 in full progress, Rob and Mike sit down with a friend of the show BorrietheBlade to discuss their first thoughts on the changes made to skills on the PTS currently. Rob goes into full detail about his time in the new Discovery Difficulty for the Raid: Operation Dark Hours, where he matchmade with 7 other players and tells them how he got on. And finally, discuss the huge buffs coming to Skill haste and Skills themselves in the second phase of the PTS hopefully bringing the skill builds back into the fold.
And finally end the show with a fairly somber farewell to BorrietheBlade as he moves on to his next venture.

#165: TU5 GETS MAJOR SKILL CHANGES Jun 27, 2019

SITREP Radio is a two-man affair for Episode 165 as Rob is off in Corfu for his honeymoon. Mike and Luke take the opportunity to have a good chat about Skill Builds, Loot and the wider issue of RNG, oh and they pretty much compare everything back to the Dark Hours raid.
There is also news this week of another PTS. That's right, another one. Title Update 5 is apparently only just around the corner (Yep, we know - Title Update 4 only came out last week!) and seeing as the guys over at Massive have completely re-worked how Skills and Skill Power work and scale, they want us to test it out thoroughly before it goes live. There is no exact date for when this new iteration of the PTS will be up and running, other than it will definitely be one day next week - so keep an eye out for an update being pushed to your PTS clients.

The Division 2 Title Update 4 is here! The Gunner Specialization is here! SITREP Radio Episode 164 is here! That's right folks, Mike, Rob and Luke present to you their weekly round-up of the news and views on all things Tom Clancy's The Division 2.
With TU4 dropping on Tuesday 18th June, the lads go through what's new and how it has impacted them and their builds, as well as what is coming in terms of future maintenance for bug fixing and future Q.O.L updates. The three of them also have a chat about potential Brand Set changes that were hinted at during the latest edition of State of the Game.

#163: E3 BRINGS FUTURE CONTENT DETAILS Jun 13, 2019

SITREP Radio Episode 163 is here, presented as always by Mike, Rob and Luke. The lads spend the majority of this weeks episode theorising over what the DLC's will entail fresh from the new trailer that dropped at E3 this week.
In addition to that trailer and some info-graphics on Episodes 1, 2 and 3 that will fill out Year 1's content drops, we had an update on The Division movie that the lads have talked about a few times over the life of the podcast and the games franchise. It was this week announced that Netflix had secured the rights for the movie, with Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Chastain and David Leitch all attached. The lads, as is now to be expected with the three of them, got a bit hyped as they discussed what they would like to see from a movie dedicated to their favourite video game.

#162: NEW GUNNER SPEC SOUNDS EPIC Jun 06, 2019

Mike, Rob and Luke are back with Episode 162 of SITREPRadio. BIG news this week as the three of them (with 5 able team mates, of course) have managed to complete the Dark Hours raid. Three times in fact. So, as you'd expect, the lads start the podcast this week discussing the raid and their overall thoughts on it's appeal, enjoyment and difficulty levels.
Following on from their raid chat there was a State of the Game this week for the lads to discuss. Thylander joined Hamish this week to discuss some of the finer details of Title Update 4 which is now available for testing on the PTS. The stand-out news of this update is Specialisation #4 - "The Gunner". Complete with a Heavy LMG, (aka Rail Gun) this specialisation gives Division 2 players the chance to be a tank while bathing their enemies in bullets. The lads discuss, at length, the TU4 information and speculate as only they can about what some of the "secrets" could mean for the future of the game they love.
As is now tradition the lads end the show with questions from their Discord server.

#161: AI'S BUST & IT'S ALL DREW’s FAULT May 30, 2019

Mike, Rob and Luke are back with Episode 161 of SITREPRadio. This week the lads gloss over the fact that they still haven't bested Razorback, that pesky drone-filled son-of-a-bitch, and concentrate on speculating what Title Update 4 will contain, as well as going over this weeks State of the Game broadcast.
Drew, from the developer team, joined Hamish this week to apologise for the recent AI-bug that came into the game with Title Update 3. He assured the player base that a fix was coming very soon and stated how disappointed and pissed-off the entire AI-team were that this bug found it's way into the game, even after two PTS phases. To be honest, it was refreshing and commendable to see someone sit in front of the camera and apologise for a mistake - not that it was necessary. That kind of upfront interaction is something that should be applauded as-and-when it happens, even encouraged. No-one's perfect, right?!
Oh, and Borrietheblade DOES NOT appear in this week's episode. You're welcome.
As is now tradition the lads end the show with questions from their Discord server.

#160: KEEP CALM AND RAID May 27, 2019

Episode 160 is, unsurprisingly, focused on Operation Dark Hours, the first ever Raid that has graced the Tom Clancy's The Division franchise.
Mike, Rob and Luke have played it. They've lost sleep because of it. Their characters have been bloodied, beaten, bruised and bullied by it. And no, they haven't completed it......yet! The lads spend the majority of this episode giving their reviews and feedback of the raid and its difficulty. Oh, and for the second week running the lads are joined by Borrietheblade.

#159: Matchmaking for the Raid, Whats that? May 16, 2019

This weeks episode of the show is a lengthy one some make sure to have a beer, coffee or other beverage of your choice. As we discuss the latest happenings in #TheDivision 2. Give our thoughts on how TU3 has affected our builds and any other bugs or other issues we've seen crop up.
Not only that but the raid is dropping this week and it's now been confirmed that there will not be any matchmaking available at launch. Which has caused quite the stir in the community this week. So of course without Luke on the podcast allowed Mike and Rob to go completely off the rails and discuss comparisons to Destiny raids.

#158: Title Update 3 & Raid Inbound May 09, 2019

Mike, Rob and Luke go over all the definitive news surrounding Title Update 3 fresh from the announcement that it will drop on all platforms one day next week. That's right, the PTS is closing and the final tiny tweaks are being put in place ready for the patch to go live. There is also confirmation that the Raid is still on track for release before the end of May, and will be live real soon. However, it will not go live at the exact time of TU3 so that players have a little bit of time to adapt to the plethora of changes that are being implimented.

#157: Gearsets & PVE Dark Zone? May 01, 2019

For Episode 157 of SITREP Radio the lads talk Gear Sets and Dark Zone.
Mike, Rob and Luke talk through the talents that have been data-mined for the next three Gear Sets that are due to drop in The Division 2. Of course, this could all be conjecture at this stage as everything about these Gear Sets is subject to change, but that doesn't stop the lads giving them a good going over and theorising about their potential impact on the game.
There is also a lengthy conversation about whether or not the developers should now relent and give-in to the demands for a PvE-only Dark Zone.
As is now tradition the lads end the show with questions and feedback from their Discord server.

Mike, Rob and Luke bring you Episode #154 of SITREP Radio, which this week focuses on the news that a balancing pass is well in the works and that a P.T.S for this will be going live next week in order to test "Title Update 3" which is due on April 25th.

#153: BALANCE BEFORE THE BASIN Apr 04, 2019

Episode #153 of SITREP Radio focuses on the upcoming release of the Tidal Basin Stronghold within the "Invasion : Battle for D.C." free update this Friday (April 5th). The lads board the hype train in anticipation.
Mike, Rob and Luke also discuss this week's State of the Game broadcast which Fredrik Thylander was a guest co-host of in Hamish's absence. There was much talk of weapon re-balancing, skill changes and also mod re-works. Most of the aforementioned changes met with the lads' approval, but there were certain things that they preferred the previous iteration of. We'd love to know how you feel about them.
Oh, and as a weird side-track the lads start off this week discussing The Matrix. Yep. You read that correctly!

#152: WT5 & TIDAL BASIN ANNOUNCED Mar 27, 2019

Enough is enough! We've each bitten our tongues as long as we could, so here is Episode #152 of SITREP Radio, with spoilers galore.

This is our review of the game thus far, and our impressions and opinions on everything we've seen up to now.

#151: A BLOODY GOOD LAUNCH Mar 21, 2019

Ok - barely a week in to the official launch of The Division 2 and the lads are back with Episode #151 of SITREPRadio to bring you all the news, hype and initial reaction to the beautiful world of Washington D.C. through the eyes of three agents.
Straight off the bat, we just want to say the Podcast is spoiler free again this week. We will talk about spoilers and stuff and things next week for Episode #152, but for now we are biting our tongues somewhat so that people can enjoy all that Washington D.C. has to offer for themselves. So, as is our usual recommendation - grab a beer [insert alternative alcoholic beverage here] and make yourself comfortable while the lads give their reactions to a thoroughly solid TD2 launch.

#150: Launch & First Thoughts Mar 14, 2019

Episode #150 of SITREPRadio is here, and so is The Division 2. That's right, the sequel we have been bleating on about for 12 months is now here, and all three of the lads have been living on vastly reduced sleep because of it.
Straight off the bat, we just want to say the Podcast is spoiler free, and will be for at least the next 2 episodes in order to give people to really dive into the nitty-gritty of the game and enjoy all aspects of taking back Washington D.C.
The lads are obviously high on the hype right now, and possibly a little delirious from a lack of sleep, but they do their best to talk in actual sentences and recap the news as best they can. That's right, there was a State of the Game this week, and there will be a Maintenance to fix some very minor issues too.
We hope you're all enjoying The Division 2 as much as us 3 are. It's OUTSTANDING!

#149: SO MUCH ENDGAME CONTENT! Mar 08, 2019

Ok, this is it - the final episode of SITREPRadio before The Division 2 is officially launched. That's right girls and boys, TD2 is nearly upon us. It's fair to say Mike, Rob and Luke are hyped during this weeks' podcast as not only have the 3 of them been enjoying the Open Beta throughout the previous weekend, they've also had a juicy State of the Game to digest.
With plenty of news and details to go through this week courtesy of Trick Dempsey (Senior Game Designer at Massive) appearing on State of the Game this week we recommend you get yourself comfortable and pour a large drink.

#148: Year 1 Episodes & Beyond Mar 01, 2019

Mike, Rob and Luke are back to present Episode 148 of SITREP Radio with much news to talk about this week thanks to the return of State of the Game. That's right, those lovable scamps Hamish and Yannick were back in-front of the cameras this week to bring us finer details of the Year 1 Pass and the road-map of the content drops we can expect post-launch.
With details of new story missions, new Specializations, new game modes, exclusive Year 1 pass rewards, how monetization in The Division 2 will work (trust us, it's really good this time around) and also the teams plan to support the game with additional updates for new gear, new exotics and quality of life and bug-fixing updates, there really is a lot to talk about and discuss during this weeks podcast.

Mike, Rob and Luke present Episode 147 of SITREP Radio where the focus of the show this week is the news drop regarding Clans in The Division 2, as well as our thoughts and feelings regarding the End Game trailer that Ubisoft released earlier this week.
Luke also provides a little bit of feedback from the couple of hours he managed to squeeze in on the PC Technical Test this week after being invited to test that. Spoiler = all signs are positive and the guys are more hyped than ever for the middle of March.
*Apologies for the show being late this week. Mike was ill and had to skip our usual recording time slot, but with the amount of news around this week we felt it best if the 3 of us were all present.

#146: PRIVATE BETA IMPRESSIONS Feb 15, 2019

Episode 146 of SITREP Radio is dedicated to The Division 2 Private Beta which all three of your hosts were lucky enough to be a part of during the past week. Mike, Rob and Luke go over the best and worst bits, and their likes and dislikes of the portions of the sequel that were present in the beta, and what they would like to see changed/improved upon (which to be fair, isn't much!).
It's a lengthy one this week boys and girls, so make sure you've been to the toilet first, have yourself a couple of alcoholic beverages pre-chilled and ready to be consumed, and get yourself super comfortable.

Mike, Rob and Luke present Episode 145 of SITREP Radio, where the major topic of discussion is the impending Division 2 Private Beta which the lads will all be enjoying, exploring and testing over the coming 5 days. That's right, we're just 5 weeks out from The Division 2's official launch and the private beta phase is finally here. It's fair to say the hype levels are off the chart during this weeks episode.
The lads go over the finer details that were discussed during Tuesday's community Special Report stream from Hamish and Yannick, featuring Drew from the Developer team, just in case anyone missed it. The boys obviously add in their own thoughts, feelings and opinions on the news as they break down exactly what is included in the beta.

#144: Private Beta News & Community EP Feat: Ctcunningham Feb 01, 2019

Episode 144 of SITREP Radio is a very special community episode this week as Mike, Rob and Luke are joined by CTCunningham, AKA Chuck.
Chuck has been a huge supporter of all things SITREP Radio, and it was genuinely an honour to share a mic and a few beers with him to discuss his role in the TCTD community and how he found himself immersed so heavily in it.
The lads open up with news of the Private Beta announcement that was released via an excellent trailer earlier this week, and then dive straight into their chat with Chuck. So, join us in having a beer (or two), find yourself a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the show. Cheers.

The lads are back once again to present Episode 143 of SITREP Radio, where the three of them have a good ol' chat about all the Dark Zone and PvP news that came out of this weeks "Special Report" stream from the Community Team over at Ubisoft towers.
Petter was joined by Julian Gerighty, Mathias Karlson, Terry Spier and Keith Evans from Ubisoft and RedStorm respectively. They broke down some of what we can expect from the various Dark Zone iterations, as well as the dedicated PvP modes that are going to be in Division 2 at launch.

The squad is back to full strength this week as Mike, Rob and Luke present Episode 142 of SITREP Radio.
HUGE news this week as not only was there a brand new story trailer for The Division 2, but we also had not one but two Dark Zone reveal videos from Ubisoft which finally revealed a lot of details about the infamous PvPvE area of the game. To coincide with that there was another Intelligence Annex giving even more Dark Zone details. Listen to the lads as they pay for their tickets and load their luggage onto the Hype Train.

#141: Embargo, Story & Recommended PC Details Jan 11, 2019

Bringing you Episode 141 of SITREP Radio is Mike and Luke. That's right, Rob is AWOL once again (well, he's technically been working shifts again this week - but we didn't give him permission, so AWOL kinda sorta fits!)
Anyway, this week in our world that revolves around all things Tom Clancy's The Division we actually had some news dropping this week regarding The Division 2. That's right - actual news. So, this week we heard about a new partnership that Ubisoft have entered into regarding supply of the game to PC gamers. We also had our very first look at the minimum, recommended and elite specifications for The Division 2 on PC.
In other news, Mike read the "Extremis Malis" Division 2 comic (Edition 1) that Darkhorse Comics released this week and Luke pre-ordered "Broken Dawn", the Alex Irvine novel that is to accompany Division 2.

#140: ESRB REVEALS NEW STORY ELEMENTS Jan 04, 2019

Happy New Year Agents.
We can officially say The Division 2 will be released this year. YES!!!
With that in mind Mike, Rob and Luke sit down to discuss all the latest news and information surrounding both The Division and it's impending sequel during Episode #140 of SITREP Radio. In The Division, the penultimate shield, "Marshal", was released this week. This is the shield where agents will need to have collected all 24 Exotic Weapons and 6 Exotic Gear Pieces, and have them safely stored away in either their Stash Box or in one characters' inventory.
In The Division 2 however there hasn't been much news released over the holiday period. However, the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) initial warnings have been made available this week and in that there are some juicy details about the nature of the content of the sequel, so the boys have a good old chat about that.

#138: THE DIVISION IS IT STILL WORTH BUYING? Dec 21, 2018

Happy Holidays Agents!
TeamSITREP is back to full strength this week as Mike, Rob and Luke take the time to talk about all things Tom Clancy's The Division. Fresh from the Division 2 Technical Alpha, Rob and Luke give away all the juicy secrets* and Mike tries to convince anyone out there that hasn't tried The Division yet that now is the time to try it, especially as the game is SUPER cheap right now in the Uplay Store sale.
*That's a joke. There are no Division 2 Technical Alpha secrets contained within this podcast. Nor will there ever be. We have no desire to be sued by Ubisoft.

#137: ALPHA GOES LIVE & COMMUNITY SALT Dec 14, 2018

Episode 137 of SITREP Radio is a two-man affair as Mike and Luke discuss the latest news from the world of Tom Clancy's The Division. There is some juicy news this week as not only is there a community-focused PR event taking place this week with the larger/more popular content creators being invited to various Ubisoft owned studios to play TCTD2, but there is also a limited-access Technical Alpha going live this weekend too.
Before the rumours start once again that he is dead or has been sacked from the show - Rob is on shift work again this week so he was relieved of podcasting duties; however he will return in the not-too-distant-future. We promise.

There are plenty of juicy details to go through, so the lads definitely recommend finding yourself somewhere comfortable to sit, grab a beer and settle in for a news dump.

#134: Community EP: BorrieTheBlade Nov 23, 2018

Episode 134 of SITREP Radio is somewhat of a throwback episode as Mike, Rob and Luke are joined by Boris "BorrietheBlade" to talk about the life of TCTD and reminisce about pretty much the entire life of the game.
Boris has been on SITREP Radio before, during the "Live from GamesCom" episode, but this time with much more time to utilise the lads really get a chance to pick at his brain and see what made him first dive into The Division, his feelings on the game in its current guise and also what his expectations are for The Division 2.

#133: Community EP: Feat Star Player CPT.Kharg Nov 16, 2018

Episode 133 of SITREP Radio is focused around the UbiSoft Star Player program as Mike and Luke are joined by Captain Kevin, everyone's favourite cosplaying-airline-captain. Captain Kevin is fresh from experiencing the Star Player program for Paris Games Week where he got some sneaky-peaky behind the scenes looks at UbiSoft HQ and their testing lab, as well as obviously playing TCTD2 demo. The lads dig into what Kevin got to experience during his Star Player experience as well as what he took away from trying out the TCTD2 demo.

#132: What Happened To Central Park? Nov 09, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke present Episode 132 of SITREP Radio where the focus of this weeks episode is the things we didn't get in Tom Clancy's The Division. The guys speculate as to the reasons Central Park never quite materialized in the live game, and what sort of content that area could have housed. There is also talk of what could be part of the playable area for TD2, with Military Bases/Fortresses and Airports being the main source of speculation for Washington DC.

#131: Launching The Division 2 Nov 02, 2018

Mike, Rob, and Luke present Episode 131 of SITREP Radio, where this week the focus is on what we can safely expect from The Division 2 and what aspects of other games we have been playing recently that we'd like to "borrow" and implement into the new game. With the lads off playing a variety of differing games of-late (PUBG, Escape From Tarkov, Prey, Resident Evil 7, Spiderman, Destiny 2 and RDR2 to name but-a-few) there is plenty of story, features and differing mechanics to choose from, so pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink and listen to the lads' wish list.

#130: THE TRUE SON’S & EXPECTATIONS Oct 26, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke are back to bring you Episode 130 of SITREP Radio. This week the lads go through the second Intelligence Annex from the development team of Division 2. In this release the sole focus is the NPC-faction we know from the E3 game trailers, and the playable demo, "True Sons". We learn more about who they are and who their leader is. There is also plenty of lore behind how they came to be a powerful force within Washington D.C. and we also get details of the 10 (ten) character archetypes within this faction (eg a medic with shock pads that can revive down enemy NPCs).
The lads also discuss toxicity within gaming culture and how they'd like to see it handled in the future.

Mike, Rob and Luke present Episode 129 of SITREP Radio which this week focuses on the juicy details Julian Gerighty dished out about Tom Clancy's The Division 2 during UbiDay 2018 in Japan. We had a real good look at the full map during the stream, with the 6 differing environments clearly marked out with beautiful accompanying screen shots. With teasers towards details of new enemy factions being announced in November, and Dark Zone details coming in December, there clearly is much to look forward to during the coming couple of months, so stay tuned.

#128: TD2 WEAPONS & TALENTS Oct 12, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke bring you Episode 128 of SITREP Radio, providing you with the latest news from the world of Tom Clancy's The Division. This week the lads have a lengthy discussion around the news that came from State of the Game, where Yannick was joined by Fredrik Thylander, lead 3C designer for TCTD2 - AKA "The Weapon's Guy". With the DevBlog that came out a couple of weeks ago still relatively fresh in everyone's mind, Mr Thylander went into far more detail regarding weapons and weapon talents for The Division 2. He tried to answer as many of the communities' question as he realistically could, while still keeping secrets back, as well as not discussing anything that was still "being worked on". Listen to Mike, Rob and Luke get super-hyped as they discuss all the new pew-pews.

#127: Sharing Loot And PVP Modes Oct 05, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke present Episode #127 of SITREP Radio where the big topic of discussion this week is loot, and the ability to share it in #TheDivision2. This is quite a divisive subject and the answer is not straight forward because of the number of contributing factors (loot drop rates or drops being gated behind and/or tied to specific content, for example) but the lads give it a good going-over anyway.
The lads also dive into the PvP world to discuss their preference of either Team Deathmatch or Deathmatch after RedStorm Creative Director Terry Spier tweeted that exact question earlier this week. Obviously that got the community pretty hyped for "what might be", but scrolling through the comments it would appear TDM is the more popular choice. Do the boys agree though?

#126: Weapons, Talents, & The 1.8.3 Meta Sep 28, 2018

For Episode 126 of SITREP Radio Mike, Rob and Luke dive into the DevBlog that was released on Thursday afternoon and pick out the juiciest bits. There is plenty that we already knew, but some brand new details such as grenade restrictions and a brand new "Rifle" weapon category were also included. These DevBlogs will be released intermittently up until the release of The Division 2, so as the game's release edges closer and closer we expect to see more details emerge.

#125: Clans, Raids and Cheese? Sep 21, 2018

Communication tools, community spaces, stat sharing/monitoring and group activities where participation is mandatory if you want your reward all feature heavily during this discussion.
With #Destiny being a hot topic recently the lads also put their speculation hats on and talk about what Raids in The Division 2 could be like, and also what the three of them would want to see in terms of difficulty and mechanics.

#124: HOW IMPORTANT IS THE BETA? Sep 14, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke present Episode 124 of SITREP Radio, a podcast dedicated to all things Tom Clancy's The Division. This week the lads have a good old discussion regarding gaming betas. There is speculation from the 3 of them as to when the beta to The Division 2 might be, why it would be good for the overall health of the game and how the lads hope it is treated by the community this time around.
In other news, this week Mike has been obsessed with Spiderman, Rob has been 'ill' and Luke got a second PC character to level 30 in The Division so that he can make more Classified builds. Rob and Mike close out the show sharing stories of their children. That's definitely a first for SITREP Radio.

Spoiler - all 3 are going to pre-order Tom Clancy's The Division 2 in one form or another, so you can pretty much guess where they stand on that issue.
With update 1.8.3 going live while the boys were away in Germany they use this weeks episode to discuss the re-balancing of the Striker Classified Gear Set bonuses, as well as the other changes the new patch bought to the game.

#120: Getting to Know: Community Developer Petter Mårtensson Aug 17, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke are very proud to present episode #120 of SITREPRadio, which this week includes super special guest Petter Mårtensson, who if you don't know is a UbiMassive Community Developer for Tom Clancy's The Division and The Division 2. This interview is focused heavily on who Petter is outside of his Community Developer role and what makes him tick, but of course there is a healthy sprinkling of The Division content mixed in too for good measure. It is worth noting that this weeks episode was recorded in advance, so there is no news covered, for obvious reasons.
We really hope you enjoy our chat with Petter, and we also hope to bring you more of these "Getting to Know" feature-based episodes soon.

#119: SURVIVAL, LOOT, & UPDATE 1.8.3 Aug 10, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke are back with episode #119 of SITREPRadio. As always, the lads bring you the very latest news and happenings from the world of Tom Clancy's The Division, and they have a good-old chin-wag about loot. Drop rates, content-gating, crafting and the grind in general all come under the microscope this week, as the 3 of them try to speculate what The Division 2 will be like for casual and hardcore players alike.
State of the Game was a juicy one this week as Petter and Yannick not only announced that the next Shield, "Pheonix" would be live as of the 16th August, but also that another Global Event would be going live by the end of August. The guys also did a quick recap of what they are planning to do with update 1.8.3, but stayed clear of specifics.

There was no State of the Game this week, but with Global Event : Assault in full flow this week we are anticipating a SotG next week with Stats with Yannick, and possibly news on the incoming nerf to Strikers.
As is now a weekly feature, the lads wrap up the show with a couple of questions from their listeners and discord community.

#117: Thick, Fast and Deadly Jul 27, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke are back this week with Episode #117. Everythings back to normal in this episode as the guys discuss this week news from the SOTG. And the announcement of next weeks GE:Assault.
Also the discussion of no platform exclusivity for The Division 2 is much welcomed news for the lads. As well a discussion on whether the Season Pass for the DLC 2 years on is still worth picking up.

#116: EXPANDING THE WORLD OF THE DIVISION Jul 20, 2018

After taking their first ever week off from the show Mike, Rob and Luke are back this week with Episode #116. Not to place the blame at anyone's doorstep or anything but the reason we didn't record last week was because Mike and his lovely wife had their second baby on recording-day last week, so Rob and Luke jumped at the opportunity to take the night off from talking about The Division, and instead played The Division.
Just like in the olden days Hamish and Yannick presented State of the Game this week while Petter is currently away enjoying his summer break. The bearded one and the tattooed one presented us with official news of a brand new Shield being launched today, and in support of that the team have made The Underground paid DLC free for a whole week. That's right, from today (Thursday 19th July until the maintenance on Thursday 26th July) The Underground is free for all. Go enjoy, Agents.

#115: The Dark Zone Experience Jul 06, 2018

This week for Episode #115 Mike, Rob and Luke talk at length about The Dark Zone that the lads know and love, and also speculate as to what The Dark Zone Experience may be like in TCTD2 after Red Storm's Terry Spier put out a couple of tweets asking about peoples love/hate relationship with The Dark Zone.
Petter and Hamish presented State of the Game episode 101 this week, with Yannick away on his holi-bobs somewhere. There wasn't any news, as such, but the guys did say that while there definitely will be a new shield launching this month (July), the in-game counter showing that it is launching in a week may not be completely accurate and that agents should keep their eyes peeled for announcements on this soon. There was a brief round up of news from E3 seeing as this was the first SotG since everyone went to LA for the TCTD2 reveal. There was also plenty of community focus this week too.
The lads quickly wrap up the show with a couple of questions from their listeners and discord community.

#114: The Division 2 vs Anthem vs Destiny 2 Jun 29, 2018

Another week has passed, so that means there is another episode of SITREP Radio for you lovely people to wrap your ears around as Mike, Rob and Luke present episode #114.
Once again there was no SotG this week, so news is a little on the thin side. However, the lads do discuss the audience share that Destiny 2, Anthem and The Division 2 will be vying for shortly and how healthy competition of this sort will almost certainly mean that us, the gamers, will benefit in more ways than one.
In other news, Mike brings #IFM's back this week as he resurrects an old school idea we had many-podcasts ago regarding open-world PvP in The Division.

#113: OUTBREAK, SURVIVAL, AND MICROTRANSACTIONS Jun 22, 2018

SITREP Radio Episode #113 is here and Mike, Rob and Luke go over some of the Tom Clancy's The Division 2 news that has either been updated since last week, or because of the sheer volume of it all coming out of E32018 it was simply missed last time out.
There was no SotG this week, but The Division's twitter account earlier today confirmed that Global Event:Outbreak is being re-run from Monday June 25th for a whole week. So, anyone that missed out on the Classified Gear Sets and the Outbreak masks last time around have a chance to get their hands on them this coming week.

#112: THE DIVISION 2 GETS A MASSIVE REVEAL! Jun 15, 2018

SITREP Radio Episode #112 brings news of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 being officially unveiled at E32018, and oh man does it look bloody beautiful. Mike, Rob and Luke are VERY hyped this week, as is to be expected - but the lads do their best to run through everything we have seen and learned from E3.
In other news, update 1.8.2 went live to TCTD1 today, for free, on all platforms. Legendary versions of Madison Field Hospital and General Assembly are now available for all. In addition, "Shields" are now up and running, which give players the chance to unlock exclusive rewards in TCTD2.

#111: UPDATE 1.8.2 ARRIVES & NEW SOTG DIGS Jun 09, 2018

SITREP Radio Episode #111 brings news of Update 1.8.2 that is going live to all platforms on June 14th - that's a Thursday again this time around folks, just to try and catch us all out. Mike, Rob and Luke sit down and discuss all the juicy news in a way that only they can.
Petter and Yannick, with a fresh looking studio, presented State of the Game Episode 100 this week and dished out as much news regarding the new update as they were allowed. #TeamSITREP just want to take the time to congratulate Petter, Yannick and Hamish on reaching 100 episodes. A truly impressive feat and one that is very much appreciated by the three of us at SITREP Radio HQ for all the hard work they have put into the broadcasts over the last 2 and a half years.

#110: The Division 2 Wishes Jun 01, 2018

Mike, Rob and Luke sit down for a detailed discussion of what they want and/or expect from The Division 2 for SITREP Radio Episode #110.
Nothing was off limits so the lads talk about the whole smorgasbord of elements that either already do make up TCTD or could be added into TCTD2. Longer base-story, game location, more missions, differing/dynamic weather mechanics, enemy factions, loot levels and stats, gear sets, the dark zone, PvP in general and anti-cheat - the list could go on and on. The three of them couldn't always agree on the best way to proceed, but one thing they did agree on was they're glad they're not in charge of the direction of the sequel.

#109: YOU STOLE MY SIGNAL, YOU B*STARDS! May 28, 2018

Team SITREP are back up to full strength this week, so join Mike, Rob and Luke for SITREP Radio Episode #109. The lads talk about Global Event:Onslaught being extended by a few days until Thursday 31st May after a brief maintenance. There is also news of a new author being bought on board to potentially work on The Division 2 and the Chief Executive of Ubisoft admits to lessons they've learned from the first game and gives us snippets of what to expect from the sequel.
There was no State of the Game this week, in fact there won't be one until Thursday 7th June, when the guys bring us Episode 100.
The lads continue their weekly tradition of ending the show with more questions from their listeners and community.

#108: The Onslaught Begins May 18, 2018

SITREP Radio Episode 108 is here and this week. Things are a little different this week though as Mike is absent, so Rob and Luke take the reigns and serve up more of a conversation than a discussion.
There was an "unofficial" State of the Game this week as Petter and Yannick were live from the broom cupboard to tell us about the final Global Event, "Onslaught". It goes live this coming Monday (21st May) and will run for one week. The Classified Gear Sets on offer this time around are Predators Mark, Lone Star, FireCrest and Reclaimer. There are also 3 brand new masks for us to chase with the new commendations that are inbound with the new Global Event.
As is now a weekly tradition, the show ends with more questions from their listeners and community.

#107: Community Changes The Meta #Rogue29Club May 11, 2018

SITREP Radio Episode 107 is here and this week Mike, Rob and Luke are talking about the #Rogue29Club initiative that has been spreading across various social media outlets recently. The idea is not a new one, but does seem to have taken on a new lease of life with the recent surge in popularity it is enjoying and #TeamSITREP are not the only content creators out there that are currently playing The Division in this manner.
The idea is simple. Level a new agent up to level 29 and then cease any PvE activity that will reward you with XP. Gear up with as much High End (Gold) gear as you can possibly find within the DZ or the various vendors throughout the world of The Division and then get set for some gun-play focused PvP without a gearset (standard or classified) or an exotic in sight.
As is now a weekly tradition, the lads end the show with more questions from their listeners and community.

#105: EXTENDED BLACKOUT, MTX’S, AND NORMALIZATION Apr 27, 2018

SITREP Radio Episode 105 is here and Mike, Rob and Luke are ex-static to present this weeks supercharged episode full of shocking news, spark-ling content and lightning-fast wit. Ok, that last one is a stretch, I know, but we genuinely do believe you'll find this weeks show electrifying.
Ok, that's enough Global Event : Blackout / Electric-Boogaloo references already, right? My head Hertz from all this thinking! (Ok, seriously, I'm done now)
So the big news this week is that due to connection issues and stability problems during the first day or two of Global Event : Blackout on Monday and Tuesday, Petter and Yannick announced during State of the Game #99 that the team were extending Blackout's running time. This Global Event will now end on May 7th. That's right, we're getting a bonus week to grab up as many GE Credits as possible to finish off those Striker, Tactician, D3-FNC or Dead-Eye builds. Or if you prefer, grind out all three of the Rictus, Vulcan and Panda masks.
As is now a weekly tradition, the lads end the show with more questions from their listeners and community.

#104: GE:BLACKOUT, IT’S ELECTRIFYING! Apr 20, 2018

Episode 104 of SITREP Radio brings news of Global Event Blackout will be live from Monday April 23rd through to Monday April 30th, and will cycle through Classified Gear Sets D3-FNC, Striker, DeadEye and Tacticians Authority. There are also 3 brand new masks for Agents to acquire by completing some all new commendations, so next week sounds like being another grindy one.
Just before the lads hit the record button news broke that Deadpool 2 director David Leitch had signed on to direct The Division movie. He is signed on to do another movie first (the Fast and Furious "spinoff") but early reports suggest prep work for The Division movie would begin sometime in 2019. The lads obviously have quite a lengthy chat about this too during the show.
As ever, the lads end the show with more questions from their listeners and the community.
Also, for anyone that wants to, the lads have been busy expanding upon their Discord server with HUGE help from EidolonFox. The server is now home to three Tom Clancy focused podcasts, as well as a community hub for YouTubers, Streamers, Cosplayers and much more so feel free to pop on by and share a drink with us all https://discord.me/bulletsandbeer.

#103: Update 1.8.1 Strawberry is Here! Apr 13, 2018

Episode 103 of SITREP Radio looks over the exact details of update 1.8.1, which went live on all platforms earlier this week. Between increases to the drop rate of Classified loot, new Legendary missions and new Global Events, as a free year 3 update this is not too shabby at all.
Mike, Rob and Luke also have a lengthy discussion this week about skill trees, after a very detailed emailed from one of their listeners outlined their vision of how skill trees would work in The Division 2. Would they work in The Division 2? Would they detract from the unique style that makes The Division what it is? How do Skill Trees compare to the loot system that is in-play already? The lads discuss these points and more.
As ever, the lads end the show with more questions from their listeners and the community. This week the questions are more generalized in their gaming nature, rather than being solely about The Division, but they do lead to some good conversation.

#102: A ROYALE COVER BASED SHOOTER Apr 06, 2018

Episode 102 of SITREP Radio brings a recap of the news that update 1.8.1 will be live across all platforms next Thursday (that's April 12th). The lads run down exactly what the new, free, update will bring to players of The Division.
Mike, Rob and Luke also have a lengthy discussion this week about how improvements to fundamentals of The Division could be made in the sequel. Cover-Mechanics, Variations on the grind and PvP Time-to-Kill feature heavily.
The lads also discuss the "rumour" that the guys over at Massive are working on a brand new Battle Royale title, along side working on Tom Clancy's The Division 2 and the Avatar game. They must have some hard working developers over there in Sweden, that is for sure. This story has done the rounds on more than a couple of different websites this work, so while nothing is official and only "sources" are quoted, the lads thought it a good talking point to bring up during this weeks episode.

#101: Update 1.8.1 Inbound & Games as a Service Mar 30, 2018

Episode 101 of SITREP Radio has the boys returning to their normal surroundings, and by that we mean you can't see our faces this week as we laugh at inopportune times and try to put each other off.
Mike, Rob and Luke bring you news from this weeks State of the Game broadcast where Petter and Yannick announced that update 1.8.1 (a.k.a Strawberry) would be live to all platforms on Thursday April 12th. The lads also remind you all of what exactly is coming to the game with the latest update.
There was news from Ubisoft HQ this week about how they're looking at their games as more of a live service with extended periods of dedicated support, rather than churning out sequel after sequel. Mike, Rob and Luke discuss this stance from the studio and how they believe it will be a good thing, not only for The Division 2, but for gaming in general.

#100: EPISODE 100 : Celebrating With Friends Mar 26, 2018

SITREP Radio proudly present Episode 100. Mike, Rob and Luke are delighted to have made it this far, and just want to go on record that they have no intention of stopping either. Their collective passion for the game and their content is only getting stronger, and with The Division 2 somewhere on the horizon the lads are going to be around for quite a long time yet.
This week, not only was the episode broadcast live over at twitch.tv/sitrepradio, but two of this communities finest members agreed to share in the celebrations. Streamer and fellow-podcaster Orenji iro Sage finally graced the show, as did British streamer Kal. Both have been on the 'SITREP Guest Wishlist' for a while now so it was great to get them both involved in such an important episode.
And finally, the lads would like to extend their thanks to each and every one of you in listener-land. It has been a whole lot of fun making each and every episode of SITREPRadio, but without you lovely people taking the time to listen to our voices there really wouldn't be any point, so here's to you raises glass.

#99: STATS, STRIKE & PTS 1.8.1 Mar 16, 2018

Episode 99 (that's right, one away from triple digits) of SITREP Radio is a short one this week as the lads go over this weeks short State of the Game broadcast. They also have a brief chat about their experiences on the 1.8.1 PTS and talk Global Events and Classified Gear. Mike, Rob and Luke have also recently entered another Tom Clancy world, Rainbow 6 Siege so that gets a notable mention this week too.
The lads are also breaking their usual podcast schedule over the course of this next two episodes. Episode 99 is anticipated to be released slightly later than usual. Episode 100 will definitely be later than usual as this will be a special live episode over at twitch.tv/sitrepradio to mark the achievement. With plenty of drinks and a few special guests it promises to be a bumper episode.

#98: Road to The Division 2 Mar 09, 2018

In Episode 98 of SITREP Radio, the lads break the news that you've probably already heard unless you've been living under a rock this past day or two. Division 2 is officially a thing! Massive and a plethora of Ubisoft Studios have been working on the game for a while now (a small team since even before The Division officially launched) and while details are pretty much no existent other than the fact the game is in development, there will be a large Ubisoft presence at E3 in June this year where The Division 2 will be previewed. Until then the community will be left to speculate, and oh boy will we speculate.
During the State of the Game broadcast, a roadmap for Year 3 was also revealed. Updates 1.8.1 (Strawberry) and 1.8.2 (Parsnip) will be with us in April and June respectively, bringing 2 new Global Events as well as 4 missions upgraded for Legendary difficulty.

#97: YEAR 2 ANNIVERSARY GE EVENT ARRIVES Mar 02, 2018

Episode 97 of SITREP Radio provides news of the surprise Global Events that have been announced to re-run during each weekend of March. That's right "Outbreak", "Assault", "Strike" and "Ambush" are coming back for 5 days at a time (Thursday through Monday) starting this weekend March 1st - March 5th. So, if you weren't able to play for long during their first instance or perhaps haven't got all the Classified Gear Sets yet, this month is the month for you.
The lads make it a short episode this week so that they can farm the Global Event on PC, having recently migrated over from PS4 meaning for the first time in a little while they don't end the show with questions from their listeners.
Again Apologies for probably the worst episode in the history of the show.

#94: Rogues, Sharts, & Year 3 Discussion Feb 09, 2018

Episode 94 of SITREP Radio is here with all the latest news and views from the world of Tom Clancy's The Division.
This week's State of the Game broadcast was once again heavily community focused. However, before jumping into community stuff Petter was joined by Terry and Keith from RedStorm to talk about how they feel the game has been since 1.8 and specifically Rogue 2.0 went live. Petter also found time to talk about the emergency patch that was deployed on Monday to fix the AlphaBridge GearSet glitch, as well as a UI bug.
The lads ended the show with a detailed discussion about how they would like the story of The Division 2 to work, Linear Vs. Open World. There were some very interesting ideas put forward during this segment of the show, so please send plenty of feedback to Mike, Rob, and Luke as to whether you like their ideas and agree with their choices.

#93: Balancing Classifieds Feb 02, 2018

For the 93rd time, the lads at SITREP Radio HQ sit down to talk all things Tom Clancy's The Division. Fresh from Global Event: Ambush the lads discuss how kind or evil RNGesus was during their week-long PS4 grind. Spoiler Alert, none of them got all of the 4 new Classified Gearsets completed. Close, but no cigar.
This week's State of the Game broadcast was once again heavily community focused. There were more "Stats with Yannick" which are always fun and interesting. Yet again Petter and Yannick re-iterated their stance of patiently waiting before they make any changes to any of the Classified Gear Sets (nerfs or buffs). Other than that there wasn't really too much news around this week.
As is now becoming a weekly tradition Mike, Rob and Luke end the show with questions from their listeners/Discord community members.

#92: GE: AMBUSH LIVES! Jan 26, 2018

Because a Global Event is active this week's Episode (92) of SITREP Radio is a sleep-deprived affair, so be warned.
The lads have been chasing their 6-piece Classified builds of Alpha Bridge, Tacticians Authority, FireCrest and Hunter's Faith now that Ambush is live, but with only Tuesday and Wednesday night under their belts, the progress has been slow thus far. Hopefully, RNGesus blesses the 3 of them in the not-too-distant-future.
This week's State of the Game broadcast was once again heavily community focused. However, there was a "Stats with Yannick" segment, which is always fun. Petter and Yannick also re-iterated their stance of waiting until all 14 Classified Gear Sets have been live in the game for a little while before swinging the nerf hammer or even doing any minor tweaks, which #TeamSITREP think is an excellent approach.
As is the norm nowadays Mike, Rob and Luke close the show out with questions from their listeners/Discord community members.

#91: CACHES, SPECULATION & AN AMBUSH Jan 19, 2018

This week is Episode 91 of SITREP Radio, which due to a lack of any meaningful news is a more chilled out, laid back edition of the podcast you all know and love.
It was announced last week, but for anyone that missed it, the 4th Global Event, Ambush, is going live on Tuesday, 23rd January 2018. It will be live for 7 days and will bring the final 4 Classified Gear Sets into the game. These are Alpha Bridge, Tacticians Authority, FireCrest and Hunter's Faith. May RNG be ever in your favor, Agents.

#90: GE4 AMBUSH IS INBOUND AGENTS Jan 11, 2018

Episode 90 of SITREP Radio brings you the latest news from the world of The Division as only Mike, Rob and Luke can. Aside from official news the lads discuss Classified drop rates, the possibility of Classified Caches coming to the game in the future and a glitch that isn't a glitch because no-one can do the glitch. #Glitch.
As is now becoming the norm the lads round-out the show with a few questions from their listeners/community members.
State of the Game is back for the first time in 2018 and brought with it news of Global Event 4 : Ambush going live later this month. Petter, Yannick and somewhere in the background Hamish, discussed why they are not jumping straight into nerfing the Predator, Striker or Nomad gear sets and changes to the format of State of the Game from this point forward.

#89: Happy New Year Agents! Jan 05, 2018

SITREP Radio is back to its usual format this week as Mike, Rob and Luke present Episode 89. Fresh from the holiday break the lads are on form with their usual mix of gaming info and in-house banter.
Official news is a little light on the ground on this weeks show so the lads take the opportunity to talk about their favorite 1.8 builds, provide early information on Global Event: 4 "Ambush" and Rob gives a detailed break down of his Classified 6 piece D3-FNC shield-tank build.

#88: Back to the Future of The Division Dec 29, 2017

Episode 88 of SITREP Radio is a very special, almost certainly one-off, live episode that was half organized and half open to our Twitch followers to join up and chat, or simply post questions in chat. We'd like to apologize in advance for any lack of audio quality this week, as well as a plethora of cringe-worthy moments, but hey...this is SITREPRadio, you expect these things by now right?
The premise this week was a recap of The Division's Year 2 Content and looking back on what we as a community had received as content over the past year, what we'd like to see from any potential Year 3 and we also have a brief chat about what we think about any The Division 2 rumours/news that have been circulating recently.

#87: GE:Strike Outcome and Holiday Fun Dec 22, 2017

Global Event 3 : Strike is over and done with and Mike, Rob and Luke somehow managed to survive the sleep deprivation to record Episode 87 of SITREP Radio.
The lads go through how successful the GE was for them in terms of loot (spoiler: two of them finished all four sets, one of them didn't). They also discuss the new classified gear sets and how powerful they are and their effect on gameplay and build diversity. There is also talk of a Double Field Proficiency Cache event coming up for December 26-28th, as well as new Holiday-Themed Encrypted Caches that are being put into the game with Friday's maintenance and will contain all-new holiday themed vanity items.
And as a quick PSA - Episode 88 will be released as normal next week. We are not having a week off from recording and taking the p*** out of each other just because a fat man in a red suit is in town.

#86: GE3: Strike AKA Michael Bay Week Dec 15, 2017

Episode 86 of SITREP Radio is a short one this week as the boys want to farm as much of Global Event 3 : Strike as possible for those sweet sweet Classified Gear Sets.
So, as alluded to in the opening sentence, Global Event 3 : Strike is live and will remain live until Wednesday December 20th. That's an extra day, by the way. That's right, the guys over at Massive realised they had made a timing mistake, meaning the original cut-off point was going to be Monday rather than Tuesday as was expected/promised. So, to rectify this they decided to give us an extra day. Sounds fair - Thanks Massive.
This week's State of the Game broadcast was short, with Petter and Yannick once again at the helm. The focus of this week was dishing out a number of stats relating to in-game activities since the launch of update 1.8, and also the first 24 hours of GE3.

#85: Resistance is Futile Dec 08, 2017

Episode 85 of SITREP Radio is here, and so is update 1.8. That's right, the largest update since the release of the game is now live, for free, across all platforms. Join the lads this week as they try to make as much sense as possible running on around about 5 hours sleep form the night before. Mike, Rob, and Luke also spend almost the entirety of this weeks podcast trying to get a handle on their hype and excitement levels. [We apologize in advance]
This week's State of the Game broadcast saw Petter and Yannick discussing the 1.8 launch, their 24-hour Community Stream and also giving us the juicy details for the next Global Event: Strike.

#84: Update 1.8 Inbound Dec 01, 2017

Episode 84 of SITREP Radio is focused on the news that 1.8 will be live on all platforms, for free, next week (almost certainly Tuesday 5th December*).
Update 1.8 will bring Camp Hudson (new social space), Resistance (PvE horde mode), Skirmish (4 vs 4 PvP), Rogue 2.0, Underground improvements, Gear Optimisation Station, New Exotic Weapons, Additional Global Events and Additional Classified Gearsets. And yes, this is a completely free update. Now is definitely the time to either come back to the game or pick the game up for the first time. The game has never had so much content, nor has it ever been as balanced as it currently is.
Mike, Rob, and Luke, also look back on this week's State of the Game broadcast which once again featured Terry and Keith from RedStorm. They provided some behind the scenes details as to why they're making some of the changes that are coming to the live game, which gave the community some level of feedback and detail that we'd never had before.
*Not confirmed at the moment in time.

#83: Thanksgiving For Rogues? Nov 24, 2017

With the State of the Game on break this week while we wait for Update 1.8.with Luke out as well this week, Mike and Rob sit down and discuss some topics that caught their attention over the last week in The Division Community.
One being we finally get an explanation from the man himself Terry Spier as to why Rogue 2.0 is being left unchanged after the PTS going into Update 1.8.
The guys also discuss should almost a year and eight months, should the Season pass be free for all players and could we see it being free with the base game in the near future.
SITREPBuild of the week comes from as he gives the low down on his Ninja Tachshee build.
And finally we and the show with a suggestion for the SOTG from a listener that would hope to add to weekly discussions with content and questions from the community in various media formats.

#82: AGENTS STANDING BY FOR UPDATE 1.8 Nov 17, 2017

Mike, Rob and Luke are back to bring you Episode 82 of SITREP Radio. This week there is a bit of news regarding update 1.8, there is a new #IFM, there is plenty of State of the Game chatter and the lads talk about what they have been upto this week.
The main talk of the show, fresh from learning that Update 1.8 won't be with us until "Early December", was the guys taking a good long look at how lucky The Division community is to have the CMs and Devs that we do that interact with us on a weekly, even daily, basis via various mediums. Be it official forums, official streams, broadcasts such as State of the Game or posting on social medias such as Twitter or Reddit, they are regularly up for a discussion or to pass on helpful advice. Mike and Luke were engaged in a twitter back-and-forth with a few other agents earlier this week and they agreed we're probably not going to realise what we have until it's gone. That's why we decided to discuss it on the show this week and let them know we have actually realised and we appreciate them.

#81: Stay Classy In The Underground Nov 10, 2017

Episode 81 of SITREP Radio is here. Mike, Rob and Luke are back once again for more talk about Tom Clancy's The Division while the community patiently wait on update 1.8.
State of the Game did not provide a release date for the new update, which upset quite a few of the community members. The lads actually think this is a good thing though as clearly the patch is not being rushed to release and perhaps they are working on some of the issues/changes that were suggested during the PTS phases. In other State of the Game news Petter was joined by RedStorm's Terry Spier and Reflection's Jim Norris. Primarily The Underground was the focus of the chat, hence Jim's appearance - but talk did stray towards Skirmish, Resistance and Dark Zone. The 'behind the scenes' chat on this weeks broadcast was actually really good, enjoyable and a nice change of pace.
Mike, Rob and Luke also debut a new feature on the show this week - SITREPBuilds. The Guinea Pig for this is one of Luke's PvP builds; by his own admission probably his most fun PvP build - 6pc LoneStar with dual SMG's.

#80: Insight into the PTS and Rogue 2.0 Nov 03, 2017

SITREP Radio bring you Episode 80, with a focus on being more positive this week than they were last week.
To remind everyone - update 1.8 is a free update. COMPLETELY 100% free. It is bringing players of The Division brand new map areas (West Side Piers), a brand new PvE horde mode (Resistance), a brand new 4 vs 4 PvP mode (Skirmish), brand new lore, a brand new take on the Rogue Mechanics in the Dark Zone, a re-working of The Underground and new functionalities within the game such as the Optimisation Station. All for free. Yes there might be things that aren't quite to our liking (nor much of the community) such as certain mechanics within the new rogue system "Rogue 2.0" or the ease at which the Optimastion Station can be used to get "God Roll" gear - but the majority of patch 1.8 is bringing the player base more things to do, much of which is brand new. That can only be a good thing for the longevity of the game and for the health of the player base.
Yes we are aware we have been critical of this update previously, and we are critical of certain aspects of it this week too, but that doesn't take away from any of the aforementioned points, nor does it mean any of the three of us are likely to uninstall the game anytime soon.

#79: THE END OF THE PTS IS NIGH.....WHAT? Oct 27, 2017

The SITREP Radio crew are back to full strength for Episode 79. The Dollar Flu did not claim yet another victim last week, so Luke is back behind the mic and raring to get stuck into the hot topics of the week.
After a couple of weeks of "secrecy" where the majority, if not all, of Massive's community team went dark while TwitchCon was underway and apparently a series of in-house workshops were taking place in Sweden there was a bombshell dropped during this weeks State of the Game broadcast. It was left to Petter to drop the bomb that PTS3 would indeed be the final PTS phase ahead of update 1.8, and will be closing on Tuesday 31st October 2017.
This took the community by surprise, to say the least. Some are keeping the faith, claiming Massive must know what they're doing, while a lot of others are claiming this is too soon and update 1.8 is not ready considering this is the most content-rich update we have had since launch. Obviously Mike, Rob and Luke get well and truly stuck into this debate this week, as well as chatting over the other drips of news that have come out this week.

#78: Go Home Massive, You're Drunk. Oct 20, 2017

A very quiet week for The Division as there is no news from the SOTG as the some of the Community Team are busy.
Also SITREPLuke is AFK this week as he has been taken hostage by the Dollar Flu Bug leaving Mike and Rob to wildly speculate on unconfirmed PTS3 notes from the PC side.
The lads also go over some minor interesting news from The Division community as a Petition is started to hopefully make Ubisoft aware that players want a sequel to their beloved game.
Which leads to Mike and Rob discussing news of a Job posting for The Division for a QA/Tester on the successful franchise we all love. Which means it could be for The Division 2 or a Year 3 content of the game either way the lads would be happy.
And finally end the show with IFM where we would like to see a revamp to the existing mission playlists and rewards into a cohesive book ala Destiny that would give players some thing else to chase in game for completionists out there. However the lads realise they may have just been recalling what a Global Event instead.

#77: PTS 1.8 IS A HELLAVU FUN BUT... Oct 13, 2017

Episode 77 is upon us, bringing you all the latest news from the world of Tom Clancy's The Division. Mike, Rob and Luke delve deep into their PTS experiences as it went live on consoles this week. There is plenty of feedback, some ideas as to how certain things can be improved and chatter as to what is or is not enjoyable.
The lads also show off their e-peens as they acquired all three of the new Classified Gear Sets from the latest Global Event. Well, Mike and Luke did. For once RNGesus was not on Rob's side.
In other news, SotG was another short affair this week as PetterM quickly went over a couple of quick changes to the PTS build. He was also quickly joined by Mark and Sam from Ubisoft Reflections this week to talk about the Global Events. Assault was hugely successful and well received across the community, as Mike, Rob and Luke can attest to, but there was also plenty of news around two new Global Event types, namely Strike and Ambush.

#76: GE: LEEROY ASSAULT Oct 06, 2017

The SITREP Radio lads present to you Episode 76 with yet more of the latest news from the world of The Division. Mike, Rob and Luke talk all things Global Event this week as Global Event 2, "Assault", is currently live and is certainly a lot of fun to play/grind. Classified versions of the Striker, Sentry and Reclaimer Gear Sets have gone live with this Global Event too, with server queues being reported across all platforms during the first full day of play as Agents flocked back to the streets of NYC to farm those GE Credits.
In other news, SOTG was a 3-man affair this week as Petter took the reigns once again and was joined by RedStorm's finest Keith and Terry. The changes to the PTS build that has gone out this week for PTS Phase 2 were discussed, as well as a lot of positivity from the RedStorm gents as to the feedback PTS Phase 1 has provided.

#74: Hunters Going Deeper Underground Sep 22, 2017

SITREP Radio are back again with more of the latest news from the world of The Division. There was yet more exciting 1.8 news on State of the Game this week as both Ubisoft Leamington and RedStorm were given segments of the stream to talk about specific portions of update 1.8.
Ubisoft Leamington were tasked with delivering the first snippets of information regarding the improvements that are being made to The Underground. These are plentiful, and are looking to completely revitalise this game mode. RedStorm on the other hand spoke briefly about the 1.8 PTS, which is being split into phases for more comprehensive testing to take place. The other PTS news this week was that the PC version of the 1.8 PTS will be live from Friday 22nd September 2017, with the console version still being aimed for release on Tuesday 26th September 2017, although Petter did warn that this could potentially be delayed slightly.

Space Magic Explained (SITREP Edition) Sep 06, 2017

As a special bonus episode this week Mike and Rob try their best to explain the ins-and-outs of Destiny to Luke ahead of Destiny 2 being released on September 6th. So, if there are any listeners out there in the same position as Luke - never played Destiny but looking to play Destiny 2 - this might* just be the episode you need to get clued up.
Luke has kindly had a copy of the new game, complete with the DLC package, donated to him by listeners Spectrum74, Danny Anderson and CaptKevin under the understanding that listening to Luke talk about Space Magic would be both funny and entertaining. TeamSITREP aren't too sure about those claims, but are more than willing to keep up their end of the bargain, so here is the first of their Destiny-themed episodes. Look out for more 'special episodes' after the lads have had time to get their teeth into the new content, as well as an upcoming appearance on Mash Those Buttons' dedicated Destiny podcast "In Orbit" in the not-too-distant-future.
*Probably not. There was quite a lot of "adaptation" during this episode, and quite a few corrections too. Alcohol also played it's usual role.

#71: Update 1.8 = Hype Baguette Sep 01, 2017

This week the official Twitter account of The Division (@TheDivisionGame) went into tease-mode over-drive as a series of tweets went out over the course of 4 days containing in-game quotes, co-ordinates for in-game locations and generally just fueling speculation as to what might/is coming in the future of the game. Their final tweet of the sequence was "Signal source unknown. Extending search. ETA 48 hours". Exactly 48 hours later and the official trailer for Update 1.8 went live on YouTube. We were treated to glimpses of Resistance, Skirmish and the new map area "West Side Pier". If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out for yourselves here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Addk7cl5smg.
State of the Game this week was somewhat of a party as Hamish, Yannick and Petter were joined via video-link by RedStorm's very own Terry and Keith. The focus of the stream was showing off some of Update 1.8. - specifically West Side Pier, the new area of the map which contains the Aircraft Carrier "Intrepid".
Mike, Rob and Luke discuss all of the above and more in Episode 71, with hype playing a bit part in this weeks recording.

#70: Global Events are a Success. Leaderboards, Not So Much. Aug 25, 2017

With the first ever Global Event "Outbreak" over and done with, SITREP Radio is here to pick through the remains of the week and bring you the latest news from the world of The Division. There is obviously much talk of the Classified Gear drops, the Global Event, Encrypted Caches, and unfortunately far too much talk about leaderboards and the controversy surrounding it especially after how well the new update has come across to the community.
Mike, Rob, and Luke talk about their NinjaBag builds, their Classified Gear Set builds, how much they've been grinding away at the new update and the guys also answer a few questions from members of their Discord community.
Finally, the lads want to reiterate that they have thoroughly enjoyed update 1.7 and the global event and want to say Well Done and Congratulations to the guys over at Massive.

#69: The Carrots Back in this Meal for Two! Aug 18, 2017

SITREPRadio present episode 69, the focus of which is update 1.7 which went live on Tuesday. Mike, Rob and Luke have been grinding away at the Global Event since its launch, and are really enjoying the fun element that is very much back in-game now. “Outbreak” as this Global Event is known forces players to play missions, incursions and HVTs in a specific way, with a damage modifier being applied to you if you get too close to NPCs. This doesn’t quite agree with Rob and Luke’s play-style, but they certainly appreciate the way it is changing their focus and forcing them to change their Division-habits.
There is also talk of Commendations which also went live with the new update. These are challenges that get players to perform specific tasks (for example, burst 400 car tyres) with small rewards and new vanity patches for those that you complete. Completionists like Luke are really enjoying these and have multiple carrots to chase after, so #TeamSITREP say “go and chase those carrots guys and girls”.
Update 1.7 is a success, simple as that.

#68: 1.7 GETS A RELEASE DATE YAY! Aug 11, 2017

It’s official, update 1.7 will release on all platforms on Tuesday 15th August. The SITREP Radio lads have been taking a break from The Division recently playing a little here and there but focusing on other games in their collection of-late, but it’s fair to say they are all very much on-board for the new patch and will be grinding the incoming Global Event “Outbreak” when that goes live with the update. #TeamSITREP will also be streaming this weekend for the latest DCW event. With Luke now joining Mike and Rob as part of the PC MasterRace the boys will be streaming the grind from level 4 onwards (once the Base of Operations is unlocked at level 4 you can team-up and play co-operatively on The Division).
#IFM is shelved again this week so Mike, Rob and Luke end the show for the second week running with an extended chat about the other games they have been playing this week. Mike has been very focused this week on all 3 of the BioShock titles, Rob has jumped onto the Warframe train and Luke has been splitting his time between PUBG, LawBreakers and TeamFortress 2.

#67: And Now We Wait... Aug 04, 2017

With the Public Test Servers for update 1.7 now officially closed and the development team working on the final balancing and tweaking pass, the SITREP Radio lads take a quick look at the remaining issues ahead of a potential mid-August release for this patch. Shotguns, RNG, Global Event Caches, and LAG are all discussed and/or ranted about -- with several of the topics having featured pretty heavily across the Twitter and Reddit communities already this week.
With no #IFM discussion this week Mike, Rob, and Luke end the show with an extended chat about the games they have been playing this week while spending a bit of time away from The Division. Player Unknown’s Battle Grounds, Gigantic, Bioshock Remastered, LawBreakers, Rainbow Six Siege, and Battlefield 3 are all discussed, with the lads admitting to having a fair amount of fun across their various titles and platforms.

#66: RNG's a Bitch, Right? Jul 28, 2017

Mike, Rob and Luke bring you the latest news around The Division. With PTS3 live across all platforms update 1.7 is inching closer and closer. The guys over at Massive have all-but confirmed that this will be the final stage of the PTS, barring any game-breaking issues arising, and have tentatively stated a release date of “mid-August” is their aim for the final build of the update to go live. Obviously, this is very much subject to change, particularly over the course of the next week or so. Any feedback you have will still be greatly received by the dev-team, so carry on testing agents. Let’s make 1.7 as good as it possibly can be.
Mike was back on Ideas for Massive duty this week, and called for the studio to make the Season Pass Content free-for-all to help boost the player base. Failing that, go Destiny-esque and repackage the game with the entire set of up-to-date patches (including the DLCs) all in one box for an enticing price. We know this idea may be controversial seeing how the game and the Season Pass were approximately £75.00 upon release, but plenty of games have taken similar approaches in the past, and many more will follow this model in the future, so if it helps the game we here at #TeamSITREP would be fully behind this.
And finally, in other news the guys talk about their gaming week where Player Unknown’s Battle Grounds features heavily, especially now that Luke has caught-up with Mike and Rob in joining the PC Master Race.

#65: 1.7 PTS End is Near, But is it Ready? Jul 21, 2017

Mike, Rob and Luke are back for more talk around The Division. The main focus of this weeks episode is the outgoing PTS2, which Luke has been testing fairly rigorously and Mike has spent a few hours in too. The boys talk about buffs and nerfs to Classified Gear Sets and their drop-rates, give feedback on where they think the build of 1.7 is currently and provide news from State of the Game regarding PTS3 which is live on PC now, and hopefully launching on console next Tuesday (25/07/2017).
In other news Rob and Mike quiz Luke on his experiences in the Destiny 2 beta, and there’s a little more talk of Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds.
This weeks Ideas For Massive was a call for more stats in the game. Luke, Mike and Rob have all played games like Battlefield 1 which provide a plethora of in-game statistics. Luke has been wanting more and more stats to be added into The Division for a long time now, so made his request official this week with #IFM. These kind of tie-in with Commendations which are part of update 1.7, but perhaps don’t go far enough so things like Agents Killed, Weapon Accuracy, Most Played Mission, Times Died in Dark Zone are called for.

#64: Keep Calm & Test The Fucking PTS Jul 14, 2017

The focus of this weeks episode is the launch of the console PTS which the team are happy to announce Luke will be taking part in. There has been a lot of call throughout the life of The Division for PTS’ to be made available for console players, and that finally happened on Thursday for a lucky select group of 20,000 players (10,000 for each console). However, things haven’t quite gone as smoothly as Massive would have liked with the selection process, nor the launch, so Yannick tried his best to placate some of the community during this weeks State of the Game broadcast.
Sticking with the PTS, the lads call for those lucky enough to be taking part to go out and actually test things. Luke said he’s looking forward to theory crafting newer builds, especially if the newly revised NinjaBag is active. Runs of Survival, Last Stand and Underground are also on the agenda to see how changes to those portions of the content are looking ahead of 1.7’s release.
This weeks Ideas For Massive was a wish-list of sorts for vanity items, new gear mods and new weapon mods. This was to keep in-line with the brand new survey that Massive put out this week that was focused around the same subjects. For anyone that hasn’t had chance to fill the latest #TheDivision survey out, this is linked here.

#63: PTS 2 & WHERE'S THE CONSOLE PTS AT? Jul 07, 2017

Episode 63 of SITREP Radio sees the return of Luke to the team, fresh from two weeks sunning it up in the Caribbean. With the very able assistance of Mike and Rob there is plenty of talk about the PTS, both the freshly updated build for PC players, as well as the console PTS latest update. The lads also talk about what they have been up to this week gaming-wise. Apparently Rob and Mike have ditched their PS4’s this week and been living it up with the PC Master Race.
With Hamish on holiday this week, Yannick was flying solo for the State of the Game to bring news of PTS updates and to re-iterate the fact that the game is still being supported in terms of maintenance updates (as if to prove a point, this week they have fixed a wall glitch in DZ02).
It was supposed to be Luke’s turn to provide an Idea For Massive for the show segment this week, but he completely forgot. So, #IFM will return next week.

#61: CLASSIFIED GEARSETS ARRIVING WITH GLOBAL EVENTS Jun 23, 2017

On this weeks episode of the show Mike & Rob sit down to discuss the huge announcement of the rewards that will be available to players along side the Global Events coming to the world of The Division in the form of Classified Gear sets.
Classified Gear sets will be rewarded to players who take part in global events and earn caches to obtain a stat boost for the build of your choice. The classified gear sets will also come with a set performance buff. Players will also be rewarded by wearing 5/6 piece versions of the set with a unique talent that enhances the current use of the gearset.
These gear pieces will bring vast diversity and refresh the current way we play the game and will be fully tested in the upcoming PTS for all platforms. And we ask you to send all ideas, thoughts and bugs over to the official Ubisoft Division Forums.
Changes made to the Ninja Back Pack that makes it fricking awesome instead of plain useless! Finally we end this week's show with another #IFM where we discuss bringing Hunters into the LZ to helping make it easier for players to farm in game currencies by taking out Hunters that would stacking a buff to aid you.

#60: Commendations & E3 Discussion (FEAT REMPANCY) Jun 16, 2017

On this week episode the guys are joined by Rempancy from the Bombshell Jackets Podcast in SITREPLuke's absence to discuss a new feature being added to the game in Update 1.7. Commendations, previously known as feats, will be adding achievement like activities to the game which will take players back to the streets of New York to hunt down things that we might not have seen in game.
The commendations will award you not only with loot as you progress, but also give the player a new vanity option in the form of patches as we speculated correctly in recent episodes. And there is a special in game event this weekend giving players more rewards for killing named enemies.
After SOTG coverage the guys discussed E3 and all the games it brought to people's attention over the weekend. Listen to find out what games at E3 stuck out to the team.
We end this weeks episode of the podcast with another #IFM where SITREPRob wants to bring OP weapons to the game to then face off all other players in a timed event for fun-sises.

#59: Details on Global Events (featuring rxlyaT) Jun 09, 2017

SITREP Radio episode 59 brings you the latest news and views for all things The Division, with special guest rxlyaT or Taylor. Fresh from his experience at ETF-Charlie, we ask the YouTuber his thoughts on update 1.7, how he feels the ETF experience went, and what the future holds for the game we all love so dearly.
This week’s IFM (Ideas for Massive) was a collaborative effort where all four of the guys pitched in with points of view on something #TeamSITREP have mentioned many moons ago that they tentatively named “Faction Wars”. The premise of which is to re-capture the Light Zone/Main Map from roaming factions of, for example, cleaners who are taking over the map sector by sector until you make the map “100% safe” on a weekly or daily basis for rewards. Mike, Rob, and Luke believe an idea like this would breathe some much needed life into the map and bring PvE players a slice of new content that they are desperate for.
State of the Game was interrupted a few times this week, through no fault of anyone over at Massive (Thanks Twitch) so poor Hamish looked somewhat uncomfortable a couple of times. Without his trusty side kick to back him up, the first portion of 1.7 news was delivered by Hamish with the help of Tom and Mark from Reflections studio. Gabe was streaming a short preview of the current development build of update 1.7, and showed off the Global Events.

#58: The Road To Update 1.7 Begins Jun 02, 2017

ETF-Charlie is done, and therefore, the community is just waiting on official update 1.7 news. Well, everyone needs to put their patient pants back on as Massive aren’t quite ready to let those juicy details out just yet. We have heard a bit about “Global Events” and “Commendations”, but that is all for now.
Hamish, fresh from ETF-Charlie duties in Newcastle (UK), was back with State of the Game this week. Yannick, however, was not. Gabe sat in for him this week on what proved to be a very brief broadcast. The guys acknowledged that 1.6.1 did not fix everything they had wanted to fix, and the team are aware of a host of issues that they are working hard to rectify as soon as possible. Hamish also promised details of update 1.7 would be part of SotG “soon”.
Also, the boys will be taking part in the special one-day-DCW this Sunday (4th June 2017) in support of the Manchester bombing victims. Please please PLEASE check out as many of the community streams as possible from the DCW-fam and give generously to the official British RedCross and Manchester Evening News charity.

#57: Update 1.6.1 Is Locked & Loaded May 26, 2017

This week the boys talk about their experiences with patch 1.6.1, which went live in the game on Tuesday. Loadouts were the BIG addition to the game, and they’ve been very warmly received by #TeamSITREP, as has the backpack size increase. Build chat was obviously a feature of this weeks show because of this addition. Build diversity went up a notch for sure. There was also A LOT of bug fixing in this patch too, as Massive tentatively named this the “Quality of Life” patch. The lads also give a quick nod towards the new iteration of the Speed Challenge they have been running recently, so pay attention to their Twitters for all the details.
Because ETF-Charlie is currently on-going in Newcastle-upon-Tyne (UK), there was no State of the Game broadcast this week. It will be back next week as usual. It was Mike’s turn for the #IdeasForMassive segment this week. He put forward his idea regarding a pre-set build variant/game mode within Last Stand, which seemed to go down very well with Rob and Luke. Let the guys know what you think of their ideas either via Twitter or send the guys an email to their official podcast email address.

There's a new segment of the show making its debut this week. The cheekily titled “Ideas for Massive” is a 10/15 minute portion of the podcast dedicated to ideas that #TeamSITREP have either previously mentioned on the show, or brand new ideas they have recently brainstormed. This week Rob aired his idea for a Control Point type event that could bring more conflict to Dark Zone server. In terms of their gaming, the lads have been doing some serious grinding of Exotic Items this week. Falcon Lost and Dragons Nest Incursions as well as Times Square and Napalm Legendary missions. Unfortunately for the 3 of them, RNGesus was not on their side, so Rob still needs his Shortbow Kneepads while Mike and Luke are still yet to receive Urban MDRs.
The State of the Game broadcast this week was another brief affair, but did contain some important and exciting news. Hamish and Yannick announced that Update 1.6.1 would be released free on all platforms on Tuesday 23rd May. This is also the date that ETF Charlie begins, where update 1.7 will be previewed and discussed, but also where update 1.8 will begin to take shape. Good Luck to all 12 members of ETF Charlie, and do the community proud.
Finally, in response to last weeks episode featuring Arekkz, #TeamSITREP launched a petition or rather a “community show of hands” to see just how many people want a Battle Royale version of Survival to be implemented into The Division. Click here to show your support. Thank you!

#55: Surviving Battle Royale Style (Ft. Arekkz) May 12, 2017

SITREP Radio are proud to present Episode 55, featuring none-other than Arekkz. For those that don’t know, Arekkz is a powerhouse on YouTube and Twitter, and has been covering The Division from the get-go. He’s also been very vocal through various mediums about wanting to add-to and improve-upon Survival. Survival is a game mode that #TeamSITREP love, but definitely feel could be greatly improved upon.
The four of us share a belief that a Battle Royale version or mode within Survival would be brilliant fun, add a great deal to the game, and also prove to be incredibly popular with the community. We talk at great length about this and other ideas we have had in terms of improving The Division, and helping to realize the awesome potential this game has. The State of the Game broadcast this week was very brief, with Hamish and Yannick squeezed into Hamish’s streaming “booth” due to network issues elsewhere.
The studio are hoping to finalize update 1.6.1 before the weekend now that the PTS is finished, with a plan to release either on Tuesday, 23rd or Tuesday, 30th May (providing no disastrous problems are found during 3rd-party certification). ETF-C invites were sent out minutes before SotG began, so congratulations to anyone that was accepted and good luck with helping to craft updates 1.7 and 1.8.

#54: PTS 3 & A Teenage Mutant Ninja Backpacks? May 05, 2017

As ever, the lads provide their weekly round-up of all things The Division. They discuss their week in-the-game, give a quick shout-out to the winner of the latest #SITREPSpeedChallenge (new challenge in-bound next week), and come up with a couple of ideas for the outgoing Ninja Messenger Bike Backpack. That’s right, I said “outgoing”. The NMBB will be pulled from the loot pool once patch 1.6.1 goes live, with the dev-team wanting to re-work this exotic armour piece ready for a re-release during update 1.7. Anyone with any suggestions for this re-work please head over to the official Division forums and post away – the guys at Massive will be reading intently.
The State of the Game broadcast this week dropped somewhat of a surprise on the community, with the news that all backpacks will receive a retro-active increases to their capacity when patch 1.6.1 goes live at the end of the month. 120 items will be the new limit, up from the current 66 in order to maximise the effectiveness of the incoming loadouts system. Hamish and Yannick also announced that the application process for ETF-Charlie has now concluded, and those who are lucky enough to be picked for the workshops at Reflections Studio in Newcastle-upon-Tyne should be informed by the latter stages of next week.

#53: More PTS Changes Inbound for Update 1.6.1 Apr 28, 2017

Mike, Rob and Luke discuss the 1.6.1 PTS patch notes as well as getting direct feedback on the test build of the game from Rob who has been playing The Division a bit this week on his laptop. Also, #TeamSITREP have applied for round 3 of the ETF.
As usual the boys give a quick-round up of what they have been up to gaming-wise during the previous seven days. There is also a gentle nod (or two) towards The Division Community Weekend 3 (DCW3), which is taking place this very weekend (28th-30th April). Please come along and show your support to as many of those taking part as possible. The previous two iterations were brilliant fun and really successful, and this time around there are even more community members involved which means DCW3 promises to be even bigger and even better.

#52: PTS, ETF, and A One Year Anniversary Apr 21, 2017

#TeamSITREP are proud to present Episode 52. YES. An entire year of SITREP Radio. Cheers to everyone that has listened to even a single episode of our podcast, interacted with us over Twitter or Facebook, or popped into any of our streams. We really do appreciate every single one of the interactions. And here’s to another year [cheers]…
As usual, the boys talked about what they have been up to during the past week. The three of them have joined the Overwatch world recently, so there’s been plenty of that. Rob, as per usual, has been playing Destiny, and Luke has been the only one of the three that is still running The Division on a daily basis.
This weeks State of the Game broadcast delivered news that the PC-only PTS for update 1.6.1 will be live (unless something goes drastically wrong overnight) today at noon-ish (21/04/2017). #TeamSITREP urge anyone who is taking part in the PTS process to provide as much helpful feedback as possible across a variety of activities. This patch is focused around bug fixing and quality of life, so the more feedback we as community can provide back to the developers the better.

#51: Loadouts, Seasons, Feats, and Prestiege? Apr 14, 2017

Mike, Rob, and Luke decided to spit-ball a few ideas regarding the “Feats and Seasons” that The Division will be implementing with their upcoming updates. The boys talked about possibly introducing “Prestige” type modes to the game, as well as a lot of talk surrounding the patches/emblems that were hinted at in previous State of the Game Broadcasts. There were also ideas regarding new a Exotic Weapon and a few new Exotic/Named armour pieces.
The lads also give a shout-out towards their 52nd episode next week, which will mark a full year of content-support. There will be another of their always-enjoyable drunk streams to celebrate, so keep your eyes on Twitter for the official announcements from #TeamSITREP. This weeks State of the Game broadcast also delivered the exciting news that update 1.6.1 would be coming to PC-only PTS “soon”.
Loadouts were also confirmed as part of the upcoming free update. This particular addition has been pushed forward from an intended July/August release to May, which is great news for the community as this is something fans of the game have been calling for since release.

#50: Change to the SOTG Inbound Apr 07, 2017

SITREP Radio is proud to present their 50th Episode. That’s right, 50 episodes of the podcast! Cheers to that everyone!!
The lads used this weeks episode to say thanks to a few people while enjoying a cheeky couple of drinks to celebrate the aforementioned achievement. There is also a nod towards the newly unleashed #TeamSITREP Community over on Discord, which is now up-and-running for like-minded gamers (across PS4, XBoxOne and PC) to join up and use as a friendlier, more productive LFG service, as well as engage in healthy, positive discussions about The Division and other games that may be taking peoples fancy (such as Ghost Recon Wildlands or Mass Effect:Andromeda).
This week there was a very brief State of the Game broadcast where Hamish (running solo once again) put it to us, the community, that he wants to revamp the broadcasts and basically asked us all for our feedback on how we’d like the SotG to proceed. There wasn’t any other news this week, other than a reiteration of the PC-only PTS that is in-bound ahead of update 1.6.1.

#49: Quality of Life Patch Inbound & Community Mar 31, 2017

Mike, Rob and Luke are back for their weekly round-up of all things The Division, with news of changes fresh from this weeks State of the Game broadcast. There is also a nod towards the future with confirmation that update 1.6.1 is in bound sometime in May after a short PTS period. This update will be focused on Quality of Life improvements, Bug Fixing and Balancing but will not include Loadouts, which has been confirmed for update 1.7 that is due during Summer 2017.
In addition to their usual news-fest this week #TeamSITREP are joined by BinaryNumb (George). The lads were fortune enough to be invited on to the first ever broadcast of StolenSignalRadio last weekend, which Binary is a co-host of, so to return the sentiment the lads have been excited to hear George’s thoughts and get his opinions on a few things. This week was the perfect time for him to make his debut on SITREP Radio, as he is also the brains behind #TDCWeekend -- the community event focused around The Division and the positive side of it’s community. TDCWeekend2 is THIS very weekend (Friday 31st March, Saturday 1st April, and Sunday 2nd April) so keep your eyes on Twitch and Twitter for plenty of streams and updates.

#48: A Year One Retrospect & Beyond Mar 24, 2017

The usual SITREP Radio crew welcome four (yes 4) guests to the podcast this week to spread the word that this game is definitely not dead and to keep the positivity flowing through The Division community. Gracing the show with their voices and wisdom once again are friends-of-the-show DeepFriedDave and Weezer. The boys also give a very warm welcome to Tinkkz and Remy from #BombshellJackets to complete this weeks American Invasion and round-off the line-up for what #TeamSITREP have been affectionately calling “The Megasode” throughout the planning/preparation stages.
Topics for discussion range from reminiscing about the early days of The Division, its development cycle from vanilla through to 1.6, the three DLCs, the current state we feel the game is in, the recent YouTuber/Streamer exodus and our collective hopes/wish list for Year Two. With such a plethora of opinions and input on tap, this is another mammoth effort -- so once again the boys recommend you pour yourselves a drink and get comfortable.

#47: Some Year Two Clarity Mar 17, 2017

This week SITREP Radio talks about the clarification on Year 2 that was delivered to the community via the latest State of the Game broadcast. Hamish and Yannick apologised for mis-leading/disappointing the community with the special report last Wednesday, and admitted that they understand why the community reacted in such a negative manner. Without giving away any more concrete information they reassured the community that the studios involved throughout Year 1 were still dedicated to The Division throughout Year 2 and that full support (DLCs, Patches, Bug Fixing) were all incoming for Year 2.
Mike, Rob and Luke also re-iterate that SITREP Radio will be sticking around throughout Year 2 and that they will still be releasing weekly episodes. The boys remain optimistic as the game officially transitions into Year 2, and will continue to provide content with a positive outlook. Apologies if they didn't stay on target for this week's topics -- alcohol was a suspect for the cause.

#46: Our Final Stand as Year Two Begins Mar 10, 2017

#TeamSITREP give their reviews of 1.6 and Last Stand now that they’ve had their hands on them for more than a week. The overwhelming feeling is a positive one. Last Stand has gone down very well with Mike, Rob, and Luke and while the new difficulties are punishing, the boys are enjoying the challenge.
The team also want to congratulate everyone who took part in #TDCWeekend last weekend. It was a huge success, and very enjoyable. The Division also had it’s first birthday this week, and the team bought the community a Special Report to celebrate the fact. There were giveaways and discussions with members of the development team, and also initial details pertaining to Year 2 content. The community did not warm to this announcement, in fact it’s fair to say the reaction from many has been very negative indeed, but it remains to be seen just what the future holds for The Division.

#45: Salty Avatars and The Last Stand Mar 03, 2017

The final DLC of the Season Pass, Last Stand, was released across all platforms this week along with the latest free patch update 1.6. Mike, Rob, and Luke have been chomping at the bit to get their hands on the PvP expansion so it’s safe to say they’ll have done little else this week. The guys also give you the rundown of this week’s State of the Game broadcast. Yannick and Hamish did reveal that the team over at Massive would be celebrating the one year anniversary of the release of the game on Wednesday and stated that we “would not want to miss what they have planned”, so set your reminders now Agents.
#TeamSITREP will also be heavily involved in the Division Community Weekend this coming weekend (Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th, and Sunday 5th March). This is a content-creator driven initiative featuring YouTubers, streamers, artists and fellow podcasters, so your support and participation will be greatly appreciated. There will be a smorgasbord of activities and challenges running across the entire weekend, including a weekend version of the SITREP Speedrun Challenge. Keep your eyes on Twitter.

#44: Pancakes, PVP, and All Things Weezer (FT GameWithWeezer) Feb 24, 2017

As was teased during last week’s episode, Mike, Rob and Luke sit down this week for an informative chat with none other than @GameWithWeezer. It’s another lengthy effort, but in all honesty this interview could have gone on all night. There is talk of update 1.6, the Last Stand DLC, ETF2, builds, gaming history, and we push for Year 2 exclusives/secrets. There’s also the back-story of Weezer’s past interactions with the band he shares his name with. So pour yourself a drink, get comfortable, and settle in for Episode 44.
In other news, Hamish soloed this week’s State of the Game broadcast and announced that Update 1.6 and the Last Stand DLC would be released on PS4, XBox One, and PC on Tuesday 28th February 2017. And finally, #TeamSITREP have been running Week 2 of their #SRRSpeedChallenge all week, with some official The Division merchandise on offer for the winner, kindly supplied by the awesome guys over at Massive.
Details of the challenge can be found on any of the guys’ Twitter handles (@sitrepradiopod, @SITREPLuke or @sitrepradiorob) or via the hashtags #SRRSpeedChallenge or #TeamSITREP. Week 3 of the challenge will be announced over the weekend.

#43: Hang Tight Agents, It's On The Way! Feb 17, 2017

#TeamSITREP presents a short episode this week, as there really wasn’t much news around. The State of the Game broadcast provided the news that update 1.6/Last Stand had gone out to Sony and Microsoft for authentication, but an official release date was not provided. Yannick and Hamish also provided a tiny bit of news about the tweeks that were made to the patch after the PTS closed down. The biggest bit of news from this weeks broadcast was undoubtedly that Yamish finally admitted the game would continue to be supported and updated beyond the current “Year One” cycle, but stopped short of announcing an official “Year Two”. An official announcement will no doubt be incoming shortly as the Anniversary of release rapidly approaches.
Mike, Rob and Luke will be joined next week by a special member of the #The Division community – so please stay tuned.

#42: PTS 2.0 Ends as Last Stand Awaits Feb 10, 2017

This week the lads present a laid-back, shorter 30 minute episode that takes a look at the few key changes that are coming to the PTS build before it is shut down during “Massive’s office hours on Friday 10th February 2017” – as confirmed by Hamish during this weeks State of the Game broadcast. Keith (from RedStorm) joined for a sizeable chunk of the broadcast to discuss behind the scenes tweeks that 1.6/Last Stand will be receiving before release. However, all talk post-broadcast was that Keith had officially given Yannick cause for concern this week as he made his move on Hamish, making #Kamish potentially THE power couple of 2017.
Mike, Rob and Luke also give a run down of the games they have been playing recently as they look to reduce their The Division play-time while awaiting the release of update 1.6/Last Stand. There’s also some inter-clan PvP chatter from their Agents of the Technodrome clan and brief nod towards the future/Year 2.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Is it Wild Enough? Feb 07, 2017

SITREP Radio bring you a special episode dedicated to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands . The boys were lucky enough to be granted access to the closed beta that was available over the weekend ahead of the games general release on March 7th, 2017. There’s talk of the storyline, missions, tactics, weapons, vehicles and the undoubted open world beauty of the game. The lads also dive into the mechanics and physics of various aspects of the gameplay as well as discussing what they would like to see from the game moving forward.
So, kick back and listen to Mike, Rob and Luke give their honest opinions of what the Wildlands has to offer, and whether they will be picking it up day one or leaving it by the wayside. #TeamSITREP will be back on Friday with their regular dose of all things The Division

#41: Getting Things Right vs Community (Feat TheGamingScotsman) Feb 03, 2017

With the arrival of PTS3 this week Mike, Rob, and Luke discuss the latest wave of changes that are being implemented to the test build. They also enlist the help of TheGamingScotsman who picks up the mantel as this weeks “SITREP Radio PC PTS Correspondent”, and sits down with #TeamSITREP for a chat. There was quite a comprehensive list of changes and tweaks released during this weeks State of the Game broadcast so once again the boys try to condense this down a fair bit for anyone who wasn’t able to watch the SOTG.
Spoiler Alert – next week the boys will be taking a break from their usual scheduled programming and delivering a special episode dedicated to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands, as #TeamSITREP were lucky enough to be granted beta access keys, and will also be checking out Rainbow 6 Siege as its free over the coming weekend.

#40: PTS 2 Begins (featuring rxlyaT) Jan 27, 2017

With the 1.6 PTS process well under-way, #TeamSITREP bring you the latest news from the world of The Division with the help of @rxlyaT (Taylor) -- who is officially the first “SITREP Radio PC PTS Correspondent”. There is much to discuss, especially as some of the intended changes for 1.6 have not exactly gone to plan during PTS week 1 (but hey, that’s exactly what a PTS is for). The lads try to keep things as brief as possible because it is still very early days for the 1.6 build.
Hamish and Yannick (AKA Yamish) were joined by Fredrik Thylander for this weeks State of the Game, which discussed what was coming with the incoming PTS-Build (PTS Week 2). Mike, Rob, and Luke breakdown the latest influx of information this broadcast delivered and share what they think are the most important aspects.

Update 1.6 Details Drop Jan 22, 2017

SITREP Radio bring you a bonus episode this week so that the team can keep you up to date with all the latest news about update 1.6 that has come out either from Massive or from ETF2 members over the course of the last couple of days. There’s still no news regarding when the next PTS will begin, but Massive dropped a very comprehensive statement out to the world on Friday that covered much more than most people were expecting.
Topics discussed during Episode 39.5 include DarkZone 7, 8 and 9’s new Landmarks, DarkZone Contamination Events, Exotic Weapons, Exotic Gear, a brand new Gear Set, PvP balancing, a Re-Working of Stats (such as Armour and Skill Power etc) a new “Legendary” difficulty for a choice selection of story missions and something that a large portion of the community find controversial = MicroTransactions.
Mike, Rob and Luke will be back on Friday with their usual weekly round-up.

#39: Massive's Last Stand Jan 20, 2017

This week, players of The Division were treated to a sneak-peek trailer of the Last Stand DLC on Wednesday. It’s fair to say the hype got cranked up to eleven. Following hot on the heels of that was the first State of the Game broadcast of 2017, where Hamish was joined via Skype by Terry and Keith from RedStorm to discuss some of what can be expected from Last Stand, and the free update 1.6. Mike, Rob, and Luke sit down to digest and discuss the vast amount of news that has been released to the community over the course of the last 24 hours.
It’s fair to say that the hype in #TeamSITREP was at the highest level it’s ever been. The lads also give their opinions on what might come with further information that is in-bound over the coming days and weeks as today's news is not the all that's coming in The Last Stand DLC.

#38: State of the Dark Zone with Deep Fried Dave Jan 12, 2017

ETF-Bravo is well underway, and the boys are hopeful that RedStorm and their very special guests will bring about a wave of exciting DarkZone and PvP changes for update 1.6 (and Last Stand?) that will make this great game even better. With that in mind Mike, Rob and Luke welcomed a very special guest to this weeks episode; none other than DeepFriedDave -- one of the original members of ETF-Alpha and a content creator himself (Rogue Agent Radio and Collecting What Remains podcasts).
#TeamSITREP were delighted that DeepFriedDave agreed to join their team for an in-depth discussion. The DarkZone, PvP, RedStorm Studios, Division-lore, the recent data-mined information, continued discussions with Massive since ETF-Alpha left Sweden, and the possibility of Year 2 content are all discussed, and more.

#37: Speculation Beyond The Gates Jan 06, 2017

This week Mike, Rob, and Luke bring you news of what they’ve been up to in the world of The Division over the holiday period. There’s a quick round up of what they’ve been up to during the previous week, news of Survival successes (and fails including some runs at the aways challenging Incursion: Clear Sky), and a discussion about the latest videos SkillUp has released regarding the Dark Zone. The lads also discuss, sometimes quite passionately, the datamined information that has been released to the community via the medium of Reddit. They agreed before recording that they would all try their hardest not to get too hyped up over these details, but it’s an obvious fail.

#36: Remember When... Dec 30, 2016

We’re smack bang in the middle of the Holiday Break this week, so there has been no maintenance or SotG from Massive. But the SITREP Radio crew would not let you go into 2017 without one last episode for the year. Episode 36 is a relaxed, alcohol-fueled look back at the evolution of the game from way back when the BETA was available, to present day version 1.5 with 2 DLCs out. Mike, Rob, and Luke give their personal highs and lows from their vast amounts of experiences in The Division, along with plenty of reminiscing of days long past in Division history.
Lastly, the SITREP Radio team would like to wish their listeners a very Happy New Year and we look forward to bringing you more content in 2017.

#35: PS4 Players Can Now Survive! Dec 23, 2016

“Survival”, paid-DLC number 2, dropped for PlayStation 4 players on Tuesday, 20th December. Mike, Rob, and Luke discuss their experiences thus far, 48 hours in. There are good and bad stories both from PvE and PvP instances, tips and “things to avoid” from their runs - but the over-riding emotion is FUN.
As ever, the lads also discuss the latest State of the Game during which Hamish and Yannick announced that ETF 2.0 members had been chosen and the lucky few had been informed. It was also announced that they are heading off for their Christmas Holiday break and as such there won’t be another SotG until Mid-January 2017. Lastly, the SITREP Radio team would like to thank their listeners for 35 weeks of support and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
Make sure to check out the lads over the holidays on twitch.tv/sitrepradio.

#34: Update 1.6 - More than a just a PvP pass? Dec 16, 2016

It’s a laid back episode this week as the team share their latest experiences from a week of hitting the Dark Zone hard while the countdown to “Survival” enters single figures (just 5 days at the time of recording) #HYPED. In addition, the lads present their usual round-up from the latest State of the Game broadcast. Hamish was joined by two special guests this week, and it made for a VERY interesting watch as some initial news of PvP-based update 1.6 was announced.
The team would also like to aid in the advertising of the Free-to-Play “weekend” for The Division that Ubisoft announced exclusively for PC gamers. This began today (15th December 2016) and runs until 18th December 2016. Come and give it a try, you never know you might just get yourself a new favorite game in time for Christmas.

#33: Survival's A Bitch, Right? Dec 08, 2016

This week the lads are joined by “@EidolonFox” from the twitter verse for a special episode discussing, in detail, the newest DLC “Survival”. This latest offering to The Division community is inbound for PS4 players on 20th of December 2016, with XBox One and PC players having had access to this expansion since 22nd of November 2016.
Mike, Rob, and Luke tap into Fox‘s relative wealth of knowledge and experience to share facts and tips for their fellow PS4 users, as well as those community members out there who haven’t purchased the Season Pass and are thinking of buying “Survival” as a standalone piece of DLC content. The team also provide their usual round up of the weekly State of the Game and latest news from various community resources. Following on from last weeks “honorable mentions”, there are nods in the direction of more useful tools and/or resources that the lads utilize.

#32: Maintenance & A Shed Load of Farming! Dec 02, 2016

The free 1.5 update/patch was delivered to PlayStation4 users during the morning maintenance on Tuesday, meaning Mike, Rob, and Luke have had their filthy paws on it for over 48 hours now. Now that they’ve got first-hand experience of the new patch, the lads discuss what they’ve been enjoying and what they’re aiming to run with their builds if RNGesus is kind enough to bestow unto them what they pray for (If not, maybe Santa will deliver what they’re missing when he arrives in a few weeks?).
We also point you in the direction of some helpful tools/information, via Reddit, regarding Gear Set bonuses, max stat rolls for gear, where to find the new 1.5 Named Gear items and Spydr101’s excellent Gear Attribute [spread]sheet. The lads also quickly round up the news from this week’s State of the Game broadcast which highlighted more bugs across the varying platforms, as well as some stats from PC and XBoxOne user’s Survival runs.

#31: PS4 Delays and Thoughts to the Future Nov 25, 2016

Mike, Rob and Luke sit down for their weekly review of this week’s happenings in the world of The Division. PlayStation 4 users were no doubt glued to this week’s State of the Game, but for anyone who didn’t/couldn’t watch it the news was not good. Update 1.5 has been delayed until next week, at the earliest! The news did not go down well with the community, after initially being told the update would only be “a couple of days late”. The lads also review what they know regarding Survival and update 1.5 as PC and Xbox One have had access to these for a week now, and the feedback has been plentiful. There is also a brief discussion about what they would all like to see from The Division moving forward in terms of Year 2 content and support in the future – Oh, and can everyone say “Sequel”?

#30: SURVIVAL/Update 1.5 Release Date Confirmed Nov 19, 2016

Huge news this week as we finally have a release date for Update 1.5 [SURVIVAL] on PC and Consoles. Listen to the madcap ramblings of Mike and Rob as they mourn the absence of their co-host Luke and discuss what they have been up to in the Dark Zone this week under the guidance of Master Luke. They discuss thoughts on news of EAD being removed from PVP as it gets debunked, and Spray & Pray hip fire not being a viable option any more due to the increase in recoil, sealed caches being pointless to horde for update 1.5 and much more.

#29: SURVIVAL - Get Warm or Die Trying Nov 11, 2016

There was a “Massive” surprise this week as the guys over in Sweden dropped a Special Report broadcast into the laps of the community. DLC Expansion number 2, “Survival”, was the reason with another PC-only PTS going live later that same day for Season Pass holders. It’s fair to say that the hype was off the chart. Join (a very tired) Mike, Rob and Luke as they battle rogue-induced-fatigue to chew the fat regarding what they know about “Survival”. There is also news regarding the free 1.5 update that will be dropping, including details of new Named Weapons, brand new Named High End Gear Pieces, a new Gear Set, a new Gear Score, a much requested Stash Size Increase and a brief round-up of the key details from today's State of the Game broadcast.

The hype and feel-good-factor are both still present this week as Mike, Rob, and Luke discuss how Update 1.4 feels now that the all of the community has been able to enjoy what is essentially a brand new game for over a week. There’s plenty of chat about gear, weapons, character builds in general and diversity, as well as how 1.4 has changed the meta with all the re-balancing work that Massive has introduced. There’s also news from the latest State of the Game broadcast where topics such as console performance issues, in-game cheat management, other minor in-game bugs and a tease towards update 1.5 (which will include another Public Test Server period) were discussed by The Division Community Managers.
(P.S. There are some old-school Savage Garden reference in this episode – SORRY!!)

#6: Division Delays, Fixes, and a Movie? Jun 05, 2016

This week Mike & Rob join forces to discuss this weeks 'State Of The Game', maintenance and fixes, no challenge mode for Clear Sky yet, the impact of the 1.2 so far, and a Division Movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal. We also briefly come up with what our film would be? We end the show with a couple of discussions from you guys.

Questions:

1. from Andy Marshall:

Ive was playing with bryan SPark and a couple others agents last night and was thinking Destiny needs a special vendor like Xur in Destiny. I'd imagine (s)he would be a first wave agent who became a scavenger / smuggler / arms dealer and still lives in the dark zone - they pop up for a couple days a week somewhere in the dz and sells one off / good roll items and maybe some special dz themed clothes. No dz rank required and accepts pCredits - this would mean people who aren't massive dz players have another reason to go in there but have to fight / sneak there way to where they're selling stuff...
Anyway, thought it was a cool idea - something to talk about on the next podcast?

2. Jody brown ask us:

Can you discuss how to maximize armor?
