#128: TD2 WEAPONS & TALENTS Oct 12, 2018

Show notes

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.
As is now tradition, the show is closed out with questions from community/discord members.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
Once again the show is closed out with questions from community/discord members.

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

Show notes

In Episode 125 of SITREP Radio, Mike, Rob and Luke talk about what they would like to see from the proposed Clan System in Tom Clancy's #TheDivision2. 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.
With no State of the Game to talk about this week, the show is closed out with questions from community/discord members.

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

Show notes

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.

#122: UPDATE 1.8.3 & PRE-ORDERS Aug 31, 2018

Show notes

Fresh* from GamesCom, Mike, Rob and Luke are back to regular scheduled programming and present episode #122 of SITREPRadio. This week the lads dive into the whole Pre-Order debate. 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.
As is now a weekly feature, the lads wrap up the show with a couple of questions from their listeners and discord community.

*They're not fresh. They're knackered still.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
As is now a weekly feature, the lads wrap up the show with a couple of questions from their listeners and discord community.
