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

Show notes

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".
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.

#177: KENLYCOLLEGE RETURNS Oct 02, 2019

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
As is now tradition the lads end the show with questions from their Discord server and the Twitterverse.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
As is now tradition the lads end the show with questions from their Discord server and the Twitterverse.
