Division, is one of the most popular games right now, and Ubisoft is preparing for a nice update which includes new activities, features and items that will enable you to make your Agent more powerful than ever. I have played Division, and upgrading weapons is one of the key components to get your mission complete with stars. I am sure this update will definitely help.
