After The Division 1.7 Update, there had to be some finesses additionally done. That’s why Massive has decided to release a new 1.7.1 patch, which should improve both the Leaderboards and Gameplay. After the 1.7 update and the promises that there will no longer be any RPM hacks or exploits, players have successfully found another out of fun. Well, we hope that the RPM exploit is now completely fixed and there will be no further ado in 1.7.1.
The Division had many ups and downs throughout its past and somehow is still struggling to find the right velocity and deny players of discovering any further issues. That’s why the 1.7.1 update has come to live a couple of weeks after the announcement of patch 1.8, Resistance update. The good part over here is that Massive has chosen the right order by first getting rid of any known current issues and then release a brand new content.
Patch 1.7.1. Changelog
Enough said, below you can find the changelog of update 1.7.1:
Leaderboards
- The Face Masks vanity rewards are now tied to Global Event Commendations instead of the Leaderboards. Global Event Leaderboards now reward a number of Classified Caches, the amount depending on an agent’s placement on the Global Event Leaderboards once the event ends.

- The first column in both Dark Zone Leaderboards and Global Event Leaderboards will now display Rank even though the text says Position.
Gameplay

- Fixed a desynchronization issue which could occur after an agent jumped off a high structure.
- Fixed a desynchronization issue which could occur during corner swaps.
