The Division 2 Review: 10 Ups & 4 Downs

2. Too. Many. Bugs.

As slickly enjoyable as The Division 2 mostly is, it does also feel a tad rough around the edges, as is pretty much de rigeur for multiplayer-focused AAA titles.

Players are likely to encounter a number of recurrent bugs throughout their play sessions, from bounties failing to spawn, collectibles not appearing and perhaps most egregiously, skills such as turrets and drones dismantling on their own out of nowhere.

The latter is especially frustrating as it can fatally impact the core experience, especially if you're playing solo.

It seems unlikely that many of these glitches will stick around for long, but it still indicates a slightly un-polished launch experience.

If you're particularly sensitive to this sort of thing, you might want to wait a few weeks until Massive has ironed out the big nagging issues.
