Patches and Updates/Patch 1.6.1

Update 1.6.1 was deployed for Tom Clancy's The Division. It was released on May 23, 2017.
== Update 1.6.1 Patch Notes ==
New Feature: Loadouts
* Loadouts offer players the chance to save their equipped Weapons, Gear, Skills and Talents to Loadout slots, allowing for quick swapping of builds to be used for different activities.
* Players will be able to create and save up to 6 Loadouts per character.
* Each Loadout can be directly equipped when out of combat.
==== Gameplay ====
* Aim assist will no longer be activated when players hip-fire with a controller.
* Fixed several bugs that could prevent players from being revived by skills or player interaction if they were previously being revived by a support station and this revive was canceled for various reasons.
* Fixed instances of HVT bosses remaining stuck in their spawn room preventing completion of the contract.
* Fixed instances where players would be stuck “in combat” with NPCs outside of the mission area after completing a mission.
* Fixed a bug where Resistance to Status Effects would still be counted as a chance to resist the effect altogether, on top of reducing its duration. The resistance value will now correctly only reduce the duration of a Status Effect.
* Fixed a bug where a few fire extinguishers would deal high amount of damage to NPCs in some missions. For consistency, fire extinguishers in the entire game will no longer deal any damage and only apply the disorient effect to NPCs.
* Fixed a bug where grenades thrown by LMB grenadiers would sometimes apply stagger and damage before they actually detonated.

* Backpack capacity will no longer be randomly generated for all High-End, Exotic and Gear Sets backpacks. Instead, they will all have a capacity of 110 (120 with all Base of Operations perks unlocked). This change is retroactive.
* Level 34 extended magazines will now roll between 109% and 121% extra magazine size (instead of 109 to 111%). This change is not retroactive.

* Fixed a bug with Wildfire where the burn effect would not correctly apply to nearby enemies.
* Fixed a bug where the Pakhan talent would only work on NPCs and not on players.
== Weapons ==
* Burst fire weapons will now have a maximum RPM, making it impossible to reach non-burst rate of fire with specific control modifications. This includes Burst Fire MP5, FAL and 93R.
