Division 2 players who take advantage of a Descent mode exploit will get a two-week timeout, and have all their ill-gained progress rolled back.

to gain"unfair amounts of XP" will be hit with two-week bans for their efforts, and could end up permanently banned if they persist in taking advantage of it.

The roguelike Descent mode went live in The Division 2 earlier this year, enabling 1-4 players to square off against multiple waves of enemies in a guns-blazing quest for skills, talents, and weapons. In the context of The Division's story, it's a training simulation for agents; in more practical gameplay terms, it serves as kind of a test bed for character builds because you begin the mode with no gear, perks, or specializations, and build out as you go.

But some players have been taking advantage of a glitch that lets them join others already in Descent mode in order to gain experience and SHD levels they're not properly entitled to. Ubisoft said today that it is aware of the problem, and more importantly, has identified and will punish players who have"systematically" taken advantage of the exploit.

"First-time offenders who have exploited this feature will receive a two-week suspension starting immediately and will be unable to play Tom Clancy's The Division 2 during this time," Ubisoft said."Furthermore, sanctioned players' accounts will be flagged, and any further offense will result in an increased suspension duration. Multiple offenses will result in a permanent suspension.

Any ill-gotten gains will also be lost:"Sanctioned players' accounts will be rolled back, causing all account progress through the exploit to be reset."
