Overhauling The Summit.
The Division 2 launched about a year and a half ago and struggled to match the major success of the first game at launch. Ubisoft has been working hard to keep the game going in the time since with new content, including the recently added The Summit that came last month. This new endgame for The Division 2 tasked players with scaling a 100 floor building full of enemies that added a lot of replayability to the game. Now not even a month later, Ubisoft has made some big changes to The Summit to make it better for players, along with some other changes across the entire game in the 11.1 update for The Division 2.

Players can now ascend their customized Summit at their own pace.
With TU11.1, all players will initially start at floor 1 of The Summit
Progress is now saved more frequently at each elevator players encounter
Instead of the old Rally Points, now Players will resume where they left on subsequent playthroughs.
This means that you can stop at floor 38. Then the next day continue from the elevator at floor 37.
After players finish floor 100, on their next Summit attempt they will restart at floor 1
NOTE: for coop we save the maximum of your previous checkpoint and your current session
Example: player previously had a save at floor 60, they matchmake and finish floor 95 with a group, on their next playthrough the player would continue at the elevator on floor 93.
Example: player previously had a save at floor 81, they matchmake and finish floor 34 with a group, on their next playthrough the player would continue at the elevator on floor 81.
