West Side Pier is a new area that is made up of two new zones. Here, Division agents must investigate whether enemy factions have begun forging alliances and working together, and why they are suddenly interested in the region. The area includes the usual open world activities found across the regular game map, plus two new game modes: Resistance and Skirmish.

Resistance is a PvE mode that sees up to four players try to survive for as long as they can against waves of various enemy factions, while Skirmish features PvP action with two teams of four pit against each other in a timed deathmatch.
 
A new social hub area, Camp Clinton, also arrives in the update, and will allow players to find other agents to team up with and tweak their gear before heading into West Side Pier.
 
The update will also introduce some improvements to the Underground DLC, including “a revamp of the rogue mechanics” and an optimised gear system that allows players to improve the stats of their favourite equipment. You can learn more by tuning in to the State of the Game livestream, which takes place tomorrow on Twitch at 4pm UK time.
