It may have taken a week longer than initially expected, but PS4 players can now also try out all the new additions being added to "Tom Clancy's The Division" via Update 1.3.

Among the many notable additions included in Update 1.3 are new weapons for the Agents.

As detailed in an earlier post over on the game's official website, players now have access to nine new weapon types. While in the game, players can now find X-45 and First Wave X-45 pistols, PP-19 and Enhanced PP-19 submachine guns, Paratrooper and Surplus SVD marksman rifles as well as G36, G36C and Military G36 assault rifles.

Beyond the nine new weapon types, Agents will also be able to find The Showstopper, a new full-auto shotgun now featured in "Tom Clancy's The Division" courtesy of the recently rolled out Update 1.3.

Players will also be able to optimize their weapon talents even further after they find and complete the pieces of the new AlphaBridge gear set.

Weapon recalibration and new Challenge Mode missions have also been added to "The Division."

More gameplay changes have also been implemented, including one that will disconnect players who have remained inactive for longer than 15 minutes from the game server. Stash size has also been upped to 70 slots, giving players more storage space to utilize as they continue to make progress and find new items in the game.

For Xbox One and PC players, Update 1.3 was released along with the "Underground" DLC pack, but PS4 players will have to wait a bit longer for this expansion.

In a recent post on the game's official forums, community manager "Natchai_Ubisoft" confirmed that the "Underground" expansion will be released for the PS4 on Aug.2.

Following the release of "Underground," "Tom Clancy's The Division" players can look forward to two more expansion packs being released later this year in the form of "Survival" and "Last Stand."
