    The Division - Companion App

    Hey guys,
    Just to be sure, finally we will be able to play through the app or not ? Or in other words, it will be an app?
    Thanks !

    The app is scrapped and so far we have no indication that it will be in the final game in any shape or form.

    No, the drone companion app as seen in the early trailers will not be in the game at all.

    There has been no mention of any other companion app in development, however the community managers have been watching the Forums, and have been watching our interest in some form of "loadout manager" app or similar.

    We have removed the companion app from the game.

    “We worked really hard to integrate the companion app into the game, however over time we noticed it was simply too much of an unfair advantage,” he explains. “Almost unfailingly, whichever team made use of the drone would be the team that came out victorious. So we made the tough call to remove it in order to ensure the game experience is fair to all players.”

    I think it's a great idea to remove the drone. Well done.

    So any type of app ? At least one where you could change your loadout and this stuff, right ?

    I'm actually happy that apps was removed. It did seem like it could be pretty OP. I do hope however that they have an app just to view your character and maybe switch up loadouts and customize the clothing. It would be nice to be able to fiddle with it while away and maybe inspect my gear while I'm away. This is one thing I loved about the Destiny app it just ended up not delivering but hoping this one does

    So far, there has been no news on another App.
    However as I said previously, the developers have acknowledged our desire for a "loadout manager" type of app, so maybe we'll get something somewhere down the road.

    So because something was going to be overpowered in PvP, the app was completely removed from the game? Why not just disable drone support whenever the fireteam goes into the dark zone?
