Apparently something went wrong during today’s server maintenance. While the latest patch should only prevent players from using the ladder glitch in the Falcon Lost Incursion, they are now actually being randomly killed by using the ladder – or ladders – that are placed in the game’s open world.
Update April 29th:
The server downtime this day is fixing this bug. Estimated downtime is 30 minutes. Official changelog post.
- Fixed the Ladder of Death: characters will no longer die by standing next to a ladder
The developers have already identified the source of the problem and are working on a fix for it, according to Community Manager Natchai’s post in the official forums, so keep in mind that ladders could be your worst enemy until then.
So they found the issue and are looking to implement a fix for it soon.Natchai, The Division Community Manager
