The division update 1.7. New Game Element: Encrypted Containers
Previously announced under the tentative title Seasons, the Global Events are designed to breathe new life into The Division's open world and give players a good reason to return to the infested New York. These events will take place in PvE zones after the completion of all story missions.
Important note:
Everything you see and read here is under development and highly dependent on the success of PTS testing. Please keep this in mind and don't forget to share your experience on the PlayGround forum.
MODIFIERS AND MORE
These global modifiers will also be related to events taking place in New York. They will allow players to get to know the game world better.
In addition to the global modifier, several separate custom modifiers are planned, with which you can customize global events to your liking. Custom modifiers are available only in a special list of global events, which includes not only basic operations, but also invasions!
Event modifiers will give you the opportunity to add your own flavor to global events, and group modifiers will test how well your team works. Three main types of global event modifiers are planned. 
TOKENS, CONTAINERS, WARDROBE ITEMS AND MUCH MORE!
You will earn tokens by participating in all global event activities, whether modified by players or not. These tokens can be spent at the new Global Event Vendor, which sells sealed containers of new items in The Division. As a reward for participating in global events, players will receive unique wardrobe items. In the near future, k will talk about all these new awards in more detail. 
GLOBAL MODIFIERS
Global modifiers, as well as the events themselves, are designed to always bring something good to the player. But they not only help the player to complete some task, but also provide fresh impressions - for example, the player will be able to complete the task in some new, interesting way.
GROUP MODIFIERS
And finally, group modifiers. These modifiers are the next logical step in the development of the event modifier. They retain the positive qualities of the global modifier, increase the difficulty similar to event modifiers, and encourage a group of players to act tactically. They require clear coordination and teamwork, but the reward will be truly generous.
EVENT MODIFIERS
Event modifiers, on the other hand, not only help the agent, but also slightly increase the difficulty level. They pair well with the global modifier and give you the same benefit, but at a slightly higher cost. 
Similar to Underground Directives, these modifiers plus the global stage you are playing in affect the amount of tokens you earn.
So far to The Division development team plans to hold global events once a month for one full week. On the weekends between Global Events, they'll be hosting the familiar Double Reward Events to keep loyal agents of The Division always busy.
The Division is getting a major free update today. One of the biggest innovations will be the so-called "Global Events". For completing certain challenges, participants will be able to get great rewards, including classified sets of equipment and items of clothing. The first event, Epidemic, will last one week and will challenge gamers to fight infected enemies.
During the passage of global events and regular missions, users will perform "thank you" - special tasks, such as killing hundreds of opponents with a shotgun or completing missions on the legendary difficulty level. Trophies will be awarded even to those who have found all the collectibles on the map.
The Classified gear mentioned above has higher base stats than other items and features new recalibration options. And if you have a set of 5 or 6 items, you will be able to get significant additional bonuses. Also in the inventory of the gamer will appear masks issued for participation in rating battles or the performance of "thanks".
Among other innovations, there are encrypted containers with emotions, clothing items and coloring pages - you need to open them with the help of keys found in the city. Also, users will finally be able to change the appearance and get rid of the sunglasses that they chose as an accessory when creating the hero.
