Along with theupdate 1.16 on February 12th,The Division 2added some in-game bonuses for everyone who preordered the DLC. The bonuses are included only if players preorder before April 3, and it includes a level 40 shotgun, an NYC police uniform outfit, and a level 30 boost. But when access to the preorder bonuses went live on the 12th, some players had a hard time figuring out how to get the level 30 boost to work.
The Level 30 Boost
In the upcomingexpansion DLCWarlords of New York, the level cap will rise to level 40. The boost will bring new or old characters up to the current level cap to help them catch up. This level boost will help players who are moving consoles, getting the game for the first time, or just want to start over without having to grind levels before the DLC drops.

With the game nearly free right now,theDivision 2is only about $3 on all consoles and PC, there will be a ton of new players who will find this boost helpful.
How to Get the Boost
Getting the boost on a character is not exactly intuitive. The instructions are a little ambiguous, but there are two ways to boost a character to 30. If a character already exists in the game, players will need to boost their character from the store. First, openThe Division 2on whatever system that the DLC has been purchased for. Next, go to the in-game store, and look at the content purchased for the game– it will look slightly different depending on what system players are using. If players have preordered the DLC, there should be a boost button for existing characters there.
If players want to start a new character to get ready for all thechanges coming toThe Division 2’s New York, they can do that as well, but they’ll have to put in a little more legwork. First, create a new character. Second, players will have to complete the prologue, unlock the base of operations, unlock their first skill, and only then can the character can be boosted. New characters will not have access to the boost until those steps are done.
Remember, if theupcomingWarlords of New YorkDLChas not been purchased yet, players will not have access to the boost.
The Division 2is available forPC, PS4, and Xbox One. A Stadia release is scheduled for 2020.
