MANHUNT

Year 5 Season 3 ended with a shocking revelation, Rogue agent number one and sworn nemesis of The Division, Aaron Keener is alive. In her hunt for truth, Agent Kelso located him and decided to join forces with him.

The line between light and dark, agent and rogue, keeps blurring as we learned that Keener was working with Faye Lau to undermine the Black Tusk and neutralize the Hunter threat during the events of Warlords of New York.

Keener is coming to Washington, D.C. and he has sent us an invitation to parley, but first we will need to pass his twisted trials and prove our worth. An alliance with Keener and his Rogues could be the key to stopping Natalya Sokolova and the Black Tusk. But what will the cost be? 

Can Keener be trusted? Is the enemy of our enemy truly our friend?

CALENDAR

ONE ENDGAME

With Y6S1 First Rogue we are unifying the Division 2 and Warlords of New York DLC owners in One Endgame.

All owners of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 will now be able to level up their characters to level 40, without the need to own Warlords of New York. Players will be able to keep levelling their characters beyond 30 in the streets of Washington DC and reach the level 40 cap, without any additional purchase.

Upon reaching level 40, the endgame will be available to all agents. This includes all level 40 items implemented in the past years, Seasons and all their activities (Leagues, Global Events, Apparel Events, Manhunts - including the new Y6S1 First Rogue Manhunt), level 40 Game Modes (The Summit, Countdown) and the recently released Incursion, Paradise Lost.

Warlords of New York remains available as an additional purchase, offering exclusive story content, New York South Manhattan map and special gear.

  • Completing Invaded Missions is no longer a prerequisite for the story invaded Strongholds (weekly invasions will still require invaded missions).

COMMENDATIONS

With the removal of the World Tiers system, the Hardcore Gear Distinction commendation will no longer be relevant and thus will be removed from the game. Players who have already obtained the arm patch associated with this commendation will retain it, but new players will no longer be able to complete it. To compensate for the removal, we are adding five new commendations to Descent.

NEW DESCENT COMMENDATIONS:

• Descent Loop 6 Award - Reach loop 6 in Descent 3 times.
• Descent Basic Award - Beat the Nemesis in Descent without equipping any exotic talents.
• Descent 50 Award - Complete 50 loops in Descent.
• Descent High Roller - Reroll talents 15 times in Descent.
• Perfect Descent - Defeat the Nemesis with a full squad, without any of the 4 teammates going down during the run.
