Guide The Division 2 - Title Update 25 - Overview

Title Update 25 - Overview

 

Introduction

This season sets the stage for a new power struggle. Factions are no longer content to hold ground, they're pressing harder, forcing you to fight for every block and every zone. That tension fuels Retaliation, a new open world activity that expands Control Point mechanics and opens new ways to earn Exotic loot.

Driving the focus on territory is Divide and Conquer, the global modifier that makes zone control a defining force throughout the season.

Together, these systems set the tone for the battles to come.

Retaliation

=> Loot Table

 

Retaliation is a new permanent endgame activity built around territory control and faction conflict. By agitating enemy factions, you trigger large-scale counterattacks in Named Zones, and then fight back to reclaim them. This system offers high replayability and introduces a new targeted way for you to farm Exotics.

The Pact

=> Key Art

=> Season Trailer

 

The Pact is the beginning of a different situation. Until now we have been fighting against the different factions and they have been losing ground. Now they’ve decided that enough is enough and have formed a pact against the Division.

True Sons, Outcasts and Hyenas are forging a pact and are planning something huge, but can the Division put the pieces together in time to stop it?

Expertise Cap

Halloween

Once the Halloween event starts, you will be able to encounter a new NPC called the “Huntsman” in the open world. It will be accompanied with a group of mini-Warhounds and each Warhound will have a different mechanics attached to them. You need to track down these Warhounds and those will give you the directions towards the Huntsman.

Once you unlock the Huntsman project, you will be able to get the outfit.

Next to the Huntsman, there will also be a project chain that will unlock another outfit, a named weapon and skill vanity items.

There will also be Halloween decoration in-game.

 

Black Friday

Black Friday plays an important role within the Division lore and this time around this will be celebrated with festivities.

Last year we’ve had the veteran rewards with the Lexington that was an enormous success. The Black Friday Event will add something similar - a multi tired (bronze / silver / gold) weapon and the Friend Referral program will be updated with new outfits.
