The Division 2 new season titled Puppeteers is here, bringing plenty of new content for us to explore and enjoy. New Manhunt missions, the returning activity, new weapons, and gear are waiting for you, so let’s walk you through everything you need to know about the latest season.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
New Manhunt Missions
The Division 2 new update release date was October 3, and, as was promised by the devs, the new season is going to last for about four months, giving us enough time to enjoy everything they’ve prepared for us. For instance, in Puppeteers, we’ll continue our Manhunt Missions.
During the last season, we rescued five hostages from the Black Tusk and also met the Recruiter. Now, in the new Division 2 update, we need to save four more civilians – Cindy, Mel, Jack, and Vikram – and face the Recruiter as the Prime Target to uncover the secrets about who and why he’s recruiting. Moreover, rescuing hostages will unlock the upgrades for the Castle Settlement.
You can check the schedule for missions and other events in the game on the roadmap below.
Incursion is Back
The community-favorite endgame activity is returning in The Division 2 new season, introducing tough bosses and unique mechanics. The first mission is called “Paradise Lost,” where your main objective is to liberate the burning Meret Estate Settlement, which is now under the control of the Cleaners. You’ll also need to rescue survivors and their leader, Mackenzie Meret, by fighting bosses and other enemies.
The Incursion missions require four players for completion and rotate weekly. Each week, the players can get an exotic item as a reward for clearing the activity. Among these rewards is the brand-new Exotic SMG Ouroboros (only available in Incursion), which has a 10% chance drop. In addition, this weapon, about which we’ll talk later, can also drop from bosses with a 1% drop chance.
Apparel Event
As part of new Division 2 content, there’ll be an apparel event called “NEXUS” that goes live in October. This event, as described by the devs, “will include items that will add a never-before-seen aesthetic to The Division 2”.
Apparel Event Keys for Apparel Caches can be earned in various ways: one free key is given to all players, SHD Levelling – one key every four SHD levels, direct purchase with Premium Credits, and, if you own Premium Pass, you’ll be granted three extra keys.
New Weapons
Besides the content mentioned above, the new season Division 2 introduced a set of new weapons, among which are Exotics. So, let’s see what we’ve got:
Ouroboros
- Type: Exotic SMG (only obtainable via Incursion)
