The Division 2 is calling all Agents to the field for its limited-time Dust Storm event. Lower Manhattan has been transformed by a dynamic sandstorm, and now it's time to see New York as you never have before. Running today through August 11, The Dust Storm event features:

As you explore this sandstorm-ravaged New York, you can find up to 20 caches of loot in decorated areas, which you can break to get some of the gear found in Event Vendor Gear Caches. Dust Devils will repair these caches daily, so you can keep looting gear throughout the event.

Dust storms are ravaging the streets of New York, obscuring your visibility, adding an extra layer of difficulty to gameplay. There are two levels of dust storms in effect:

The Raging Dust Storm also gives you an opportunity to hide from Dust Devils, a new group of Rikers who are using the effects of the storm for their own nefarious purposes. Every six minutes, a group of 4 named enemies will spawn in a Dust Devil Kill Squad and hunt you down. They have three modifiers:

Once you take down enough Dust Devils, one of their two bosses will spawn:

When a Dust Devil boss spawns, you’ll receive an option to call for backup. The first time you defeat each boss, you’ll receive a unique mask, and they’ll drop a Storm Key every time you beat them.

A greater threat than the Dust Devils roams the streets of lower Manhattan, attacking SHD agents when the Raging Dust Storm has subsided. Not much is known about the Scoured Hunter except they carry Storm Keys and wear a distinctive mask, which players can acquire by defeating the Hunter.

When you log into The Division 2 to play the Dust Storm event, you’ll automatically be rewarded with the Parched Headgear.
