The Division 2: The Pact Launches Today
The Division 2 has long pit players against a diverse array of deadly factions, but starting today with the launch of a new season called The Pact, those enemies are on the verge of uniting. Recent intel suggests the leadership of the True Sons, Outcasts, and Hyenas are planning to forge a pact --- one powerful enough to shift the balance of power in D.C. and create the most dangerous threat The Division has faced yet. As players work to undermine this plot, a new open-world activity called Retaliation presents a new suite of challenges, as well as new avenues for crafting exotic weapons and gear. New seasonal modifiers add faction-themed abilities, and there is plenty of new gear and weapons to loot in-game as well as through the Season Pass.
What is Retaliation in The Division 2?
A new, permanent addition to the open-world activity slate, Retaliation kicks in when a player has sufficiently disrupted an enemy faction. That faction will mark a named zone for Retaliation and subsequently take over every control point in the area. Players must retake all the Control Points within the time limit, and in addition to the usual variety of loot, re-captured control points will reward faction-specific materials that can be used to craft exotic gear.
How Do Kill Squads Work?
While players are moving between Control Points during a Retaliation activity, Kill Squads made up of elite and named enemies will ambush them. Defeating a Kill Squad can yield exotic blueprints to help players craft exotic weapons or gear. In addition to these deadly new cadres, players can take on extra challenges called Maneuvers that will award them with extra time to capture Control Points, should they succeed.
