Year 6 Season 2: Shades of Red is marking the start of a new seasonal journey. With Aaron Keener in custody at the White House, he aims to strike a deal with The Division. Before Agents can learn what he knows, they have to secure the other members of Keener’s team, starting with Theo Parnell.

Brew that Kerman coffee, grab a seat, and let's dive into everything Season 2 has in store.

 

• Seasons 2.0
  • Seasonal Journey
    
  • Seasonal Modifiers
    
  • Priority Objectives
    
  • Manhunt Scouts
• Gear, Weapons & Talents
  
• Rework and Updates
  
• Friend Referral
  
• Season Pass 
  
• One Time Offer

The new Seasonal Journey introduces a structured progression system with 7 sequential missions, each containing 8 objectives. It is designed to guide players through the early stages of each new season, offering a mix of challenges and goals that introduce key mechanics. Available from level 1, even new players can jump right into the current season’s content.  
 
The entire Seasonal Journey unlocks at the start of the season. As you complete each mission and objective, you’ll earn various rewards, including XP, Season Pass XP, progression-boosting items, resources, and active modifiers. Completing the entire journey will grant you a unique cosmetic item.  

The Seasonal Modifiers are central to each season's unique gameplay, spicing up the usual rules and mechanics of the game. There are four distinct types of modifiers, each playing a crucial role in shaping player experience: 

• Global Modifiers set the overall theme of the season and are active at all times while the system is enabled, affecting the core gameplay loop.  
  • This season, the theme is "range." The Global Modifier, "Point Blank," grants a bonus damage based on distance from enemies. 

• Active Modifiers function like "ultimate" abilities, giving your character a short burst of power. 
  • Players can choose from a selection of Active Modifiers, but only one can be equipped at a time. This season, they manipulate the range zones set by the Global Modifier. 

• Passive Modifiers work in conjunction with the Global Modifier, adding extra bonuses. 
  • Players can equip up to three Passive Modifiers simultaneously. In the first season, these modifiers provide additional benefits based on the range zones from the Global Modifier. 

• Hostile Modifiers: These represent how the enemies adapt to your new abilities. 
  • As players progress through the season, enemies will gradually gain new abilities linked to specific enemy types, forcing you to use the Global, Passive, and Active Modifiers strategically to counter them.

 
The modifier system can be disabled at any time and is mutually exclusive with global events, allowing players to control how they engage with the seasonal challenges. 


The Priority Objectives system offers a variety of short-term objectives, enhancing the way players can farm for items and resources in the game. The Priority Objectives system becomes available upon reaching level 30.
 
Players can choose from three objectives, selecting one based on limited information such as duration, reward category, and mission type. Once a selection is made, it is locked in, and the full details of the objective and its rewards will be revealed. 
 
If none of the objectives appeal to the player, the system allows for rerolls and has an Abandon Objective feature. Players can earn reroll points by completing Priority Objectives, with a maximum of three rerolls stored at any time. 
 
There is no limit to the number of Priority Objectives a player can complete, and rewards include XP, Season Pass XP, items, resources, and passive modifier unlocks.  

Manhunt Scouts is a new system that drives the game's narrative by requiring players to complete weekly activities that reward them with equipment, XP, materials, and, most importantly, new collectibles. 
 
Each week, players can tackle a Scout, which consists of three different activities. These activities will vary, and players must solve a small riddle to complete each one. Activities should be completed in order, and once all three are finished, players will receive the Scout Reward. 
 
Once all activities in a Scout are completed, players will receive a bigger reward, including a unique collectible. However, new Scouts cannot be accessed until the current one is completed.  
 
By the end of the season, completing all Scouts unlocks the Manhunt Climax Mission, and finishing that unlocks the Master Climax Mission, so make sure to stay on track each week.


This season introduces two new Named Weapons and several new Talents, along with a new Gear Set and Brand Set. Exotic collectors can look forward to a new Exotic Assault Rifle, an Exotic Holster, and an exclusive Exotic Chest Piece awarded for completing the Climax Mission. 





Players can obtain the Virtuoso Gear Set through seasonal caches, by progressing through the final three chapters of the Seasonal Journey, or by exploring the Open World. It can also be farmed through targeted loot for those looking to complete their set.




The Master Climax Mission introduces a brand-new difficulty level, exclusively available for Manhunt Climax Missions. This level is designed for the most hardcore players seeking an extra challenge. Expect tougher enemy scaling and the inclusion of seasonal modifiers that will push your skills to the limit.

Those who rise to the occasion will be rewarded with special bonuses, such as additional XP, high-quality loot, resources, in-game currencies, and unique vanity items. Additionally, successfully completing the Master Climax Mission grants players the Exotic Chest Piece “Provocator”, as a special reward.







For a detailed breakdown of the balancing adjustments made to Weapons, Talents, Gear Sets, Brand Sets, and Exotics, please visit our Known Issues Board.[trello.com]



In TU22, a fresh batch of Named Weapons will be added to the loot pool for missions and mission bosses. While the original loot tables remain unchanged, they now offer additional opportunities to obtain these new items.

Although these weapons have a higher drop rate, they are not guaranteed rewards and may require multiple attempts to acquire. The likelihood of these weapons dropping increases with the difficulty level of the mission.

These new loot drop chances are exclusively available for characters at level 40 or above and are limited to regular versions of missions – they do not apply to “invaded” missions.

• One Endgame
  
• Gear, Weapons & Talents
  
• Apparel Event
  
• Season Pass

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?

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.

• World Tiers have been removed from the game.
  
• World Tiers and Gear Score mentions have been removed from the game, including tutorials and various menus UI.
  
• Keener's Watch is now awarded to players at level 40, no longer requiring owning WONY to unlock it.
  
• The Targeted Loot system is now available at level 40.
  
• Raids are now accessible at level 40.
  
• Control Points Alert Levels are now available after completing the Tidal Basin mission.
  
• Seasonal features, such as Global Events, Leagues and Manhunts are now available to players at level 40.
  
• Legacy Manhunts will also be playable, but we recommend playing them in the correct order after completing WONY for maximum enjoyment.
  
• Global Difficulty is now available at level 40.
  
• Specializations are now unlocked at level 30.
  
• Gear Score has been removed from the game, and Exotic Reconfiguration no longer takes into account Gear Scores.
  
• Item Quality has been rescaled and redistributed along one uniform scale from level 1 to level 40, instead of having a reset at level 30 as it was previously.
  
• Item Power and Enemy Power have been redistributed to include the World Tier power, which have been incorporated into levels 26-30.
  
• Players can now fast travel back to DC from New York as soon as the New York Intro Mission has been completed.
  
• Crafting bench upgrades related to World Tiers have been removed. Superior and High-end bench quality upgrades have been redistributed to match the new item quality/level distribution.
  
• Added a new button in the Mods Menu "Auto Deconstruct Skill Mods" which is OFF by default
  
• Adjusted the story Invasions flow:
  
  • Gear Score Requirements have been removed from the story-related invaded Strongholds.
    
  • Completing Invaded Missions is no longer a prerequisite for the story invaded Strongholds (weekly invasions will still require invaded missions).

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.

• 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.

Get ready to gear up and arm yourself with the new weapons and gear in Year 6 Season 1! This features two new Named Weapons, a bunch of new Talents, plus a Gear Set and a Brand Set. Exotic-wise, you've got one exotic gear piece and one exotic weapon.












When the event is active, you can earn Apparel Cache keys in game by levelling up your watch and unlocking the different items through caches.


In Season 1: First Rogue, we are launching an Apparel Event called "Crossroads." This apparel event will include items that will allow players to wear the attire of their favourite characters from the Operation Crossroads[aconytebooks.com] trilogy.

Apparel Event keys for the Apparel Caches can be earned from the following sources: 1 free key granted to all players, SHD Levelling - one key every four SHD levels, direct purchase with Premium Credits, and, if you are a Year 6 Season 1 Premium Pass owner, you'll be granted 3 extra keys.


The optional Season Pass is available for 1000 Premium Credits ($9.99 or your regional equivalent) in the in-game store. For the first time ever, Year 6 Season 1: First Rogue is available to all The Division® 2 players and does not require the ownership of the Warlords of New York DLC.

In addition, players with the Season Pass can gain access to the following premium track rewards:

• 10 weapon skins
  
• 10 gear dyes
  
• 1 vanity outfit

You can also track some of the top-level investigations being conducted by the team over on our Known Issues Board[trello.com].
And last but not least, to help agents stay fresh under the scorching sun in Washington D.C., we will be hosting a special summer event this August. More information to come!

Good luck out there!
