The Division 2: Battle for Brooklyn

Battle for Brooklyn will bring players back to New York City in autumn, a new time of year not yet featured in the franchise. Residents have been living relatively peaceful lives in the post-pandemic neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo. While some of these areas may look familiar to veteran Division players, others are entirely new and hold a fresh crop of secrets and challenges, and the narrative will be approachable for new players as well as seasoned Agents.

The main threat comes from the Cleaners and Rikers, who have crossed the river from Manhattan armed with the deadly Purple Flame: a corrosive new twist on their arsenal that will force players to rethink their tactics. As they progress through the linear campaign, either solo or in co-op, players will uncover how the Cleaners are producing the Purple Flame and fight to thwart the planned attack on civilians. In Battle for Brooklyn, players can unlock a reimagined take on Smart Cover, a skill first introduced in The Division that allows players to reinforce cover points. Offensive and defensive variants, as well as applications for PVE and PVP, will make Smart Cover an impactful addition. The Catalyst Exotic Mask is exclusive to the DLC, and will grant bonuses for dealing and receiving status effect damage.
