Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has kicked off its third season of year six, titled "Burden of Truth," inviting players to immerse themselves further into the narrative. Agents will embark on a quest to locate Kelso across Washington, D.C., guided by her enigmatic clues. Throughout this journey, players will uncover more details about Lau's recruitment and the mysterious "Cassandra" mission, deepening their engagement with the game's storyline.
A key highlight of this season is the innovative Rogue Momentum system, designed to enhance the combat experience by promoting aggressive play. Players can build momentum through defeating enemies and achieving combat objectives. While standard kills contribute to the meter, critical hits, skill combinations, multi-kills, and eliminating elite foes significantly boost its progress. As momentum builds, players gain access to amplified abilities including increased movement speed, faster reloads, higher damage output, and quicker firing rates. When momentum reaches its zenith, the Overcharge effect activates, dramatically reducing ability cooldowns and empowering players to dominate the battlefield.
Alongside the new combat mechanics, "Burden of Truth" introduces an array of fresh weaponry and gear. Players with the Warlords of New York DLC and Year 1 Pass benefit from an expanded inventory with an additional 50 slots. Standout items include the exotic SMG Oxpecker and the tactical Exodus gloves. New brands, Refactor and Shiny Monkey, offer unique gear options, while named weapons such as the Rusty Classic RPK-74 and Goalie FAL come with specialized talents, allowing players to tailor their loadouts to perfection. Available across all platforms, Ubisoft is keen to gather player feedback to enhance future updates.
