The Division 2 Broken Rain Incursion Guide

The Broken Rain Incursion is the second Incursion in The Division 2, added with the Year 8 Season 2 Into the Dark update. It takes the fight to Steel Creek Dam and the Hydroelectric Plant in rural Pennsylvania, where the Rikers have seized the facility. This guide covers the full Day One blind clear, every boss, the mechanics that wipe unprepared teams, and the exclusive rewards.

Broken Rain Bosses and Encounters

Broken Rain is a four-player Incursion with four major encounters. Each one punishes teams that ignore mechanics more than teams that lack damage.

Lester Steel

The opening boss is a chainsaw-wielding Riker with heavy armor. Lester is mostly a DPS check, but elite snipers spawn throughout the fight and can shred an unorganized team. Assign one player to handle the sniper spawns while the rest focus the boss.

Warhound Escort

The second encounter is an escort phase: the team protects a Warhound as it moves through a long stretch of road. Keep at least one player near the Warhound at all times and clear the ambush spawns before they stack up.

Iris

The third encounter adds a multitasking mechanic. Turrets need to be disabled by shooting the weak point on the boss's back, and the team has to split attention between the mechanic and incoming pressure.

Marguerite Steel

The final boss uses armor-repair mechanics. Use thermite charges on the SHD caches during the encounter to stop her from repairing her armor, and keep a tank or healer loadout ready for the sustained fight.

Broken Rain Rewards

Broken Rain is endgame content, so the loot reflects it. The reward categories include:

  • Steel & Sons ACR — the Incursion-exclusive exotic rifle, dropping from bosses during repeat runs or the final reward chest.
  • Beats Per Minute mask — tied to a flawless (deathless) completion.
  • Golden, Silver, and Bronze Beaver arm patches — awarded based on how fast the clear is completed.
  • Backpack trophy — for the flawless end boss kill.
  • Gear dye, commendations, and collectibles — Incursion-specific extras.

Broken Rain Tips

  • Matchmaking is supported, but agree on roles before the first encounter to avoid repeated wipes.
  • Bring a build that can handle sustained pressure — this is not content for a fresh level 40 character.
  • Use the weekly reward opportunity on every eligible character to maximize Steel & Sons ACR chances.
  • Watch the full Day One clear above for the exact chapter progression, wipes, and the successful route.
