The Division 2 / Y7 Update
Division 2 Crossroads Update Guide
Year 7 launched on May 27, 2025 with two tracks side by side: the paid Battle for Brooklyn map DLC and the free Crossroads season. Our plain-language summary below: full texts live on Ubisoft's news hub.
Brooklyn DLC (Paid)
The first new open-world zone since 2020: autumn Brooklyn with Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights districts, 4 control points, 12 activities, 10 bounties and 8 Hunter puzzles with unique masks. DLC owners also gained 50 extra stash slots. Brooklyn control points fight back harder than elsewhere, fortified defenses scale with difficulty, and clearing linked activities raises the point's level instead of lowering it.
Crossroads Season (Free)
Barton Schaefer wakes from his coma with Black Tusk secrets, driving an 11-scout manhunt that ends in a Climax Mission awarding the Tinkerer exotic mask. The Seasonal Journey was rebuilt for co-op: squadmates' progress counts, missions unlock in parallel, and rewards include caches plus the Measured Assembly set blueprints.
New Loot
| Bighorn (Exotic AR) | Big Game Hunter: scoping switches to semi-auto 450% shots, headshots stack bonus damage to 50. Legendary Strongholds and Summit only. |
|---|---|
| Nimble Holster | Cover-to-cover healing talent returns from the first game. |
| Tinkerer (Exotic Mask) | Climax Mission reward; shares weapon talents between same-class weapons. |
| Measured Assembly (Set) | Seasonal Journey blueprints; Nod to the classic Final Measure set. |
Systems & QoL
Mobile Cover returned as a skill, scavenging resources merged into one account-wide pool (old stockpiles were converted), the game joined Game Pass on launch day, and onboarding plus stash improvements targeted returning players.
What This Means for Builds
Brooklyn Hunters demand puzzle-solving plus burst damage, test mask-farm loadouts in the build planner and run current content in today's targeted loot.
