The Division 2 / Raid (TU3)
Division 2 Dark Hours Guide
Operation Dark Hours launched on May 16, 2019 as part of Title Update 3, delayed three weeks past April so balance patches could land first. Eight agents, one hijacked airport, zero matchmaking: the raid era began here. Our plain-language summary below: full texts live on Ubisoft's news hub.
Airport Assault
The Black Tusk turned Washington National Airport into their supply pipeline, and only coordinated teams at World Tier 5 with high gear scores need apply. Bosses backed by the faction's best tech gate every hangar. Tactics live on our Incursions & Raids hub.
Race to World First
Launch morning opened with a broadcast race: the first clear team earned their photo and names on the White House wall, every finisher took a clan banner and trophy, and week-one clears added a commemorative patch.
Raid Loot
