Division 2 Reign of Fire Update Guide
Year 4 Season 3 launched on February 27, 2023 to close out Year 4, with Sokolova stepping out of the shadows, Hunters stirring in the capital, and a bomb-maker to catch. Our plain-language summary below: full texts live on Ubisoft's news hub.
Stovepipe Manhunt
Prime target Zachary "Stovepipe" Beattie is a disposal specialist who started hoarding unstable device schematics until the Black Tusk recruited him. Four lieutenants. Chunks, Bantam, Cursed and Auntie, stand between you and his location. Meanwhile Captain Lewis's defectors join your side and a new recruit starts cracking Hunter drone files. Target order on our manhunts hub.
New Loot
| Sacrum Imperium (Exotic MMR) | The Trap: scope-tag up to ten targets, then a headshot kill on a marked one ignites it and slows everything nearby. Follow-up headshots recharge it faster. |
|---|---|
| NinjaBike (Exotic Backpack) | Resourceful: the Division 1 favorite returns, counting toward any equipped set or brand bonus so you can break the usual set math. |
| Hotshot (Set) | Marksman set stacking rifle damage, stability and headshot power, with a backpack that spreads your status effects to nearby enemies. |
| Doctor Home (Rework) | Armor kits from marked kills now fly straight to you instead of dropping at the target. |
PvP Notes
Lower-tier agents get fairer Jammer play against high skill tiers, and source-locked exotics can now surface as contaminated DZ drops.
