Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has now launched into its third season of year six, aptly named "Burden of Truth." This season invites players to immerse themselves further into the narrative, embarking on a quest to find Kelso across Washington, D.C., guided by her enigmatic clues. Along this journey, agents will uncover more about Lau's recruitment and delve into the mysterious "Cassandra" mission.
A key highlight of this season is the introduction of the Rogue Momentum system, which revolutionizes combat by incentivizing aggressive playstyles. Players gain momentum by taking down enemies and completing combat challenges. While standard kills offer a slight increase, the system rewards critical hits, skill combinations, multi-kills, and the defeat of elite foes with significant boosts. As players accumulate momentum, they unlock enhanced abilities, including faster movement, quicker reloads, increased damage output, and higher firing rates. At the highest momentum levels, the Overcharge feature activates, dramatically reducing ability cooldowns and intensifying the gameplay experience.
Alongside these revamped combat dynamics, "Burden of Truth" introduces new weapons and gear. Players who own the Warlords of New York DLC and the Year 1 Pass will benefit from an expanded inventory, gaining 50 additional slots. New additions to the arsenal include the exotic SMG Oxpecker and the tactical Exodus gloves. Furthermore, two new brands, Refactor and Shiny Monkey, offer innovative gear options. Named weapons such as the Rusty Classic RPK-74 and Goalie FAL bring unique talents, allowing players to customize and optimize their builds. Available across all platforms, Ubisoft is keen to gather player feedback to enhance future updates.
