I stopped playing long before that, but this isn't a Div2 spoiler so let's stop talking.
It's in Coney Island not a stronghold
@marsh gulch heyyy uhh do you get to fight the hunter in the bounties again?
And can you get his mask?
@silent geyser Find out for yourself.
Ok but I don't want to. Do the whole thing to realize I don't get anything I need
oh yeah that reminds me
should I wait till I get a decent build to gank the hunters
or just get a scuffed gold build and go for it
hmmm
@silent geyser you can reset the Manhunt and do it all over again but there is no point cause the Hunters drop nothing.
Do you get to see them in the Coney Island manhunt mission?
Don't know 🤐
Ok
Lol the bardon Schaefer mission felt like another boring mission and no new mechanics
The hunter is very tanky and a named enemy variant
The hunter is very tanky and a named enemy variant
@cold bramble you get to kill a hunter?
👀
yeah apparently last mission
You get a mask?
So, are you gonna grind out the targets now, Mike?
only finna grind these because its a good way to level up season without me worrying about yknow
season being levelled up because it passes the time
and by the time im done with all these ill be like season level 40
Well “The” hunter
Pretty dam interesting
So, are you gonna grind out the targets now, Mike?
@spare arrow No, i'm gonna make a lfg post
Ah. Didnt need the ping, but aight.
oh ok its because of the quote thing
i finished the mission
srry won't ping you again
I'm... so confused
i had to modify a 100 haz build to kill the hunter bajeezus
I'm so lost
What’s the gimmick for Bardon’s manhunt mission
@cold bramble
I’m beginning to think the Hunters are tied to the Sokolovs
Belfry seems like a cool dude based on his profile
i accidentally pronounced schaeffer as shaver
The next manhunt boss after Faye will be a doppelganger called Bardon Shaver
Belfry is gonna make me scream. So much busy work
just got to power through
Bardon’s Paper
hell yeah
Well, filler missions done. On to the 9 CPs
Foam and spank
So... Why did Belfry join the outcasts?
We don't get much of a personality from him, but he seems stable and professional.
Then again, so did Keener.
Can't have a bad guy who just disagrees, they have to be a psychopath.
Funny story : I died to the hunter in the mission against schaeffer, but the game respawned me in the next phase of the mission, right after we kill the hunter
f
@round sinew all you really get from belfry is that he was treated worse than the other cell agents
Agreed.
I'm just confused as to why the hunters are working with BT
And why were the hunters specifically after every cell agent
But none others?
And wouldn't they hate schaeffer for being a rogue himself?
And what about Div 1? Did the hunters work for LMB?
Schaeffer's a rogue?
yes he is
Why was this not mentioned anywhere
I'm pretty sure it was somewhere
I'm just missing two comms from that mission
natalya sokolova is the leader of black tusk
Yeah, not shocked there.
There's one part of the story where Dragov calls Conley a "manic pixie dream girl", does anyone know where it is?
Lemme check the comms
I think it's a Conley log
It's the text for the Manic named AR but I'm curious about the context
Wdym context
As in the surrounding conversation
Dragov probably hit on her
lmao
that's precisely what I'm trying to confirm
They weren't a couple when the Sheriff hunts them down
a friend I'm playing with claims it's dialog in a mission
but he can't remember which one
Definitely not
I've played each mission 10 times over
Neither of them talk to one another
well we suspect it's one of the side missions in the Warlords campaign
Its likely only the Manic text
one of the ones that you can't replay
Mate I've played those multiple times too
oh.
It's definitely not a mission
Named weapon text aren't usually in game dialogue
Not true?
At least, they largely aren't.
oh he meant to say aren't
I can't think of any that are ever spoken. I'm sure one exists, but it's the exception.
same here
im suprised that we're fighting a hunter in schaeffer manhunt mission
@round sinew okay
Schaeffer has access to rogue skills
Even though being a rogue agent isn't directly mentioned
The mask you get from killing the hunter looks pretty cool.
I doubt Schaeffer was a rogue agent himself
he just got the technology from other rogue agents and probably mass-produced them to allow for use to BTSU operatives
Yeah the hunter handed me my ass on a plate
Who is this Natyla character Schaeffer was talking too?
Did she hire black tusk as like a contractor
This is what it seems in the audio
Also anybody wondering why there aint no audio from faye lau when she talking to him?
Schaeffer being SHD is nowhere in any lore. But it's been shown before that Black Tusk has control of SHD tech and has been working on making more of it usable to non-Agents. Schaeffer likely has some of this at his disposal.
@primal wren Natalya Sokolova. The people here, including myself, think she's likely a higher up for Black Tusk, like on the board of directors or an investor.
I personally think she's the owner or the daughter of the owner of Sokolov Concern and that Sokolov Concern is a backer/investor/supplier of Black Tusk.
You think they gonna dive deeper into that storyline?
Ideally? I hope so.
Realistically? Probably not anytime soon. Maybe Division 3.
Or if they're planning a new DLC for Div2, maybe then. But I still assume Manhunt Season 4 will be it.
We do know for a fact that Black Tusk has some SHD tech, as when they took over the Pentagon there was plenty of it laying around, they 100% stole some of it.
Remember, Agent's gear was made in the DARPA labs.
We haven't gotten any word on a new year of content roadmap. Sure, we still have the 3-4 months for Lau's manhunt, but if you compare to Division 1, we're at about the same point as far as content goes, and about as far in time since the game was released. So I'll be surprised if new content is announced instead of the game getting abandoned after Lau dies.
Season 4 most likely gonna be the most interesting yet
Honestly, yes. But it will likely be structured the same, so we'll get more audio logs that imply new lore. I figure that's about it
Unless Operation Nightmare gives us something good.
Man there is sooo much more they can do with the divison storyline
Yes. For Division 3.
I figure Operation Nightmare is a raid or zombie/horde mode. Probably the latter.
Either way, neither of those advance the actual story or lore.
The skyscraper was cool but it didn't set any new canon up. Underground even set more canon up than skyscraper. And both raids are basically gaiden.
And as far as Underground setting up lore, they did nothing with it, same as Survival.
Division is good at setting up plot hooks, but it doesn't always follow through.
And when it does, it's disappointing.
Looking at you, Keener.
I mean
They may bring back survival lore??
Considering hunters are being expanded on
so the hunter is a unit under Schaeffer command or they just working with him like partner?
what happens after we kill faye lau?
no one knows since you cant kill her yet
ok cool
we may lau after we kill her i guess
Why Schaeffer faction logo looks like Rogue Agent?
i noticed that too
For those who asking who is the unknown hunter in agent edwards mission...there ya go! He's shaeffer's baby boy
he was the strongest hunter i played against
I'm comfused. Why there's a bunch of rikers in the first session of the manhunt?
The hunter in Agent edwards mission... the "unknown" is working with schaeffer? The BTSU? Or just Natalia sokolova?
The shady operation mentioned by kelso after you kill the unknown hunter... does this ties to faye lau?
final session of the mission, Schaeffer's special unit. Why does schaeffer faction logo is the same as all rogue agents? Is that a devs bug forgot to change it? Or he's one of the first wave of agents turn rogue?
he might actually be a first wave agent
@jolly wharf Rikers are unknown why they are on Coney. Probably salvaging.
The "unknown" was working with Schaeffer. It's the only part of the lore that ties to the origin of hunters. Natalia Sokolova is confirmed the leader of Black Tusk, or at least a higher-up compared to Schaeffer.
The shady operation is not confirmed to tie to Faye. The reasoning for the BTSU to be on a mission in Coney is unknown, nor why they brought a hunter with them. The coming of the agent (player) was unknown.
Fighting the BTSU itself, his symbol is different because he is, in fact, a rogue agent. He uses rogue SHD tech. He is indeed a rogue agent, being part of the first or second wave is unknown, as is his ties to Keener.
Final note: Faye is the only member left alive of the BTSU as of currently.
@silent geyser you might wanna take a look at this too if you are interested
I find it hard to believe that Schaeffer was an agent at any point
I don't. He mentioned to Faye in multiple comms "thanks for sticking with the right side." Schaeffer's goal was clear: protect the president. The first wave of agents changed from that, and that is why LMB was after The Division/JTF. Their goal was to protect the president. After the fall of LMB and Black Tusk taking power, The goal of LMB/BT was still to protect the president and restore order.
so waiitt sokolova is dead right?
No
then why did you say faye is the only member left alive ?
wait so schaeffer = leader of btsu (white tusk?) and sokolova = black tusk leader
I've mentioned this in the past, but this game is hyper-realistic when it comes to politics. All of these guns just take the toppings, so you see the most of it.
listen to every comm, every echo, every dialogue, and especially the propaganda broadcasts. Each faction thinks they are sane, and in a way they are (except for hyenas, they are just druggies). The rikers just want to be treated fairly and think of everyone as family, cleaners just want to clean the streets from a virus and start over fresh, LMB/Black Tusk want to protect the president. True sons are just a political organization, wanting everyone to join their side and making enemies along the way. Outcasts want to hurt those who hurt them back, sacrificing people who they find in need of sacrifice. Vengeful, similarly to the Rikers.
Then the rogue agents. Kajika thinks they were betrayed, Parnell wants to know the truth about everything, Conley wants to fulfill the legacy of Joe Ferro, and Dragov just wants a home. Keener wants a fresh beginning, letting nature take control of the balance that human's offset for centuries.
Think about it. Are any of them really wrong? Is anyone wrong? Is there a villain at all here?
wait so schaeffer = leader of btsu (white tusk?) and sokolova = black tusk leader
@silent geyser Sokolova is not part of the BTSU. The BTSU is a squadron, while Sokolova is moreso a commander, not getting her hands dirty per se. The BTSU is not the white tusk. The white tusk I'd say are more realistically closer to ex-LMB members due to similar uniforms and combat tactics.
ye i always thought that this game was a bit on the realistic side
This is a quote I always come back to about this game:
"There is no wrong nor right. Only indifference."
its fictional but its tries to be a bit realistic
I believe you're overthinking it. Ellis is nothing but a tool that gives BT legitimacy to take over the country.
I also belive that Schaeffer had no direct link to the Division prior to Faye joining him. He was just trying to get people to join BT. I believe there is an ECHO of him and Sawyer talking together where he's trying to convince her to join BT.
As for Sokolova, we don't know who she is yet. Maybe russians are involved and she's their link
@fiery inlet This is not overthinking it. Schaeffer has access to rogue skills directly, therefore has a watch of his own.
As for Ellis being used as a tool, I would disagree. Black Tusk/LMB had no previous intent to do any of this, and can't be confirmed that they do have any intent present-day. There is no evidence to suggest any faction wants to 'take over'.
I'm pretty sure bounties bosses have access to skills, it doesn't mean anything.
Also, take a look for yourself
The dude spent his entire life in the army/BT and is working to undermine the Division.
Again, the goal of BT is to take over and Ellis gives them legitimacy in the eyes of the population to do so
Ah my bad. I guess Schaeffer is not a rogue agent, and likely used the Hunter in order to obtain these rogue skills. that would make sense.
Regardless of how they are using their tactics, this entire storyline is merely political. Just multiple forms of government fighting out to see which comes out on top. Ellis and the Black Tusk represent Republic, Civilians/Peacekeepers represent parliamentary Democracy, Hyenas represent oligarchy, outcasts/cleaners represent monarchy, et cetera.
I hope the devs will give us the hunter skill in the next season.
Like
Smoke pulse - teleports the agent to recent checkpoint and gives you 10 second inventory time for changing gears and resets the other skill. Can be triggered while on combat.
Cooldown 3mins.
🤔 maybe
well how would it work for legendaries or heroics?
would it just run off the most recent checkpoint, the start of the building?
and will the enemies respawn in the areas?
Same as the normal mode spawn. For example you died in DUA legendary you are on the 2nd floor where the btsu robots are. If you trigger the skill you will automatically spawn to the recent opened doors
Yea the one with the targeted pulse
Sad to say we cant get our characters teleport just like the hunters. I still dont get it why they can vanish instantly. Seems the devs apply some witchcraft skills.
give me my flashbang seeker mine
I’m thinking they want the Hunters to act like Ninjas
Although that doesn’t explain why they don’t Naruto run
do you guys have Coney Island Ballpark locked behind the Schaeffer mission, even though you did it?
Was anyone else hella disappointed in the Aaron Keener fight
I was hoping they did it sort of raid style
So if the Hunter wastes you in Schaeffer's mission he despawns and the game treats it like you killed him
Interesting
I guess it works like the other hunters, but it's weird to do it in a mission.
Maybe it's to prevent a difficulty spike?
It's a really tough fight
I think he can heal 4 or 5 times
So that's probably the reason they skip it, yeah
Well that was an interesting bit of lore-dump in Schaeffers mission. Not sure how I feel about the whole "Sokolov" thing.
We'll have to see what season 4 and Codename Nightmare have to offer 👀
So if the Hunter wastes you in Schaeffer's mission he despawns and the game treats it like you killed him
@round sinew I confirm that, i died to him, but after the respawn i was fighting rikers, and after clearing them Schaeffer said that the hunter was dead
The best part is Schaeffer isn't even dead.
We got him in critical cond
@alpine sedge same. He killed me in roughly a second. Chem launch and immediately shot me and lit me up like a Christmas tree. I had no chance.
I reset and was able to live for about 30 seconds
Maybe I shouldn't bring a skill build to a hunter fight.
i had an armor build tbf, but he shredded through with a couple of bullets
Anyone wanna comment on why the Hunter made a Mass Effect Reaper screech instead of, yknow, speaking like a human?
Idk really lol, maybe a mental disabillity, that's my best guess. Crazy guy, i mean
I really doubt Ubisoft would go there, that's walking on thin ice to say the least.
IMO they're just crazy.
I mean, they are hunters
some people think they are the 3rd wave, wiping out the rest
some think they are rogues
We would need lore behind said hunters, and who's behind the mask
whats in the canister?
I thought the generally accepted idea was that they're insane 1st Wave who totally lost it?
The Mask Hunters anyway.
there are unmasked Hunters?
Could be the clean-up crew since the Division started going rogue left, right and center back in New York
No like, the ones that give masks and the ones that don't.
The "Mask" Hunters seem to be unaffiliated with the Summit ones, since they're not setting Jigsaw traps.
Huntors
I keep hearing npc talking about boston think we'll head that way?
I think there'll be some Fallout if we head there.
maybe the city the Black Tusk originates from? It would be cool to see an entire city infested with Black Tusk
I wonder what the secret extra faction's gonna be in Div3. We've already had rogue army and PMC. The next cliché would be terrorists.
imo id want d3 to be prequel, almost like playing as JTF and max level is when you get the call from SHD and then you are first wave
or just go completely different story a couple decades later with a new virus outbreak, have a more advanced technology SHD team
and im grasping at straws, we have a miniature razorback backpack for a spec, 5 drone army :D
The prequel story idea you had is kinda already told. Like, he know what happened with the JTF, and I don't think many are gonna wanna play as the "best of a bad situation" guys.
Div3 will likely just be another city with a story that's hopefully not involving Lau or Keener or anyone. Have some recurring charactering, but I'd really like something new please. WONY was my nostalgia topped off nicely.
Would like too see one of the Division HQs in a game.
I wanna see if they're still standing and why the fuck they aren't helping.
I'm guessing the "why aren't they helping" is answered by "they ded".
SHD: We made our entire agency full of redundancies with 3 equal headquarters so no matter what happens to the country, SHD will still be around to help.
Black Tusk: ok. Bet.
Let's be honest, Tusk are only effective because there's no one around to challenge them on that scale.
And because they have the backing of everyone that matters, apparently.
Does anyone know where to get the final Intel for Hidden Agenda?
I got 19/20 now and the last one missing is called Failures
I would think you replay the final mission if it’s like the other manhunts
@wary ivy you just have to keep doing the final mission until you get the rest
I repeated the manhunt mission.
Kelso said we taken all down the rogue cell. Does this mean on the next manhunt there will be no more 4 bounty rogue agents? If they would replace the 4 rogue agents to hunters. That would be badass.
What Kelso was referring to is that we've taken down this Cell, note: Cell's operate independently. We may have removed them all, we may have not. We don't know and we may never be sure.
Well, im pretty much satisfied if i get to hunt down LMB remnants.
I'm satisfied when the game ends
More pessimistic than a direct spoiler, but you do you.
If what happens is what I think's gonna happen, she'll have her very own Cell soon enough.
A 6x8 one.
Heh
the hunter in Schaefer mission is difficult, heal 4 times and practically 1 shot you unless you have lots of armor or in my case perfectly unbreakable talent
ehh, I think a .338 would fit pretty nicely in her skull.
i'd rather just leave her dead then put her in the cell. atleast she can be with her sister again
I would prefer incendiary method. Im no cleaner but thats the thing I always use when killing BTSU ExLMB shorgunners and important True sons.
Mostly because its painful.
And let her ashes just rot there.
put it in a urn, and then piss in it?
@sleek plover you have an unhealthy obsession with these people
I know, i mean like i said many times before, reading about LMB at the wiki was what drove me to buy the game in the first place.
I mean "freedom is not a right" srsly?!
That sounded like a nigh-religious blasphemy to me.
Isnt that what true sons propagamda broadcasts say, and not LMB soldiers?
Well they said that at the enemy trailer
hell no we should frame that shit in the white house
@cold bramble
Either way, her head would be a sacred offering to divine lady liberty.
lady liberty is technically french
uhh not really she is just a giant statue
NY would have better fate going extinct by the plague than have LMB took over.
imagine if lady liberty didn't oxidize
it would be weird to see lady liberty... you know, coppery.
uhh not really she is just a giant statue
@spare arrow
Well freedom is the one sacred truth of the world.
All shall worship it or die.
If you hate the lmb so much why are they about 1/3rd of your name
Ohkay thats too far
Reel it back
if you weren't actually an aspect then why is it half of your name?
I am an Aspect tho
hmm
Well i am pretty sure @waxen arrow is not a hereditary noble.
nope, not noble
thus not a lord
its an old xbox live name that I used back in 2014
technically it was Gamelord101, and when I was getting xbox live, somebody took it
my brother was supposed to be KillerWaffle101, but that changed as well
so i'm Gamelord06 now
Anyways you should probably get your real life hate of a fictional PMC checked out
fuck the black tusk
all my homies hate the black tusk
I mean Ive seen many people in the fandom defending LMB and even saying they want to join them
so I just wanted to play my part
but, why?
my part as the hater
I get not liking them, i do. But wanting an explicitly all-LMB bounty or mission solely to burn them alive is kinda messed up, dontcha think?
Well thats the reason why i bought the game.
half of the skills in this game count as warcrimes, aspect.
also I want them impaled or aztec-style sacrificed front of the statue
imagine if that's what keener did
Or force marched all tarred and feathered while new yorkers sling garbage at them
just hung people off the spikes of lady liberty's crown
SHD agents cant commit warcrimes, we arent at war
just hung people off the spikes of lady liberty's crown
@waxen arrow
That is a great idea.
wait NO-
SHD agents cant commit warcrimes, we arent at war
@spare arrow
Another reason to go rogue than
Would never hurt civilians though
I mean, SHD agents are given explicit authorization to take anything found as long as it is not being used, or in possesion of a civilian
isn't every single faction, including the SHD, a tyrant?
Rioters, Outcasts arent
They all are battling over territories for their benefit
As for Rikers and Hyenas... it is debatable
They all want power for power's sake
and once they get that power, they use it to gain even more
Cleaners True Sons, LMB and BTSU definitely is.
SHD technically is too.
Rioters want to kill all the people of power of the country. Outcasts want everyobe to suffer like they did in the quarantine.
Err. Rikers.
i know
Rioters just wanna live.
if the outcasts didn't weaponize the virus, I would sympathize for them
same
and, you know, not light my ass on fire.
like I said, a shame they prey on the weak.
BEEP BOO BEEEP
screams in C4 strapped on chest
is it just a large amount of C2, or just straight C4?
zero clue
Ngl first time i hit an outcast rusher's weakpoint, i laughed.
Most likely improvised i think
it looks to be a jerry can
its probably a gascan
first outcast meeting
Rusher: What should I do?
Emeline: You do what must be done.
It is a gascan or at least a modified one
yeah
Run fast
where does the rusher beep come from tho
Detonator in a hand, maybe?
Emeline video hammering that architect was realllllly satisfying.
maybe a mix of proximity mines?
And the part the outcasts in a line having their turns hammering it was brilliant
the Rikers police car video from TD1 kinda scared me
Emeline video hammering that architect was realllllly satisfying.
that one stressed me out, I don't like torture
It's a small explosive to trigger the mixture inside the gascan
you have 2 spins. one for each time you denied us.
that one stressed me out, I don't like torture
@cold bramble
He deserved it though
Thats kinda messed up
it is
and nobody needs to be a hostage, yet here we are
Like I said, i think he deserved it
I think it is ok for me to have outcasts conquering the entire nation.
so you're fine with a cult to govern the nation
Nope i think they deserve vengeance
Well their snitch card entries creeps me out though.
I haven't read them in a while
and there was this rapist...
gross
well the scar guy was a furry
tf
who wanted revenge because disneyworld wont let him wear his fursuit at the park
he is a sniper i think
interesting story
its true, snitch desperately trues to deny it in the card but its still true
Oh yeah there was this guy in the
snitch cards who infected the entire kindergarten
and thats the reason why i see outcasts flawed
they prey on the faultless, especially children
But i think it is better for them to take over USA than any other enemy factions.
The best option remains JTF/SHD
I mean snitch literally goes "FUCK THIS GUY" in the card
To clarify what LMB' said, the guy who infected the kids with Green Poison actually poisoned puppies and released them to the kids.
So the idea that a faction like that would control the USA is....just no.
Black Tusk would be cool if they stopped killing JTF and militia
And working with Keener who they know is creating more viruses like the Green Poison, and if they stopped murdering innocent people in the street like in their snitch cards, and if.....
Only The Division can makes things right
Like any other Tom Clancy game whether it’s Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six etc.
I mean at this point SHD are the only ones left apart from civvies. I bet Sam Fisher died of Green Poison pretty fast. He keeps ignoring social distancing when he knocks enemies out.
I still maintain that the rest of the world is perfectly fine, and its just america thats gone.
Unlikely. This is from the first game intro cutscene:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/284806201475203082/778946650546503700/unknown.png
Its a running gag between some friends and i. I know most of the world is gone, but its funny nonetheless
I see 👀
hunter and b.t.s.u working together goddamn
In surprised they didn’t bother investigating that hunters body we killed or bothered to recover it.
We never did with any of the other encounters either
Not sure why people keep communicating over the radio either since none of it is secure 
make new radio channel
I like to imagine Rogues exclusively use iCloud and that's why we are able to get into it so easily.
lmao
::Hunter Grunt::
some hunter randomly popped up while I was doing the shade bounty
the fuck? once I killed him he smoke screened
Kelso talks too much to be a Hunter.
this ^
Menacing laughter intensifies -Coney Island Hunter, 2020
Kelso talks too much to be a Hunter.
@ashen jungle than a clown hunter
kelso, clown of kenly college, master hunter of deception,
didn't we hear the coney island hunter speak
They screamed, I only ran through it once though so can't be 100%.
kinda like The Predator kinda scream.
I think they're insane, which makes sense as they are a Mask Hunter and all of them are at least a little crazy.
You'd have to be to set up a puzzle that no one is likely to ever find.
wait it drops a mask?
it's a good one too.
oh shit that's a cool mask
Ngl Schaffer manhunt mission was underwhelming
Hunter aspect was cool
But they build him up to be who he was and we just off him
Really?
However, from now on, anytime I agree to do something I’m just gonna respond with “[an affirmative groan]”
My main issue with it was that his BTSU team was easy as pie.
Yeah it just felt like I killed normal black tusk dudes
Hopefully now that we know at least the sounds that hunters make, maybe that can open something up in the future
Well that particular Hunter, although it does help confirm for me the fact that they're all insane.
I do like that they didn't try and ret-con them.
I just mean like, the Mask Hunters and the other ones are the same faction, or at least it looks like it. Which I quite like.
I don't buy that they're insane
If they're so unstable they scream in robot-demon when talked to by a friend, they're not stable enough to be effective fighters or reliable allies.
I think the only true logic is this: Hunters are aliens.
They're Predators
if they are then I'll stop playing division
aliens is so stupid and cliche
it would be fun, but a really unsatisfying ending
It's probably better to keep what they are a mystery whether they are human, alien, robotic, etc.
Human, Div2 is real-ish-istic as is, let's not bring Terminators into this.
Note: that changes if I can dress as Sarah Connor.
I know just as i was typing it came to mind that's all
People will always speculate so you can always imagine
I prefer to imagine a world where a Tom Clancy product avoids randomly adding in The Predator.
cough Breakpoint cough
And terminators imagine that
The predator mission was out of nowhere and it was kind of cool but that was it
They have the capacity to at least follow orders like a dog would at most
Very beast like, due to their hefty experiments
Candidacy for the Hunter program might not even be voluntary...
I think why that hunter listened to schaffer was because he knew division would come for him
I think hunters really like killing division agent so that's why it stayed with schaffer
Schafer had him on a short leash it seemed, barely controllable as what it did to those rikers-they just like to kill period
I feel like hunters are in a very loose way related to predators in the sense they want to fight the strongest there is and take trophies from the agents they kill
The Sokolovs experiments seemed to undermine and counter SHD and The Division directly in order to speed up their hostile takeover of the country
Wait i never read all the manhunt audio logs yet did I miss somethings in those?
But as a duality in predatory tendencies, We as Division agents also take trophies from our kills as well from their masks
True
The Sokolov foundation are throwing everything at us to see if anything sticks, be it Black Tusk, Rogue Agents, or Hunters. But fortunately, elite Division agents have managed to overcome these odds and made big strides in both NY and DC
Ok I see
Actually im curious, Hunter vs Predator. Who would win?
Predator would probably win but hunter emp could even the odds
Hunter scary
I too think predator has better tech because alien
but video-game npc wise i think hunters have a way better AI
Should probably move that to off-topic.
Probably
yes i concur
Hey guys wht happems to president ellis after he got into the heli
So far of all the manhunt, bardon schaeffer is my most favorite.
Coz i got my revenge on that "unknown" hunter who killed agent edwards on Agent Edwards support side mission.
I dont know if that hunter is the same hunter.
Well if you got killed by that hunter in side mission it says on inspect "no data available"
But if you got killed by a puzzled hunters the one when you need to do some tasks in order to summon him.
Its says "data corrupt"
Also this includes hunters on the floor 100 summit
What about his mask?
Well it makes sense why you cant kill him...in order to introduced the coming of the hunters in DC as well as puzzles to be solved.
Until then he finally showed up again in a manhunt.
What’s the lore on Yarrick the beard
idk but someone else might
I dont know either, some say the devs just put yanik there for no reason.
Also in his data says "team baguette"
You mean Yannick?
@jolly wharf what exactly do you want to know? It's straightforward.
Interesting thing that happened, A Hunter showed up in the middle of my Sin Eaters bounty (tracking wraith as you know.) the Hunter was mowing down the enemy hyenas while I was firing my bakers dozen at ‘em successfully, flamin bugger used an armor kit and just as I was about to finish em off, disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Just throwing this out there: but I have a feeling these hunters have an agenda of their own, I feel as though they may somehow play a bigger role in Div 2’s future. I can feel it...
Anyone can tell me what's in the audio logs for Belfry and Bardon?
The Belfry ones are mostly him calling up the other members of the 'Cell and bitching that he's getting ignored. The Schaeffer end one is him having a conversation with Ms. Sokolova.
When he got on the ladder
He do be whippin that ho
"Sir there isnt any roof access"
"So blow a hole in the roof"
Honestly tho
Like I was expecting it would be hard to extract him
Then ge pulled out the 45
He*
The division: mr president get down!
President Ellis: reloads with malicious intent
Welcome
nobody tell them.
hunter spawned night time between MLK Memorial Library CP and DUA Stronghold, strange since i have all the mask
That’s a stalker
A stalker? What’s a stalker?
A non hostile hunter that watches you. They disappear when you look at them but it is possible to kill them.
Oooo, imma find myself one of these bois and put a bullet in their skull!
You get nothing for killing them.
i thought you got a random mask if you didnt have all of them already :/
Uh that is the first I have ever heard of that, so if someone told you it then I really, really doubt it.
Okay, there is definitely something going on with these hunters, It can’t be a coincidence.
During the bounty for dusk “Edward’s Company” A Hunter just popped in the parking lot from out of nowhere as there was a wave of disruption, decided not to shoot them and let ‘em bag a few of those palookas while I was pickin them off with nemesis and then the hunter decided to smoke out and disappear.
This is coincidental that a Hunter just pops in, bags a few and departs, every time, first one I saw while tracking down wraith, now another while tracking Dusk. Gonna Hunt Belfry after and see...
A Hunter showed up in every one of the 4 final bosses this season.
Yeah the deceit hunter
Was it the same Hunter? Because I killed them 3x.
Yup
Yeah then I can confirm with 100% accuracy that you do not get a mask from them.
Correct.
Theres a deceit mask up for grabs
Is that the one you get from the final Manhunt or a new source?
Oh okay I assumed it was a new one, since it's not super "new" anymore.
New to someone as otherwise they would have disclosed it in the above conversation
Also hunter is working for faction introduced in the same mission which fills a big gap in the lore of hunters it seems. But you never know with this game
Possibly a new faction for div3 if that even is a thing. Cannt see ubi doing any more major work on div2. Presumably lau also works for same faction. All clearing up the mess in what is currently called the division. With so much if it going rogue.
I'd just like to say for anyone casually reading this thread, that's all speculation.
even if hunters were sent to wipe out rogue div agents
still doesnt explain why they attack the player
we ain't rogue???
Also, that completely ignores the Hunters that set-up elaborate puzzles and have keys to the 2 Chests.
@gloomy sand the hunter is tracking the rogues and attacking everything. Its apparent lau and schaeffer are terminating anything division. They could be independent or working with/for this mystery element referenced in the last manhunt mission imho. We can see what content comes from this when it arrives.
I'm going to stick with "pure speculation". We really don't know more than we've been told, and we haven't been told much.
@ashen jungle imo assuming there is a connection is a leap. Hunters up until this manhunt content were a mechanic to kill and get a reward.
Fair enough
Personally, I like to think that this is a red herring and the Hunters aren't anything more than guns for hire. And one's they're going to regret hiring.
I want a new enemy type already
We effectively got 2 new ones in WONY, plus White Tusk are a little different to Black, what is your idea for another Faction?
Revive LMB
Yay, ghetto Black Tusk.
Grey Tusk
You can't call them that, that is our word.
The Tribunal branches of Tusks
wr have a rogue faction on the horizon so....
Get outta this chat, you're gonna spoil stuff for yourself.
Yeah get outta here
ok im gonna say it
Schaeffer use necromancy to revive Keener just to kill him again
Keener was a Red Herring, it was actually that pain-meds guy from Div1 who never got his back medicine.
Keener died of cringe
His back was all f****d up, so he's gonna f**k up the rest of NYC.
Keener died to woke
I genuinely don't know why we didn't just empty our guns into Keener to make sure he wasn't faking it. We already know they can manipulate ISAC to fake deaths.
Isac : Woops rogue agent not decease
ISAC: can it wait for a bit, I'm in the middle of some calibrations.
Yeah but not voiced by Brandon Keener.
I do love that they made the primary villain share the surname of the ISAC VA.
What does ANNA stand for
It's the first time I've ever heard the name TBH, is that a thing in-game?
I think it's mentioned like... twice.
You know. Like most of the lore in the Division.
Speaking of guys from Division 1, though. Whatever happened to the superhero? Man literally flies and jumps off buildings. Where'd he go?
@round sinew stole from reddit.
He get's hit by a car. There's an echo of a Guy in a Cape, getting hit by a JTF soldier in a cop car. This also killed him, as it says, "Status: Deceased."
Not sure if its the same superhero. Lots mystery surrounding it. Hah.
Anyone have any ideas of what code name nightmare is gonna be?
They did say it was gonna be kind of like a horde mode buttttttt, I don’t think so.
With all this talk of RedStorm coming back, I think that they are moving the D1 DZ to New York in D2.
There are some rumors about the D1 servers being shut down and that happening.
Anyways if not, it’ll probably just be some wave type horde mode where you can get loot. I hope that’s not it and Massive will start focusing more on pvp for once.
hey can someone explained everything from how keener came back to life up until now?
Huh? He never died in Div1. Go watch the final scene again if you need to, it's on Youtube.
We never even saw him in-person in Div1, just an Echo he made.
well i know,we didnt even get to see him ever again after the campaign.but i mean how did you came back after WoNY?
'he
not you sry
He doesn't come back after WONY though. He's dead. We saw him die.
I doubt Massive would reverse that.
how about that manhunt in tidal basin?his black(not racist)buddy talked something about the Eclipse with him
the relationship between the Rouge and the BTSU?
also the current manhunt,since i dont even have the dlc to start with
you still here?
Try to avoid pinging people, I will respond when I can.
Anyway, the relationship between the Rogues and Black Tusk seems to be somewhat strained now. BTSU is kinda a splinter group within 'Tusk (they're the special forces of Tusk) anyway
The manhunt is all about taking out the head of that special unit, Schaeffer. Apparently in canon we captured him.
What exactly are you trying to ask here?
That's it, Manhunt is over and the capture thing is only just kinda told to you, there's no cut-scene and you don't even see him in the White House.
thats IT?that sounds really underwhelming
It's not a paid expansion. Just something to tidy up/set-up the next big one.
Think like Coney Island and the end of that.
i mean,Faye is what we all have left as the villain now
without the Tusk,Ellis would be practically a scarecrow
wait so Coney Island is the prequel to WoNY?
i always thought that was after WoNY,thats why i assumed Keener ame back from the dead
Coney Island directly leads to WONY, think of it as the mission before it in the campaign.
Ellis has the legal right to be the POTUS, he has absolute power in the USA now that he's the highest (and potentially one of the last members of) government.
but didnt he betrayed the country when he switched sides?
base game > dark hours > classified assignments > pentagon missions > coney island > WONY > seasonal missions/manhunts
And who's left to kick him out of office?
this is gonna sound too far out,but my bet is on Manny
Manny is what?
the comms guy?
Yeah but what about him?
DC SHD Coordinator, but he has no say on who the president is
i mean he could be replacing Ellis,seeing how good he is at his job of giving orders
its kinda like when the Theater voted Sawyer up despite her having do leadership skill
"giving orders" and "being the president" arent really the same
no'
The President of the United States is not just a position that anyone can take. There is a system of Government, IIRC any federal employee is technically in line to the big boss after everyone above them dies. Remember, Ellis is only the President because the first one died, the 2nd one "committed suicide" (read: was killed) and Ellis is just the next one alive after the rest are dead.
well thats why i said its too far out
but i mean so what now?shd just became a rouge agency?
Ellis was the speaker of the house, after the VP and the President were killed by a member of the Secret Service after getting a payout from BT.
Before you ask, there's an echo in a parking lot nearby that shows 2 Secret Service Agents with the recently murdered new President before Ellis. Then a member of Tusk kills them off.
yeah i got one recording about them setting it up as a suicide
didn't the OG President just die from Green Poison?
SHD sees Ellis as a traitor, so we work for "the people"
but i mean on legal sides,Ellis can just announced that SHD is disavowed
Sure, if the senate was still alive.
cuz hes the boss
but how are we suppose to beat them?wouldnt that just go against the original purpose of the Division,to protect the government in case of an catastrophy
Ellis is just a pawn. You see how important he is in one of the missions. He nothing to tusks.
catastrophe'
yeah,Chickenhawk really cracked me up there
Disavowed from what? BT? Ellis is "working with" BT but there is no-one that can say "shd bad bt good"
so why even bother keeping him alive if hes useless?
You can edit comments, just press "up arrow" on your keyboard to edit the last one then enter once you're done editing.
ohhhhh thanks
the POTUS has access to a lot of classified info and security.
not to mention The Football.
Briefcase the POTUS keeps near at all times that allows them to launch nukes.
its a real thing.
The Nuclear Football.
So Ellis really isn't useless at all to Tusk, he's just annoying.
Again a pawn. What the big plan? He just a small part. He was manipulated into their agenda.
He agreed to having Mendoza killed though. I don't think we can give him a free pass here.
I mean, he is a pawn, but he isnt as small as you think.
And ignoring everything else, even the Hyena's knew he was a good bargaining chip. Eventually we'll get him back and likely keep him locked up.
True. Keeping him alive for something. Hopefully we see more into that after all this.
Cool. We can add him to our growing zoo with Tchernenko and Schaeffer
Maybe one day they'll open that zoo.
Awesome. I wanna throw peanuts at Schaeffer
right now I can only assume they're all locked in a cupboard somewhere.
I'd imagine Tchernenko is working with the perfusion bioreactor & Schaeffer is sitting in a cell.
Well at least the bio-reactor is visible.
Tchernenko should be in a cell, too. He's too dangerous.
Tchernenko did what he did at gun-point, he really didn't want to do it.
Don't care.
You will notice that his cell in Coney Island had a toilet, a bed and a stool to sit on.
they need him for the production of the broad-spectrum antiviral
Imo he's too dangerous in general to be left alive.
He has expressed a couple times that he DIDNT want to be involved with most of the stuff he was involved in.
but he was forced to do it
He is probably one of the best people to help with the BSA
In what was shape or form is he "too dangerous to be left alive"?
We have Kandel for the BSAV. And Kandel never created Eclipse
Isn't kandel missing?
Kandel is most likely dead.
Yeah she was mentioned at some point in WONY. I'm nearly certain.
Don't get me started on the lack of canon on what happened after Dearborn
what if Kandel is the true villain behind all of this?
thats dumb
^
X to doubt.
Whats Dearborn?
that makes less sense than Rhodes secretly being the mastermind behind Green Poison.
City in MI
Not American, huh?
Or Mii, the city where all the nintendo characters live.
Dearborn, Michigan. It's the capital(?) of the state and the location of U of M.
That's where Kandel had gone after NYC to work on the BSAV.
But based on the timeline, she would've been there when Black Tusk attacked the campus.
IIRC BT took over it, so she's likely imprisoned there.
Too bad we'll probably never know.
Ya never know what the next DLC will say.
It won't answer any canon or lore, that's for sure.
And what it does, it won't do well.
Yay, its "game sux" time again. I thought my watch was slow.
Getting my bonk stick ready.
Nah, I'm always pessimistic.
Be pessimistic, just don't be a nihilist.
I have nothing else to do other than be crotchety while I slowly whither away.
You're not using nihilism right.
Rivenscry,i saw you talking something about how Keener was a distract for a guy with a broken back?
Was making a jokey reference to an NPC in the BoO in Div1.
It would play his line of "my back's all f**ked up", and for some reason the line would loop and play over a bunch of other static lines in the Base.
lol
It got so bad that you could hear it from any where inside the main base.
i would imagine the Division just turned into this massive game series with 50 parts,each representing a state or a city
that would make a complex lore that challenges BO3 storyline
anyways,what with all these Tusk with different uniforms(black,white,brown)?
Complex lore
Division
Pick one
uhhhh whats the difference here?
He's doing the angry internet meme and trying to say that Div has no complex lore.
Black Tusk exists. White Tusk wears the white uniforms. They don't necessarily exist in canon, but the theory goes that they're former LMB absorbed into BT.
i almost failed secondary school due to literature
so its a great story to me as long as its long
Black uniforms are just BTSU peeps. White uniforms are supposedly the LMB that got put into BTSU & now exist in the legendary difficulty. Brown uniforms... IDK.
Slight correction: BTSU and Black Tusk are not exactly the same thing. BTSU are a special forces unit that operates within Tusk.
fixed the edit.
BTSU is the specialist unit of BT.
Based on some descriptions, they're not even BTSU. They're just BT.
Oh, white tusk?
Some sources describe BTSU as just the dozen bosses under Schaeffer's command, not the hundreds of goombas that go with them.
the Summit is located at New York right?
Summit is in NYC yeah
why is there True Sons,Outcast there?
Summit seems to exist outside of canon.
Summit doesn't even really make sense. Like, why did they attack it?
For the satellite?
slightly out of topic:are you willing to pay 60 bucks for the full div1 that is 100% like what we were shown at E3?
No.
Well I assume satellites don't crash and stay intact in the world of Division too often.
Since it never happens irl
Well it does but usually just in the middle of nowhere.
That's a good question actually, what is on the satellite that they need? It's just a relay, they don't really store data.
They usually burn up completely in the atmosphere. So an intact satellite just chilling on a rooftop is a curiosity.
its Division
Maybe it's an alien like the Siege event.
nothing sounds too impossible
maybe Tusk set up there as part of the SHD takedown plan
If it's an Alien, I'm saying this now, if Aliens get added in-canon (not just a fun event, added in the story) I will delete all my Exotics.
Do it.
That includes Bighorn.
insert Palpatine dew it meme
If Hunters turn out to be aliens, I'd be so happy.
why would they be there?
If the Hunters turn out to be aliens, I am leaving.
oh no are you the hunters are aliens guy
No, but I've heard that theory.
i like the CoD treatment better:its all the Russian's
And I want it to be true so I can finally quit in peace.
COD can have its weird Russian racism, I'll stick with post apocalypse.
You can quit anytime you want.
Nope, it was smallpox.
it was disguised as smallpox
Yes.
Gordon was an alien
Yes
It was the same aliens that built the pyramids, they made Green Poison so the lizard people could take over the government, but the humans got wise and killed their pupped president Mendoza.
God please make that happen
Mendoza the IH boss?
The channel is for spoilers not crackpot theories
That's better canon than what they turned Keener into.
So aspect, I should tell you that I've been hired by the writing team.
come on man,have fun for a minute
spoilers: im adding in Batman.
Wasn't there already a Batman?
nah he got hit by a car and died.
Bativsion
which batman
wait theres one?
the superhero in div1, he ded
wait there is?
no which batman are you adding
a JTF hit him with a copcar and he got splatted.
There's a few superheroes in Div1
oh Miguel from the future series.
what the actual fu-
There's Batman and the guy with actual superpowers.
how is this possible?
I'm cool with that
if they have superpowers,why dont they do the div job?
I was tempted to go for old man batman, but I feel it's too on the nose.
Nobody wants to remember the guy with superpowers. But i remember.
He can fly and survive falling off skyscrapers.
you cant convince me to believe that superheroes die by smallpox or got hit with a car
Also he's bulletproof iirc
can survive falling off a skyscraper, got pancaked by a JTF driving a copcar.
I thought that was Batman
nah that was Robin, they die like flies.
Because there's the guy with superpowers, and then there's the guy trying to be a superhero who dies.
I think you're confusing them.
how do you rate Keener wony on a scale from 1 to 10?
6 or a low 7. Man's got plans.
why though?he seemed close to the original
Man's got the worst plans.
@round sinew rule 10, seriously
Because he went from some evil genius to a cartoon villain.
well his physc profile says for himself
he tends to snaps under massive pressure
and start losing his mind
@spare arrow I'm not being negative. I'm allowed to voice my fucking opinion that Keener was narratively worse in WONY.
dude chill.
but really,'reloading nows your chance'is the worst insult ive ever get in a video game
You are being overly negative, though.
The meta-insults were a nice touch.
That one confused me. Keener in Div1 was a future's trader pre-Green Poison. "thinks he's the smartest guy in the room" is how he's described.
Let's be honest, a 5yr old with a toy hammer could.
A 5 year old with a toy hammer & an ISAC watch could
Lmao. He was set up to be such a badass.
well thats alot of coding
Garrus and a 5yr old is a sitcom I'd watch.
I do love that the surname for ISAC's VA is Keener.
i want to have the option to switch sides,like Cold War type of
and at the end,you'll kill Kelso by yourself
sounds weird thou
That would be... An interesting expansion.
hot take: kelso is best girl
I don't get why people hate her
^
I think she accurately portrays what a loose cannon agent can be like without going rogue.
Grey Jedi.
"Please neutralize that fucking thing by any means necessary."
What do you mean by that thanh?
Really makes you 🤔 what the rogues did to be rogue. Probably killed civvies
i dont get why people hate her too
The line before that.
i mean,close to be a woman
Killed civvies & agents, likely.
Sawyer looked as if she died in Infinity War
Uh actually it's very well explained why they went Rogue. I'll try and keep it brief.
ill cut short for Riven:
Rogues got caught in the original Dark Zone. It's why they hate the JTF so much.
1.JTF are useless
Went against their mission, basically.
2.exploitation of authority
They got trapped in there, trying to keep the civvies alive. Most died, the ones that lived went mad.
well its totally justified for me
in Div2 they were turned into "tied innocents to a railroad track" though.
Yeah, but I doubt every rogue came from the DZ. We see in the books you can go rogue kind of easily.
That's where Keener's team came from. Rogue faction, not just rogue agents.
the one that worked with the Cleaners in WONY was hit by a fire turret and got badly burnt, was saved by the Cleaners.
imagine being stuck in a death zone that you have to keep a mask on your face 24/7,abandoned by your so-called teammates,and got killed the moment you try to get out
I think the Manhunts do a middling job of telling us why we should be killing the rogues. Some have a good reason like they're crazy or fragged a room full of kids.
But some are just "kill them because they're rogue"
I let them shoot first. They always seem to.
well i want to see a rouge redeem him/herself
Yes. That seems so weird. Lol.
that is so close to Ghost and Roach'death in mw2
We are mostly going after them because they have been working with the main boss, and may have some way to figure out where the prime target is.
betrayed
hornet looks like someone who came out of a gay fanfic
Woah now.
Let's hold off on the homophobia. No need for that.
Dont say it.
irregular
Stop that though or so help me.
They have exactly the relationship I'd expect of best friends who've been in wars together.
what if they are in love? is that gonna change anything?
i mean,even one of the rouges in the campaign called the out
no stop
youll give someone ideas
Frankly it's none of anyone's business if they are.
stfu and leave them be
i mean its just interesting subplots
Well they're both dead now, so it's a moot point.
You mean the DLC we're gonna get: Nightmare? Or like if we could build our dream DLC?
Horde Mode, but that's cheating because we know that's what it is.
anything you like
Yeah it's gonna be zombie hordes. I want Survival 2, but Massive likes to blueball me.
mines a Detroit:Become Human type of
im sick of being told what to do
even your character doesnt have a voice
Oh. You mean a plot where you play as a Rogue?
no,like i can decide how the story is layed out
Insert some philosophical speak about how none of us really have voices.
Deciding our own story would be cool. But that's a little... Hard to pull off Tbh.
like when Faye pull you out of that helo,you dont even move your eyes?
they have the audacity to charge 20 bucks fr a dlc
I wore sunglasses in D1 so I never saw my eyes lmao.
me2
20 bucks isnt much.
^
but on my second playthough,i got so cringed that i never played div1 since then
I'd say WONY is a 20 dollar DLC.
20 bucks is alot in my country
Not all DLCs are created equal, but that one is a solid DLC. Better than the expansions we got in D1.
but cant say the same for everyone
agreed
The DLCs in D1 were pretty small, so I can't complain about how good WONY was, even if I hate half the narrative.
The stuff we paid for in D1 is being given to us free in D2.
What.
I think hunger games was the first to have hunger games
just so you think "o damn this game is great" and "ubi has learnt from their mistakes"
ever realized you gotta buy the game twice to be able to make actual progress?
div 1 wasn't a rose sea
looks at all the Ubi games I've bought and played
Joke's on you. I don't think that at all.
well they got better with the graphics,atleast with this one
they didnt bamboozle everyone with that fake graphics
It's not that bad.
D2 is far better with paid content than D1.
They've at least improved in this specfic franchise
yeh
at least in div1 you didn't need to pay to make progress
and you got actual rewards for grinding
You're right. You just needed to pay for not-DLC
Okay. I don't really understand where you're coming from. I'm gonna drop it.
what if theres a event for non dlc players to grab the dlc for free?
Oh. That's bad.
That's the worst idea.
like a competitive one,1 out of 100
Devs need to pay rent.
That's even worse? Stop this.
ah i forgot about that
I'm more than willing to pay for DLC if I enjoy the game and the content is worth the pricetag.
i feel so bad now
Also, imagine how you'd feel if you bought the DLC only for a few months later it's being given away for free.
You'd be livid
ok ive been really stupid saying that
Eyes up, Guardian.
Okay, that gave me a chuckle
anyone wants to switch topics?cuz everything ive proposed this evening sounds really stupid
Yeah, my next topic: I need to get to work.
Some of us are still here.
well i still feel bad for what i said up there
Why should you feel bad? its not gonna happen, so dont get too wound up about it.
More likely, one of the devs'll see this and go "Wow, thats never happening"
well that made me feel better
you might not know this but Keener callsign is Vangaurd
Kajika, Dragov, and Parnell have callsigns we arent currently aware of, but according to an audio log in season 1, Conley's callsign is Uranus. It could also be possible that that is a given callsign, but we arent sure.
All of the rogues in the manhunts have callsigns too.
well Keener's callsign is pretty ez to know,theres a audio log in the white house that literally confirms that
and his gun too
his gun is called vanguard?
i mean he use a CMMG when we fight him and he drops it so....
🇺🇸
