Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has kicked off its third season of year six, aptly named "Burden of Truth." This season beckons agents to dive deeper into the narrative, embarking on a quest to find Kelso across Washington, D.C., guided by her enigmatic clues. As agents progress, they'll uncover more about Lau's recruitment process and the mysterious "Cassandra" mission, enriching the game's storyline.
One of the season's highlights is the introduction of the Rogue Momentum system, which revolutionizes combat by incentivizing aggressive playstyles. Players can build momentum by taking down enemies and completing combat challenges. While standard kills offer a modest boost, the system rewards critical hits, skill combinations, multi-kills, and the elimination of elite foes with accelerated momentum gains. As players accumulate momentum, they unlock enhanced abilities such as increased movement speed, faster reload times, amplified damage output, and heightened firing rates. At the system's peak, the Overcharge feature activates, significantly reducing ability cooldowns and allowing for a more dynamic combat experience.
In addition to the new combat mechanics, "Burden of Truth" introduces an array of fresh weaponry and gear. Players with the Warlords of New York DLC and Year 1 Pass benefit from an expanded inventory with 50 additional slots. Standout items include the exotic SMG Oxpecker and the tactical Exodus gloves. New brands, Refactor and Shiny Monkey, bring innovative gear options to the table, while named weapons like the Rusty Classic RPK-74 and Goalie FAL provide unique talents that enable players to fine-tune their builds. Available across all platforms, Ubisoft is keen to gather player feedback to shape and enhance future updates.
