There will now be 3 Dark Zones 1 PVE & 2 PVP for Season 2. #TheDivision2
DARK ZONES & PvP UPDATE
Year 8 Season 2 brings a new structure to the Dark Zone, with the three existing maps rotating between different rulesets.
Each ruleset is built around a different type of experience: the seasonal PvE loop, a more even PvP environment, or the traditional Dark Zone risk-versus-reward gameplay.
PVE DARK ZONE
The PvE Dark Zone is a Year 8 Season 2-specific feature directly connected to the Cleaning up the Streets Global Modifier.
This version of the Dark Zone is designed for those who want to experience the space without the same PvP pressure. Rogue protocol is completely deactivated and damage between players is disabled. Agents are deployed into a highly contaminated environment not to fight each other, but to work together as a unified front.
Normalization is active, while SHD Watch and Expertise progression remain fully functional to help you deal with the threats inside.
It is still a shared area for up to 12 Agents that is meant to feel tense and unpredictable. This time, that tension comes from the environment and enemies, including Hyenas under the effects of Potent Spice, which makes them even stronger and more lethal.
What to expect:
Toxicity covers the entire zone applying hazardous effects.
You will be able to team up with others while you are there. The official party system is supported, and you can invite other Agents to group up.
This Dark Zone becomes one of the main places to recover Sample Cannisters, a new seasonal resource tied to the Hyenas’ activity. They can be found from Landmark chests, material chests, Hyenas, and, at a reduced drop rate, other enemy factions.
Toxicity
Toxicity is a new pressure mechanic that starts building once you enter the area. Certain Hostile Modifiers can also increase it in different ways, so the longer you stay and the more encounters you take on, the more dangerous the area becomes.
As Toxicity rises, you will be affected by cumulative debuffs. To reduce it, you can activate a Surged Active Modifier. To clear it fully you can enter the safe house or a check point, or leave the Dark Zone completely.
NORMALIZED PVP DARK ZONE
The Normalized PvP Dark Zone is a new ruleset built for those who want a more competitive PvP experience with fewer progression-based advantages.
Normalization is active, while SHD Watch Power and Expertise Power are disabled. Everyone enters on a more even playing field, where your tactical decisions and aim carry more weight.
What to expect:
High-stakes economy. To make this zone more rewarding for competitive agents, breaking down dropped contaminated items grants a 200% DZ Coin bonus.
STANDARD DARK ZONE
This zone functions as the traditional Dark Zone that Agents already know. It’s the “middle ground” for those who want the traditional risk-versus-reward loop.
Normalization remains active here, but SHD Watch and Expertise progression still count toward your power.
What to expect:
Standard Rogue mechanics and periodic Invasions are active.
Exo Experts highlights include:
Primary:
SMG-203 Gallant - a submachine gun with a high rate of fire
Secondary:
P-33 Missile Pistol - guided, heat-propelled rounds
Stratagems:
EXO-51 Lumberer - equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower
EXO-55 Breakthrough - brandishing a flak cannon and a ballistics shield
MGX-42 Bullet Storm - a disposable machine gun sporting caseless ammunition in multiple barrels
Armor Sets:
O-2 Heavy Operator - heavy armor
O-3 Free Spirit - light armor
These new armors come stock standard with the Oxygenator perk allowing you to walk, run and slide slightly quicker (within Super Earth Health and Safety guidelines).
