What you need to know
Year 5 Season 3 Vanguardis finally upon us inThe Division 2, and besides the promised Project Resolve updates, new loot, and new events, story junkies have been wondering where the tale will take us next.
After defeating The Recruiter, aka Agent Johnson, at the end of the Season 2 Manhunt, focus is switching away from Washington D.C. and back to New York City. The target? Division agent, Alani Kelso.
That’s right, this season we’re chasing one of our own.
‘Hunting’ a fellow Division agent in Season 3
The Season 3 Manhunt is all about “trust.” But why are we chasing Kelso? Isn’t she on our side? If you missed any of the previous seasons, to recap some key points:
In this season’s Manhunt we won’t be locating individuals, instead retracing Kelso’s steps across the city as part of the investigation. Based on the knowledge that Hunters walk among agents, nothing is off the table, despite Manny’s continued, committed, trust in Kelso.
Given the name of the season, though, Vanguard, I’d wager that Aaron Keener (or his legacy) will potentially feature somewhere. After all, thatwashis call sign.
New Exotic weapons, gear sets, and more
Besides the new story content coming with the Manhunt, a new season means new exotics to acquire. As usual, there will be two, and this time we’re getting a pistol and some gloves.

Both of the talents attached to these new items are, well, interesting, and without trying them out I’m not exactly sure how they’d be of use in a build. But exotics are exotics, so we gotta get ‘em.
Additionally, there will be a new exotic rifle exclusive to Descent, known asVindicator.All of this is alongside a new gear set, a new brand set, and three new named weapons.
Project Resolveis also a big focus, but there’sa lotto go through. I suggest grabbing a beverage and rewatching thereveal streamat your leisure, or hit theblog postfor a written version.
