The Hunters reappear in the Division 2 as the 'Unknown'. Hunters are encountered in the Underground, Survival and Resistance.

Who the Hunters are, who leads them, and their final goals are as of now unknown. While not part of any of the previous factions, the fact that Hunters have not only hunted down previous agents but have not been encountered before means that there are several pieces of information that have slipped through the net in the chaos since the outbreak of the Dollar Flu. Equipped with Division-quality gear and capable of fighting on the same level as the agents they hunt, they are distinguished by their absolute silence, their distinctive ballistic armor, and most disturbingly their 'trophies the seized SHD watches taken from dead Division agents. Through the course of the night the agents encounter several enemy forces, though by the time they reach extraction they come face to face with a previously unknown enemy force known only as 'Hunters'. Scrambling out of the wreckage, the player is left at the mercy of the elements, and must scavenge what they need to make it through the night. This proves to be a fatal decision, as the helicopter transporting the agents inside crash lands and leaves the agents stranded inside the dark zone during a blinding snowstorm.

Plus, I also enjoyed the third-person perspectives that felt very video-game-like.The Second Wave receives intelligence that there is possibly a cure for the Dollar Flu somewhere in the Dark Zone. It was an interesting effect or a filter that felt like an homage to the game, which I didn’t seem to mind. Sometimes, the people really did look like a part of the game, and other times when I saw their faces, I realized it was a person. You can check out the episode 'Ashes' from the web series, including the short's opening scene, below.ĭuring the movie, I felt myself struggling to differentiate between live-action and video game. It was a remarkably moving and jarring opening scene to set the brutal tone of the world in which these people now inhabit. Even though, pulling from prior experience with apocalypse movies, I knew exactly where this was headed, I still jumped and winced at the sudden bullets that tore through their bodies they were so loud and powerful and horrifying. They are approached by a man in a mask, who begins asking them questions.

The film opens with a scene of two survivors, maybe husband and wife, understandably confused about the lack of human existence in New York City.
