The people at the Bridge settlement have rebuilt well after the hurricane that hit New York in the last expansion. However they still need protection and that's where you along with characters like Theo Parnell Agent Hoskins and Dr. Jessica Kandel come in.

In the Battle of Brooklyn your main enemies are the Cleaners. They have created a powerful weapon that some players will recognize from the Paradise Lost Incursion mission. Now with the power of the Purple Flame they can unleash powerful fiery attacks that cause a new effect called corrosion. This slowly reduces your maximum armor over time meaning the longer you fight the less armor you will have to restore.

The Smart Cover from The Division 1 is back but with a new twist. You can choose between two options: Precision or Fortified. Precision boosts weapon handling damage and auto reloads your guns when you switch weapons. Fortified gives you extra armor resistances and makes you immune to being staggered.

During the reveal stream for Battle of Brooklyn creative director Yannick Banchereau mentioned that the new DLC will offer fans around six to ten hours of playtime. so it is not too long. There is still a lot to enjoy, including four new Control Points 12 overworld activities eight Hunter Riddles ten bounty locations and a new set of collectible bounties. We also now know when this delayed expansion will be released.

The Division 2 Battle for Brooklyn DLC will be released on Tuesday May 27. The showcase also revealed updates for Year 7 which will focus on making the game easier for new players improving the endgame and adding more seasonal content.
