Our author Tarek recently went hunting for the Hunter masks in The Division 2. It turned out to be his best experience so far.
By now, I have spent several hours in The Division 2 and Washington D.C. I’m just shy of the gear score cap and am optimizing my builds rather half-heartedly, as World Tier 5 is coming soon.
For a change, I recently teamed up with a friend to search for Hunter masks. During this, I had what was probably my coolest moment in the game.
4 Hunters are not a problem!
We decided to get the Phantom, Diamond, Death, and Cross masks, as you can get 4 masks at once here, and the Phantom mask looks pretty cool.
But 4 masks also mean 4 Hunters. It will be fine. So we headed to the target location in the middle of the night and let the Hunters spawn.
They charged at us immediately and managed to ambush us. In the darkness, it was extremely difficult to pinpoint the location of those nasty bastards.
So we started again from the checkpoint nearby and wanted to get our revenge.
But in front of the checkpoint, we were initially stunned: A patrol of some enemy NPCs, I think they were Hyenas, also showed up and tangled the Hunters in a fight. And us as well.
But the Hunters immediately focused their attacks back on us when we were in sight. Those bastards still have a preference for Division agents.
The hunt for masks turned into a battle
Now we had to deal with both Hyenas and Hunters at once. We were pushed back to the checkpoint and that was the point where the fight really started.
Our allies from the checkpoint didn’t waste any time and also joined the fight. Now a battle erupted around the checkpoint, with us 2 Division agents, the Hunters, Hyenas, and the civilians.
In total, there were probably about 30 NPCs involved in the fight. That was a damn epic scene. Grenades were flying around, and intense skirmishes broke out at several locations.
One Hunter even charged directly into the checkpoint and killed civilians in close combat with his knife.
It was almost like a scene from a movie, and my buddy and I were right in the middle. For a few seconds, I just stood there in disbelief, watching the events unfold from cover.
Unfortunately, our allies suffered a few losses, but with combined forces, we took out the Hunters and Hyenas. All of this was not scripted and just emerged from the situation.
It was one of the best, if not the best moment I have ever experienced with my buddy in The Division 2, and it once again shows how dynamic the game world is.
We now wear the masks as trophies and reminders of this epic event.
Have you also had such moments? Let us know in the comments.
