In The Division 2 the first raid “Operation: Dark Hours” was completed for the first time after just over 5 hours. In the race for the World-First title, a well-known expert and his team triumphed.
Here’s how long the best agents needed for the raid: Yesterday, on May 16, the starting signal for the new raid “Operation: Dark Hours” was given promptly at 6:00 PM. Numerous agents dived into this new top activity for eight players. Notable names included the Redeem clan, which has amassed numerous World-First titles in Destiny 2.
After about 5 hours and 2 minutes, at 11:10 PM our time, it happened. The first team had finally cracked the raid of The Division 2.
Who claimed World First? The World-First title, and thus also a cool commemoration in the game, was claimed by the POG clan (Positive Gamers) – led by the well-known YouTuber and Division expert MarcoStyle.
This was confirmed, among others, by a game designer from The Division 2. The team will now be honored with a special picture visible to all agents in the White House of The Division 2.
This is how the raid went: Without spoiling too much: The team fought through several boss encounters at the airport in Washington D.C. until they finally faced the final boss on the runway.
However, they struggled for a long time there. More than three of the total over five hours were spent on the last phase of the raids. Finally, they defeated the last boss – and that with only seven active players.
“Never in my life was that World First,” MarcoStyle said just before checking the leaderboards. But then it was official. He and his team actually secured first place in the race for the World-First title after 5 grueling hours. Nearly 15,000 watched them during the stream.
Just five minutes later, the second team already completed the raid, so the race was relatively close.
This is what the happy winner says about the raid: MarcoStyle was noticeably pleased with the raid. In his stream he said: “Ubisoft, if you are watching: More of this! It was so much more than I expected. Good fucking job, Guys!”
Later, he expressed his enthusiasm for the new raid content on Twitter.
There he said: “To Massive, Red Storm, and whoever else worked on this raid – this is the best content Division has ever seen. I really hope that future PvE content goes in this direction because that’s what makes the game cool and interesting!”

This caused discussions even before the launch: The raid launch was already accompanied by controversial discussions. Even now, the debates continue. Because contrary to the expectations of numerous players and the previous communication, the raid came without matchmaking.
Currently, the developers are working on finding a better solution for those seeking additional raid players without having to rely on external means.
Have you already tried the raid? What do you think so far of this activity?
