The Story Behind Paradise Lost || Incursion || The Division 2

[@sdx3918]

I swear, Wright's bossfight and fighting style looks like something the outcasts would do rather than the cleaners. Imagine willingly setting yourself on fire that is so hot that bullets and shrapnel literally melt mid-air before reaching you. That level of madness is something you would expect only the outcasts would do and pull off.

[@SPƏ4R]

Maybe but not, Cleaners are quite organized for that kind of elaborate method, like way more than Outcasts or Hyenas. Even in Division 1 they were dangerous to confront. Plus the way Wright died was exaclty the same as Vivian Conley.

[@conchurfitzsimons570]

​@@SPƏ4R And take into consideration that the Outcast elite that sets themselves on fire is to run up and literally blow up in your face. Idc, because the Outcasts and Cleaners are my absolute favourite factions in the game

[@ineedzemedic5810]

I feel like the Hyenas would do this first before anyone else😭

[@maverick_cw]

Kind of feel bad for the Lovebirds now - first thought they were just some psychos; calling the drones their "babies" and such. Now I know they basically just wanted to retire and start a family...completely just feels bad. Also...Rogue Gold...such a great guy! So happy and thankful for him helping you get the comms for this great vid! A real credit to the community!

And this is why you’re the biggest name in the Division Universe Lore. You’re just too good brother. Awesome job!

Thanks man 😊

[@blameitonthedesign]

Division desperately needs a tv series. Animated or live action. I’d be fine with both. Too much of a repetitive grind for me to play the games however all the lore makes for a good series.

Your story telling and coverage of the lore is top notch. Been following your content for years, I wish I could donate to you man

Always find it funny how everyone was calling Wright a Hunter even after the encounter. Kelso even calls him just a Cleaner under all that armor. He was a glorified buff cleaner but just a tanky one.

MAAAAAAN! I was waiting for you to talk about this one! I love the story on Paradise Lost! Gets to show how manipulating and destructive Natalya's level of greed would go! She has no limits in domination! Great video! 😎✨✨✨

[@parunox1702]

This is the first time I hear a hunter can talk in a form of a cleaner means that this hunter program runs deeper than we imagined

[@NGN]

Other than the Recruiter you mean? 😉 I believe they ALL talk. They just don't as part of their cover.

[@parunox1702]

@@NGN McManus keeps a tight grip on the deeper side on the hunter program and the recruiter might be the key to unlocking it.

[@hawkeyes4768]

tyvm for this, to gather and put all of this together aint easy i been playing divion for forever but the story is in pieces so its hard to paste together

[@gamemaster27]

I think Wright was put in place to get the cleaners on board. Agent Johnson and Conley, were testing out the mobile SHD server in one of the descent comms. I am thinking if that is same Johnson or not. As for the hunters program, I think this goes much much deeper than we first thought about it. Cal is maybe planting his own agents in Black Tusk and other factions, including Hunters or Hunter-like status/abilities. And let's not forget about the comms with Mel Arnold. Manny is thinking the Mobile SHD Server has something to do with The Recruiter. I would not be surprised if Cal gave him access to these comms and more. Remember Cal, can hear and see everything that is going through the data that is collected from SHD/Rogue Watches.

[@Nothinggaming_.]

2:13 - 2:48 Just listened to the comms of season 1-4 (you can now collect them all with manhunt mission replays) and I think this comm here contradicts another comm, or it's just that Nat was lying to her brother. In the comms I listened to; Felix Sokolov, Nat's brother, believes that his father died 6 years ago, since the story is still in 2016 I assume his death is somewhere around 2009-2011. This means that either this comm takes sometime around 2010 (though I should add that in the comm Felix said he did not know/meet his sister until after the passing of his father and the start of Black Tusk), or that there is something more... You see in the comm Felix was talking to Lau, Lau expressed that she was suspicious about the circumstances/events but doesn't elaborate why and what she thinks of it (her timeline of events she finds suspicious "It's interesting, your father dies, she reconnects or connects with you. She inherits the company and builds this PMC, just seems like, never mind. I'm seeing conspiracies where they probably don't exist" - True Loyalties comm). Something doesn't line up or the comm is just before her father died, could also be a writing thing where they overlooked it.

[@exodus9941]

Not gonna lie, the incursion was DIFFICULT. Initially at least.

[@voltd393]

I really like the lore that has been coming up. After getting bored of the division, two for the past few seasons, I’ve recently gotten back into it again and redid my build for striker dps and some gear pieces to get me 10% armor repair on kill . The characters and story got me back into it. I think one person they really should get into the cast is Anthony Starr. He would make a good hunter commander if he can channel Homelander’s intensity and sociopathic tendencies.

Do you think agent Johnson from the man hunt and the rouge in the incursion are the same person? Iv been split on this since the season dropped cause one hand it cant be a coincidence that both of them have the exact same name and in the same season but on the other hand i dont think theres been any thing to really connect the two yet (other than them having the same name) this probably sounds dumb and the answer is probably right in front of me and i would like to hear your opinion on it

We'll find out very soon. The TAC-50 Agent Brian Johnson goes Rogue?! Interesting...

​@@BravoSierraIf that's true, what happened to Caleb Dunne and Heather Ward?

[@BravoSierra]

@@shdghost8872 Brian and other two, Agent Caleb Dunne the "Survivalist" and Agent Heather Ward the "Demolitionist" were protagonists in the Division 2 Prequel Comic "Extremis Malis" (strongly suggesting checking it out). The trio made a voice only appearance in the game at launch (in one of the East Mall Contaminated Zones) and nothing more. They do have in game models used for trailers but they never made apperances to us. In lore they were and are still active but we just never met them. For now.

[@chrisbaillie7813]

The more we meet the Hunters the more I think they were originally meant to be a support group for the agents until they turned against them. Being able to act without orders would make them a better asset than the division because they wouldn't have to wait before taking out potential threats

[@chrisbaillie7813]

Their weapons and skills are a little too similar to the division to them not to have been intended as a QRF/ support group in my opinion

[@is0latedplays453]

I really dont get the hunters now. At first it seemed like they were here to kill division agents. But then it seemed like they were eradicating the rogues. But then it seems like the hunters show a special interest in our agents. With the Mari Singh and recent manhunts, the hunters simply seem to let us go almost every single time.

[@rob5984]

Didn't we learn in an earlier season that Natalia grew up in Russia and didn't come to the US until after her father died? And now that's being re-written into her going to exclusive schools in the US with very wealthy folk a la Mackenzie Meret? Next thing we'll be hearing that it was actually her that was actually the Gossip Girl that Kristen Bell voiced in the TV show that made Blake Lively famous. But seriously, I'm sure you and I have been talking for ages about why someone that supposedly grew up in Russia and didn't come to the US until her father's death had an American accent. So the question is, was what we learning in the previous season false? Or has it been pushed into the area of Star Wars legends and is no longer canon replaced by the new, retconned and re-written history of Natalia Sokolova? That said, they REALLY don't seem to get on much, do they? And while I think we're meant to believe they may have gone to school together, there is a "Meret" skin, and has been for a few seasons, for the ACS-12 and Rock n' Roll shotgun. So I wonder if that means that the Meret parents made their money in the arms trade. Which would explain the connection to the Sokolovas. It might also suggest, given that we know that Nat was about to have everyone at MnM's estate killed and Mack herself dragged back to BTSU central by a pseudo Hunter, maybe the Sokolova family was more involved in the death of Mack's parents than has been currently let on. After all, the implication is certainly that Nat may have ordered her own brother's death, this despite the fact that a few seasons ago it seemed as though she was distraught over that death and used that as a motivation to fight the Division. Once again, much is not as it seems. Or they retconned. Obviously you did a few runs to capture the footage for the video, and was great that QD and team were able to help with that. That said, with her, Benji, and Lost you did have the dream team. We figured that the entire mission could be left to Lost while the healer focused on keeping you alive. Something like that anyway. But glad that you were able to connect with them to make this happen. As for the comms, I was reading that some of them may be glitched which is why we don't have them. I know that there are 5 that you pick up at different places in the mission. Then Wright apparently drops one the first time you kill him, and there are supposed to be 2 from the Lovebirds - one for when you kill Martinez first and one for when you kill Johnson first. There is also supposed to be one from Wright that drops when you complete that section in 3-4 rounds. Now I have done that a bunch of times with DFA and it hasn't dropped for me. Although I'm not completely certain which ones I'm missing as I am yet to find someone mapping out all the names and where they are. But, hopefully, if these are bugged then it's something that can be figured out so the rest of us can get the comms. That said, it does seem that people that were playing through early in the process have 10, while those of us who started later only seem to have 8/10. All that said, love the video, mate. Glad you were able to get the incursion done enough times to capture the footage for the video. Although apparently you weren't recording on those times when you needed that third skill slot for the permanently attached revive hive. 🤣

[@gaelbraem6928]

coms incursions ?

[@pyeitme508]

Wow

[@JHemp12]

I really liked this incursion because it explores settlements outside of DC, which is pretty awesome because it gives off a Walking Dead feel. I don't like this whole Natalya Sokolova storyline. For one, money is useless in this world so it's not as if she is paying the Black Tusks, so why are they following her and dying en mass for her? Is it just because she's hot? lol. She has no charisma though that could just be the voice actress who sounds so bland that I think they're using an ai for her lines. When the shit hits the fan, spoiled rich girl isn't going to be the person everyone rallies around and follows to their deaths. Imagine Paris Hilton running the Black Tusks lol.

[@Theoeckozuluwsky]

Money is useless, but that doesn't mean that everybody everywhere would abandon it. For people like Nat, money is the one thing that mattered above everything else. But honestly, it could also be just the amount of technology/supplies she has access to. Power draws the hungrier in.
