The Story Behind Manhunt Season 3 || Lore || The Division 2

Time and time again, the Black Tusk have been hindering the Strategic Homeland Division’s attempts at regaining control of the nation's capital.
So it’s finally time to remove the BTSU leader from the equation....
But, why does he suddenly have a bunch of ex-division agents working with him?
...and what was with that bloody Hunter that kept smacking me in the back of the head, while my back was turned???

[@Aristocratic13]

He might be dead

[@EmporerAaron]

That was a nice twist how the hunter "conversed" with him. Its got to be prove that the hunters and Black Tusk are connected or atleast work with each other. The hunters could have been Black Tusk way of weakening the Division in the early days before revealing themselves. You said it yourself in The Division 2 its more us tracking down and hunting the hunters unlike the first game where they were hunting us. The hunters were probably told the same orders to back off the Division for a while like the BTSU. Solokov could be the CEO of the company mentioned in the game, which means likely very wealthy and connected across the world which supports the idea the backers behind Black Tusk could be a shadowy organization of wealthy and connected individuals across the world. People who are well connected, wealthy, and have the pull would probably be the only ones who could organize and pull of something like this.

[@Aristocratic13]

From how Natalya was talking it seems like the Hunter was hired

[@EmporerAaron]

@@Aristocratic13 Its hard to imagine that thing being hired. The way it laughed manically, slaughtered those Rikers, had a sense of humor of rising from the grave and everything. Part of me thinks this is scifi thinking right here but they are either engineered or conditioned soldiers stripping away anything human and made solely to carry out their purpose of hunting down Division agents.

[@TheMadHatty]

I think it sets up for the hunters to be from another country like Russia. I think Natalia based off of her name is clearly connected to the family that made the military gear that is one of the brands that division uses. And I think we're going to find out that Bardon has been suspect of Faye for a while especially when she went quiet on the comms to him.

[@CCM1199]

I thinks so too. Sokolov concern brand set

[@FatalFist]

Well if the leaks told us anything, and they detailed these past manhunts well before their launch (Hornet and Bardon), Faye is next and she’ll kill Ellis.

I don’t even see why he bothered with half of them? I mean the True Sons are trained soldiers, who’s goals could align with the Black Tusk, and the Rykers are more manageable and structured than most factions (they were even creating their own economy with minted currency and everything); but the Hyenas are too unorganized and reckless, and the Outcast’s whole purpose is making everyone else suffer. Why did Lau recommend these agents to begin with? Didn’t the Rykers kill her sister?

Say whatever you say but Shaffer is a real class ass and a smooth professional. I like him better than any Division agents. He's even Better than Keaner. It's a shame that they couldn't make him more difficult and complex target. He was so easy to fight. Not that i expect a hardcore fighter like his crazy Hunter of course, but i expected a more cunning and a complex fighter. He just stand there and talk, sent one or two skills only and a bunch of grenades. He didin't even use any jammer or something. He called us bullet sponge but he was the actual bullet sponge. And i am glad to hear that he is not dead. I didn't notice that. Thank you for another great video. Always keep looking forward for your videos.

[@Aristocratic13]

Lots of people in the community like him for some reason

[@omegalegion1769]

I can imagine a hunter walking up behind and slapping you to the back of your head then vanish. Honestly I think the hunters are special forces for hire or people who are under the philip protocol. Im more on the protocol side of things. I also believe that Natalia is a business consultant for a higher up PMC that above the BTSU. im having a Mr. ROBOT vibes from her I hope you make more vids so I can make lore theories

[@matthiasneidenberger9471]

Honestly I could see the Black Tusk working with the True sons and Rikers: both are surprisingly well trained, and provide some form of structure (the Rikers were basically building their own economy with minted currency and everything); but the outcasts and Hyenas are less organized and are anarchists who’s goal is to make life worse for everyone else, not necessarily the kind of people you’d pick to rebuild society.

[@Coolmusicplaylist]

Belfry voice has been used for 2 other rogues such as Mercury and Titan like damn. Same for Alicia's. But Shade is pretty good and I like Wraith

[@MattCollectorControl]

The hunters are too densely secreted to just be special assassins for Black Tusk. But Sokolova is definitely linked to them in some way. There was an idea that the hunters are fallen agents who have been brainwashed and mentally simplified by shock therapy to be obedient to one person. A shadow hand to handle situations with a deft touch. Sokolova could be their handler. A force kept separate from Black Tusk as a backup for if the BTSU ultimately fails. The Agent Edward's hunter could have been undergoing a combat evaluation for Sokolova by attacking us in that building all that time ago. The locations of the other hunters could really be seen as assigned safe spots to go dark until called upon by Natalia. The fact the hunter attacked the Rikers was probably to lull the agent and remove a nuisance for Shaeffer.

[@NGN]

I actually quite like this theory. Thank you for taking the time to explain it!

[@AgentLeonDeputyAmaral]

Sounds like Winter Soldier to me

[@user-Jay178]

I can see why they would go rouge. At this point the government is dead and tge shd is now outnumbered. Great video

[@orrthehunter]

These people were not mentally stable to begin with and their lack of understanding with managing resources and etc is even worse since they only survive by stealing from each other or the settlements. These Rogue only survived because the Black Tusks allowed them to survive and if left alone they would have runned out of resources to support their faction while the Settlements that the Player Division Agent helped still maintain a proper supply of food, ammo, medical, and etc supplies thank to their self sustaining farms, portable power sources for electricity, and etc. not to mention their mentality focused too much on the old government that we can say no longer exists or just finally embracing their darker but true nature they kept hidden from society because there is no longer society to hide it from. They ignore what is right in front of them now being a new society being built by the survives of the outbreak in the settlements for a better future than the old one before the outbreak.

[@tylerwebster3127]

based on season 3 comms it sounds like black tusk's employers are tired of their failures and decided to recruit rogue agents into black tusk and Bardon Schaeffer thinks that it's a bad idea

[@ItsDobbie]

I can’t imagine ALL of the Hunters are working for Black Tusk. I think it’s far more likely that this Hunter in particular was offered a deal. He does Schaefer’s dirty work tying up loose ends, neutralizing the rogue agents he was working with, and in return, the Hunter was promised some new hardware, the shrapnel trap. Also, this is the only hunter so far who doesn’t have a ballistic mask. That could be used to signify that he wasn’t liked by the other Hunters, possibly because they knew of his dealings with their enemies. Something else I find odd is when Schaefer talks to him, you can hear the Hunter respond with like some weird inaudible mechanical noise.

[@jet2550]

I like to believe the Hunters have different sub-factions, where they have Hunters that betrayed them, Loyal Hunters and Rogue Hunters, sort of like Demon, as he doesn’t kill you on your first encounter with him

[@AmericanBoy-si9zg]

I'm glad I got Bardon but the Hunter is still out there in my game.

[@fiezerpyro9036]

after this season I'm starting to believe the hunters are mercs, speculating they are a private american military unit and Natalya is russian, since they do have that ranking tattoo and are working with The BT (black tusk) or maybe something other than the BT, since when she talks to Schaeffer she said "they wanted BT to colaborate with the government", which makes me think these are 2 groups working together, maybe the russian government is the one handling the BT or atleast something from there.

[@ssweetsniper7781]

Wraith was probably the most memorable non-primary target yet imo

[@ATFprdepartment]

With how good Natalia’s English was and lacking a thick accent, I think we’ll find that the Sokolova family helps fund the BTSU with their weapons company(ies) “Sokolov Concern” and possibly more However I think this particular Hunter is an outlier, and doesn’t represent all hunters, I stick with the notion that they’re part of a Third Wave “cleanup crew” of some sorts

I also think Hunters might be remnants of Bardon’s old team who took up a hobby in collecting Agent Watches.... makes sense, Bardon told the Black Tusk co-leader he already had a team and was then told to find the baddest of the bad. Cutthroats and what not.

[@Ner0xci]

Thanks for keeping the TD2 lore videos coming ❤

[@discipleaj]

Great video, you definitely have the best Division lore channel on KZbin. 👍🏻 I still think the Hunters are a highly specialised (unique), dedicated PMC type group, working for a much more secret and higher power. Not even The Division or Black Tusk has better tech or training than they do. This hidden power has its assets in multiple nations of most influence and that this is all just part of the plan. I always wondered why Gordon Amherst did what he did in the story. There's crazy and then there's *crazy*. He had his crazy beliefs in evolution but he must have had an overseer that aided him in completing his work instead of him just being a lone wolf. There's no way he could have outsmarted so many layers of security and precautions put in place to stop this from happening unless he had hidden help, someone or most likely, a group, with intimate understanding of how society across the globe is structured and how to move the pieces into place to destroy it so that it can be rebuilt into a new world order. I say that because even the most highly specialised agents and faction's in The Division plot, need help to get their jobs done, they can't get through everything. So it follows that Gordon Amherst was aided. If his cover was at risk or even blown, then a group like the Hunter's would have been hit-men to silence those who could have raised the alarm.

I may have stopped playing this game but that won't stop me from follow the lore through NGN and Mastermind HD. That aside, I am glad Bardon Schaeffer lived. He is one of the more interesting characters in the game and who knows, he may even get a redemption arc once he finds out how the client the Black Tusks is working for is behind everything and been playing both sides of this conflict. He may have some guess about the Black Tusk's client part in the green poison outbreak but you can only guess just how angry he may get if he finds out the Client is also behind setting up the Division to be full of these crazy people. He may even start considering the Client no different from the old US government or maybe far worse.

nice video. still need to replay the manhunt mission for the remaining comms. the taking Schaffaer prisoner part will probably be part of the next manhunt's story, or even Div3's. if the leaks are true, and Faye is the next target, it will be an interesting manhunt, plot wise.

I hope the hunters aren't directly tied to anyone, and are like bounty hunters. Just extremely high skilled guns for higher, just hard to get in contact with. Perhaps sokolova just knows how to get in contact with them. It would still keep them mysterious. I really dislike the Russian theory. It seems every major bad guy, or organization in spy/ agency themed forms of entertainment is always Russian, its a cliche I really don't want the hunters to become. I also hope Schaeffer doesn't die, he's the only character I actually like in this franchise, other than maybe keener.

[@eliterusher1649]

I agree I wouldn't be surprised if the hunters are another type of PMC or mercenary faction that work for the highest bidder. It would make sense since the black tusk and the hunters are working under the same employers and it wouldn't be uncommon for employers to use multiple pmcs or hired guns in unison. Also something tells me the hunters maybe connected to the white tusk and possibly the white tusks.branch maybe under the control of Natalya. Just a theory tho Edit: the reason I talk about the white tusk is because they are mostly former lmb and they are shown in resistance dlc in dv1 to be one of the main factions to work with the hunters (I also think hunters are sometimes found in dv1 legendary missions too as random encounters, similar to rogue ones).

Wraith is the one creepy person who sounds like a kid, but won’t blink when comes to hurting or killing. Sucks to be those working with her though...

Damn my college day just got better

[@ramsesa.diaz-arellano9153]

Love your lore videos always helps when i don't understand something, but I'm curious what's your build

[@NGN]

I call it my "lazy build" 😆 Its basically just a full skill power build, with focus into skill damage.

[@richardkim3652]

Hunters are either like Alpha Spetsnaz from Russia or former Delta units or Seal team 6 operators...

[@kodaiyoung]

Good Job.

[@AnonYmous-dh2zt]

Definitely my favourite manhunt

[@snowfox4704]

Had this been a real Hunter, tech builds would be rendered absolutely useless. Calling that the Hunters are mercenaries, either former Rogue Agents, or Russian SHD-Equivalents that are for hire by the BTSU.

[@OGTKCole]

We definitely need you to make another "Speculation" video. Man Hunt Season 3 is starting to put the pieces together. It isnt a coincidence that Vitaly Tchernenko and Natalya Sokolova are both Russian. Its also obvious from Natalya Sokolova inner-action with Bardon Schaeffer that she and the people she works for is behind the Hunters. Im also thinking her or her people also are behind the Brand Set Sokolov Concern. This is all speculation, but I just have this funny feeling a lot of my speculation is right. As always great video NGN, please keep them coming.

[@Aristocratic13]

But Natalya has a piss poor accent if she’s Russian

[@OGTKCole]

@@Aristocratic13 So you have to have a Russian Accent to be Russian?? With your thinking the Russian KGB Operatives would have never Infiltrated the CIA during the Cold War. Kind sir it wouldnt be hard for her to learn an American English Accent.

[@Aristocratic13]

@@OGTKCole All I said is her accent is poor and if you follow Tom Clancy novels besides his game. He heavily use Russians in some type of way. And a lot of times they are written with that strong Russian accent. As for everything else you said.. I didn’t imply none of that

[@OGTKCole]

@@Aristocratic13 Im pretty sure Im a little older than you... I say that to say, I have read every Tom Clancy Novel in existence, and have even seen all the movies. Not trying to debate you here, but im trying to get you to see, maybe Shafer doesnt even know who she really is.

[@Aristocratic13]

@@OGTKCole Get me To see what? I’m a 90s kid btw. Idk how age relates here?? Even a teenager now can cover all his books if he or she wants to.

sweet just gat my snacks my drinks new video time to forget the world and relax for 20 minutes

[@Weber408]

I like these manhunt summaries. Though I don't do them cause skill not worth it for me. Other I do when I'm after loot. Overall I think it fascinating and that it's the environment against a player. Or the fourth wall breaking.

[@TheGreyWolf93]

Sad I missed this season but I'm glad to be here for the last season

[@VoidRemoma]

How you know it's final season?

[@TheGreyWolf93]

@@VoidRemoma well I'm sure there will be more updates and bounties after we get you know who. But I'm just guessing honestly , as I play it now compared to the beginning I feel the time is coming to a close when it comes to the Division story. D3 will carry the lantern if you will More bounties, updates, and most likely a season 5 to warm up to the new game..but what do I know, we haven't seen anything from Ubisoft about it..maybe around farcry6 time we'll know more

[@TheGreyWolf93]

It would be a perfect time to release a division 3 honestly Ubisoft

[@VoidRemoma]

@@TheGreyWolf93 Yeah I mean, the fact that they cancelled the event and replaced it with appearel event could both mean they are saving resources for div 3, but also that there's a global pandemic rn which is probably halting develoment of most games. I do agree with you that a div 3 is probably coming, but I don't think that this is the last season. Also yeah, the fact that they called this season the last watch is kind of suspicious.. I personally think we will get div 3 announcement somewhere in q3 or q4 of 2021

[@foxdragon2967]

I managed to kill the hunter while going after Dusk. Stun lock with 3 riot foams and full Sweet Dreams to that face mask did the trick. I tried to repeat that trick while after belfry but he vanished. still I LOVE that the Hunters are finally in a story mission, they are so much fun to fight.

[@NGN]

Yeah I managed to kill him a couple of times before he vanished, using the shock trap. I know it wasn't intended for us to kill them, but it was a fun challenge!

[@xanethestrange7659]

I missed out on the season 1-3 glad I'm able to hunt down lau.

[@bluegryphon]

I remember doing the final mission on coney island with another agent and how *slowly* we moved through the haunted house section since we were terrified of being jumped by the hunter. There's something about knowing there's a hunter nearby that just puts the fear of God in me

[@MattGoesSplat]

Would love another speculation video! Just saying 😁

[@carlgraham9526]

I wonder, would a division agent be classified as rouge, if they just abandoned the division and settled down in one of the settlements

[@kakarrot5115]

That's a good question

[@Resiloreid]

They would. IIRC, there's a com item between 2 Agents that tells the story about one Agent abandoning his mission to go home to his place, make sure his folks are safe, but that would risk his Wristwatch turning red. If I remembered Correctly.

[@carlgraham9526]

@@Resiloreid sucks for agents but makes logical sense, we all know what a rouge can do

[@CCM1199]

Natalia Sokolova happens to be the daughter of Sokolov (Sokolov Concern Brand set). She was the one that was in charge and calling the shots long before the BTSU even came to play. However, I now think that she will be the one to call the shot on killing president ellis and actually getting us blamed for the killing thus being casted as rogues. it is then that we will get more in depth into the hunters and where they came from and whose been hiring them.
