True Sons Vs LMB || Story / Lore || The Division 2

The Last Man Battalion have long since disbanded, after the death of their leader, Charles Bliss.
Some of the LMB soldiers joined with other organizations like the Rikers and Cleaners, some even joined the JTF.
But the bulk of their remaining forces were given the opportunity to take revenge on both the JTF and Division agents, and joined with the Black Tusk, creating a new branch in the BTSU.
But let's turn back the clock a few months, when the LMB were at their strongest....how would they fare against one of the most brutal Washington DC factions, the True Sons?

National Guard here. So I worked with the DC guard during the protest a few months back. They aren't well equipped because the state is actually a support unit in itself, yeah they have infantry and engineers but their main goal in a large scale activation is medical and admin support. Take those and pin them up against a PMC and you have a recipe for disaster, until you take in account the fact that either A. The true sons have the home team advantage OR neither has an advantage depending on if they are fighting in DC or NY, so I'd say if it was DC it would be True Sons just because of numbers, if it was NY it would be real close but most likely LMB because they have armor, air, and SHD tech.

[@MegaCityOne]

Rambo taught us all that the National Guard might not be ready for the smoke.

[@dirrrtydawg9772]

[@ATFprdepartment]

True Sons might even lose in DC too just based on the fact the LMB had more experienced leadership with history in combat zones. That and they might even do something even the Division never thought of: not attack the Capitol building from the front

[@MegaCityOne]

@@ATFprdepartment lol I never realized we always attached the front entrance. Except for tidal basin lol.

[@ATFprdepartment]

@@MegaCityOne yeah lmao it’s basically just charging straight at the mounted 30mil and artillery. Take the Capitol from the sides and they’d fold like origami, their biggest strength is the illusion of being powerful and their numbers, but behind it is inexperience and overconfidence. NGN even mentioned this as the True Sons rule by intimidation and aren’t used to people fighting back, that’s completely true and shows their true colors. Unfortunately the Division’s leadership has poor judgement (which I think is what led to the death of an agent at the hands of Coyote at Jefferson, that was a definitely Kelso’s bad call) led them to charge straight at the front door.

Not sure if u have these vids planned out but i would like to see this next Hyenas Vs Rikers Underground Vs Looters Barrets Rikers Vs Dragovs Rikers Conleys Cleaners Vs Ferros Cleaners Then maybe some other fun ones like JTF Vs Civilians

[@randomanimebslord536]

Hyenas vs Rikers - Hyenas would win in a high difficulty battle. Hyenas are armed by the BT so they can easily outgun the Rikers. Hyenas has better tech in general. Underground vs Looters - Underground wins easily due to better weapons, poison grenades, better archetypes. Barrets Rikers vs Dragov Rikers - Dragov Rikers win easily. Dragov Rikers survive 7 months after the outbreak so they are battle-hardened. They also have better tech and better archetypes. Conleys Cleaners vs Ferros Cleaners - Conley Cleaners win easily for the same reason as above. Idk about the JTF vs civilians tho but I guess I'll take the JTF since they are better trained in general compared to random civilians.

[@LowRes_Corgi56]

JTF be like: target rich environment

[@VERRATENMEMESANDCOD]

[@banditbones8713]

Always would like game that puts you in the shoes of another faction and have a story around how your faction survives and fights against others.

[@Vulf_Faolan]

I reckon there would be heavy casualties, but the LMB would probably win by a significant amount. Against Black Tusk's resources and numbers though, I can't see the LMB surviving. Especially given how the LMB seemingly wasn't able to recover after the death of their leader, whereas all the prominent Black Tusk members we've taken out has only seemed like a minor inconvenience to them.

[@Kurogumo]

True sons would take it with ease.

[@LowRes_Corgi56]

Divison agent: kills Black Tusk leader Black Tusk: oh no! Anyway

[@brawler5760]

And with how we’ve essentially taken Bardon Schaeffer away from them, you’d think the Black Tusk would crumble apart, but no they seem to be fine.

[@ThePhantomPhanto]

LMB has a weakness: 500 men. A closed number. Sure, they could have trained people from other groups, but how many? Surely not enough to double or let alone get to 1.5x We don't get any hint that would suggest how many the True Sons are, nor the Black Tusk.

@@BigHomieLeviathan Yes, when you do a stronghold on Legendary difficulty. I honestly think that the white tusk is made up of ex-LMB, given the fact that they are all wearing white, much like LMB did, they are using advanced technology more so than black tusk and are all at elite rank or named, making them experienced. Lore wise, the LMB were disbanded and infighting started. But others moved on and its possible black tusk recruited them for their elite unit.

You forgot to mention that the LMB also allowed others to join them, although they were alot more picky than the True Sons. In one of the found footages, we see a captured JTF soldier who joined the LMB in order to avoid execution.

[@babalu7737]

they took also cleaner but mostly because ther wher enginers for normal stuff and some rikers because some of them wher capabel gun men like some cleaner who just needed the right training

[@OGTKCole]

This is a very close one, but on paper The Last Man Battalion should win the fight. But in War things dont always go according to plan. I think the True Sons could be a worthy enemy, because they have more people on their side. Great video as always.

[@arcanesoothsayer6758]

The LMB would smoke the True Sons any day

[@godemperorforever]

LMB hands down

[@matthiasneidenberger9471]

One thing that also separates the True sons and the LMB is their leadership: Ridgeway, like Bliss, cared about his men and definitely was a good leader but he was also too arrogant in his approach. He even dismissed the idea of letting the other factions kill themselves as cowardly even though it would’ve left the JTF and SHD weakened and vulnerable to their overwhelming numbers. Bliss on the other hand was equally ambitious and did stay and fight the division when he should’ve fled, but he was about efficiency, and expressed the importance of preserving their numbers, so if presented with the same solution, he’d probably take it and save his resources for a swift and decisive victory. All in all, bliss wouldn’t make the same mistakes as ridgeway. He’d have more of his resources dedicated to his defenses, keeping his men safe as they let everyone kill off each other, including the true sons; then, he would’ve taken his highly-trained soldiers and finished them off.

[@crustyroach6921]

[@drifter61]

[@leon-wx1co]

I always like the lmb and I knew they were better because like you said they already were in war zones before the outbreak and from the commons in div 1 bliss knew people would panic and act stupid and endanger others while the true suns only had national guard which many of them have never even seen combat until the outbreak.

Brazilian here, I love this PMC dos Heirs faction so much, that I didn't think twice when choosing the name of my clan, I've been a HERDEIROS team since 2020, when I had my contact with The Division 2

[@Doc-Holliday1776]

Awesome man, its like we are living it when you talk about it.

[@discipleaj]

Great video 👍🏻. I'm going to be that guy; but I still think the LMB beats Black Tusk also. From my take on things, loyalty and discipline is actually a problem within the Black Tusk... They seem that their members will only stay in line until they get a little bit too annoyed. If the option to abscond to a better way presents itself, then their members will take them. The LMB really do 'fight to the last man' (anyone who got that in-game arm patch will know what I mean) and they will only break from the structure when the structure has collapsed - they are far more loyal as their ethos is built around it (more regimented in that sense like a proper army unit). Even then, when the remaining enemies regrouped at the harbour in NYC, the LMB were clearly running the show with all the other factions falling in line for their own survival. LMB members only joined Black Tusk when there was no more LMB structure at all. Whereas we've observed more in-fighting, bickering and operatives working their own angles all within the Black Tusk; they have a discipline problem. They're run like a multi-national corporation it seems, where people will only stay so long as it suits them. There would be those who would stay until the lights go out but they would be fewer in number. This is not the case with the LMB who are run like a proper military unit. Charles Bliss knew how to get the best from his men and women. Furthermore, if the LMB can re-engineer and re-purpose SHD tech, then they can do so with any (minimal) tech advantage that the Black Tusk may bring. Hope my rationale makes sense as I don't think it's too far fetched. Keep up the great content! ⚔️
