The Division 2's Broken Rain update, Title Update Y8S2.3 (patch 2.32), went live on August 11. The headline is Broken Rain itself, the season's second Incursion, but there's a fair bit more bolted on around it.
Broken Rain
It's a four-player Incursion set at the Steel Creek Dam and its hydroelectric plant in rural Pennsylvania, where the Rikers have dug in ahead of Hurricane Morgan. You breach their fortifications, kill the leaders holding the stronghold, and secure the dam before the rising reservoir tears the place apart. Standard Division escalation, nice setting.
The loot
Two exotics are up for grabs. The Steel & Sons ACR is an Exotic Rifle exclusive to the Incursion, dropping either from the final chest on a full clear or from bosses on repeat runs. The Into the Dark Climax Mission also unlocks with the update, and beating it on Master difficulty for the first time hands you the Underboss exotic SMG, guaranteed. Details via MP1st.
PvP players get a bump too: drops across the Toxic, Classic and Balanced Dark Zones now roll at Heroic quality, with Elites and bosses in the Classic and Balanced zones carrying a 25% chance to spit out an extra item from a contaminated loot pool.
Watch the clock
The Broken Rain Event Pass runs August 11 to 25 with new JTF outfits. The cosmetic patches are on a timer: clear the Incursion in the first 24 hours for the Golden and Silver Beaver together, or within seven days for the Silver on its own. If you're reading this on launch-plus-a-day, the golden one may already be gone, which is a familiar Ubisoft way to reward people who booked the day off.
