This seasonal twist fits right into the game's narrative of desperate survival, where rogue tech like these Mini Warhounds could tip the balance in the fight to save the capital. Players spot these pint-sized enemies roaming D.C., and taking them down unlocks bounties against their master, The Houndsman—a new boss that demands tactical cover use and quick reflexes to dismantle his pack.
New Enemies Reshape Open-World Tactics
The Mini Warhounds aren't just fodder; they force you to adapt your loadout for fast-moving targets that can flank your position in seconds. Defeating them grants access to Houndsman Bounties, which drop caches with gear pieces. During the first week (October 21-27, 2025), these caches guaranteed parts of the full Houndsman Outfit, blending seamlessly with the game's sci-fi apocalypse aesthetic and offering agents a way to visually embody the hound-hunting role in D.C.'s fractured society.
What Rewards Can You Still Grab Before November 11?
As the event enters its final days ending November 11, 2025, the focus shifts to a Project Chain that started October 28. Completing all seven tasks earns the Sinister Shade Outfit and the Named Weapon 'Quickstep'—a high-mobility SMG that enhances evasion builds, letting you dart between cover while suppressing enemies. This weapon could redefine close-quarters combat in PvE missions, especially against clustered foes in the Dark Zones.
How Does This Event Tie Into Division 2's Lore?
In a world where Division agents are the last line against anarchy, events like this deepen the immersion by introducing experimental Black Tusk tech gone wild. It expands the lore of engineered threats, encouraging players to explore how these hounds might connect to larger conspiracies rumbling in the Capitol. If you're grinding for that perfect build, this is your chance to stock up on unique cosmetics and weapons that reflect the ongoing battle for humanity's future.
Jump in before November 11, 2025, to claim what's left—these rewards won't stick around, mirroring the fleeting stability in D.C.'s ruins.
