Hunters (Tom Clancy's The Division)

Hunters are an enemy faction in Ubisoft video game Tom Clancy's The Division. Little is known about them, save that they're possibly the single most dangerous threat found in the Dark Zone.

The Second Wave receives intelligence that there is possibly a cure for the Dollar Flu somewhere in the Dark Zone. Despite an oncoming winter storm and the low probability that there actually is a cure, Second Wave leader Faye Lau decides it is a risk worth taking and sends in agents to find the suspected cure.

This proves to be a fatal decision, as the helicopter transporting the agents inside crash lands and leaves the agents stranded inside the dark zone during a blinding snowstorm. Scrambling out of the wreckage, the player is left at the mercy of the elements, and must scavenge what they need to make it through the night.

Through the course of the night the agents encounter several enemy forces, though by the time they reach extraction they come face to face with a previously unknown enemy force known only as "Hunters". Equipped with Division-quality gear and capable of fighting on the same level as the agents they hunt, they are distinguished by their absolute silence, their distinctive ballistic armor, and most disturbingly their "trophies; the seized SHD watches taken from dead Division agents.

While not part of any of the previous factions, the fact that Hunters have not only hunted down previous agents but have not been encountered before means that there are several pieces of information that have slipped through the net in the chaos since the outbreak of the Dollar Flu. Who the Hunters are, who leads them, and their final goals are as of now unknown.

Hunters are encountered in the game's Survival mode only.
