The Division 2 is soon going to have raids, and this has excited a lot of players. According to the data miners who looked into the files of the games, we now have the information about the first raid in the game. The raid is known as Operation Dark Hours, and it is an eight-player activity. One Reddit user namely, kevindavid40 has revealed that the raid will start at the Ronald Reagan airport.
In the game files, it is listed that Arlington Island is a destination and Arlington Memorial Bridge is an access point on the map. The players will start the raid at the airport, and then they will move across the bridge, and they will end at Arlington. The objectives of the raid have also been revealed. But, we don’t know how they will appear chronologically:
-Survive the assault on the bridge
-Find the stolen GPS coordinates
-Protect the named agent on your team
-Confirm the kill of 2nd hand Lieutenant
-Rendezvous with your team
-Survive the blackout attack
-Find the activation code
-Extract your team to safety
-Split teams and flank the target
-Stop the convoy from leaving the runway
-Takeout bombardiers from high ground
Along with the objectives, there are four trophies/achievements which are attached to the raid. These trophies give a better idea of what the raid is about and its encounters:
Relentless: Make it through the bridge in one hour or less
Extreme Measures – Have your most kills with Signature weapons
Reminder of Me – Kill any of the Hunters who killed you before
Gone Baby Gone – In less than 2 minutes flee from Interceptors
Release Date:
The release date of Operation Dark Hours is currently unknown (confirmed release date at the end of the article). This will be the first of the several raids that will take place in Division 2 in the first year. The players will be hoping that they will get a proper raid experience this time.

Well, every single gamer was excited to get the update, which would include the first raid of The Division 2. However, it did not happen, and people are wondering why it did not. I have the answer, and it is Massive Entertainment’s uncertainty over the new update. They are planning to drop an update in May 2019 which is called Title Update 3, and they believe that the first raid should also be released with it. They would ensure that Operation Dark Hours comes with the best combination possible so that everyone can enjoy it without any problem. Therefore, we will have to wait till May to see the first ever raid.
