The Broken Rain Incursion is The Division 2<\/a>‘s Incursion added in August 2026: a free, four-player endgame PvE fight against the Rikers at a dam and power plant in rural Pennsylvania, open to any level 40 agent through matchmaking. Below is what Ubisoft’s own posts say about who can queue it, what the full reward list actually includes, and the exact weekly rule that limits how often each of your characters gets a real shot at its signature exotic rifle.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" TL;DR<\/p>\n Incursions are Ubisoft’s term for The Division 2’s toughest repeatable PvE content: four-player endgame<\/a> challenges built around new bosses, a puzzle-style mechanic unique to the event, a new exotic weapon, and a set of completion rewards. <\/span>Broken Rain is described by Ubisoft<\/a> as free to play for everyone who owns the game and has reached level 40, and it’s available for matchmaking rather than requiring a premade squad. It’s set in rural Pennsylvania at the Steel Creek Dam and the Hydroelectric Power Plant, a site the Rikers have overrun, with Hurricane Morgan bearing down and threatening flooding if the dam isn’t secured in time. Your squad’s job is to breach the stronghold, take down the Riker leaders running it, and lock the dam down before the storm does the damage instead. It launched with Title Update Y8S2.3 on 11 August 2026 and now sits as permanent endgame content, playable on PlayStation, Xbox, GeForce NOW, and PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam, the Epic Games Store, or a Ubisoft+ subscription.<\/p>\n The reward Ubisoft leads with is Steel & Sons ACR<\/strong>, an Exotic Rifle exclusive to this Incursion, carrying the talent Confirm & Execute<\/strong>. Everything else on the list is cosmetic or tied to how cleanly you clear the run.<\/p>\n Warning<\/p>\n If you’re starting now or coming back after a break (see the returning player guide<\/a>), don’t chase the Golden Beaver or Silver Beaver launch patches \u2014 both windows ran in the days right after the 11 August 2026 launch and are closed. Ubisoft’s news post also lists a Bronze patch awarded by completion time; its condition is not spelled out in the two posts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ubisoft’s own posts don’t print numeric values for the talent, only that it exists on the rifle. Third-party breakdowns describe a stacking mechanic where body shots build up amplified damage on a single target and a headshot pays the stacks out at once, with separate, lower numbers for PvP \u2014 but the exact stack cap and percentages vary between sources, so treat any specific number you see for it as unconfirmed against Ubisoft’s own text.<\/p>\n Per the patch notes the rifle comes from two places: the completion chest (one roll per character per week) and boss drops on repeat runs, which the notes describe as unlimited within the week. Neither is a guaranteed drop.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"table","headers":[{"header_text":"Reward"},{"header_text":"How you get it"},{"header_text":"Note"}],"rows":[{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Steel & Sons ACR (Exotic Rifle)"},{"cell_text":"Chance from the final chest on a full clear, or from bosses on repeat runs"},{"cell_text":"Exclusive to Broken Rain"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Mask"},{"cell_text":"Flawless completion reward"},{"cell_text":"No specific damage-taken threshold published"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Backpack Trophy"},{"cell_text":"Flawless end-boss kill reward"},{"cell_text":"Tied to the final encounter specifically"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Golden Beaver + Silver Beaver Arm Patch"},{"cell_text":"Completed within the first 24 hours of the launch window"},{"cell_text":"Window closed 12 August 2026 \u2014 no longer obtainable"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Silver Beaver Arm Patch (alone)"},{"cell_text":"Completed within the first 7 days of launch"},{"cell_text":"Window closed 18 August 2026 \u2014 no longer obtainable"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Hidden beaver-themed reward"},{"cell_text":"Ubisoft only says to \"be on the lookout for beavers\""},{"cell_text":"Trigger not detailed in either official post"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Bronze Beaver Arm Patch"},{"cell_text":"Awarded based on how long the completion takes (Ubisoft News)"},{"cell_text":"Exact time condition not stated in the two official posts"}]}],"size":"default"},{"acf_fc_layout":"title","heading":"Weekly Loot Rules and Prototype Gear in Broken Rain","tag":"h2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" The rule that catches people out is the chest cap.

That’s a fair trade for content with no expansion gate behind it, but it also means there’s no way to brute-force the ACR into your inventory in a single night \u2014 the weekly reset sets the pace, not your gear score or how many times you’re willing to clear the dam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" This table separates what the studio has confirmed from what comes out of press previews, and what is still just circulating.
