On Black Friday, a smallpox pandemic (transmitted by a virus planted onto banknotes,) sweeps Manhattan, causing the local branch of the United States Government to collapse in five days. Basic services fail and, without access to food or water, the city quickly descends into chaos. The player is part of the Strategic Homeland Division (SHD), or "The Division" for short—a classified stay-behind force of self-supported tactical agents. Leading seemingly ordinary lives, SHD agents are trained to operate independently of command when all else fails. This group is established to combat the threat brought about by the outbreak and are given direct authority by the President of the United States to do whatever it takes to prevent the fall of society, piece the city back together and "save what remains."


The player will encounter remnants of the New York City Police, Fire, and Emergency Responders and the New York National Guard, now known as the JTF (Joint Task Force,) who will help the player throughout the game. Enemies include the Rikers (formerly prisoners of Rikers Island,) bandits known as Rioters, The Cleaners (who are primarily former New York City Sanitation Workers hellbent on purging the disease,) and The Last Man Battalion, a secretive rogue military unit who are trying to restore order in more lethal manners.


(LMB encounters will be initiated by myself, as they are a SECRETIVE rogue military unit. YOU WILL NOT simply find them walking through the streets.)
