Agents, The Division 2: Mutiny brings a shift in the conflict. True Sons defectors are breaking ranks, and we can recruit them as field ready Companions. With the Command Link system at the center of this season, your coordination with these recruits becomes a powerful tool in every fight. New threats, new equipment and a demanding Master Climax Mission will test how well you can adapt and work together.
And if you want some official materials to go with the action, the fresh fan kit is out now with logos, season art and other assets!
COMPANIONS
The Division 2: Mutiny introduces the NPC Companions, a feature where you can recruit and command defected True Sons soldiers who now fight by your side. As a Squad Leader, you can guide your Companion through combat by ordering them to reposition, focus targets, support the team or activate special abilities through the Command Link Global Modifier.
The system is tightly connected to the season’s Modifiers, which shape how you and your Companion work together. Each Companion functions as an Active Modifier that you equip, and every Archetype brings its own set of abilities you can command in combat. Passive Modifiers strengthen your teamwork. Hostile Modifiers introduce enemy behaviors designed to disrupt that coordination.
Recruitment
You can recruit Companions through open world encounters and True Sons Mutiny Events found throughout Washington DC. During fights against True Sons, you may come across defectors who choose to break ranks mid combat. If they survive the encounter, you can speak with them afterwards and recruit them as your active Companion.
Recruitment encounters appear only in Washington DC, but once a Companion joins you, they can go with you anywhere, including missions in other regions and the full range of difficulty settings up to Legendary.
Archetypes
There are three Companion Archetypes, each with distinct combat style and purpose to your team:
Assault, a frontline fighter who pushes forward and engages aggressively while still using cover when needed.
Medic, a defensive support unit who focuses on healing, cleansing and reviving the team.
Engineer, keeps enemies out of key areas with well-placed turrets and strong close-range defense.
You begin the season with the Assault Companion unlocked during the introductory mission. Medic and Engineer Companions are gained by finding and recruiting defectors in the open world.
Each Companion has Traits, which act as strengths or weaknesses. They are randomly assigned within that Companion’s Archetype and may improve offense, defense, movement or resistances. You are encouraged to experiment with different Companions and Trait combinations to find one that fits your playstyle.
MODIFIERS
Global Modifier
Command Link is the core seasonal modifier and sits at the center of your teamwork with your Companion. The meter builds when you perform coordinated actions, for example marking priority targets, focusing fire on the same enemy or backing each other up with damage or support actions. Each action awards Command Link Points and grants short term buffs.
When the Command Link meter is full, you can activate your Companion’s Active Modifier ability. As you continue earning Modifier XP with that Archetype, these abilities level up and gain additional effects.

Passive Archetype Bonuses
The more Companions you recruit, the stronger your personal passive bonus becomes. This bonus is based on how many Companions you have collected in the season, and it stays active whenever the Global Modifier is on, even if you do not have a Companion deployed.
Each Assault recruit grants +1.5% Weapon Damage, up to 15%.
Each Medic recruit grants +2% Hazard Protection, up to 20%.
Each Engineer recruit grants +1.5% Skill Efficiency, up to 15%.
Co-op Rules
Command Link works in both solo and co-op play. In group play, only one Companion is active for the entire team. Any agent can deploy their Companion for up to 90 seconds, then another player can take over by deploying theirs.
Each agent builds their own Command Link meter based on how they coordinate with the active Companion. Priority Kill and Reposition buffs apply only to the player who issued the command. Crossfire Kill, Buddy Aid and Collateral Kill can be triggered by anyone in the group and each player receives their own buff and meter progress.
Your Command Link progress carries over when another agent deploys their Companion. Progress resets when an Active Modifier ability is used, when you change Companions or if either the agent or the Companion is downed.
Active Modifiers
Active Modifiers are powerful abilities that you can trigger once the Command Link meter is full. Each Companion Archetype has its own version of this ability. They can be upgraded through Modifier XP and all Companions of the same Archetype share this progress.
Spearhead - Assault
The Assault Companion fires an explosive RPG that hits hard and applies Bleed in a small radius. Activating it also boosts your team’s damage against exposed enemies for a short time. As you level it up, the blast grows stronger and wider, and eventually leaves behind a burning area that helps break up enemy groups.
Techline - Engineer
The Engineer Companion deploys a Turret that locks down enemies and increases your team’s Skill Damage while it is active. Higher levels enhance its firepower and add disruptive effects, such as an EMP burst or explosive rounds.
Quickfix - Medic
The Medic Companion sets up a Support Station that heals, cleanses and revives allies in its area, while giving your team bonus Armor on Kill. Upgrades extend its range and add new tools, including Shock effects that help protect the team as the Station expires.
Passive Modifiers
Passive Modifiers provide ongoing bonuses that work with any active Companion. There are 18 in total, grouped into Offense, Defence and Tactics categories, and you can equip up to three at a time. These bonuses activate automatically as you play.
Passive Modifiers focus on strengthening the coordination between you and your Companion. They reinforce your teamwork by enhancing things like Command Link generation, buff uptime or the damage of well-timed actions.
Hostile Countermeasures
Hostile Modifiers are special enemy behaviors designed to break your coordination with your Companion. They appear throughout the season and require you to adapt your tactics.
Commander - a heavily armored Elite enemy who boosts nearby allies.
Jammer - a hidden enemy who suppresses your Command Link gain and disables Passive Modifiers until you and your Companion flush them out and eliminate them.
Fireteam - a paired enemy group that shares damage resistance and healing.
