Ah, the friendly locals of the Dark Zones, we can now head back to the lovely PvP mode in The Division 2. Inside of The Division 2 Dark Zones are the new Rogue States that your character can go into. What are The Division 2 Rogue States? What does it all mean?
We’re here to let you in on all you need to know about Rogue States in The Division 2. Details on The Division 2 Rogue, The Division 2 Disavowed, and The Division 2 Manhunt states can be found below.
What are The Division 2 Rogue States?
The Dark Zones in The Division 2 have been given something of a facelift when compared to those in the original. Yes, you can still enter The Dark Zones and fight for loot with and against other players, but new Rogue States have been introduced. This is an expanded system when compared to the original Division game.
In The Division 2, there are three Rogue States you can enter into inside of the Dark Zones. These are Rogue, Disavowed, and Manhunt. These three work in a tier system. First you become a Rogue Agent, then you’ll be Disavowed, and then finally you’ll enter into a Manhunt state. You will advance through the tiers when you fulfill certain scenarios. As soon as you go Rogue, however, enemy players will be able to kill you. Careful now.
When you have committed several different Rogue actions, you will unlock access to the location of the Thieves’ Dens. Head here to clear your Rogue State and exit with all of your stolen loot. Below, you’ll find exactly how you can enter into each of the three Rogue States.
The Division 2 Rogue States | How to go Rogue
If you want to head to one of the Thieves’ Dens on the Dark Zone map to clear your name and escape with all your loot, you will first need to go Rogue. Thankfully, entering into Rogue State (Gray Rogue) is easy. Again, be warned that as soon as you go Rogue, you can be killed by other players. Timing is everything.
To go Rogue, you need to perform one of the following actions:
- Access an SHD Terminal
- Hijack an extraction
- Pick a locked chest
- Steal Dark Zone drops
- Steal dropped loot
Performing any one of the above actions will ensure you go Gray Rogue. Complete a number of these actions and you should unlock the locations of the Thieves’ Dens.
The Division 2 Rogue States | How to go Disavowed
Once you are a Gray Rogue, you can become a Disavowed Agent. To do so, you will need to again perform a certain action. It’s a grisly action, too. To enter into a Disavowed Rogue State you will need to kill another player. Of course, you can only do this if you are already a Gray Rogue. Going Disavowed will place a more visible red marker on you, along with a bounty.
The more players you kill, the larger the bounty on your head will be. The bounty will last a set amount of time, however, which increases if you kill more enemies. If you survive until the timer runs out, though, you get to keep the bounty. The enemy that kills you will otherwise win your bounty. Talk about risk/reward gameplay. There’s another stage to go still, however.
The Division 2 Rogue States | How to enter into Manhunt State
Once you are a Disavowed Agent, you will be able to enter into the Manhunt Rogue State. Essentially, when you kill a lot of enemies, you will enter into the highest Rogue State the game has to offer. You will be marked yellow for all other players to see that you are dangerous and full of rewards.
Heading into Manhunt mode will increase your bounty and its timer dramatically. This means that if you survive your rewards will be great. When you enter into the Manhunt Rogue State, you will be made aware of several assigned SHD terminals. Head to one of them before another player kills you in order to clear your Manhunt State, or to increase your notoriety level and bounty. Not for the faint-of-heart.
Remember to head to a Thieves’ Den in order to completely clear your name and walk away with all your loot. Certain Thieves’ Dens will contain a vendor offering incredible loot at an incredible cost. It’s all about how much pressure you can take in the Dark Zones.
Tom Clancy Franchise Tour

The Division 2 and the best and worst Tom Clancy franchises
Due to a set of circumstances only possible in our industry, the Tom Clancy name has been all over gaming. It's the first name in tactical shooters and one of Ubisoft's most valuable franchises. However, it's not all sunshine and roses. Here is the history of The Clance in video game form. -
The Hunt for Red October
In the late '80s, one of the prominent genres on home PCs were tense strategy games. Since graphics hadn't evolved as of yet, games, where you played in the theater of the mind, dominated the landscape. What better subject than the tense thrillers of Tom Clancy for these types of experiences? -
The Sum of All Fears
In 1996, Tom Clancy co-founded Red Storm Entertainment after seeing these early successes. Ubisoft subsequently purchased the studio in 2000 after establishing a working relationship with them. Ubisoft then purchased the Tom Clancy name outright for use in video games in 2006. By then, games tying into Clancy's movie successes just weren't enough. -
Rainbow Six
Originally based on one of Clancy's novels, the Rainbow Six series encompasses 17 distinct releases across multiple platforms. Each game features tactical first-person shooting and aspires to be a military simulation. This style peaked with a pair of Vegas titles released on Xbox 360. -
Rainbow Six Siege
After spending several years developing a follow-up to Vegas entittled Patriots, Ubisoft went a different way. Rainbow Six Siege is a multiplayer-focused endeavor with Overwatch-style heroes as its operatives. Although it started off on the wrong foot, constant improvements have made it one of the most popular shooters going. -
Ghost Recon
The second set of Clancy tactical shooters, Ghost Recon differentiates itself with its third-person gameplay and its large outdoor environments. There have been fourteen Ghost Recon releases, ranging from the modern day to the near future. Most recently, Ghost Recon took a turn into the open world with Wildlands. -
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
A subsection of Ghost Recon, "GRAW" was one of the standout games around the Xbox 360 launch. Combining the tactics the series is known for with then-futuristic technology made for a great combination. Ubisoft would revisit the idea with a direct sequel and Future Soldier in 2012. -
Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher might have been in the running as an Xbox mascot back in the good old days. A stealth action series to rival Metal Gear, Sam's adventures are classics, particularly the original trilogy. The latest in the series was Blacklist in 2013, although there have been hints that Sam might drop in again any day now. -
EndWar
Taking Tom Clancy back to full on tactics, 2008's EndWar promoted itself on its voice-operated commands. You could control the entire game with a headset, although some reviewers found that to be difficult to achieve. A sequel started development but never saw the light of day. There was a free-to-play follow-up planned but it was canceled. -
H.A.W.X.
An arcade flying game taking place in the timeline of Advanced Warfighter, H.A.W.X. is a weird fit in the Tom Clancy timeline. Two games were released in 2009 and 2010, both receiving mixed to positive reviews. A seeming stopgap in the industry while Ace Combat slumbered, this is one name we probably won't be seeing again. -
The Division
The latest Tom Clancy joint, The Division takes the gameplay structure of Destiny and brings it down to Earth. Literally. This loot shooter doesn't quite have the tactical gameplay of past titles bearing Mr. Clancy's name, but it does have the squad controls and the storyline that attempts to match his most engaging works of fiction. Well, it doesn't have great storytelling techniques but at least it has the look and feel of a Clancy game.
