** ^ (Confirmed. Hyenas take over the combined Rioter/Riker role from the first game, Outcasts are separatists looking for revenge against everyone, and both the True Sons and Black Tusk represent rogue military/PMC organizations operating against the Division. Then there's those spooky Scavenger/Ambusher factions and the Hunters...)

** Keener is tracked from New York to DC, where he's engineered an attempt on the life of the president judging from the crashed Air Force One laying across the National Mall. The Division agents were initially driven out of DC, but are making attempts to return now that New York has been stabilized/are reinforcing what's left of the government and reaching out to the civilian survivors. Meanwhile, Keener is rumored to be interfacing with several of the groups in order to build up his new world order, and is ravaging government offices and files for more intelligence.

[[WMG: The Hunters are a Third Wave of Division Agents...]]
*...And they're tasked with cleaning up the First and Second Waves. Look at it from this angle: The First Wave of Agents went rogue, and any loyalists were killed off. SHD realises something's up when the agents don't respond, and wave two shows up both to help with the outbreak and find what happened to the First Wave. Wave Two finds out Wave One went rogue, reports what happened to the government. The government probably knew ''something'' had happened to Wave One, but didn't know what exactly - they now know that the agents went rogue, commanded by one of their own.
'So,' they ask themselves, 'what's to stop Wave Two from joining Keener, or going rogue one by one?' Answer: Very little. Plus, the Agents have seen a lot of potentially compromising material - they saw how the government left thousands of civilians and Agents in the DZ to fend for themselves, they know how the First Wave went rogue, they may know how [[http://thedivision.wikia.com/wiki/Safe_House_(ECHO) some agents were effectively left for dead]]. What would they do with that information if they themselves went rogue?
So, the Hunters are activated. A 'Who Watches the Watchmen' Division within the Division, a Third Wave of Agents. Specially equipped and trained to take down other, rogue agents. This explains their ability to disrupt your tech, as well as why they co-operate and are much harder to kill than anything else in game. They're told all agents in the DZ, or in NY as a whole, are rogues and traitors that need to be terminated. That prevents word about what happened getting out, and neatly prevents any more rogues from showing up. They take the watches of dead Agents as proof of their kills, and as means of further suppressing the information. They wear their masks and kill their targets at close range with a melee weapon to make it look like they aren't connected to the Division - the masks keep their fellow Agents from recognising them, the method of killing more associated with a group like the Rikers than Agents.
This also helps explain the DZ Supply Drops - they're for the Hunters hiding in the zone, not for the Agents, hence why they don't land outside the base. The natural secrecy of the Hunters would further explain why Faye Lau has no idea why the drops are in the DZ.
And as for why they only attack during the snowstorm, while you have the anti-virus? They know you're weak. They know you're missing most of your best gear, and that they have the advantage of surprise and disruption tech. They don't attack during normal DZ operations because of the risk of an agent escaping - they can just run back to the checkpoint and get out of there, or lose the Hunters among the buildings. In the storm? You're cut off from the checkpoints, and cannot escape them normally. They wait until you're at an area where they have the advantage, and hit you hard and fast.
They don't want the anti-virus leaving because the PC could be a First Waver or a Second Waver - if the first, Keener gets even more dangerous. If the second, they risk letting information leak. Either way, they need the PC dead.
