* The E3 2018 confirmed the presence of something that players have been asking for since the first game. Three Words: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Eight. Player. Raids.]] The game will finally have a pinnacle endgame activity that truly deserves to be called "pinnacle."
** Later information confirmed that the Raid will take place in the Ronald Regan International Airport. A massive location that is outside the normal play area, which opens up the possibility of future Raids taking place in areas that are not within the main play area of the game, such as the Pentagon; or potentially not even within DC at all.
*** As of Title Update 6, the Pentagon is now the location of a couple of missions specifically targeting Black Tusk. Other missions outside of the normal play area are also available, allowing the player to visit Kinley College, Camp White Oak and the National Zoo.
* One of the biggest complaints of the original game was a lack of End Game content at launch. Ubisoft claimed in the run-up to launch that they listened to these complaints and incorporated them into the game. Their answer: [[EliteArmy Black]] [[TheCoup Tusk.]] An army of rogue Black Ops soldiers invade the map and completely overtake all of Washington D.C. effectively resetting the map and launching a second storyline.

* After bringing the SHD network back online, there's an awesome cutscene where every Agent in the US has a collective HellYesMoment as their tech starts working again. That, in and of itself is awesome, but what makes it even better is that we get a cameo of [[spoiler: Faye Lau]] kicking Cleaner ass in NYC while sporting an EyepatchOfPower that would make Big Boss proud!

* Tidal Basin. [[spoiler: The Black Tusk's Stronghold; with all that entails. With the Black Tusk still having some grip on the city, and having a set of anti-virals, the same kind found in [[VideoGame/TheDivision New York]], the SHD decides to do the only thing they can; raid their FOB, make sure they're weakened to all hell, and retrieve the anti-virals. Mid-way, however, it's found that they have a ''fucking battleship'' ready to blow the White House i.e your ''Base of Operations'' to pieces. Overall, it makes you feel like a badass throughout.]]
* [[spoiler: Crossing over with NightmareFuel, the return of the [[TheDreaded Hunters]] from the first game. No fuss about it; a single one of them straight-up uses deception to lure the SHD into a seemingly abandoned Control Point to attempt a rescue of a fellow agent, with only the fact that the Hyenas have been scared shitless about the location serving as a hint that something's wrong. Once it's done, they swoop in, use their signature EMP, and promptly put up a hell of a fight; no matter what level you are by then, it'll be a challenge to grind even a single armor bar down...[[HopelessBossFight not that it matters,]] as once it's completely depleted, they immediately paralyze everyone, approach the lead...and taunts them, before leaving them be. And as it happens, ''twelve'' of his comrades enter D.C once the Black Tusk arrive, all of them using a adapted version of their moveset in the first game.]]

* Rescuing President Ellis from the Hyenas. Turns out, he survived UsefulNotes/AirForceOne getting shot down, and was taken hostage by the Hyenas. [[VillainRespect Out of respect]] or [[AmbiguousSituation something else]], the President no worse for wear once the Agent finds him, and when they catch up, the President grabs a gun from one of the Hyenas, and starts fighting alongside the Agent. [[ActionPolitician He’s also no slouch in combat either]] despite being the [[UnexpectedSuccessor House Speaker before becoming President]].

* The private beta gave players a taste of the endgame by opening up the level 30 Invaded version of Jefferson Trade Center. The Black Tusks spare no expense trying to take down the Division, utilizing their own skills and exclusive tech like waist-high robots mounted with gun turrets (two variants, at that). The end of the mission brings the intimidation factor up a notch - instead of spawning by charging through doors as most enemies usually do, the Tusks send ''multiple waves of attack choppers'' with several squads [[DynamicEntry rappelling]] into the battlefield -- [[OhCrap possibly on top of a player caught off-guard]]. The whole ordeal is a far cry from Legendary missions in the previous game, which had no gameplay justification or the same sort of atmosphere this Invaded mission gives. The best part? ''Every single main and side mission'' will get this treatment at level 30!

* The E3 2018 confirmed the presence of something that players have been asking for since the first game. Three Words: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Eight. Player. Raids.]] The game will finally have a pinnacle endgame activity that truly deserves the title.
