As Battle for Brooklyn is the first paid content for The Division 2 since the launch of the Warlords of New York expansion in 2020, players must first purchase it on their preferred platform to access it. Once this is done, players must boot into their saved character.

On the home screen, players will see that their character is eligible for a boost if their level is lower than 40, the recommended level requirement to play through this DLC. This can only be done in-game after starting the new story, so players must log into their save file and go to the main hub of the White House in Washington, DC.

Here, the helicopter in front of the White House will take players to Brooklyn, and talking to the New York Pilot NPC standing in front of the vehicle will allow players to select between the downloadable content. This is also how players will begin the older Warlords of New York DLC. If they are using a lower-level character, then a Boost option will be available when starting the campaign.

This will instantly increase the player's level to 40 upon being dropped into The Division 2 Battle for Brooklyn DLC. Players will also be provided a set of Superior (Pink) and High-End (Yellow) tier gear and weapons for use. This is key since the enemies are also level 40. On top of this, many of the Cleaner foes are armed with Purple Flame tech that will corrode players' armor in combat.

The Division 2 Battle for Brooklyn DLC is out right now for all platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
