How to get the Huntsman Auto Rifle in The Division 2

The Huntsman is a new named gear piece introduced with The Division 2 Battle for Brooklyn. It is an Auto Rifle that fires at over 1000 rounds per minute and comes with 30 rounds in the magazine. The weapon is one of many new items added with the DLC.

However, the Huntsman is special, as players require a bit of grinding to get their hands on it, and the weapon itself is pretty potent.

Huntsman Auto Rifle guide in The Division 2

To get the Huntsman Auto Rifle in The Division 2, you must first encounter eight different Hunters in eight corners of the Brooklyn map. These Hunters spawn only if you follow certain puzzles. While one of the rewards you get from them is Masks, the other includes an Ash Key.

Collecting eight of these Ash Keys and then using them to open a special briefcase within the Bridge Settlement will drop the Huntsman Auto Rifle, alongside the Hunter of Hunters universal weapon skin.

Once you have the weapon, you can change or optimize the core and normal attributes. However, the perk, Perfect Frenzy, is what separates this weapon from the others.

The Huntsman is the first Auto Rifle in The Division 2 to get the Perfect Frenzy perk.
