The Shroud Exotic Marksman Rifle in The Division 2 is a new seasonal item linked to Year 7 Season 2, The Pact. This exotic comes with a unique talent that takes the target's tier into account. As the new season delves into enemy faction hierarchy alongside the release of the Retaliation game mode, the Shroud is a fun exotic to get your hands on.

This article will go over how players can acquire the Shroud Exotic Marksman Rifle in The Division 2, during Year 7 Season 2 and later down the line.

Obtaining the Shroud Exotic Marksman Rifle in The Division 2

To obtain the Shroud Exotic Marksman Rifle in The Division 2 Year 7 Season 2 The Pact, you must reach Season Pass Tier 69. This is a free tier, which means you aren't required to purchase the Premium Season Pass. Receiving this Exotic Marksman Rifle will also let you acquire its Blueprint, which in turn can be used to modify the attributes at the Crafting Station.
