Everything you need to know about The Division 2 Halloween Event in Title Update Y7S2.2

The Houndsman Hunt

During the Halloween event, players can hunt down Mini Warhounds, which are specialized and scaled-down versions of their usual Black Tusk counterparts. These miniaturized variants will focus on evading players by using various tactics like invisibility, damage resistance, and more.

Taking down one such Mini Warhound will award you a Houndsman Bounty. Strategic Homeland Division (SHD) Agents can keep hunting Mini Warhound to stack a list of bounty targets and go after them in one sitting.

During the first week of this event (October 21 to 27, 2025), Houndsman Bounties will grant Houndsman Caches as rewards. These will unlock The Houndsman Bundle in the following sequence:

Mask
Gloves
Backpack
Uniform
unique Backpack Trophy

Here is a list of all the rewards found in The Houndsman Caches.

October 21 to 27:

After The Division 2 Title Update Y7S2.2 goes live, a Project Chain will become available. SHD Agents must undertake seven different challenges released daily during the first week of the event. Similar to previous Projects, this Halloween event chain must be completed in its sequence of release.
