Hyenas

"A loosely organized gang of opportunistic raiders that prey on struggling civilian encampments through violence and intimidation. These hedonistic scavengers take everything they can steal and destroy everything else to deprive their enemies of valuable resources. The Hyenas are led by a council of the strongest pack leaders."

The Hyenas are a major enemy faction in Tom Clancy's The Division 2. While combining the killing instinct, thievery premise, and the firearm combat discipline of the Rioters and the Rikers in Tom Clancy's The Division, these roaming scavengers are thieves and murderers, who prey on the weak and incautious for resources and kill for kicks, as well as destroying everything they can't salvage to hobble their enemies.

The Hyenas are reckless and aggressive enemies that prioritise enemy elimination over their own safety, charging around in a battle and caring only about destroying their opponents completely.

After The Division brought most Council members to justice, including the ones in the District Union Arena, the Hyenas become disorganized. However, two council members assumed to be still active and at large: Mayhem and Zodiac.

Background
"It better fucking be! Because we can't beat the True Sons in a straight-up fight. We don't have the training or the discipline. So we have to be smarter than them, and fucking each other over at every opportunity is not smart!"

- Books making his case for stopping inter-Hyena warfare. The Hyenas are a loosely organized gang of hedonistic scavengers who rely on violence and intimidation to prey on struggling civilian encampments. These opportunistic raiders have no greater agenda other than to exploit weakness and vulnerability of those who were torn by the outbreak of the Green Poison, and thrive by capitalizing on the misfortune of citizens that were affected by the outbreak.

As civilized society collapsed in the greater metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., citizens who gravitated to acts of depredation - stealing, plundering, raiding, pillaging, ambushing, double-dealing, etc. - to survive began to band together into clans to further gain supplies for their plundering. Some named themselves and claimed turf, similar to how youth gangs operate. But most were amorphous groupings whose membership and leadership shifted from day to day.

As the brutal, anarchic winter turned into spring, six larger clans rose to prominence in the shattered streets north of Constitution Avenue. For weeks, their vicious turf battles destabilized entire neighborhoods and terrorized the surviving citizenry. But in February, these six clans called an interpack truce that led to the creation of a so-called "freedom council" with each clan represented (many lesser clans exist but are not represented). This council has declared a series of purposes that they've termed "freedoms":
 * The freedom to conduct "business" (plunder) within the clan's sphere of influence without interference or consequence from other clans.
 * The freedom to accumulate resources of value/wealth for the clan's own consumption as well as for bartering opportunities with other clans.
 * The freedom to prevent enemies (i.e., any organization not designated a party to the council agreement) from acquiring control of any turf within the northern district.

The council also made one final declaration. The leaders created an umbrella designation for all six clans, calling themselves the Hyenas and officially making them unified into one technical clan.

Despite a lack of centralized organization, the Hyenas are shrewd and well-inured to the use of violence. They care nothing for civilians other than as possible resources of survival goods, sometimes even terrorizing, killing, and hunting merely for sport or their amusement. They are callous opportunists, not only preying on a disrupted city but also actively resisting and undermining stabilization efforts by local and federal authorities in order to keep themselves in control of the settlements without any federal government interference.

Leadership
"We form a council. You have a problem, you leave your piece at the door, and we deal with it together. As an organisation."

- Coyote, on the Hyena Council's formation. The Hyenas leadership and government structure is a combination of a federation and an autocracy. As a federation, the Hyenas are led by a Council of Hyena clans. Each clan is self-governing and relatively independent of one another but are all unified as one. As an autocracy, each clan is led by a single leader who has absolute authority over his/her own clan and represents them within the council, acting as the speaker that voices the choices of his/her clan represented in the Council.

Originally the Hyenas were divided and often fought each other for control of turf to spread each clan's influence until a clan leader named Coyote proposed to other clan leaders to unify together. She argued that they all faced a common foe, the True Sons, and that they need to band together if they were going to survive. After much debate, the other clan leaders agreed with Coyote and thus the Hyena Council was formed.

Intelligence Brief
"The neighbourhoods you'll be moving through are Hyena territory. They're a bunch of vicious assholes that prey on the weak and vulnerable, and kill for kicks. They also destroy whatever they can't take for themselves."

- Manny Ortega, on Hyena Territory and their method of operation. Much like their animal counterparts, the Hyenas are generally opportunistic raiders and scavengers who prey on the weak but can also stand their ground against more powerful foes. The Hyenas appear to consist mostly of late teens and young adults who are either criminals, affiliated with gangs before the outbreak, and normal citizens who wish to cash in the anarchy and lack of law enforcement caused by the Green Poison. In fact, they've been known to manufacture drugs as drug labs can be seen within Hyena occupied buildings. As noted from their weapons and tactics:


 * They mostly consist of young adults and late teens who exhibit reckless combat tactics and rely on unyielding aggression and suppressive fire.
 * They are more lax about cover than disciplined opponents such as True Sons, often shoot without aiming, or simply take drugs and charge.
 * Their weapons mostly consist of stolen police or civilian weaponry, consisting of mostly pistols, submachine guns, and shotguns, loaded mostly with 9mm or .45 ACP rounds, but 5.56 and 7.62 mm rounds are used by higher ranking Hyenas for Assault Rifles and LMGs.
 * Their secondary equipment seems to mostly consist of stolen police and SWAT equipment, smoke grenades, tear gas munitions, gas masks, and ballistic goggles, but also has stolen FBI equipment and C4 explosives.
 * They are equipped and trained sufficiently in explosives and electronics to create weapons such as explosive RC cars and sniper turrets.
 * Their council is also shown to have a sufficient level of government structure, and mark their territory with green paint and fumes.
 * They are also open to use their enemies' equipment as well, using stolen True Sons assault turrets, Outcast Flamethrowers, and even stolen Division technology, such as Drones, Turrets, Fireflies, and Seeker Mines to name a few.

Relationship with other factions
"Two spins, or a slow death! Your choice."

- Dime torturing a civilian settlement leader. The Hyenas are hostile towards anyone who attempts to jostle in on their territory, regardless of faction. They hate the True Sons in particular as they were the original reason for the unification and appear to be on the defensive against them, seen on the southern edge of Hyena territory and the Northern edge of True Sons territory (Federal Triangle). The Hyenas also appear to be hostile towards the Outcasts, most likely due to their want of control of D.C. The 'clans' of Coyote, Saint, Diesel and Dime all possess control points with miniguns, suggesting that their clans were doing the bulk of the fighting against the True Sons.

They are hostile towards the Outcasts as an ECHO located on H Street NW, near the World’s End control point provides evidence that at least one group of Hyenas and at least one group of Outcasts were fighting over territory while trying to take out a squad of True Sons guarding a building in Downtown West. This suggests that the Hyenas see the Outcasts as a threat to their survival in Western D.C., and are trying to keep them at bay till they can muster the numbers needed to crush their control of West D.C.

Following the death of several Hyena Council members and the invasion of the Black Tusk, the Hyenas are now at war with every faction and are vying for control of positions within Washington, D.C. They have also attempted to re-organize under new leaders but failed as the Division has killed any Hyena that has attempted to.

Often after the fall of the Hyena Council, Rogue Agents would often attempt to recruit the Hyenas for their own purposes, namely Venus, Wraith, and Kestrel. Often this would prove to be a poor decision as the Division eliminated these Rogue Agents, often killing any Hyena who sided with them.
