The remaining Hyenas are running scared and have fallen back to the District Union Arena, their final stronghold. Take the fight to them and wipe out the remaining Council members in one decisive blow.
This is the first Stronghold the player will face in the Main Story, and thus has the lowest level requirement of 26.
Radio Transcript[]
Zodiac: Seems like a bad idea for those assholes to be at in one place.
Mayhem: I've tried telling them that. The argument is "strength in numbers". "We don't want the Division picking us off one by one" -- that kind of shit.
Zodiac: Jesus, the fish all want to be in the barrel.
Description[]
Eliminate the remaining Hyena Council members in the District Union Arena.
Mission Briefing[]
Agent Kelso: We got the Hyena spooked. Their entire council is gathered at the stronghold.
Manny Ortega: You sure we're ready to take down the council?
Agent Kelso: They're scared. We've done enough damage. We can neuter them for good.
Transcript[]
The Agent enters the area and heads into the Arena’s Western Entrance.
Manny Ortega: This is a chance to wipe out the Hyena leadership in one decisive blow. Get in there and hunt them down. Every last one of them.
The Agent engages and eliminates the Hyena guards stationed outside the entrance, including a Veteran Sniper and Elite Thrower. The Agent then heads into the arena, surprising a Hyena Assault.
Hyena Assault 1: They’re inside!
The Agent kills him, as well as reinforcements that include a Veteran Rusher.
The Agent finds several Hyenas securing an old shop, located further in including a Veteran Sniper and Elite Rusher.
Hyena Assault 2: We’re under attack! Stop them here!
Hyena Assault 3: Get word to the others. It’s the Division!
The Agent clears out the Hyenas in the shop and moves through the Arena’s first concourse, clearing out the medical bay, despite reinforcements that include a Veteran Controller and Assault. As the Agent moves into the second concourse, the Hyena Council members realize they’ve got company.
ISAC: Hostile radio intercepted.
Mayhem (Frustrated): They’re inside the building? I told Diesel we needed more people guarding the entrance!
Dime: You can give him shit about it if we all live through this. Right now, I need you to do whatever you can with whatever you got.
Mayhem: Alright. I’m on it.
The Agent then moves into a restaurant which serves as a Hyena armory and workshop, clearing it out despite reinforcements consisting of an Elite Controller, Veteran Shield, and Veteran Sniper. The Agent then moves through to a Hyena cafeteria to find a Hyena Rusher destroying the switch allowing access to the dormitory.
Hyena Rusher: I’m immortal! And you’re dead!
The Agent kills the Rusher.
ISAC: Local power offline.
ISAC: Circuit breaker detected.
The Agent fends off a Hyena counterattack that is supported by a Veteran Shield and Elite Medic, and heads through the dormitory to a common room, being secured by Hyenas that include a Veteran Medic. The Agent clears them out despite a second attack from Hyenas including a Veteran Sniper.
The Agent then makes their way through to the leisure space. A Hyena rusher is asleep on the couch, and further up a Veteran Sniper and Regular Assault patrols. As the Agent engages, the Rusher jumps off the couch and attacks, while the Assault flips over a table to provide cover. The Agent kills them, despite reinforcements that include an Elite Sniper.
Finally, the Agent makes their way through and surprises Hyenas including a Veteran Rusher and Elite Assault securing the council chamber, while no Council members are found.
Hyena Boss (most likely Books): We’re set up in the mall. They’re not getting through here.
Dime: Don’t die, motherfucker.
Books (Smug): Not a chance.
The Agent makes their way to the mall to find Books, an Elite Engineer, securing it along with other Hyenas including a Veteran Rusher and Sniper.
The Agent kills Books despite him and the other Hyenas putting up stiff resistance. Dime then contacts Books’ channel, expecting him to still be alive.
Dime (playful): You still there, sweetie? Hello?
Dime realizes that Books is dead.
Dime (alarmed): Fuck. Everyone, get yourselves ready. This situation is serious!
The Agent then makes their way down to the garage, overhearing an argument between Dime and Diesel in the process.
Dime (Concerned): Diesel, where are you?
Diesel: The garage.
Dime: Just stop those assholes, alright?
Diesel (Confident): Of course, I will. Now fuck off and let me work.
The Agent investigates the garage to find Diesel inside of an immobile APC with a minion, surrounded by other Hyenas including a Veteran Assault.
Diesel: What the fuck is taking you so long?
The Agent destroys the APC, and Diesel, a Tank, kicks off the door, jumps out and starts firing at the Agent. The Agent kills him after punching through his armor. Dime, clearly overhearing the last parts of the fight, contacts Diesel, concerned.
Dime (Concerned): Diesel, what’s going on down there?
Dime gets no response.
Dime (Concerned): Diesel, are you dead too, you inbred son of a bitch?
Dime (to other Hyenas) (worried): Everyone, get to the arena, now!
The Agent heads through to the drug lab, it’s filters off.
ISAC: Airborne toxins at unsafe levels. Filters, failing.
ISAC: Air filter function restored. Air quality: acceptable.
The Agent kills three Hyenas who come to investigate the filter activation, including a Veteran Assault, and hears Dime rallying the other Hyenas in the arena.
Dime: Listen up. We got devils in our house, and they mean to kill us all. Stand and fight. You hear me? Stand and fight!
The Agent makes their way into the arena to find Hyenas securing it, including a Veteran Sniper, but no sign of Dime himself.
Multiple waves of reinforcements attack, including a Veteran Assault, Medic, and Tank, but fail to kill the Agent.
Finally, Dime himself appears, a shield user, as well as alongside other Hyenas including a Sniper.
The Agent kills dime by either destroying his shield, or by flanking him and fatally wounding him.
Manny Ortega: Taking out the Hyena leadership leaves the faction in disarray. I’ll send teams to start collecting the supplies and the equipment those bastards were hoarding. And I’ll let Odessa know. The theatre settlement will be able to rest a little easier now.
