“ "Bitter survivors of a forced quarantine bent on revenge against those who brutally imprisoned them and the society that stood by and let it happen. Their charismatic, bloodthirsty leader believes everyone is complicit and urges her followers to punish the guilty by spreading sickness and murdering indiscriminately. ”
The Outcasts are a major enemy faction in Tom Clancy's The Division 2. Composed of the bitter Roosevelt Island quarantine survivors, they are hell-bent on revenge against society because they were placed in a forced quarantine that was poorly run and killed many. Their leader, Emeline Shaw, believes everyone is complicit and urges her followers to punish the guilty by spreading sickness and murdering indiscriminately. They are notorious for their sadistic nature and religious-like devotion to their cause, which is reflected in their use of suicide bombers, Molotov cocktails, and flamethrowers. Their goals have even attracted those who weren't part of the quarantine on Roosevelt Island including those with law enforcement or military training.
Their fanatical devotion to their ideals are somewhat similar to the Cleaners, and some Outcasts even utilize homemade flamethrowers that resemble the Cleaner's custom rifles. However, their goals appear to be the complete opposite of each other: The Cleaners wish to burn away all traces of the Green Poison, regardless of what must be sacrificed in the process, whereas the Outcasts want to spread death, disease, and misery wherever they go, seeking revenge against a society that let them suffer under the corrupt JTF soldiers that would later form the True Sons.
Background[]
The Outcasts faction consists of the bitter survivors of a forced (and admittedly ill-advised) CERA quarantine on Theodore Roosevelt Island and adjoining areas along the Potomac River. This murderous crew is bent on revenge against the authorities who confined them on the island, and the society that stood by and let it happen. Comprised mostly of locals drawn from many walks of life, Outcasts embrace an extreme nihilism. This in turn fuels a grim fanaticism that drives them to fearless aggression.
As the smallpox outbreak spread out of control in January, CERA and local D.C. authorities put a panicked, desperate plan for a forced quarantine into place. Soldiers cordoned off Theodore Roosevelt Island and sections of the eastern shore of the Potomac River (including the John F. Kennedy Center) from the rest of the city. Then JTF special units rounded up infected civilians from all hospitals and refugee camps and shipped them into the quarantine zone.
The zone's hastily erected facilities turned into a living nightmare for both the patients and medical staff. CERA established a triage center in the JFK Center, with the inpatient housing area isolated on the river island. The name "Roosevelt" quickly became synonymous with "death trap" as deceased pandemic victims piled up in the island's makeshift morgue.
Ultimately, not everyone quarantined was infected, and not all of the infected died. Many Roosevelt survivors were severely traumatized by the horrors they were forced to endure. One woman, Emeline Shaw, arose from their ranks and began to gather followers. Shaw, who had contracted the disease in quarantine and survived, was so consumed with rage that she organized a phalanx of "carriers" - people who, like her, had survived to become asymptomatic carriers of the smallpox virus. Her plan was to spread the disease to all as-yet-uninfected areas of the city.
According to intelligence reports, her exact words were: "None shall escape."
Formation of the Outcasts[]
“ Our enemies are right across that river. They tore us away from our families. Locked us in here. Starved us. Deprived us. Assaulted and murdered us. But it's not just them. It's also the ones that signed the orders. Who decided this was an acceptable solution. And it's the ones - all the ones - who stood by and let it happen. Doing nothing. I want justice. And so I condemn them. All of them. And I will not rest until they are punished. - Emeline Shaw rallying the Outcasts at Roosevelt Island and declaring war against everyone in Washington, D.C”
In her rage and grief over the loss of her daughter Savannah and the horrors she and other refugees in Roosevelt Island had to endure, Emeline Shaw rallied them to form the Outcasts to take their vengeance against the True Sons. But it wasn't enough to take their war against them, so Emeline declared anyone as their enemy, including the civilians outside the island who were just trying to survive the Green Poison as she saw those civilians not standing up for the refugees as grave injustice that must be condemned. Furthermore, Emeline and some of the Outcasts were asymptomatic carriers, allowing the faction to use that to unleash the Green Poison on non-infected areas of the city.
With low level of JTF guards at Roosevelt Island, it didn't take long for the Outcasts to take over the island. And so, they would begin their reign of terror.
Reign of Terror[]
“ You are accused of complicity. Of standing by as your neighbors, innocent of any crime or wrongdoing, were rounded up and forced into brutal isolation, starved and left to die... For your crimes, your lives are judged to be forfeit. - An Outcast judging a group of Theater civilians they captured before executing them”
As many people flocked to the Outcasts, they were indoctrinated to become nihilistic and aggressive warriors. They attacked anyone as well as terrorizing the Campus Settlement. At some point, Harlan Lloyd, aka The Strategist, got reports of Colonel Ridgeway being arrested by the JTF, thus Ridgeway and his unit are the enemy and not the JTF. However, Emeline ordered him to burn all the reports, believing that by controlling the narrative, it would keep the Outcasts stable and the truth would only cause disarray. Furthermore, Emeline believed by becoming monsters, they could inflict fear into their enemies, weakening them.
The Outcasts waged terror against their enemies indiscriminately, even capturing civilians for execution or using them as slave labor. They went as far as sending decapitated heads of their victims, knowing that by spreading their terror, it'll cause panic and fear among their enemies. With Emeline and some of their asymptomatic carriers, they used their blood to inject their forces with Green Poison, using this to infect areas of the city and small civilian communities, engaging in bioterrorism.
Outcasts' decimation[]
“ Those outside have sacrificed themselves for you. Prove that their sacrifice was not in vain! - Emeline Shaw in speaker broadcast, rallying the Outcasts against the Division's assault on Roosevelt Island”
But the tide would turn against the Outcasts when the Division arrived to Washington, D.C. to take back the capitol. One by one, their operations fell by the Division as they lost DCD Headquarters, depriving them the means of unleashing Green Poison to their victims. Moreover, the capture of The Strategist allowed the Division to take more direct action against the Outcasts. The Outcasts were also sent to Federal Emergency Bunker, killing many Division analysts and agents except one, Maya Walsh. However, they'd be dealt another blow when agents were sent there to secure the node in the bunker and rescuing Maya.
They'd suffer a major blow when the Division assaulted their stronghold in Roosevelt Island. Many high-value individuals were killed by the agents and the boat that was to be used to evacuate Emeline Shaw was sabotaged and decimated. With the loss of Roosevelt Island and their operations, Outcasts were scattered, finding themselves at war with every faction in D.C, including Black Tusk. However, Emeline Shaw managed to escape the island during the Division's attack, rallying her people once more.
Death of Emeline Shaw/Kenly College[]
“ As long one Outcast remains, we will survive! - Emeline Shaw declaring her Outcasts will endure even after her death, moments before being killed by Division agents at Manning National Zoo”
Emeline Shaw including some of her remaining inner circle and many Outcast forces settled in Manning National Zoo, preparing to make their stand. When the Division learned of this, they sent agents to the zoo to eliminate Emeline once and for all. Many of the Outcasts would fall, including Emeline's inner circle. In her last stand, Emeline declared that her Outcasts would still survive as long one of them survives. Emeline was killed by the agents, putting her out of misery. Though, Agent Kelso predicted that the Outcasts would still endure despite the death of their leader.
It's also revealed in an ECHO intercepted by agents in Manning Zoo that Emeline used to go there with her daughter Savannah as that place held a lot of sentimental value to Emeline.
In addition, the Outcasts established a base in Kenly College, hoping to find new ways to launch an attack on D.C. When Joint Task Force (Task Force Proteus) was investigating the area, they assaulted the squad, killing all of them but one: Jack Arnold. They looted the supplies which included: three military servers, communications jamming hub, encrypted radio headsets, 2 tanks of large chemicals, explosives, a type of combustible armor, and a Mobile SHD Server. They also captured Jack Arnold and forced her to do their work. Their plans involved launching a surprising and devastating attack on the Division and D.C.
However, those plans were derailed as the Division sent agents to Kenly College to follow a distress call from Proteus, putting a stop to the Outcasts and their plans, rescuing Jack Arnold, and securing the Mobile SHD Server.
Rallied by Rogue Agents[]
Emeline's last words were proven correct as Outcasts got rallied by many Rogue Agents in the wake of Rogue Network's activation, promising them a new cause and revenge against the Division. Neptune rallied their forces in West D.C, but they'd be scattered after his death. When Hornet and his Rogue Cell arrived, many Outcasts would join him from all parts of D.C, hoping to spread fear and panic through the Eclipse Virus. Unfortunately for the Outcasts, the Division eliminated major low-level leaders, the Rogue Cell, and Hornet, scattering the faction once again.
When Bardon Schaeffer's Rogue Cell emerged, Skyler "Belfry" Williams with the support of B.T.S.U., recruited what remains of the Outcasts in the Northwest region of D.C to cause problems for the Division, so Black Tusk can wage a proxy war against the organization. But like before, Belfry was killed by the Division, scattering any Outcasts who survived.
Outside of D.C, Rogue Agent Rowan O'Shea rallied the Outcasts in her mission against the Division. A cell led by Agent Brenda Wells alongside Agent Leo Fourte and newly recruited Agent Maira Kanhai were pursuing Rowan across the country to stop her. However, when Brenda's cell arrived in Saint Louis. the Outcasts used dirty bombs, showering the city with radiation. Nonetheless, Brenda and her cell managed to stop Rowan and eliminated her, as well as eliminating any Outcasts who joined her.
The dirty bomb attack on Saint Louis by the Outcasts devastated the city. But furthermore, it became a strong rumor among Black Tusk and True Sons forces during the events of Reign of Fire, especially due to concerns of radiation. Natalya Sokolova used these rumors to distract the Division in their operation against Stovepipe.
Aftermath[]
With the many losses the Outcasts suffered, they have mostly detoriated into small bands of loosely-organized bandits. Hoarding supplies, terrifying civilians, and generally a nuisance in D.C. While they're still dangerous, they're no more dangerous as they were before.
During the events of First Rogue, the Outcasts would take over multiple locations in Downtown West, prompting Aaron Keener to send Division agents to push them out as part of his test. The agents retook control points occupied by the Outcasts, as well as eliminating a large number of them including high-value individuals.
Intelligence Brief[]
“ For only those who have suffered may decree the suffering of others! - Outcast Creed”
Outcasts would do anything to spread the disease and, just as important to their designs, a paralyzing fear of the disease. Simply put, the cult seeks to terrify, infect and kill everyone in the district. Recently, a Division source acquired an internal declaration of the Outcasts' primary objective:
"This city left us to die. We will not stop until everyone in it lies cold, sick, and dead: eradicated. Vengeance will be ours."
Thus, the Camp Roosevelt Island survivors have their sights set on gutting the population of the nation's capital - every citizen and public official, alt law enforcement and military personnel, local or federal. This includes all competing factions in the region, particularly their crosstown rivals, the True Sons.
The Division's intelligence wing has compiled the following analysis of Outcasts culture:
- They are vengeful fanatics who do not respond to reasoned negotiation.
- Because their beliefs are essentially nihilistic, they have nothing to lose, and they fight that way.
- Their seething sense of betrayal has spawned an intense hatred for every level of society. Hence, they operate without empathy.
- They kill ruthlessly, fervently, even joyfully.
- They favor inhumane methods of killing, especially burning.
- They are experimenting with biological warfare techniques: contaminating wells with the virus, and deploying "Typhoid Mary" sleeper agents to infect communities.
Having suffered from their quarantine from the JTF under Colonel Ridgeway's administration, the Outcasts pursue only one goal; revenge. They seek to bring about calamity and destruction to those that wronged them and see any 'bystanders' as equally guilty for doing nothing but watching them suffer in Roosevelt Island. Their followers' zealous devotion to their leader and their cause, the usage of distinctive, if not, poetic titles by some members, and their leaders' religious guidance is among evidence to suggest the Outcasts is a cult. They might even see their revenge against the world as a crusade of sorts. Their irrational mindset, however, does not stop them from being sophisticated and thinking outside of the box. The Outcasts' usage of homemade weaponry and the diverse combat style is a testament to their unorthodox, yet effective ingenuity. They typically identify their territory with "decorations" of glass shards wrapped in caution tape and burning biohazard boxes with the Outcast symbol as seen on the bridge to Roosevelt Island.
When they were organized and had a designated leader, they were a high-level threat as they had begun to use biological warfare against The Division and The Campus, and would launch concentrated attacks. They had also established multiple base of operations - Roosevelt Island being their primary base, but having bases at the Manning National Zoo, and Kenly College.
But after The Division's concentrated campaign against them, they lost all their operating bases, weapon supply, and leaders, making them a low-to-medium level threat in D.C.,however they maintained a surprising level of organization that was not seen among any other faction native to DC.
Relationship with other factions[]
“ Rats, dogs, and shits with guns... welcome to D.C. - An Outcast on how Washington appears”
The Outcasts despise the True Sons and mark them as the ones primarily responsible for the quarantine and treatment as they (as the Joint Task Force and under command of Antwon Ridgeway) were the ones who imprisoned them and left them to die in the first place. They have been known to attack the True Sons and execute any survivors. Despite this, they are not actively at war with the True Sons compared to the Hyenas and are more focused on terrorizing the Campus Settlement, such as sending people infected with Green Poison to try and infect the settlement (DCD Headquarters), and attacking anyone who is affiliated with them.
They are hostile towards the Hyenas. However, an ECHO located on H Street NW, near the World’s End control point shows that the Outcasts and Hyenas are at least willing to temporarily co-operate while trying to take out a squad of True Sons that were guarding a building in Downtown West, but will attack each other on sight otherwise.
Following the death of Emeline Shaw, the loss of the strongholds Roosevelt Island and Manning National Zoo, and the invasion of the Black Tusk, the Outcasts are now at war with every faction and are trying for control of positions within D.C.
After the fall of Aaron Keener and the activation of the Rogue network, multiple Rogue Agents attempt to make alliances with scattered Outcasts, promising an new cause to fight for. Neptune, along with his Cleaner support, allied with some remnants of the Outcasts in West D.C., led by The Silent (West End), The Plague (Foggy Bottom), and The Reckless (Constitution Hall). However, Neptune is killed by The Division, crippling the Outcasts in West D.C.
With the rise of Hornet's Rogue Cell, the largest remnant of the Outcasts from all parts of D.C. joined his cause, seeking to profit off the fear and panic that would rapidly spread in the rise of the Eclipse virus. Most were rallied under the commands of Termite (Northwest D.C.), Luna (Lower Manhattan), Huntsman (East D.C.), and Titan (Southwest D.C.), or under Hornet himself. But with the death of all the major low-level leaders, rogue agents, and Hornet himself, the Outcasts scatter once again, deteriorating into small bands of roving thugs.
Finally, with the emergence of Bardon Schaeffer's rogue cell, Skyler "Belfry" Williams, with the support of the BTSU, recruits what remains of the Outcasts in Northwest D.C to cause problems for The Division in order for Black Tusk to wage proxy war on The Division. With the loss of Belfry, those that remained became aimless and disappeared back into the city once again.
With the loss of all major rallying leaders, the Outcasts have mostly deteriorated into small bands of loosely-organized bandits that attempt to hoard supplies, terrify civilians in their areas, and generally be a nuisance in D.C.
Tactics and Weapons[]
Outcasts are generally as their name suggests - they are brutal, unfeeling killers and murderers that prey on a society that they feel had left them to suffer and die on Roosevelt Island. They are more suited to hunting and torturing unarmed combatants, however can stand their ground against more dangerous foes such as Division agents. They consist of locals from varying backgrounds who have either survived the quarantine on Roosevelt Island or are sympathizers that joined the Outcast cause. As noted about their armament:
- Outcasts have access to a wide variety of military and jury-rigged weapons of their own design.
- Most weapons are older technology secured through raiding, looting, stealing and killing.
- Examples include Russian RPKs and AK-Ms, German MP5s, French FALs, and American M870s and M1911s.
- However, most of their weapons are of a more limited selection due to their ill-disciplined fighting methods.
- They also have a limited access to secondary equipment, such as WW2 Sling vests, hand torches, bandoliers, and fuel tanks.
- For the most part they utilize jury-rigged weapons that are simple and easy to use.
- Examples of this include the flamethrower, Molotovs, RC cars with sawblades, and other heavily modified civilian tech.
- They have reckless and aggressive combat tactics, advancing close to the agent, discarding cover, or simply charging towards enemies.
Rushers should be the number one priority as their suicide bombs can be lethal. Heavy Weapons are a serious threat, especially on higher difficulties as their fire can chip away an Agent's armor incredibly quickly, however can be incapacitated by shooting their ammo belts. Outcast Supports should be priority targets if there are no Heavy Weapons or Rushers nearby, as they deploy incendiary round boxes. Tanks are their own target as they have strong armor and a dangerous melee attack, but are harmless at long range. Scorchers can be disabled by shooting their fuel tank, which makes their flamethrower useless and forces them to switch to a pistol. Snipers are dangerous to distracted agents, but can be distinguished by their glowing sight when they are aiming.
