Rogue watches

Rogue Status is a status reserved for Division agents who have disavowed the rules of Strategic Homeland Division. These agents must be hunted down, and either killed or apprehended according to the degree of their crimes.

In the Lore[]

Rogue group

A group of rogue agents.

In the lore, Rogue Status is given to any agent who breaks protocol. When this status is given to an agent, their wristwatch will change from orange to red, and they will have their connection to the ISAC Network severed. At this point, they still retain the functionality of their watches, as they still provide a HUD overlay and basic functions. Any Division agent has a standing order to deal with Rogues should they come across one.


The BTSU's Countermeasure[]

As seen in Broken Dawn, the Black Tusk Special Unit has developed a countermeasure to ensure that any agent they are working with does not receive the automatic Rogue designation when they break the rules.


Reasons to be marked as Rogue[]

  • Failing to prevent civilians death
  • Went off mission/objective
  • Allied with other rogue agents or hostile factions
  • Killing civilians or other agents
  • Illegal torture and execution of prisoners
  • Stealing supplies
  • Kidnapping civilians


In the Dark Zone[]

Rogue Agents TD

Unlike any other areas, the Decontamination Zones (Dark Zones) have insufficient surveillance which the SHD Network are disrupted upon entering. If an agent committed treason against the Division, ISAC will mark the agent as rogue. However, since the connection to SHD Network is disrupted, these Rogue agents can manipulate ISAC into cancelling the rogue status in certain time.

In the Game[]

Rogue Status is a mechanic in the Dark Zone. This mechanic affects players who act maliciously towards another player, causing them to become targets of regular agents as well as having rewards being attached to taking them down.


Mechanic Rules and Functions[]

Rogue Status starts at Rank 0, as described below. Each time a NON-Rogue player is downed or killed by the player OR another player in the group, the rank increases by 1, to the max of Rank 5 - Manhunt Manhunt status.

While Rogue, the players location will occasionally pulse on every players minimap, unless the Rogue player is running the Scrambler mod on their Pulse skill. When Manhunt status is achieved, however, the location of the player is always shown to every player in a certain radius, and nothing can hide the players location.

Also of note, while Rogue, players are unable to access Dark Zone Safe Houses or Dark Zone Checkpoints, leaving the player unable to resupply unless they lose their Rogue status or are killed and respawn. A remedy to this situation is for Rogue players to run the Banshee Gear Set, as the 4 piece bonus allows the player to resupply their ammo every 30 seconds while Rogue.

It should be noted that killing other Rogue players do NOT increase the rank of the player. Only killing non-Rogue players increase the rank.

Timers of Rogue players stop when receiving damage from non-Rogue players. This includes Manhunts, however, the timer of Manhunts do not reset to 5 minutes when killing other players.

All skills that deal damage will prioritize non-Rogue agents over NPC enemies. For instance, a player has a Turret active which is attacking a Cleaner NPC and there is a non-Rogue agent standing in range of the Turret. The moment said player goes Rogue, the Turret will immediately stop attacking the Cleaner and will open fire on the non-rogue agent. (This will also reset the Rogue agent's timer and prevent it from counting down since the game counts this as the rogue agent being in combat despite the fact he may not be in the vicinity. Defensive skills such as Support Station, First Aid and Smart Cover will not provide their effects to non-rogue agents. (The Area of Effect of the First Aid and Support Station skill will also turn red for non-rogue agents.)

Untitled-2 Rank 3: The agent will get a 160-second timer. Timer will be reset if the agent attacks non Rogue players.

Manhunt Rank 5: The agent will get a 300-second timer. Timer will not reset if the agent attacks non Rogue players.


Rewards and Penalties[]

The more players a player downs/kills the higher the player bounty will be and the more items and XP the player will lose if killed. The player will lose more Dark Zone keys, Dark Zone Credits and Dark Zone XP and have a higher chance to drop all the players contaminated loot if the player is killed as Rogue.
