The Division 2: Warlords of New York Reviews
Warlords of New York is easily the best expansion for the game to date. With fresh foes, a new portion of New York to explore, great gear, and some brand new reasons to care about loot, it delivers on its lofty promises. Now, we just need Massive to settle in and swat some of these bugs…
The Division 2 Warlords of New York is the cherry on top of Massive's looter. The return to New York is a confident one, where overhauled systems improve and clarify build diversity. While the new play space is underutilized, forward-thinking endgame content will surely drive engagement for the long haul.
Overall I was thoroughly impressed with my time spent in The Division 2 Warlords of New York.
Needless to say, if you enjoyed The Division 2 and are looking for more content to stick your teeth into, consider The Division 2: Warlords of New York an essential purchase.
Warlords of New York is a solid campaign, one that brings a four-year story arch to its conclusion, allowing fans to see what awaits them once Keener is down and out, giving us a glimpse of what the future is and what it seems to be. For now, however, there's a lot to take in and let settle after the conclusion to the expansion which will leave players craving more at the end of the day.
There are no two ways about getting the expansion if you are already a fan of the game. It adds so much to the vanilla experience that going back to an expansion-less version seems like a foreign idea. While many of these changes will undoubtedly filter their way down to those of you who are holding out on the expansion, the value is there in both the new setting, the expansive new story, and the first free seasonal pass and level 30 boost.
Warlords Of New York has once again raised the standard of the exciting and enticing gameplay of Division series and created several breathtaking and tactical hours of gameplay. The design of the new stages is superb. This is in addition to the addition of several new layers to the previously unreleased Endgame content of The Division 2, which affects almost every aspect of the game due to the increase in level cap, new catches, new campaigns and stages, and more. However, the biggest disadvantage of this package is the way it has been released; it's definitely worth $30 because of the new Endgame map and content, but the policy of buying a DLC per account is not that interesting. This is what divides the players on the game map and, more than anything annoys the older players.

Ultimately, when all is said and done, Warlords of New York is an improved version of The Division 2, but it's not a complete revamp.
A strong story and brilliant RPG systems make Warlords of New York a real shot in the arm for The Division 2, but a lot of initial excitement is soaked up by bullet-sponge enemies in the endgame.
A fun, fairly brief campaign that offers plenty of memorable scenarios and a suite of improvements that turn The Division 2 into a true contender for the looter shooter throne.
Warlords of New York is a welcome addition to The Division 2 and it probably marks the most fun I've had with the series to date. While some content falls a little flat, each one of the special encounters is a manic and explosive experience that will bring you to the edge of your seat. The quality of life changes, including the refined loot systems, also breathe life back into one of last year's more enjoyable looter-shooter titles.
Massive brings us back to the Big Apple in an expansion that has everything ... albeit in small quantities.

Warlords of New York proves to be an enticing and rewarding addition to one of last year's best shooters, and is certainly worth a return trip to Manhattan.
Warlords delivers a huge step forward for The Division 2, fixing a lot of the problems that have been around for a long time, bringing some much-needed variety into the map. The big city creates tighter and more chaotic fights, adding to the experience. With the new missions and Skills for players to try it breathes some fresh air into the game. The new rewards system helps make players feel valued for their time invested, and this is great for the elite among us. It is well worth jumping back into the game to explore New York once again and finally hunt down Aaron Keener.
Warlords of New York is a massive leap forward for The Division 2, a fun diversion that aims to be less repetitive and more engaging. There's a big picture being developed here, one that'll make the trademark grind of The Division 2 more addictive than ever before as civil war rages on in the streets of the divided states of America.
A new content expansion adds to a solid, fun cover shooter which improves the overall loot game by simplifying the skill and perk system, and is best played with friends.
What The Division 2 needed was some solid new content to entice elapsed and new players, and refinements to its core mechanics to please those who have stuck with it- and Warlords of New York delivers on both fronts.
Where the new dynamic weather system can see a bright and sunny afternoon walking through the ruins of Wall Street turn into a thunderstorm of unpredictability and volatility – reminiscent of the marketplaces the location once held.
There is no doubt that Warlords of New York is a worthy expansion of The Division 2. It includes an interesting open-world, multiple impressive Boss fight, and a brand-new loot system. It might be the best DLC of the entire The Division series.
