The Division Resurgence Details 2 PvP Modes, Including 20-Player Dark Zone

3 articles · Updated · Dot Esports · Aug 5

Summary

  • The Division Resurgence limits PvP to two dedicated modes—Dark Zone and Conflict—while keeping the regular open world free of player-versus-player combat.
  • Dark Zone is a 20-minute PvEvP extraction mode for up to 20 players, where PvP starts only if agents go Rogue, and defeated players can respawn before the run ends.
  • Conflict offers pure 4v4 PvP focused on objectives and kills, including a Domination variant, with matches awarding Conflict XP, gear and upgrade materials.
  • Gear progression shapes the experience: Dark Zone can still be worthwhile for loot without constant fighting, while Conflict is better suited to late-game players with stronger equipment.
