Where to find every Hunter Mask in Division 2 Battle for Brooklyn DLC
(Image via Ubisoft) Division 2: Battle for Brooklyn DLC is full of cryptic challenges. Elite hunters here guard unique masks all across the new urban battleground, and they reward it to players, for defeating them. To unlock these coveted masks requires more than just firepower. It demands players to be keen on observation and to have some puzzle-solving skills. So, be prepared to explore Brooklyn Heights and much beyond while deciphering some environmental clues under specific conditions. Here is complete Division 2 masks guide to how you can track and hunt each of them that remains shrouded in mystery. All Hunter Masks in Division 2: Battle for Brooklyn DLC To find all Division 2 Hunter Masks in Brooklyn includes tackling distinct and location-based puzzles. Every mask—Cipher, Conqueror, Craver, Lumen, Merry, Necronos, Redtail, and Tracker needs to be triggered by a specific Hunter through some unique actions. So, expect to explore areas including the waterfront near the carousel for Merry. Make sure you complete 7 parts of the wooden horse that's scattered all across the map to spawn the hunter. Investigate buildings with some unusual features (letters on them), near the Brooklyn Bridge, and shoot letters for spelling ROBOTO, for Cipher. How to UNLOCK ALL 8 HUNTER MASK in Battle for Brooklyn DLC for the Division 2! (UPDATED GUIDE) For Tracker head to one of Dumbo's building near the central point follow zigzag motion and then rise lever for spawning hunter. On the other hand, for Craver, interact with the gas cylinders across the map. There are 4 in total, and as you collect them, head to the Brooklyn Heights Waterfront to interact with cylinders piled up on a boat. Ensure to have precision as its paramount. Your actions here will range from shooting some specific targets to assembling scattered objects or even interacting with hidden switches, quite often tied to a particular time of day. Lumen requires solving one of the Hunter Mask puzzles and it will start under the Brooklyn Bridge at night and demand that players follow blacklight graffiti. It will lead you to the hunter. Missing a step or performing actions that are not in sequence would likely result in failure. The agent must therefore thoroughly follow all cues that are discovered via exploration. For Redtail, interact with and disable different antennas all across the Brooklyn map. Then locate the underground lair of the hunter in Dumbo, deactivate the system and return out for spawning. Meanwhile, for Conqueror, all stuffed animals should be detonated. Once all 7 are detonated, head to Furman Street's Brooklyn Heights and find a stuffed monkey with many toys right beside it. Interact to spawn a hunter. Lastly, for Necronos to be spawned, all the previous hunter riddles attempted must be spawned. Once done, head to Dumbo, find Division 1 (west of Brooklyn safe house), interact with the whiteboard and head to the house's roof to fight the hunter and claim your reward. Collect rewards for being a persistent hunter Defeat all formidable foes and yield more than just the bragging rights. All hunters drop the Ash Cache key right along with their unique mask. Collect all eight keys and unlock access to the special Ash Cache that's located within the Bridge settlement. It holds the ultimate price—the Huntsman assault rifle. It is exclusive to DLC. R emember, the Huntsman comes equipped with some powerful and perfect frenzy talent. It boosts the rate of fire as well as weapon damage when reloading from empty. It alone can make conquering all 8 Hunter encounters worth it. Once it is unlocked, Cassie Mendoza might even offer some additional Huntsman rolls for further customization. Best Division 2 gameplay strategies for defeating all Hunters Hunters are the toughest enemies in Brooklyn. They use aggressive tactics, heal themselves, disrupt agent skills, and use some advanced tech, including cloaking. Here, success demands the right preparation. Lowering the world's difficulty for normal will ease the combat challenge without any impact on mask acquisition. Give priority to protection from Elite gear mods for mitigating heavy damage. Effective crowd control here is crucial. So, use gears/weapons that inflict status effects, including foam or shock, for immobilization momentarily. Keep focus on high burst damage builds for exploiting windows. Coordination in a team will significantly improve survival chances via focused fire and also revives. Just remember, skills are often disabled during fights. Now that you know how to find Hunter Masks, just rely on your positioning and gunplay. With the right prep and patience, you will be able to claim all the masks and prove dominance within Brooklyn's darkest corners. Happy hunting! Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Davy Burke: Rory Beggan is the No. 1 player in the new game
Rory Beggan is the most valuable player in Gaelic football, according to Roscommon manager Davy Burke. The Monaghan goalkeeper has kicked 0-54 in 12 competitive games in 2025, the advent of the two-pointer doubling his return from long-range frees. Burke has had to plan for Beggan on two occasions, once in the Allianz Football League in Hyde Park and then in the Division 2 decider at Croke Park. While Beggan was restricted to a single point in the Hyde, he took them for 0-07 in the latter, and Burke reckons he is one of the players who has profited the most from the FRC changes. The Roscommon manager said that the problem wasn't so much frees conceded on the edge of the arc, which referees are wary of giving, but more so when the ball is marched forward 50 metres. "We played Monaghan in the third round of the league in the Hyde and we restricted Rory Beggan to no effort at all for two pointers," Burke said on the RTÉ GAA podcast. "We beat them by five or six points. "We met them in the league final again. And we had a similar plan to restrict Beggan and I think he got four of them. "A couple of them were balls brought up (for not handing ball back), which is ridiculous really. And kickout marks, which are gone. "He's a cheat code. He's a complete cheat code. "Monaghan have the No. 1 player in this new game, in my opinion. He's the biggest threat to everybody. He could kick 0-10 in a game. He's phenomenal. "Particularly with the 50-metre rule. If you're bringing any ball up, that fella can kick the ball from 60 yards over the bar. "In fairness to the refs, they don't give away soft frees on the top of the arc. I would imagine they're discussing it themselves. "They don't tend to give you a soft free at the arc because most teams are playing for them, let's be honest about it. So, they don't tend to give you them, which is fair enough. "But the ones that are killing teams are the 50m ones. You might think a free up the field, there's no jeopardy to it. But if you stand in the way and they bring it up 50m and then the likes of a Beggan or a Niall Morgan can kick it from 60 metres and it's a real, real hammer-blow." While there were fears early on in the season that the addition of the two-pointer would result in fewer goals, this appears to have corrected itself as the campaign has progressed. Burke says that defences are now ultra attuned to pushing out on two-point shooters, which has had the inevitable knock-on effect on leaving more space inside. "You're seeing teams push out man-to-man and put pressure on the shooters out there. There's huge work going into it, from all angles, to try and exploit this two-pointer. "As things go on, we're getting a better balance between goals and two-pointers. "For a while there, people were saying we're not scoring enough goals, do we need to go back to a four-point goal? If you look at it now, we're scoring plenty of goals. "Galway and Down, how many goal chances did they miss between the two of them? "They missed six, seven or eight chances. But I think we're not programmed like this. We wouldn't have six goal chances in a championship campaign last year whereas now you have six in 20 minutes. "I think the players don't know how this is opening up in front of them. They're delighted with themselves and maybe panicking and rushing the shots. "But I think it might be next year before players get used to this and start finishing all of them."

Austin Stacks in pole position for Kerry Division 1 League title after derby win
Austin Stacks put themselves into pole position to be crowned Kerry SFL Division 1 champions in two weeks time as a second point from substitute Ben Murphy on the stroke of 60 minutes was enough to see them overcome Tralee rivals Kerins O'Rahillys 0-17 to 3-7 at Connolly Park. Both sides were level at the top on 15 points coming into Sunday afternoon's encounter as Stacks chose to start Kerry panelist Armin Heinrich while Kerins O'Rahillys chose to play Kerry's late scoring substitute against Cavan, Tomas Kennedy, in the second period. The first of two Paddy Lane two-pointers put Stacks 0-4 to 0-1 ahead after 12 minutes but Strand Road punished them on the break by scoring two goals from Daniel Bowler and Darragh O'Connor, although O'Rahillys would regret missing another two goal chances by full-time. The visitors' advantage at half-time stood at 2-5 to 0-8 but O'Rahillys failed to score in the third quarter as five unanswered Stacks points put the hosts 0-13 to 2-6 in front. Read More Kerry SHC: Late drama as gutsy Tralee Parnells grab draw and history Stacks had decided to chance some of their U21 contingent like Murphy, who face a Kerry U21 final meeting with St Kierans on Wednesday night. But it had the desired outcome although Ben Hanafin would soon end O'Rahillys' long wait for a score before Padraig Griffin got a third goal in the 52nd minute to put them 3-6 to 0-13 ahead. It looked like Strand Road might push on to win but Murphy's first point along with Niall Fitzmaurice and Sean Quilter scores gave Stacks the lead again before Conor Hayes levelled the game again at 0-16 to 3-7 on 59 minutes. Murphy remained composed though and he put Stacks back in front for the final time as four additional minutes saw Strand Road miss two potential levelers while substitute Ronan Carroll was dismissed late on for the hosts. The result means Stacks only need to avoid defeat to Laune Rangers on the last day to win Division 1, a year after winning Division 2. Kerins O'Rahillys need to defeat already relegated Glenbeigh/Glencar in their last game and hope for a favour from the Killorglin side to force a playoff for the title. Rangers are in the relegation zone themselves heading into the final day as they lost a relegation 'four-pointer' away to Rathmore, 2-16 to 1-10. They must better fellow Mid Kerry side Beaufort's result on the final day to stand a chance of staying up as Beaufort had started the weekend with a 1-14 apiece draw away to Glenbeigh/Glencar. In the last round, Beaufort face a Kilcummin side that are officially safe after a 0-23 to 1-20 draw at home to Glenflesk who are also now assured of another year in Division 1. Spa gave their hopes of staying up a major boost by defeating Dr Crokes 2-13 to 0-17 meaning they only need to avoid defeat to Glenflesk on the last day to stay up. Ballymacelligott, meanwhile, became the second side relegated from Division 1 despite putting up a good show in their return to their home pitch against Killarney Legion before going down by 0-22 to 2-14. The result means their four year stay in the top flight will end in 2026.

Louth boss Brennan on not getting the rub of the green with referee decisions
Ger Brennan says he's twice seen his Louth outfit on the receiving end of decisions against sides - but he's confident that won't happen against Donegal at Ballybofey tomorrow with Barry Cassidy in charge. Derry official Cassidy will take charge of the MacCumhaill Park All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final tie with the winner going to Croke Park next weekend and the loser's season over. Brennan, speaking to LMFM, outlined that Louth's Division 2 loss to Donegal last year at Ballyshannon and their All-Ireland group stage defeat by Kerry at Portlaoise later that season were games he felt the Wee County were hard done by. The match official for the Donegal game was Roscommon's Paddy Neilan, while the Kerry game was refereed by Conor Lane of Cork. 'I certainly rarely would whinge about referee's decisions as players have to be accountable for their own errors first and foremost and referees are only human,' said Brennan. 'There were certainly a lot of hometown decisions awarded in that league game in Ballyshannon last year. 'In looking towards this game in Ballybofey, in one way it's interesting that a Derry referee has been appointed to look after the game. 'But when I heard it's Barry Cassidy, you are confident with someone with Barry Cassidy's experience that he is not going to be overawed consciously or subconsciously by the Ballybofey crowd and that he will give Louth a fair crack of the whip. 'Again, I think I have a bit of credit built up in the bank over the last couple of seasons by not giving out about referees. 'When Louth played Kerry last year in the group stages of the All-Ireland, we were competitive. 'We were pushing hard and it's almost as if referees subconsciously - and people outside the group of Louth senior footballers - they can't believe that Louth are being so competitive and this shouldn't happen. 'And all of a sudden some big game decisions are going against you, or the opposition are getting away with rougher challenges, which Louth players are being punished for. 'I suppose I've seen that on two occasions in particular in my time so far with Louth, last year with Kerry in the group stages of the All-Ireland and certainly in the second half last year in Ballyshannon. 'But again, happy to see you have someone with Barry Cassidy's experience, that he is not going to be influenced by the Donegal sideline and Donegal supporters and that he's going to give Louth and the Donegal players a fair crack of the whip.'

Jimmy Lee knows Limerick's Tailteann Cup semi-final against Wicklow will be tough based off league battle
WITH Limerick football in bloom, Jimmy Lee's side want to make the most of another chance to ensure all is not rosy in the Garden. Lee steered the Treaty to promotion from NFL Division 4 in March. And their result against this weekend's Tailteann Cup semi-final opponents was one of the seeds of their growth. A last-gasp point from James Naughton earned the visitors a draw in Aughrim. But Wicklow will have a score to settle on Sunday as a win over Lee's men on St Patrick's weekend would have seen the Garden County finish the campaign with a sufficient points tally to return to Division 3 at Limerick's expense. Lee recalled: 'You could buckle under the pressure of being behind late in a game like that but the lads stuck hard at it. 'That result changed the mood of the whole place. You could see lads almost walking a bit lighter. Read More On GAA 'They showed an abundance of character and they've continued to do that since. 'You'd be delighted for them because they've put a lot into it. But you don't always get what you deserve in life. You have to work hard for it.' After a dalliance with life in Division 2, Limerick were on the slide by the time Lee took charge for the 2024 season. Their decline was also accelerated by a significant turnover in personnel. Compare the team who beat Wexford last weekend to the one dumped out of the 2023 Tailteann Cup by Laois and you will find only three starters common to both. Most read in GAA Football But the evidence accumulated in Lee's second season indicates that a corner has been turned. Limerick went 17 league games without a win before beating London in February. Ahead of another trip to Croke Park, their 13 fixtures so far in 2025 have produced just two defeats. 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter Lee said: 'We were struggling mentally. What they were doing on the field was very good but it wasn't coming together. 'The only thing we changed was the intensity that we trained at. 'We upped it a notch or two and then we got the result in London. I suppose it started flowing from there. You could see the pressure coming off. 'The mood has lightened as the year has gone on, especially for the senior players. 1 Lee has overseen an upturn in Limerick's fortunes 'They were carrying an awful lot of . . . baggage is probably the wrong word but an awful lot of the burden of Limerick going from Division 2 to Division 4.' Having been crowned Division 4 champions earlier this season, Lee's charges will be hoping for another successful outing at Croker. Indeed, there could be cause for Limerick celebrations on two fronts at HQ this weekend as John Kiely's hurlers will face Dublin in tomorrow's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final. That game forms part of a Dubs double-header as Dessie Farrell's footballers are also on the bill for a preliminary quarter-final against Cork. COST COMPLAINT But Limerick fans wishing to get behind their team in both codes will have to return again on Sunday and shell out an extra €30 for the privilege. Lee commented: 'I know we were down to play on Sunday. 'And to be fair, we wouldn't have been able to move it anyway because it would have been a six-day turnaround as both ourselves and Wicklow only played last Sunday. 'In fairness to the lads in the county board, they look after all that. We were just planning to play on Sunday. 'I know Limerick people would be disheartened by having to travel up and down twice if they wanted to go to both of them, which is not ideal. 'Unfortunately myself and John don't have any control over these things. There would be an abundance of support there if you had both Limerick teams on the same day. 'But for John and I, we have to keep our interest on the games and make sure we get it right on the day.'
