Agents, get ready for the 2025 Winter Event in The Division 2, running from December 16 to January 6. After a year filled with seasons, collaborations, and new content, this event brings thrilling challenges and community goals—along with a festive spirit that might take players by surprise.
Key Details of the Winter Event
The event introduces the notorious Krampus, targeting SHD Agents who stray off course. Players face packs of Krampuslauf Named Enemies, and defeating these foes can lead to a coveted Krampusnacht bounty. Successfully eliminating Krampus awards loot, including the White Krampus Mask and Winter Keys.
Festive Twists Await Players
Three distinct caches await at the Event Vendor, available for Winter Keys:
Winter Apparel Cache: Exclusively offers festive outfits, including the Police Navidad Leather Bomber and Dark Krampus Uniform.
Winter Gameplay Cache: This cache contains useful items, including Named Items and Exotic Weapons. Standouts here feature the Bell Ringer LMG.
Winter Apparel Caches can also be opened with Winter Apparel Keys, which can be purchased for 100 Premium Credits each.
"All I want for Christmas is level 5 CP's and rogue agents for supply drops," shared one eager player, expressing excitement for what’s to come.
Community Challenge Sparks Collaboration
Gamers are not just on individual quests; a community challenge encourages collective action. The goal? Donate 1,000,000 Winter Keys to unlock the exclusive White Krampus Outfit. Players can earn milestone rewards as they contribute:
Bronze Arm Patch for donating 10 keys

Gold Arm Patch for 30 keys
Significantly, players noted mixed experiences with drops. One stated, "I’ve had 6 or 7 Krampuslauf encounters, yet no keys were dropped. Does it work? How?"
