The Division 2 Merciless exotic: how to get the Hyena rifle

How do you get Merciless in The Division 2? Exotic weapons are the reason why we grind for hours upon hours in Ubisoft’s Washington-set looter shooter, and The Division 2 Merciless Exotic is one of a selection of boomsticks that will transform your loadout in your favour and can be key to creating a number of powerful explosive damage builds So we’re going to help you get it. The Division 2 Merciless Exotic is a more powerful version of the Ruthless single shot rifle, which you can get as a pre-order exclusive. It comes packing the Guerrilla Warfare talent that really makes this weapon worthy of its name. This perk turns the first round fired into a sticky primer which, when detonated, gains 75% damage per primer detonated. The detonator deals additional damage depending on where it connects. However, only one enemy can be primed at once, and the max stack is five. It also comes with Binary Trigger - which fires the first shot when you click down, and the second shot when you release the click - so make sure you release that over a primed enemy’s weak spot. The holstered talent, Brutality, is also very strong, lending you a 5% chance to deal +20% explosive damage, which can produce some very strong builds if you pair it with the right brand sets and gear talents.
