When New York fell, some waited for rescue.
The Freemen were already ready.
Watch the origin story of Arthur King, leader of the Freemen, and discover how preparation turned into power in The Division Resurgence.
Born inside a network of preppers long before the outbreak, the Freemen believed one thing above all else: the system will fail. Scientists, engineers, builders, and craftsmen pooled their knowledge and supplies, disappearing into the shadows as Manhattan locked down.
While other factions fought openly, the Freemen survived by staying invisible — scavenging, repairing, and building everything they needed to endure.
Until one day, what should have been a simple raid on a JTF stockpile turned into a deadly firefight. Among the casualties was Arthur King’s son, a tragic loss that forever changed the faction’s path.
Under King’s leadership, the Freemen abandoned neutrality and embraced aggression. They raid, scavenge, and take what they need. They modify everyday items and tools into brutal improvised weapons of war. They recognize no government, no law, no authority beyond their own. To the Freemen, survival is not about morality — it’s about usefulness.
This faction operates under a strict meritocracy: every member must prove their value. Those who can build sturdier or design smarter rise through the ranks.
Led by a council known as the Conclave, the Freemen believe intelligence and efficiency matter more than strength or empathy. In their eyes, freedom belongs only to those capable of earning it.
Face the Freemen in The Division Resurgence
Today, the Freemen are no longer hidden. They are one of the most dangerous forces operating in New York — independent, heavily armed, and utterly convinced the world belongs to them.
Watch Arthur King’s story above and prepare to face a faction that didn’t just survive the collapse — it prepared for it.
