Tom Clancys The Division 2 Easter Egg • Watch Dogs

By Adecool


It seems that Aiden Pearce, the hacker protagonist of the original Watch Dogs game from Ubisoft, also exists in the world of The Division 2. In some of the Found Footage looted from the White House, a clip named 'Outcast Leader' seems to show Pearce engaging in a trial of one of the men responsible for the initial outbreak. The first figure to step forward in the execution wears the same style of jacket and hat as the Watch Dogs' protagonist, potentially narrating his path after the smallpox outbreak.

Discworld

By Adecool

One story mission will take you into the Space Administration HQ after you reach level 12, in which two Easter eggs can be located. First, along the route towards the conclusion of the story mission, you may spot an alien figure lurking behind a stack of boxes. While you can't reach the alien, it doesn't react to your presence, suggesting that it comes in peace. Further in, you may come across a set of locked doors that lead into a side-area, which can be opened by engaging with the computer consoles in that room. Once the doors are unlocked, you can enter what appears to be some sort of laboratory, within which you will find the absurd flat-Earth world of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, complete with four elephants supporting the Earth, standing on top of a turtle.

Alligator in the Sewers

By Adecool

In the same sewers of West Potomac Park, you can find another inhabitant of the sewers, this time in reference to the 1980 film Alligator. This massive alligator is further into the sewers, with a set of iron bars separating you from the reptile. Even if you fire your weapon at it, the alligator won't attack you, and your rounds don't seem to inflict much damage.

For Honor

By Adecool

After you've unlocked the Theater settlement, by completing the mission with Recruit Grace Larson, one section of tents is littered with recognizable Ubisoft titles. In particular, you might find children playing the 2017 third-person action For Honor on a screen in the camp; which is surprising, considering that For Honor is rated Mature. In addition, next to to the screen, a pile of board games seems to reference a handful of other Ubisoft titles, including the 2015 adventure platformer Grow Home and the 2006 multiplayer Rayman Raving Rabbids. It's not clear why Ubisoft managed to achieve a monopoly on gaming in the post-apocalypse, but it's good to see that their marketing works even after the end of the world.

Red Storm Entertainment

By Adecool

In Downtown East, it seems the Ubisoft studio Massive Entertainment has referenced one of their sister studios, the North Carolina-based Red Storm Entertainment. If you travel to the far East of this area, you can find the remains of a bright red food truck in an open square, emblazoned with 'Smokey North Carolina Style BBQ' on the side of the truck. The centerpiece of their menu features the 'Red Storm Tray BBQ', directly referring to the Ubisoft studio, and potentially marking an inside joke between the two studios. The North Carolina BBQ food truck has long since been abandoned, however, so you won't be able to loot any of that glorious food for your settlements.
