Year 8 Season 1, aka Rise Up, is now live in The Division 2, and it brings a new batch of exotic weapons and gear for you to grind. All new Exotics have their own share of talents that make them unique to use.
This guide will provide you with a list of all the new Exotics. While some of them are immediately available, a few will be made available later throughout the season.
All Exotic weapons in The Division 2 Y8S1
There are two new Exotics that you can grind in the new season. The table below has information about both of them, along with their talents.

You also generate 100% more Threat when shooting for 20s | Optics: +10% Critical Chance Muzzle: +50% Swap Speed Magazine: +20 Rounds |

| Whiplash (Pistol) | Faster Than Reloading: Having the weapon holstered for 5s primes it. When primed, swapping to this weapon reloads your Primary and Secondary weapons.
