Title Update 16

Title Update 16 is an update that was released for Tom Clancy's The Division 2 on September 13, 2022.
A new manhunt has begun with the launch of Season 10: Price of Power!
There's a lot to go through, so grab your Kerman Coffee and pull up a chair, we've got some new intel for you.
== Manhunt ==
A lot has happened during Season 9, and there's something bigger brewing in Season 10: Price of Power.
We need to track down the latest target, General Peter Anderson. He's power hungry and looking to secure his position in the True Sons as Antwon Ridgeway's successor. This puts him in a position to build an alliance strong enough to take down The Division.
Anderson is looking to mend the relationship between the Black Tusk and the True Sons, so it is up to us to locate and eliminate the threat that Anderson poses.
This season will also reveal more about the connection between Captain Fredrick Lewis and Manny Ortega. Furthermore, we'll be diving deeper into the origins of the True Sons. If you haven't caught up with the in-game audio collectibles scattered around the open world: the True Sons originated from former Joint Task Force (JTF) members.
== Calendar ==
For those of you who participated in the manhunt during Season 9: Hidden Alliance, you're most likely familiar with the new Manhunt Mechanics that were introduced. However, if this is your first season in The Division 2: Warlords of New York, or if you missed out on the last season: Manhunt targets are now taking over main missions in the campaign!
Whilst we don't want to divulge too many spoilers, we can let you in on a little inside intel we gathered: your Prime Target mission objective is not set in D.C.
== Countdown ==
Countdown is our new endgame mode for The Division 2 released with Season 9. Agents are deployed into a power plant to prevent a lockdown. Whilst racing against the clock, agents must secure the site and stabilize the power plant. Whilst preparing for extraction, agents are suddenly pursued by heavily armed and technologically advanced hostiles.
=== New Difficulties ===
