Trapped in the Big Apple? Escape to D.C. in The Division 2 (Without Getting Mugged by Hyenas)
So, Agent, you traded the cherry blossoms for Central Park pigeons and now you're itching to get back to the familiar filth of D.C. Don't worry, we've all been there. New York might have its charm (giant mutant spiders aside), but sometimes you just gotta go back to the good ol' White House.
Here's the lowdown on ditching the hot dog stands and heading back to the irradiated wasteland... I mean, majestic capital.

Facing the Facts: You Can't Leave Until You Clean Up NYC (Kinda)
Let's be blunt, Agent. You can't just hop on a Greyhound bus out of here. Not unless you want Aaron Keener himself to chase you down with a rogue-ish grin. You gotta finish the Warlords of New York campaign. Yes, yes, I know, another rogue agent to take down. But hey, at least the view from Liberty Island is nice... ish.
Pro-tip: Don't worry, you can smash through the story pretty quickly if you just focus on main missions. Think of it as a whirlwind tour of New York's underbelly with a healthy dose of bullet therapy.
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
Freedom Fries and Fast Travel: Heading Back to D.C.
Once Keener's toast and you've reveled in the glorious victory cutscene, here's the good news: Getting back to D.C. is a breeze. You don't even need to find a working subway (trust me, you wouldn't want to).
- Open your map.
- Look directly above the fancy New York map. See that little picture of the White House? That, my friend, is your ticket back to civilization (well, as civilized as D.C. gets these days).
- Click on that glorious miniature White House.
- BAM! You're back in the swamp... I mean, the nation's capital. Breathe deep that sweet, polluted air. You're home (-ish).
Remember: This only works after you've finished the Warlords of New York campaign. Don't try this before you've put Keener in his place, or you might end up back in New York with a very grumpy rogue agent on your tail.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can also fast travel to any unlocked safe house in D.C. Why not make a grand entrance at the Haven instead?
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
F.A.Q. Escaping the Big Apple Agent Edition
How to get back to D.C. before finishing the Warlords of New York campaign?
Sorry, Agent. Orders are orders. You gotta clean up New York first. Think of it as a learning experience (and a chance to loot some sweet new gear).
How do I know when I'm finished with the Warlords of New York campaign?
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.

There will be a glorious victory cutscene where you (hopefully) look heroic. You'll also be able to freely roam New York and D.C.
How long does it take to finish the Warlords of New York campaign?
Depends on your playstyle, Agent. If you just focus on main missions, it can be done in a few hours. But hey, there's a whole new map to explore!
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
Can I go back and forth between New York and D.C. after finishing the campaign?
Absolutely! You're free to revisit the neon lights of New York whenever you get tired of staring at the Washington Monument (don't worry, we all get that way sometimes).
Is there a faster way to travel between New York and D.C.?
Nope! Fast travel is the only way. Unless you enjoy swimming across the Hudson with a horde of Rikers hot on your heels. Not recommended.
Now get out there, Agent, and liberate D.C. from whatever new threat awaits. Just remember, a hero's work is never done (especially not in a post-apocalyptic D.C.).
