The Pentagon mission in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is one of the most intense and rewarding experiences in the game — a multi-stage gauntlet inside one of the world’s most iconic buildings, packed with Black Tusk elites, brutal bosses, and a rooftop finale that will test every build you’ve got. Here’s everything you need to get through it clean.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Phase 1 — Restore Power Head to the elevator, force it open and jump down. Reset the breaker in the room below — you’ll need a spare fuse from one of the small side rooms. Replace the broken fuse to restore power, then continue toward the food court. Ordinary Reviews
Phase 2 — Secure the Food Court & Find Explosives Clear around a dozen Black Tusk operatives in the food court, including an elite and several explosive drones. Once the area is clear, pick up the marked explosives and plant them on the nearby door to blow it open. PSNProfiles.com
Phase 3 — Bypass Lockdown Reach the larger room via the ‘Fuel Station’ door, secure it, then head to the computer and bypass the lockdown. You’ll need to hold out for roughly 40 seconds while killing reinforcements before the lock lifts. Ordinary Reviews
Phase 4 — Boss 1: John “Architect” Figgs Download the project list from the server room computer and prepare for Figgs — he fires three grenades at a time, so stay mobile. A heavily armored minigun elite accompanies him; take that enemy out first. Ordinary Reviews
Phase 5 — Boss 2: Ben “Mega” Reinhold (EMP Fight) This is the mission’s trickiest moment. Reinhold is a Black Tusk Tank armed with a minigun, heavy body armor, a Support Station, and three EMP Jammers that continuously disable your SHD Tech. Destroy all EMP generators first — one is at Wing C, the other is a floor below and can be shot through the window — before focusing damage on Reinhold himself. FandomPSNProfiles.com
Phase 6 — Rooftop Finale: XB-31 Marauder (No Respawn Zone) On the rooftop, agents must deal with a horde of Black Tusk units alongside the XB-31 Marauder — a gargantuan drone equipped with rockets and a powerful chain gun that can shred armour in seconds. Targeting the rotor blades causes temporary immobilization, giving you a window to deal heavy damage. The Infinite ZenithFandom
Top Tips to Survive
- Always destroy EMP generators before engaging Reinhold — fighting a tank boss without your skills is a death sentence
- Stack armour regen builds are ideal for the rooftop — you won’t get a second chance in the no-respawn zone
- Use cover aggressively on the rooftop; the Marauder’s chain gun has almost no ramp-up time
- Solo players: this mission is brutal alone — bring a friend or matchmake for the rooftop section

FAQs
Q: Do I need to complete Pentagon Breach before starting the Pentagon mission?
Yes — Pentagon Breach is a required DLC side mission where you rendezvous with Agent Sanders and breach the main Pentagon building before the main mission unlocks. Fandom
Q: How do I beat Ben “Mega” Reinhold without losing all my tech?
Take out all three EMP Jammers first using line-of-sight shots before engaging Reinhold directly — your skills will be completely useless until every jammer is destroyed.
