How to get the Apex Protocol gear set in The Division 2
Apex Protocol arrived with Echoes of Central Park, the Division 2 DLC released on 3 November 2026.
The 5 Central Park Guardians are the only enemies that drop its pieces.
Every Guardian kill rolls for a piece, so a full set means repeat runs.
A PRO can farm the Guardians on your account until all 6 pieces sit in your inventory.

Before the farm: the DLC and its Central Park campaign
You need 
Echoes of Central Park. The park it adds is the home of every Guardian.
Play the DLC campaign to its end. That is when the Guardians open, each with a lair somewhere in the park.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Own the Echoes of Central Park DLC |
| 2 | Finish its Central Park campaign |
| 3 | Hunt the 5 Guardians, lair by lair |
| 4 | Repeat the Guardians until the set is complete |
How the Guardian hunt works
Each Guardian lives in its own part of Central Park, and every run follows the same 4 steps.
- Find the lair. Explore the Guardian's part of the park until its lair is marked.
- Draw the Guardian out. Fight in that part of the park until the Guardian shows up.
- Beat it. Every Guardian you beat can drop an Apex Protocol piece.
- Raise the difficulty. Testers report more pieces on Heroic than on lower settings.
Drops are random on every difficulty. Pick the highest setting you can clear at a steady pace.
Apex Protocol set bonuses: 2, 3 and 4 pieces
The set mixes gun damage with skill damage. Here is what each step adds.
| Pieces | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 2 | +10% Weapon Damage, +10% Skill Damage |
| 3 | +15% Weapon Handling, +15% Hazard Protection |
| 4 | Apex Engine |
The backpack talent adds 5% armor on kill and 10% skill damage per Apex Engine bonus stack.
The chest talent works at maximum Apex Engine stacks: enemies your skills damage are marked for 10 seconds, and you deal 20% amplified damage to them.
