The Division 2's first raid, Operation Dark Hours, is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. After its launch, the World's First clear took approximately 5 hours on PC, with players working consistently to improve those numbers over the past few days. This is in direct contrast with the console experience, as the final Razorback Boss reportedly took the first Division 2 team to beat it on console 20 hours itself. Bloodshy, Inkist, Tico79, Jaqev, Hansome Lancer, Prime minister, I'm Bats, and H2K Predator then have the honor of being World's First on a console.

While console players struggle with just beating the raid, PC has managed to beat it in under 1 hour. Then, in 30 minutes. And now the leading time is 23 minutes and 40 seconds. This much was accomplished by the Division 2 DUK Clan whose members consisted of Rush-Runner, AbgottSchlanger, ArranoxTV, lolol934, Rammbob, Ravenlord-117, Werwolf538, and Y-Lou in this encounter.

This is the same DUK clan who came in second during the World's First race and have continued to set impressive numbers for the raid. Rammbob suggested that players focus on optimizing each encounter, as the final one can be beaten in 4 cycles. Another suggestion is defensive Division 2 builds, as running Bloodsucker in his 30-minute run saved him a lot of times.

At the time of this writing, developer Massive Entertainment has issued no statement of the vast disparity of the PC and console experiences. Again, to reiterate, players have managed to beat the Division 2 raid in 20 minutes, but console players practically require a full day and more to beat Operation Dark Hours. It seems highly likely that this is going to be fixed somehow, but striking that balance between the two platforms may be a little tricky.

Perhaps the trickiest part of the raid is the final Razorback boss in the Division 2 raid. It's here where the frame rate drops due to all the activity, requiring players to not only account for the final boss, but the console response to the encounter itself. Frame rate drops are the likeliest culprit in the increased difficulty of the raid on consoles, but given the technological advantages of PC players, the final verdict isn't out yet. It certainly doesn't help, though.

The Division 2 is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
