How to Get The Division 2’s Savage Wolverine Assault Rifle?
The Savage Wolverine is acquirable by completing Field Research in The Division 2. Unfortunately getting the new High End Savage Wolverine blueprint is not as simple as completing any old Field Research you actually have to complete 4/5 stages of the somewhat difficult Firewall Field Research set. To help you in your quest to get this weapon I’ve linked a good video above from YouTuber ColdBwoyy that highlights everything you need to know about getting this new high end.
Savage Wolverine Blueprint Stage Requirements
If you don’t wish to follow the video you can see the stages you need to complete to unlock the Savage Wolverine Blueprint in the list below. If you have friends I highly recommend completing these stages with them as it will greatly lower the time needed.

What Perks does the Savage Wolverine have?
Like other named weapons in The Division 2, the Savage Wolverine features a unique talents specific to this weapon. This talent revolves around kill distance and buffing your damage:
- Perfectly Close & Personal: Killing a target within 10m grants +50% weapon damage for 10s.
Unlike the new Chameleon the Savage Wolverine is actually worth the effort to acquire. The unique talent it posses is rather strong and can shred enemies when used to its full potential.
That’s all you need to know to acquire the Savage Wolverine. While the stages you need to complete seem a bit daunting, the effort put in to acquire the Savage Wolverine is definitely worth it. Currently this gun is one of the better weapon’s in The Division 2.
