Black Division

The Black Division is a highly skilled, mysterious, and elite tactical unit in Escape from Tarkov lore, primarily acting as the clandestine, elite "cleanup crew" for TerraGroup. Known for appearing in the Raid series (Episode 5) and appears as a major threat only on the Terminal map, they represent a professional, western-equipped force that annihilates all witnesses.
