We have finally reached the point where we can obtain the Sheriff to add to our collection in The Division 2.
With the arrival of Scout 12, we can finish the Climax mission, which is key to getting the Sheriff. This exotic shotgun surely packs a punch, but obtaining it isn’t so simple (unless you want to rely entirely on luck).
This guide will help you complete all the steps necessary to obtain the gun.

How to get the Sheriff in The Division 2
To have a chance of getting the Sheriff, you have to complete the United Ironworks mission on any difficulty. However, if you complete the mission on Master difficulty, the drop is guaranteed.
The Scout missions of the Mutiny season have three HVTs to take down. All the missions must be completed for you to gain access to the United Ironworks mission.
The Division 2 United Ironworks walkthrough (Sheriff Exotic)
The steps of United Ironworks are the same, irrespective of the difficulty level.
Foundry Tracks
United Ironworks takes place on the Iron Horse Raid map, but there’s a twist. The map has been reversed. The action begins at the field where the Morozova fight takes place. Clear the hostiles and hack the Avenger cannon to complete this part, and then proceed on to Railway Yard. There are plenty of enemies to take down here, so be careful.
Railway Yard
Multiple hostiles are waiting for you at the Railway Yard. A part of the path will have molten lava that will burn you. Eliminate the enemies and open two valves, then shoot the container above the lava to extinguish it. The valves are located right below the broken bridge.
Foundry Core
This part of the mission involves working with the reactor. Go to the top of the reactor with the help of the chains and interact with the Diagnostics Control Panel. Open the valves and interact with the colored control panels. Open the lava gates after five interactions. Shoot the circles on the sides of the gate, which will open the lava gates.
Finally, shoot the small lock when it’s turned to the middle, and then break the lava gates. A boss will eventually arrive, and you have to kill it to complete this stage.
Fallen Cranes
Kill all the enemies and shoot the yellow boxes in this area to proceed to the Sewers. One of the boxes is near the locked door from where you’ll proceed to the Sewers.
The other box is in the building opposite the locked door. Since it’s at a far distance, use a weapon with decent range.
Sewers
You have to reach the far end of the left platform and interact with the machine inside the fenced area. This lowers the water, and then proceed to the right platform. Before you can use the platforms to reach Sand Forge, you’ll have to clear all the enemies.
Sand Forge
Before you can leave the Sewers and reach Sand Forge, some True Sons will try to stop you. Take them down, and you’ll get access to Sand Forge (the final section).
The Sand Forge area requires you to clear multiple waves until you’ve cooled down the highlighted areas on the floor. To do so, you’ll have to use water cannons at the end of the Forge.
Once done, Lieutenant Arden will appear. While Arden has a massive health pool, you can use the water canons against him. Once the canons are ready, you can detonate them to spray water on him. This will remove the damage mitigation buff, and he takes more damage.
Once the mission is complete, head to the extract, and you’ll have the Sheriff in your inventory. Do note that the entire quest is quite difficult, and it’s better to bring a friend with you.
