Crafting exotic gear in The Division 2 requires agents to track down specific components scattered across Washington D.C., each tied to unique high-level challenges. Among these vital crafting materials is the Ornate Leather Holster, a key component needed to construct the iconic Dodge City Gunslinger Exotic Holster. Understanding how to trigger the drop and clear the corresponding faction threat ensures a smooth progression toward completing your exotic collection.

Understanding the Ornate Leather Holster Requirements

To begin farming for the Ornate Leather Holster, players must first initiate the exotic quest line by purchasing the intel project from the White House vendor. Once the initial quest stage is completed by obtaining the Fast Leather Belt, the next phase demands capturing specific faction strongholds. The Ornate Leather Holster specifically requires defeating a named Hyena boss during a high-difficulty territory takeover.

You must elevate a Hyena-controlled territory to Alert Level 4, which corresponds to Heroic difficulty in the open world. Successfully clearing enemy waves at this level forces a special named cowboy boss to spawn during the final defensive sequence. Eliminating this target drops the requested component directly onto the battlefield for collection.

Locating Hyena Control Points for the Drop

Agents seeking this crafting item must focus their attention exclusively on districts controlled by the Hyena faction. Areas such as Downtown East and Judiciary Square frequently feature active Hyena strongholds that can be leveled up. Completing connected open-world activities like public executions or resource meeta-ups increases the alert level of nearby spots.

Once the chosen site reaches level four, prepare your gear setup for intense close-quarters combat against aggressive enemies.

Maintaining proper distance and utilizing heavy crowd control skills will keep the Hyena rushers at bay.

Completing the Dodge City Gunslinger Holster

Acquiring the Ornate Leather Holster fulfills one third of the major faction component hunt required for the project. Agents must also collect the Inverted Leather Holster from the True Sons and the Oiled Hammer Guards from the Outcasts under identical Level 4 conditions. Gathering all three pieces allows you to unlock the final showdown objective northeast of the White House.

After completing the high-noon confrontation, return to the Base of Operations to submit your materials and secure the blueprint. Combined with standard crafting materials and spare gear pieces, you can finalise the exotic item at your bench. The resulting holster provides powerful sidearm reload talents and high armor utility for pistol-focused playstyles.
