Following the events of the previous game, JD, Del, and Marcus are officially reinstated in the COG Army along with Kait, who is given the rank of Corporal. Reformed as the new Delta Squad, they travel to the ruins of Azura at Baird's request in order to launch a Hammer of Dawn satellite in an effort to restore the Hammer of Dawn network to use against the Swarm. Despite Swarm resistance, the launch is successful and they return to the COG capital, New Ephyra, but find out from Baird that he still cannot locate the other satellites. Jinn finds out about the launch and orders them not to restore the network, since it would go against the wishes of the late Anya Stroud, who had decided to permanently decommission the Hammer of Dawn. Jinn then receives word that Settlement 2 is under attack and sends JD's squad to assist the evacuation. Accompanying them in defending the settlement are Cole, Clayton Carmine, his niece Lizzie, and Fahz, JD and Del's former squad mate. While fighting through the city, it is revealed JD, Del, and Fahz we're previously deployed in Settlement 2 to stop a violent protest which resulted in Fahz ordering his DeeBee's to fire at protestors, spurring JD and Del to go AWOL.In a heated moment during the fighting, Fahz reveals to Del that he was only following JD's orders, causing Del and Kait to lose trust in JD. As the Swarm attacks intensify and threaten to destroy the evacuation convoy, JD orders Baird to fire the Hammer of Dawn prematurely. While the Swarm forces are annihilated, the Hammer of Dawn malfunctions and begins firing wildly. JD saves a group of civilians trapped in a damaged Minotaur but is badly injured after failing to save Lizzie from being killed by the Hammer Strikes.
