In The Division, update 1.6 brings a new difficulty level: Legendary. This is intended only for the best of you.
Last Stand and update 1.6 not only provide fresh content for PvP fans. Various PvE activities are also on the way, including a new raid. Additionally, some story missions are being enhanced: The “Legendary” difficulty is being introduced.
These are the Legendary missions in The Division
According to Massive, update 1.6 aims to provide a “real challenge” for all the hardcore agents out there. This goal is to be achieved with story missions at the “Legendary” difficulty level. These are intended to become the biggest PvE challenges in the game – even more so than the raids on Heroic.
Legendary is designed for you to test your optimized builds – as well as your tactics and teamwork. These three missions will receive “Legendary” at the launch of 1.6:
- Times Square Power Relay
- WarrenGate Power Plant
- Napalm Production Site
In the future, more story missions are set to receive the highest difficulty level.
By the way: The damage and hit points of enemies scale depending on the number of team members in your squad. It is therefore theoretically possible to complete Legendary solo. However, Massive strongly recommends venturing only in an organized group.
Hunters 2.0? What the enemies can do on Legendary
In the legendary missions, you will not encounter the familiar enemies: All previous opponents have been removed and replaced with “new, powerful, and much smarter LMB enemies” who employ advanced tactics against you and your team.
The behavior of these enemies is supposed to be influenced by how you act. They respond to your skills, your status effects, are hard to hit, and will always try to flank you. Additionally, engaging them in close combat is not advisable. The Hunters in Survival are a taste of what’s to come.
In the missions, you will encounter various enemy types. There are “normal” enemies, veterans, and elite foes. You can also expect new named bosses who come with their own behavior patterns and skills.
According to Massive, the challenge does not lie in defeating enemies with enormous hit points, but in mastering their tactics and strategies.
The rewards in Legendary mode
In addition to “normal” rewards, you will receive weekly rewards in the form of exotic containers, which guarantee Exotics.
Additionally, the Legendary mode has its own cosmetic items that are exclusive to this difficulty.
