In The Division, there are new tasks in the Open World since update 1.2 that drop delicious loot: High-Value Targets and High-Risk Targets. We tell you what you need to know about it.
After the agents have completed the story and reached max level 30, they had very little to do in the Open World. While they could search for collectibles and repeatedly complete daily missions, most of them lost motivation to explore the post-apocalypse after just a few days.
With update 1.2, the Open World is revived: “Search and Destroy” missions and High-Value Targets in The Division take you to places in this world that you probably haven’t been to often or maybe even never. These new tasks are not just fillers: You can grab the best loot in the game here!
What “Search and Destroy” missions in The Division are about
Before you can eliminate High-Value Targets, you must first locate them. “Search and Destroy” missions serve this purpose:
- These missions are only available once your agent reaches level 30 and you have completed all side missions and fights in a district.
- If this is the case, you can go to the corresponding safehouse and visit the mission board for the “Search and Destroy” missions. By interacting with it, you will receive three missions which you can complete in any order.
- Now head out into the Open World for these three missions and eliminate a certain number of enemies. As a reward, you will receive target data.
- You need the target data to unlock the quests for High-Value Targets. You can view how much data you have collected so far in your inventory under the “Backpacks” tab.
- Once you have completed the three “Search and Destroy” missions, return to the safehouse at the mission board. There you will now receive a reward.
- For additional missions, you can activate new ones in the same safehouse or travel to another safehouse to eliminate enemies there.
- On the map, an area is marked as “critical”. Complete missions here to gain bonus target data.
According to Massive, these missions are well-suited for a fresh “level 30” agent to efficiently increase their gear score. Primarily, you need to complete these quests so you can focus on the High-Value Targets.
How to eliminate High-Value Targets
Once you have collected enough target data, you can take on the High-Value Targets:
- To do this, head to the operations base and turn into the security wing. There you will meet the “Officer for daily High-Value Targets” and the “Officer for weekly High-Value Targets”. They are waiting with 6 daily and four weekly HVT missions for you.
- At these new vendors, you can now invest the target data you have collected. A mission costs between 5 and 40 data. The more expensive it is, the harder it will be, but the better the rewards.
- The missions come with additional info: Along with a short description, the recommended gear score and the level of the enemies are provided. It is usually recommended that you proceed in a group.
- If you are doing the missions with a team, it is sufficient if only one member invests the target data.
- You can only have one High-Value Target active at a time. If you die, you must return to the base and pick up the mission again. The target may now be located in a different area.
These are the High-Risk Targets
The officer for the weekly high-value targets has two missions for High-Risk Targets. These offer you the best loot in the game!
- However, the High-Risk Targets cost the most target data and are not easy to master.
- If you fail, this mission will expire, and you will have to gather the necessary target data again. Additionally, you have only a limited time for these targets. After that, the mission expires.
