In The Division, there are now Encrypted Advent Containers in the game. How to get some of them for free, you can find out here.
Since this Friday, December 22nd, it has become a bit more festive in the post-apocalyptic New York. Because from now on you can open new encrypted containers that hold festive cosmetic items.
These are “Encrypted Advent Containers”, which cost one Cipher Key each at the Premium Vendor. Cipher Keys can be purchased with real money or crafted from key fragments that you randomly find from named bosses.
Or you can grab 5 free keys now.
Off to the Reward Vendor!
Since today, there are 5 free Cipher Keys as a gift from Massive, so you can immediately wear some festive cosmetics. However, these Cipher Keys are not immediately in your inventory – you must pick up the gift first.
- When you enter the Operations Base through the main entrance, go directly to the left. Pass the Weapon Vendor and the Gear Vendor. The next vendor is the Reward Vendor.
- Talk to the Reward Vendor and select the “Resource” tab in the upper right. There you will see the keys that you can now collect.
- Now go to the terminal, where in the back corner clearly marked is the Premium Vendor. Select “Encrypted Containers” there. In this overview, you will see the Encrypted Advent Containers.
Inside such a container are three random items. These can be backpack skins, weapon skins, and other cosmetics – and new items from the Advent Collection. You can find the Advent Collection in your inventory under “Appearance”. Go to “Collections” and scroll down where the Advent Collection is listed. It consists of
- an Advent Scarf
- Advent Shoes
- an Advent Jacket
- Advent Pants
- an Advent Hat
If you equip all items, you have a top-notch Santa Claus costume.
Note: The Advent containers will be available in the game until January 11, 2018.
