Which endgame content is particularly worthwhile after 1.4 in The Division – and what is available at all?
For a few days now, patch 1.4 has been available for free to all agents on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Some former agents have already dived back into the post-apocalyptic New York and are fighting for what is left. Some players who haven’t been active for a while may feel overwhelmed and ask themselves: What can I actually do in the endgame now? How do I progress here?
Because after this update, basically “everything” is worthwhile: Every enemy can drop the best possible loot depending on your world tier. However, to ensure you are not completely left alone in this new environment, we now provide you with a to-do list of activities you can engage in during endgame that are truly worthwhile.
Daily and Weekly Missions
Yes, these missions are indeed exciting again. Before update 1.4, they were completely useless in the endgame. Now, it is worth checking in daily and weekly in The Division to tackle these missions. Daily and weekly missions grant weapons, gear, containers, experience points, and Phoenix credits—all at maximum level. Master them!
Story Missions
You can complete the story missions over and over again. Set the difficulty to hard to gain credits, experience points, and a high-end gear piece at maximum value upon successful completion. The missions are also quite manageable solo. So if you’re out there alone, you can improve your agent with story missions. Moreover, the story missions are among the PvE content that has received the least criticism in the past. Have fun!
Incursions
In The Division, there are currently three incursions: Falcon Lost, Clear Sky, and Dragon’s Nest. These also allow items to drop at maximum score, along with several additional rewards. Incursions are more difficult than missions and are designed for a squad of four agents – therefore, the rewards are better as well.
The Dragon’s Nest incursion is only available to agents who own the Underground DLC. You can play incursions at world tier 4 in the difficulty “Challenging” and “Heroic.”
High-Rank and High-Risk Targets
These targets are now quite lucrative. We have already introduced the HVTs after update 1.4 here. There are daily and weekly high-rank and high-risk targets, through which you can quickly get good loot. On top of that, you’re exploring the open world in the process.
While you’re sprinting through the open world, you can also take down the named bosses you encounter. They also grant good items and respawn every 4 hours. You can find a map to the bosses in the open world in the provided link.
Underground Missions
The last PvE endgame activity is the Underground, which you can only play if you own the Underground DLC. It consists of randomly generated missions where you need to eliminate PvE enemies. At the end, there are rewards and Underground experience. With enough XP, you’ll level up in the Underground rank, and with each rank increase, you get an Underground container. Depending on your settings, you can adjust the difficulty and time required. Thus, the Underground operations are also quite manageable solo.
The Dark Zone
The Dark Zone is the PvP-PvE area in The Division, which can also be played in endgame. If you’re just after loot, keep in mind that other players can take the good stuff from you. Therefore, the Dark Zone also carries a high potential for frustration.
