A mask for the face in The Division? Update 1.7 finally introduced these new cosmetic items!
Although Update 1.7 lacks fresh activities, it brought many new cosmetic items to the shared-world shooter. Most of these, such as outfits, skins, or emotes, can be found in the Encrypted Containers at the premium vendor. However, if you want masks that cover your entire face, you must dive into the Global Events.
These cosmetic masks (not to be confused with the masks considered armor pieces) are the “biggest secret” of Update 1.7. Massive teased them but provided neither specific information nor screenshots.
Now that Update 1.7 is live, many agents are wondering how to obtain the masks. Community Manager Yannick Banchereau provides the answer in the Reddit forum.
How to Get the Face Masks
You can get the masks only through “Global Event leaderboard rewards.” When you go to the Terminal, you’ll find a new section on the left dedicated solely to global events. There, you’ll see a laptop where you can view the leaderboard.
According to Banchereau, the more masks you get (up to 3), the higher your rank is. The first mask is available if you are among the top 85% of global event participants. Here are the rewards:
- Top 85% – 31%: One Global Event Container and one mask
- Top 30% – 11%: 2 Global Event Containers and 2 masks
- Top 10%: 3 Global Event Containers and 3 masks
Global Events take place once a month and last for a week. This means you have to put in the effort during that week to earn masks! The hour in which you collected the most GE Credits counts in the end.
In direct response, Banchereau stated that this GE leaderboard is currently the only way to obtain masks. Once the event is over, you’ll have to wait until the next global event, which will bring new masks.
In this trailer, you can see some masks. We have marked the spot for you:
