Global Event #5: Blackout Is Here
https://ubistatic19-a.akamaihd.net/r...der_322050.jpg
The newest Global Event—Blackout—has arrived with new modifiers, vanity masks, and another chance at Classified gear-sets!
- Start: April 23, 08:00 AM UTC
- End: April 30, 08:00 AM UTC
The following modifiers are live during Blackout:
- Blackout—Always active. Agents are equipped with Shock Ammo that stuns enemies. Shooting or running builds your Charge meter. The more Charge, the more damage you inflict.
- Extreme Blackout—Blackout behavior, plus you can instantly kill enemies with Overcharged melee attacks, but if you miss you will stun yourself and your allies.
- Total Blackout—Extreme Blackout behavior, plus your Charge meter will cool down faster when close to other group members.

Agents now have an opportunity to earn the following Classified gear-sets:
- Classified DeadEye
- Classified D3-FNC
- Classified Striker's Battlegear
- Classified Tactician's Authority
No Global Event would be complete without vanity items. The Vulcan, Tao, and Rictus facemasks make their way into The Division and can be earned by completing Blackout-specific Commendations.

GE extension with gear change
Ubi,
We all greatly appreciate the time extension for the global event, but can you change the available gear sets for the 2nd half of the event. Another possibility is to open up the cache to drop all sets not just the 4 specific ones you can target. I have been able to gather all the target sets but now don't have a reason to collect GE credits. Having the ability to get all sets from the random cache would greatly enhance players ability to get caught up on classified sets as well as give a reason to keep playing GE events and gathering credits.
Please open other sets during the 2nd half of the GE event.
Thank
Black6
