Shields Info (from The Division Stream)
Sorry if this was already known, but just caught this on stream:
- Launch tomorrow in the Division 1, unlocks rewards for The Division 1 and The Division 2.
- They are new challenges in the game.
- Some will be retroactive. If you've already accomplished them, they pop immediately.
- Some will not be, forcing you to go out and do some activities.
- Shields will get progressively harder. The first 4 are to get players engaged with the system/game again.
- 1st one is unlock the base of operations (likely retroactive for everyone). Other ones: avenger: (kill 10 named bosses in the open world (LZ), 10 in the dark zone, 10 in west side piers. Deadeye: complete all of the weekly HVTs in any given week. Hazard: clear 25 landmarks in the DZ.
- Another 8 will be added as they move towards The Division 2 launch.
- Shields are account wide (can switch characters if you want), but some of the rewards go to the specific character you are playing when you complete the shield.
- Each shield unlock has an associated patch (vanity item) and audio log.
- Once they are live, they stay live (aka you don't have a short time period to complete these shields).
- Shield Encrypted Cache:gives you 1 exotic, 2 classified gear set pieces, 2000 phoenix credits, 500 div tech, and 3 cypher keys (Thanks for the assist in the comments).
- Shields divided into tiers (4 tiers). They unlock in The Division 2: Tier 1: unique weapon skin, Tier 2: outfit/vanity patch. Tier 3: Emote and backpack dye. Tier 4: trophy (something hanging off your backpack, etc.).
