My understanding is that in order to do Search and Destoy missions in 1.2 you have to complete all Encounters and side missions in the game.
My Problem as well as some of my friends problem more than 6 people for sure
"Return to the Midtown East Safe House Side mission is bugged.
No matter who the group leader is or who's map we are looking at.
I don't know many peoples maps that have this side mission completed.
I have also heard of other side missions but this is the one i have seen most frequently even on random Matchmaking peoples maps they are also bugged
New open-world activities
Search and Destroy missions
Search and Destroy (S&D) missions can be accepted from the Situation Board in the different Safe Houses.
You can only accept S&D missions, once you have cleared all Encounters and Sidemissions of a District.
There is an exclamation point next to the Save House, when new missions are available
S&D missions are random events that spawn on the map and your mission is to kill a group of mobs.
Each time you clear the S&D missions, you get an Intel Token. When you have cleared every mission of a District, you get additional two Intel Tokens.
My understanding is that in order to do Search and Destoy missions in 1.2 you have to complete all Encounters and side missions in the game.If a district has bugged side missions, that district will not have any S&D missions until it's fixed, but all the other cleared districts' S&D missions should work fine.You can only accept S&D missions, once you have cleared all Encounters and Side missions of a District.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but when you return to the safehouse, there is a set of lockers whereby you have to collect a reward. Then the mission clears. Simply returning to the safe house isn't itself the mission. Be advised.
EDIT: The lockers are to the left of the two guys conversing over the table next to your stash. To their left. Collect your reward and it'll clear the mission.
