    Am I missing something?

    So, I have been away awhile, having got to the 30 level cap in PvE, and now returning months later I saw the changes made, one of whigh is the daily and weekly HVT (High Value Target) vendors offering the aforementioned targets as mini missions.

    Anyway, I've finished all the "story" missions, all the side missions (denoted by the little light blue hexagonal shape on the map), and having done various other bits and bobs I have 35 Intel thingys (technical term) which you use to purchase the contracts.

    My problem is that I simply cannot select a contract.

    I move over it, clearly have sufficient funds to buy the contract, especially as the first few daily ones are 5 Intel, and as I said I have 35, and I push X (I'm on ps4) and nothing happens.
    No recognition of my purchase, no command to head to a specific point on the map, led by the customary marker system, not even a "sorry but you can't do/buy/start because of XYZ"...there is nothing...I simply cannot play the HVT missions.

    My first thought was Google and there are plenty of mentions of an HVT glitch, whereupon you arrive at the marker provided and there is no HVT waiting and the whole thing seems bugged out.

    But no mention of anything related to it just not working.

    I have not found every echo, and I think there may be some drones, so could this be why?

    If it is, do I need to collect every possible echo, drone, everything on the whole game map, and only then do the HVT contracts appear?

    Please offer some assistance, guys...I also have some queries about my build etc...but this is most frustrating and walling off an interesting area of the game, so I'd appreciate some help.

    Many thanks.

    Can't really help with your problem but you do not have to clear the whole map to activate hvts, are the hvts red when trying to purchase?

    No, they are only red if I don't have enough to buy the contracts, if you see what I mean?

    All others are in white, I can afford to do them, but when I hit X (ps4) nothing happens.

    It's like I simply don't have access, and I don't know why?

    I am thinking thats the answer....he's tapping the button instead of holding it down for 3-4 seconds

    Ahhh...I have to confess I hadn't thought about that.

    I know in this game a lot of stuff, certainly opening stuff, accepting stuff etc...requires you to hold the the button down while it fills up around the shape of the button.

    It has never occured to me it was that.

    You'd think a "hold X" command would be helpful, wouldn't you?

    When I log in tomorrow I'll check and see if that is the solution.

    Thanks a lot, and merry Christmas.

    You do have to hold the button down until it fills a circle around the contract icon.

    Thanks for the help above.
