HVTs have lost some relevance over the past several months and are in need of some small reward changes to make them worth while.
- 1 Weekly Exotic cache for completing all the Weekly HVT missions.
- 25 intel & 1 Cypher key fragment per day for completing all Daily HvT missions
- LZ bosses drop 2 intel (guaranteed)
- Increase chance for Classy to 3% for named HvT bosses (same as LZ & DZ bosses)
For S&D Missions
- Increase Intel storage to 600
- Share commendation accumulations across all characters
Other than Survival, I still think that HvTs are the best PvE addition to the game since launch. They have variety to them, feel like they are a narrative story element to the game. You may not have run them during the GE, but you should. If you pre-grind intel and hit the weeklies on 4 characters is a decent pay-out with-out spamming content.
There is a ton of big changes that could be done in a revamp.
The HVT Mission vendors is a great mechanism and should be expanded.
- Clear a districts landmarks (Hot Zone)
- Rescue a hostage
- Add Hunters or rogue 1st wave agents in some way (Mission or chance to spawn during S&D?)
- Use the Survival PvE DZ to bring HvTs in the DZ. (defend an extraction)
I'm sure Merphee's LZ thread has tons of ideas.... I mostly wanted to touch on some much needed small changes to the rewards.

4-Skull Gloves
3-Bliss Holsters....
1-Hungry Hag
Best drop out of all that crap was the Devil
All that in 10 hours of much needed binge play time.
If they add Cypher keys to S&Ds, I'd be doing them non-stop. Division is secretly a fashion show.
I think I've seen this posted on the forums, but someone said that exotics should rotate every week. It would be cool, because you won't be able to anticipate what the drop'll be.

I like all these ideas. Would love for a reason to do HVTs other than a change of pace from DZ/UG/Survival.
They need to remove the target intel requirement for HVTs. It's an unnecessary artificial grind and unnecessary currency.
Just let us do daily and weekly HVTs without any requirements.
Search and Destroy missions rewards are 5 division tech. Critical search and destroy missions should have more elites and reward you with more division tech.
Completing all daily HVTs rewards you with 50 division tech. Completing all weekly HVTs rewards you with an exotic cache and a classified cache.
High Tier HVT Bosses should have 5% to 10% chance to drop classified and exotics.
Daily HVTs give more phoenix credits.
Legendary LMB and Hunters are the top tier weekly HVT with 50% drop of an exotic or classified gear item.
I don't mind the S&D missions, but I think that they should be less grindy.Originally Posted by Demiz3r Go to original post
So, the intel rewards are the same, but you get them from 2 missions not 3.
Both missions would include a sub-boss (lieutenant) who drops 2 intel,
I don't object to the S&Ds and I like the idea of getting intel.
I just think they need to be more significant missions and less of them.
Maybe they could tie them to the regional LZ bosses too.
(I love the rewards ... but they are way too generous for the DT to consider, lol)
Sorry, but no. Intel gathering is an obnoxious grind. It is not needed. Look at this way. Imagine if we need target intel to do a daily story mission or weekly incursion. Do you know how obnoxious that would be? We should just do them.Originally Posted by Mad-Cap Go to original post
But Intel is what HVTs are based on. Otherwise, you would just go to the vendor get the mission and need no interaction with the open world, no time invested. Intel pushes players into the LZ zones and makes them significant. I can see streamlining S&Ds so that picking them up / dropping them off on the safe house board is eliminated.Originally Posted by Demiz3r Go to original post
I doubt that they will eliminate an entire currency. The best way to deal with it is to make it easier to get (LZ bosses, 25 daily payout etc)
