Im somewhat new to the game, but am level 40 and done the story modes. I started working on new questlines to get to roosevelt island NON invaded.My goal today was completing Invaded Federal Emergency Bunker and Invaded Potomac Event Centre. I did each one 3 times today...2 hard and 1 normal. Am I missing something because nothing is updating or changing. How can I tell Invaded vs non invaded?
Invaded missions = black tusk. Non-invaded = regular (hyena, outcast, true son) enemies. You can toggle the mission between invaded and non-invaded mode when selecting difficulty.
Only a subset of missions are invaded each week, and they rotate every Tuesday (i.e. in a few hours). Right now they are:
Grand Washington Hotel
Jefferson Trade Center
Bank Headquarters
District Union Arena
You can toggle the mission between invaded and non-invaded mode when selecting difficulty.
How? Im looking at the difficulty screen atm and there is nothing that says Invaded or non invaded.
All I see are the directives and the mode setting for story, normal hard etc? Nothing else is listed there
what am I missing?
When you go to your map and click on a mission (or hover your cursor over it), you have the option to change difficulty (default keypress on PC is pressing and holding "G"). If the mission has an alternate enemy position and strength mapping (ie. invaded, season HVT manhunt, etc.), a subsequent option to "Toggle Mission Mode" will become available, indicating the respective key/button presses to cycle through the options per your platform.
Addendum:
Invaded missions were introduced back in the days prior to legendaries and the WoNY expansion, when we only had L30 GS characters. The alternate missions provided some extra variety under the pretext of a weekly BT invasion. Respective missions had -- and still have today -- a distinctive red hexagonal icon. The zones containing said missions also had a distinctive red highlight. As missions were completed, the zones would be deemed liberated and would lose said highlight / occupied status, deferring back to the default mapping. Clearing an invasion consisted of completing three designated main missions, one stronghold, and Tidal Basin. Over time, complaints about the 'red blight' on the map led to the removal of the red zone highlight, while maintaining the other aspects. Your first login per weekly reset will force an invasion notice animation, as will unlocking the invaded stronghold and Tidal Basin.
