Weapons: Types & Talents
Discover all missions in Tom Clancy's The Division, categorized into Medical, Tech, and Security. Learn about difficulty levels, rewards, and daily mission structures.
Missions are scripted, instanced activities in Tom Clancy's The Division, serving as the equivalent to "dungeons" in other games. These activities, alongside Side Missions, Encounters, and High-Value Targets (HVTs), are found in the overworld and can be completed solo or in a group. Missions provide rewards and Experience while progressing the main story as the player works to restore Manhattan, defeat threats, and find a way to stop the Green Poison.
Missions are separated into three categories, each representing the mission's overall topic and its association with a wing of the Base of Operations: Medical, Tech, and Security. Compared to Encounters, these missions offer a generous amount of points towards the respective wing upon first-time completion.
Missions can be replayed at any difficulty. All missions have at least a "Normal" and "Hard" mode. Some have "Challenging" mode, and fewer still have "Legendary" or "Heroic" mode. Enemy difficulty increases with higher settings, and at certain difficulties, enemies are replaced with entirely different, deadlier factions. Completing missions at higher difficulties rewards better loot, increased Credits, Experience, and Phoenix Credits.
Upon reaching the maximum character level of 30, players gain access to Daily Missions. Each day, a checklist of 3 specific missions (2 Hard, 1 Challenging) is provided, with bonus rewards and currency for completion.
There are 18 main campaign missions and 15 side missions.
