How to Play Manhunt Climax Missions in The Division 2
Now that you have the details about the Throwback Event, let’s go over how to start the Legacy Climax Missions in The Division 2 and earn your rewards.
First, open the map in the game. Then, navigate to the Manhunt section and toggle on the Legacy Manhunt option. After that, select a target from the ongoing project and accept it. This will fast-travel you to the starting point of that specific mission. Completing the mission will reward you with the exotic gear we mentioned above.
After completing a project, the next one will begin in two days. You can track this in the Throwback Project tile under the Projects section in the pause menu. A timer will indicate when the next Throwback event in The Division 2 is set to start.
In addition to the guaranteed exotics, you can also participate in the five Special Global Events mentioned earlier. During these events, you’ll enjoy a 10% increased drop rate for exotics, making it easier to farm the exotics tied to those seasons. You can spend the stars you earn while playing the Global Event to get these rewards.
That’s everything you need to know about the Throwback Event! We hope you can collect the remaining gear before the transition to Season 2.0. For more tips on the game, be sure to check out our The Division 2: All Gear Sets guide.
