Venturing into the Dark Zone? It's dangerous to go alone! Thankfully, high-end weapons are highly reliable companions. While many The Division players will be leveling rapidly this weekend, some of us will need a little help to catch up with those that had a head start. Enter the high-end weapons exploit that is essentially a two-step method that allows you to farm the rare guns.
First, the stronger the opponent, the better the drops. Turning your difficulty level from Normal to Hard or From Hard to Challenging can only be done once you have reached a minimum level requirement. Each tier is more difficult and yields better dropped items. What's more, playing at an elevated difficulty will also accelerate your leveling progress and make the missions easier to do as your abilities expand.
Unfortunately, you will still have to invest a significant amount of time into the game as you must arrive at one of the final mission games in the game, also known as the General Assembly mission. As you'd expect, the final mission in The Division is a big one and you will be facing a ton of high level enemies including a very dangerous Lieutenant Colonel Charles Bliss. Annihilating Bliss and completing this mission will yield a high-end weapon drop. However, co-op players beware: the gun will only be available to online one member on the squad.
Of course, high-end weapons are also available elsewhere, but the General Assembly mission is definitely a more straightforward exchange that you can replay again and again to collect your arsenal. It's that or dumpster dive for loot crates in alleyways that probably delivers one specialized weapon for every thousand work gloves.
Without further ado, here's a play-through of the General Assembly:
