Global Events

Global Events are a feature in Tom Clancy's The Division that were added in Patches and Updates/Update 1.7. Global Events add modifiers to the open world environment and missions. While one modifier is always active and cannot be turned off, two different modifiers can be applied to increase rewards and difficulty in a mission. Participating in Global Events will reward players with GE tokens that are used to buy Encrypted Caches and unique vanity items from the Global Event Vendor in the GE area. Global Events have a leaderboard, similar to the Dark Zone, and at the end of each event, top players will be awarded.
