The Summit

“ We need you to secure a skyscraper. This may take a while. Hope you cleared your schedule.

The Summit (also known as Skyscraper) is a new PVE game mode that was introduced in Season 3 of Tom Clancy's The Division 2. It is made to be a game mode that contains high replayability for players. As of Title Update 21, players can access this mode once they reach level 40 regardless whether they own Warlords of New York.

Gameplay[]

The Summit is a 100-floor skyscraper located in Manhattan. The game mode works by having players clear out each floor, with every 10th floor being a boss level. As the player progresses, the floors get more difficult.

Floor Difficulty[]

As players climb The Summit, the floors increase in difficulty level. For floors 1 to 10, the difficulty is set to Normal. Floors 11 to 20, the difficulty is set to Hard, Floors 21 to 30 are Challenging. Floors 31 to 50 are Challenging with Directives Enabled. Floors 51 to 60 are Heroic, and Floors 60 to 71 are Heroic with Directives. 71 to 90 are Legendary and 91 to 100 are Legendary with 3 Directives active.

An update has been made for the mode following its release. Players now will get to choose what difficulty and directives they would like to do while ascending the skyscraper. A total of 10 directives and difficulty up to legendary are available for players. Directives can only adjust in the lobby or after the boss floor.

Factions[]

Every faction makes an appearance in The Summit. Each floor will have a randomly selected faction as the main faction players will encounter. Sometimes, players may encounter different factions from both Washington, D.C. and New York City, such as Cleaners, Rikers, True Sons, Black Tusk, Outcasts and Hyenas.

Additionally, players can encounter ambushes from the Underground, the Ambushers and the Raiders. Rogue agents encounters will also take place in The Summit.

At Floor 100, players have to face Hunters in order to finally secure the skyscraper. The number of Hunters and difficulty are based on the group size. Two Hunters will spawn if you entered the floor solo. 1 additional Hunter will be spawned for every increased player.

Rewards[]

Following the health update to The Summit, players can now choose their desired targeted loot in The Summit. It is not group bounded, which make players in a group can have their desired targeted loot set individually. Some rewards in The Summit are Exotics like the Capacitor or Ridgeway's Pride.

Possible Types of Floor Objectives[]

Most floors will have multiple waves of enemies.
Killing all enemies will usually complete the Objective, skipping the objectives, letting the Player continue on.
- The tasks for Hacked Warhounds, Hacked EMPs and Hacked Terminals objectives have to be completed to continue.

Event Type	Rules
SHD Tech Crate	A Tech Crate is placed centrally in the stage At first, it is under enemy influence It has a big activation radius. Stay inside there until you turn the influence to neutral and then to SHD If there are more enemies than SHD agents in the radius, the influence will turn enemy again The Tech Crate keeps spawning little Assault Turrets, Sniper Turrets and Flamer Turrets, each with very little health. They belong to the faction that has currently the most influence on the crate. In this stage there is a certain number of enemies to eliminate. If you kill them all, the status of the Tech Create is irrelevant
Experimental EMP Pulse	Shoot the 1-2 EMP Pulses to disable them
Drone Ambush	Multiple enemy drones spawn in waves, trying to kill the player Survive am unknown amount of waves to continue to the next stage Drones usually spawn as a pair of Assault Drones Sometimes a pair of Exploder Drones also spawns, usually at half the rate of the Assault Drones
Laptop Terminals	Usually 2-3 Laptops can be found in the area Activate each Laptop and stay within its radius to disable it Leaving the radius will reset it After hacking all Laptops, sometimes you will have to destroy a server to complete the objective There is usually a time limit of about 90 seconds for hacking and destroying the server
Hacked Warhounds	Three invulnerable Warhounds will be inside that stage There are also 2-3 servers. Shoot all the severs to disable/destroy the Warhounds
Support Station	The support station spawns randomly in missions If the Player is inside its radius, it will inject the Player with an antidote to poison
Poisoned Air	The Player is slowly losing health Get close to the Support Station to receive antidote, or kill all enemies before you die
Hacked Turret	This is similar to the Hacked Warhounds Event There is a invulnerable Turret station in the stage There are also 2-3 servers. Shoot all the severs to disable/destroy the Turret
