Ubisoft Massive is starting The Division Global Event Assault today, and as the headline plainly states, it modifies assault values, and lots more. Check out the complete info below which also lists down the rewards and lots more.
Here’s the schedule, and the how it all works (via Reddit).
The Division Global Event Assault:
Schedule
Modifier
- Assault (Global Modifier)
- Always active; All Agent damage is increased at close range.
- Crucial Assault (Only active in the Assault Playlist)
- Assault behavior, plus all enemy damage is increased at longer range
- Major Assault (Only active in the Assault Playlist and only for groups)
- Crucial Assault behavior, plus Agent damage increases when close to team members, enemy damage increases when apart from team members.
Tips and Tricks
The Global Modifier makes the missions easier – go close and burn the NPCs down, that works also very well on Legendary difficulty – but be careful, that the NPCs don´t down you with their melee attacks.
The Global Modifier will be active everywhere in The Division (also Survival and in Last Stand) but ONLY against NPCs. This modifier has NO impact in PVP.

Crucial Assault and Major Assault will challenge the way you play the missions and you will have to adapt the routine that you have in the missions. The usual – “i fight from the distance” does not really work, because the NPCs will hit you like a truck and unless you have a decent amount of toughness and armor – they will insta-down you most of the time. So go close, use the proximity damage buff and kill them that way.
Major Assault is a group modifier that gives you a buff when you are close together (you will see a white line between the agents) that helps you against the NPCs and is NOT harder than Crucial Assault. Just keep that in mind and check what Modifier is active.

Classified Gear Sets
You can recognize Classified Gear Sets by the folder next to the icon.
You can only get these Classified Gear Sets from the Global Event caches. But all the other classified can still drop from the regular loot locations.

Global Event Caches
You can earn Global Event Tokens by doing the missions and other activities and then you can buy Global Event Caches from the vendor in the Global Event area of the Terminal. When you just want Classified Items, then it is recommended to buy the Superior Caches.
