World Tier selector and endgame mission map across Manhattan.

Before you go

At level 30, inspect your inventory and equip your strongest suitable gear to raise Gear Score.
Open the World Tier selector and read the requirement for the next tier.
Advance only when the selector confirms that your equipped score meets the threshold.
Run available missions or activities at the new tier and collect their equipment rewards.
Replace weaker pieces and check whether your loadout qualifies for the next tier.
Repeat the selector check until World Tier 5 is reached.
At Tier 5, choose repeatable endgame activities that fit your build and group.

Check the equipped loadout, not just items sitting in inventory, when evaluating Gear Score.
Raise difficulty in steps; a tier you can clear consistently is more useful for farming than one that stalls your runs.

Tier advancement is a one-time progression path per character; after reaching World Tier 5, repeat eligible endgame activities for gear.

Trying to advance before meeting the displayed score; improve equipped items first.
Selling or dismantling every higher-score piece before the tier check; keep a temporary progression loadout if needed.
Treating Tier 5 as a guaranteed Classified source; rewards depend on the activity and its drop rules.

Stop advancing when the selector shows World Tier 5. Switch to your chosen endgame loop, such as assignments, HVTs, or missions.
