Targeted and Prototype gear
Set Targeted Loot before a Countdown run
Countdown combines a selectable loot target with a repeatable group mission, letting you focus runs on a gear slot, brand, or set.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Set Targeted Loot before a Countdown run
Countdown launch interface from the map or activity menu; set the target before matchmaking.
Before you go
- Countdown unlocked for the Agent.
- Access to matchmaking or a full squad.
- A build that can survive the selected difficulty and complete the extraction.
Farming steps
- Open the Countdown activity interface and review the available target loot choices.
- Select the item type, brand, or set that fits your current build goal before matchmaking.
- Choose a difficulty your group can complete; lower it if survivability is uncertain.
- Matchmake or launch with a squad, then follow the marked objective sequence rather than wandering away from the group.
- Clear objectives and collect loot during the run, checking highlighted target items as you go.
- Move to the extraction stage when prompted and help complete the extraction objective.
- Board or otherwise complete the extraction successfully, then inspect the end rewards and keep useful targeted drops.
- Set your target before queueing; changing the goal after launch may not apply to the current run.
- Extraction matters for preserving the run’s end rewards, so avoid leaving early even if you found a useful item.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat runs while Countdown and the desired target are available to your Agent. Rewards depend on completing the activity and extracting; individual pieces are not guaranteed.
Common mistakes
- Entering without setting a target; choose it in the launch interface before matchmaking.
- Leaving before extraction; complete the final objective to claim the run’s end rewards.
- Selecting a difficulty the group cannot survive; lower it to improve clear consistency.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you obtain the needed slot or set, or change the target to the next build gap before queueing again.
