World Tier 5
The Division 2 Guide
At the start of Division 2, only four World Tiers were available. However, a recent patch has added an extension to the end-game content, World Tier 5. This is how to unlock it, and what you can do once reaching it.
How To Unlock World Tier 5
World Tier 5 can be unlocked once first reaching World Tier 4, and then accumulating a Gear Score of 450.
Once reaching this point, you will need to complete the Capitol Building and Roosevelt Island Strongholds one more time, unlocking another side mission that is integral to reaching World Tier 5.
Complete the new Gatehouse Facility side mission to unlock the Tidal Basin invasion mission. Once completing this mission, you will finally reach the new World Tier 5.
World Tier 5 Benefits
Along with the joy of progression, World Tier 5 adds some little benefits to your player to incentivize reaching it.
World Tier 5 Gear
Reaching WT5 increases the Gear Score rating from the previous cap of 450 t0 500, allowing you to beef up your player more than ever before.
3 new gear sets came with the release of World Tier 5, True Patriot, Ongoing Directive, and Hardwired. These armor sets are integral to reaching the new cap of 500 for maximum armor ability.
The game promotes building a full set by giving extra bonuses along with the regular armor effects for the more pieces of a set that you are wearing. The bonuses for all three sets are shown below:
