Chasing Shadows and Rare Finds: Your Guide to Finding the Snitch and Cassie Mendoza in The Division 2

The world of The Division 2 is vast and filled with secrets, but few are as elusive (and potentially rewarding) as the Informant, also known as the Snitch, and the enigmatic vendor, Cassie Mendoza. These two characters offer unique opportunities for Agents willing to track them down, providing access to special blueprints and rare gear.

While they aren’t marked on your main map permanently, their appearances follow specific patterns and require a keen eye and a bit of persistence. This guide will walk you through how to find them, ensuring you don’t miss out on what they have to offer.

Understanding the Basics:

• The Snitch (Informant): This mysterious individual roams the open world and provides the location of Cassie Mendoza. He only appears in specific locations and disappears after you interact with him (or if you spook him). He’s often found near hostile activities but won’t directly engage in combat.

• Cassie Mendoza, the Secret Vendor: Once you’ve spoken to the Snitch, he’ll reveal Cassie’s temporary location on your map. Cassie sells a rotating stock of high-end and sometimes exotic items, including valuable blueprints. Her inventory changes with each visit, and she only stays in one location for a limited time (roughly 24 hours in-game).

Step 1: Locating the Elusive Snitch

Finding the Snitch is the first crucial step to unlocking Cassie’s location. Here’s what you need to know:

• Random Spawn Locations: The Snitch has a set of predetermined spawn points across Washington D.C. and New York (if you own the WONY expansion). He will only appear at one of these locations at any given time.

• No Fixed Schedule: There’s no specific time or day the Snitch will appear at a particular location. It’s all based on chance.

• Look for His Tell-Tale Sign: When you’re near a potential Snitch spawn point, keep an eye out for a few key indicators:

  • A Question Mark on the Minimap: If you’re close enough, a temporary question mark icon may appear on your minimap. This is your biggest clue!
  • His Voice: Sometimes, you can hear the Snitch mumbling or talking to himself before you see him. Listen closely!
  • He’s Neutral: The Snitch won’t attack you or other NPCs. He’ll usually be standing or pacing nervously.

• Potential Spawn Areas: While not exhaustive, here are some general types of areas where the Snitch is often found:

  • Near open-world activities like public executions, resource convoys, or territory control points (though not directly involved in the fight).
  • In alleyways or secluded corners.
  • Sometimes near safe houses or control points, but a bit off the beaten path.

Your Handy Map:

Pro Tip: If you’re actively looking for the Snitch, it can be helpful to run a loop through known potential spawn areas. Keep your ears and eyes peeled! If you don’t find him in one spot, move on to the next.

Step 2: Unlocking Cassie Mendoza’s Location

Once you’ve finally tracked down the Snitch, approach and interact with him. He’ll offer you a piece of information, and most importantly, he will reveal Cassie Mendoza’s current location on your main map for a limited time.

• Check Your Map Immediately: After speaking to the Snitch, open your main map. You should see a new icon indicating Cassie Mendoza’s location. It’s usually a unique vendor-style icon.
• Hurry Up! Cassie won’t stay in the same spot forever. Make your way to her location as soon as possible before she moves on.

Step 3: Visiting Cassie Mendoza and Her Wares

Once you reach Cassie’s marked location, you’ll find her set up as a temporary vendor. Here’s what you can expect:

• Unique Inventory: Cassie sells a rotating selection of high-end gear, weapons, and weapon mods. She also often carries valuable blueprints that can be used to craft specific items at your crafting station.
• Possible Exotic Items: Keep a close eye on her inventory, as she occasionally stocks exotic weapons or gear pieces. These are often highly sought after.
• Limited Time Offer: Remember that Cassie’s inventory and location are temporary. Once her timer runs out (usually around 24 hours after her location is revealed), she will disappear, and you’ll need to find the Snitch again to locate her next appearance.

Tips for Efficient Tracking:

• Join a Group: If you’re having trouble finding the Snitch, playing with a group can increase your chances. If one player finds him, they can share the location with the rest of the team.
• World Tier Matters (Slightly): The Snitch and Cassie can appear in any World Tier once you’ve progressed through the main story. However, the quality of Cassie’s inventory will scale with your current World Tier.
• Listen Carefully: The Snitch often mutters or has unique audio cues that can help you pinpoint his location.
• Be Patient: Finding the Snitch can sometimes take time and a bit of luck. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find him immediately. Keep searching!
