Agents you have unique opportunity to earn valuable rewards, including the new named weapon Caretaker weapon, through the Shepherd system and ongoing in-game events. Understanding how to leverage these features can significantly boost your progression and gear acquisition.
Consistent Rewards: After achieving your initial Shepherd rank, each subsequent Shepherd level grants a reconstructed cache, 700,000 XP, and 10 exotic components. These rewards are provided consistently until you reach a higher Shepherd rank (typically around rank six or seven).
Daily Projects & Changing Rewards: The daily Shepherd project resets, but the rewards evolve after reaching the initial higher Shepherd ranks, transitioning to unmarked SHD supply caches.
Multiple Characters for More Rewards: For agents with multiple characters, each character can undertake the shepherding project daily, allowing for additional reconstructed caches and another instance of specific event rewards like the Caretaker weapon. This is an effective way to maximize your gains.
Game Pass Event: Be sure to participate in any ongoing Game Pass-related events, as they often run for a limited time (e.g., two weeks) and offer exclusive rewards, such as the Caretaker weapon automatically added to your inventory upon completion. Remember to mark it as a favorite to prevent accidental deletion!
Shepherding XP Event: Take advantage of any active shepherding XP events, as these provide an accelerated opportunity to earn Shepherd ranks and their associated rewards. Such events typically have a specific end date (e.g., June 2nd), so act quickly to benefit.
By strategically engaging with the Shepherd system and participating in time-limited events, agents can significantly enhance their resource accumulation and gear collection, including valuable items like the Caretaker weapon, in The Division 2.
