How to Get the Acosta’s Go-Bag
The Acosta’s Go-Bag can drop from Faction Caches, which are lootable crates scattered across the open world in The Division 2. These caches belong to specific enemy factions, such as the Hyenas, True Sons, Outcasts, Rikers, Cleaners, and Black Tusk. Here’s how you can farm it:
Step 1: Locate Faction Caches
Faction Caches are typically found near activities associated with each faction, such as Control Points, bounties, or main missions. Some crates may also spawn in free roam near faction-specific strongholds.
Here’s a breakdown of where to find faction crates:
- Hyena Crates: Found in Hyena-controlled areas of D.C. and New York.
- True Sons Crates: Located near True Sons missions and Control Points.
- Outcasts Crates: Scattered across Outcast territories and Control Points.
- Black Tusk Crates: Found in Black Tusk areas, such as missions or areas taken over post-Warlords of New York.
- Riker Crates: Specific to New York in Warlords of New York. Found in Riker-occupied zones like the Civic Center and Battery Park.
- Cleaners Crates: Located in Cleaner zones across New York City.
Step 2: Farm Faction Keys
To open faction crates, you’ll need keys specific to each faction. Here’s how to get them:
- Underground Key Boxes: Explore underground areas in Washington D.C. and New York to find locked boxes containing keys.
- Control Points: Clearing Control Points often rewards faction keys.
- Named Enemies: Named enemies from each faction have a chance to drop their faction-specific key.
Step 3: Open Crates and Farm the Exotic
The Acosta’s Go-Bag has a 3% drop chance from faction caches. This low drop rate means persistence is key. Open as many caches as possible to increase your odds.
