The Prime Shield launches today, and we hope everyone has a few Classified gear sets in their stash! To start, collecting any three full Classified gear-sets will unlock Prime. Each one of the 14 standard gear-sets has a 6-piece Classified version, bringing its standard equivalent to the next level by magnifying its power and effectiveness. The following activities have a chance to drop a Classified gear-piece:

• Open World bosses
• Dark Zone bosses
• Underground Hunters
• Phoenix Credit Cache at the Terminal
• Season Pass Supply Drop
• Legendary Missions

Yes, this Shield is retroactive. Get gearing, Agents!
