Escalation Info
Replay main missions across escalating tiers with enemy scaling, rotating mutators and equal token rewards for every agent. Starting a run consumes no tokens.
Difficulty Scaling
No entry fee. Minimum Balance is an inventory requirement, not a payment. Each agent, including the host, earns the same Tokens per Agent on completion. Vendor prices are unchanged; values exclude temporary event multipliers.

Drop Rates
Individual NPCs in Escalation can drop Prototype Gear or a Prototype weapon, with chances increasing by tier. Prototype items can also drop from Escalation chests.
Prototype Drops per NPC
Chance for individual NPCs to drop Prototype Gear or a Prototype weapon.
Targeted Loot by Tier
Each Escalation mission has assigned Targeted Loot that rotates daily and cannot be selected manually. The pool includes brands, gear sets, weapon types, Gear Mods and Skill Mods. Higher tiers have a greater chance of dropping targeted items.
Five main missions and strongholds are available each week. The playlist changes at the Tuesday weekly reset; each mission’s Targeted Loot changes daily.
Your token balance must be at least the tier number to start or matchmake: Tier 1 needs 1 token, Tier 5 needs 5 and Tier 10 needs 10. Tier 0 remains free.
The required tokens stay in your inventory. Failed runs, disconnects and DELTA errors do not consume an entry fee.
The host and every teammate receive the same completion reward. Temporary event multipliers are excluded from this table.
Escalation Requisition Vendor prices are unchanged. Spending below a tier’s minimum balance prevents starting or matchmaking into that tier until you earn enough tokens again.
Escalation Tokens do not reset at the end of a season. Your remaining balance carries over to the next season.
Gear Mod and Skill Mod Targeted Loot uses Heroic roll chances on Tiers 0–4 and Legendary roll chances from Tier 5 onward.
