The Division 2: How to Shock Roach

If you jump into The Division 2 today, you’ll notice a few new changes as a result of Title Update 4, including the new Gunner specialization. It’s immediately available to all Year 1 pass owners, but those without the pass can still earn the specialization by completing Field Research missions such as “Shock Roach twice before defeating him in the Bank Headquarters.” Here’s how to shock Roach in The Division 2.

Here’s How to Shock Roach in The Division 2

In order to begin the mission that tasks you with shocking roach, you must unlock the Bank Headquarters mission. It doesn’t take long to unlock in the game, but without it, you won’t be able to shock Roach.

Once you’ve got it unlocked by simply progressing through the game, start the Bank Headquarters mission. You can do this on any difficulty setting.

As you make your way through the mission, you’ll come to a large open area with some barrels and crates spread around, with a gated hole in the middle. This is where you can find Roach.

In order to shock Roach, naturally, you’re going to need Shock ammo. In the center of this open area, you should spot an ammo cache and within should be enough Shock ammo for you to complete the task.

To complete the task, you need to hit Roach twice with the ammo. Now, when you first spot him, shoot him with your standard ammo. Eventually, this will stun him.

While he is stunned, shoot him with the Shock ammo. That’s one hit.

Rinse and repeat this process until you land two hits on him and after the second hit, the Field Research mission will almost be complete. Now, you must simply finish him off. Kill him and the Field Research mission will be shown as completed.

That’s it for our guide on how to shock Roach in The Division 2.
