The rewards for the Escalation mode have undergone slight changes in The Division 2 Y8S2, and there have been some redistributions across all levels. While the mode will continue to be your best shot at Prototype gear items, the risk-rewards will now feel better for the one who begins the raid.

Once you move up the tiers, the challenge at hand will be difficult. This is more so for the one starting a run. However, they can also make significant profit. The potential profit progressively rises as you move up the tiers.
