Patch 1.2 is scheduled for release next week and not only comes with a new incursion, but some new high value targets and Dark Zone changes as well. High value targets are enemies of extreme importance and difficulty that will award you extra loot should you manage to take one down. A HVT NPC in your base of operations holds the list of HVT, their recommended level, and the type of loot they hold. When you select a HVT from the vendor, you'll only have a certain amount of time to take them out.
Extraction changes are also coming with the patch, changes that are leaving many more upset than excited. Players can now hijack other players loot as it's being extracted by the helicopter. If you see a Dark Zone satchel on a rope waiting for extraction, you can run up and cut it off for yourself. In a game mode were there was no shortage of stealing an backstabbing, we wonder if adding another way to screw players out of their loot is a good idea.
