how to get global event stars division 2

Global Event Stars in The Division 2 are earned by playing during an active global event, completing the event’s challenges, and gaining levels, with each level-up giving you a star. The fastest way is usually to farm high-XP activities like open-world convoys or missions on a difficulty you can clear quickly, especially with directives on.

How to earn stars

  • Complete the global event challenges. These give chunkier star rewards for specific objectives tied to the active event.
  • Gain SHD/watch levels while the event is active. One star is awarded per level-up, so XP farming is the most reliable long-term method.
  • Use high-XP activities. Community guides repeatedly point to convoys, stronghold-style farming, and fast repeatable missions as the quickest route.

Fastest farming method

A commonly recommended method is running open-world convoys or a very fast mission on the highest difficulty you can finish quickly, while enabling directives if they do not slow you down too much. That works because you are stacking mission XP and level-up stars at the same time.

Where to spend them

You spend stars at the Season/Global Event vendor at the White House Base of Operations, and in New York there is also a Seasons vendor in Haven. Stars do not carry over after the event ends, so use them before the reset.

Practical tip

If your goal is just more stars, don’t chase every challenge if it slows you down too much. In practice, fast XP farming plus a few easy event objectives usually beats grinding harder objectives that take longer.

TL;DR

Activate the event, farm fast XP for SHD levels, finish easy challenges along the way, and spend stars at the Seasons vendor before the event ends.
