The Division is adding a new achievement system with 500 commendations that unlock cosmetics
Commendations in The Division are divided into three categories including Challenge, Checklist, and Statistical. In the Challenge section, players will be tasked with completing activities at higher levels of difficulty. The Checklist selection simply directs players to complete activities within certain groupings. Finally, the Statistical branch honors reaching certain levels with the different values in the game. When the 1.7 update becomes available, over 500 Commendations will be ready.
Like most achievement systems, each Commendation has a score related to it. As players complete Commendations, their overall Commendation Score increases. This score can be viewed by the player or others within the UI of The Division. Players can also show off their accomplishments with Patches that are unlocked through the Commendations system. These Patches replace the phoenix patch always present on clothes in the game.
