LZ Named Bosses Farm Route (Text Edition)
By Kośtiźky
I've noticed that there are lots of guides out there based on the interactive map, but here I want to propose the text edition of my own route I use with my partner. It's pretty fast and almost straightforward, and I think you'll really enjoy it!

General Information
First of all, let me tell you why we do all of this.
As many players know, and so many players don't, is that after the latest update in The Division, there are ways to get classified sets and exotics in the open world by killing named enemies.

Guess what! You can meet them in other ways besides the hunt missions. They're right here on the classic open-world map, the so-called LZ, or light zone. How cool is that?

It's pretty much the best because you can complete your shields faster:
Prime - Collect three full Classified gear sets
Marshal - Collect all Exotic weapons and armor
Talon - Get 3,000 Commendation score*
Collecting unclassified gear sets can earn you Commendation Points.

Remember, you will receive a Shield Cache containing an Exotic Weapon, two Classified Set Pieces, 2,000 Phoenix Credits, 500 Division Tech, three Cypher Keys, and the badge.
Completing these runs will allow you to upgrade your character for end-game content such as Legendary Missions and Heroic Activities such as Raids (Incursions).

The great thing about LZ is that you can start your game session, go off and do other activities, and then come back to it again, because the bosses respawn every four hours!

In my run, I'm going to make my way from the top to the bottom of the east side of LZ, then make my way to the west side throughout the bottom areas, and finally make my way to the top of the west side of LZ.


Alright, let's do this! We've got 15 LZ Elite named bosses to take down, and we're going to do it!

We've marked the areas we should cross only on foot with red lines. When we can fast travel to the mission or base, you'll see green lines.

Let's get to it!
First Target: Appollo [First Wave Agent, Last Man Battalion]
START POINT:
The Crypt Safehouse

1. Teleport to the Crypt Safehouse and choose your exit through the door to the metro passage intersection.
2. Turn left twice and pass the United Nations graffiti on the wall. You're now on the right street.
3. Just follow E 52nd St. to the intersection with 3rd Ave, passing Park Ave along the way.
4. Walk past the building on your left, then look for the barricaded control point. That's the location where you'll find our first target.
5. Once you've taken out the target, stay put. We'll start the hunt on the second target from here.
Second Target: Sgt. Jacks [Last Man Battalion]
START POINT:
Intersection E52 St. and 3rd Ave
Appollo Named Elite killspot

1. After you've taken out Apollo, check the map and set a course for the bottom of 3rd Ave.
2. We're going past the intersection with E49th St. to the intersection with E47th St. Use the quarantine living flats as your marker. It'll be on your left.
3. Turn left after the quarantine flats and proceed on E 47th St. to the intersection with 2nd Ave.
4. Your second target awaits you along this route.
Third Target: Cpl. Dorsnman [Last Man Battalion]
START POINT:
Russian Conculate Mission

1. Once you've taken out Sgt. Jacks, check the map and fast travel to the Russian Conculate Mission area. It's in Murray Hill, at the middle top.
2. Turn back from the entrance and look for the Redhouse Telecoms sign on the wall.
3. Take the road to the left of the building to the intersection with E38th St.
4. Turn left to the intersection with 1st Ave. Your third target awaits you along this route.
Fourth Target: Sgt. Lewis [Last Man Battalion]
START POINT:
E31st St Dark Zone Control Point
or
Madison's Stand Safehouse

1. After you've finished off your previous target, we're jumping back on the fast travel function. Get to the E31st St dark zone control point, or Madison's Stand Safehouse if you somehow didn't unlock this DZ CP.
2. Leave the dark zone from the control point you're in and head to 31st St.
Alternatively:
You need to exit Madison's Stand Safehouse and face the Madison Park. It's right in front of you.
Turn right and go around the safehouse building until you get to E29th St.
At the first intersection with Park Ave, turn left and go a bit further to the next intersection with 31st St. Take a right there and you'll find yourself at [point two] above.

3. Take 31st St to the 3rd Ave intersection. You'll find your fourth target along the route.
Fifth Target: Cpl. Wright [Last Man Battalion]
START POINT:
Police Academy Mission

1. Go straight to the Police Academy Mission.
2. When you get there, look to your right and slightly back to find the fenced entrance to the yard.
3. Go into the yard and run past the car on your right until you reach the loading dock. Turn left and you'll see the garbage container near the fence.
4. Climb to the container and go between the two building walls, then turn right. You will find the parking lot underneath you.
5. Your fifth target is there, waiting for you. Sometimes you can find them on the street outside the parking lot fighting Rikers.
Sixth Target: Chains [Rikers]
START POINT:
The Ward Safehouse

1. We are fast-travelling to The Ward Safehouse to get this heavy peanut shooter.
2. Ext the safehouse and turn left. We're moving around the building by going past the wagon with the boxes and stuff. Use the CERA plate on the road as a marker.
3. Keep moving around the building, past the sports courts on your right. You'll also see the "We still live here!" cardboard. Continue your run upstairs.
4. You will see the mine right in front of you. This is our marker that we're at the target point. Keep going past the mine..
5. You will find our sixth target right around the corner to the left. He is sometimes on the playground right in front of us.
Seventh Target: Riot [Rikers]
START POINT:
The Last Call Safehouse

1. After Chains is killed, we're moving to The Last Call Safehouse. Use the fast-travel function.
This is the longest run of all 15, so I will insist you to set the custom point on the map by yourselves.
2. Exit the safehouse and head to the left street downstairs until you see a non-service bus. Open your map and identify areas to the left of your location.
3. You're looking for the Union Square green area in the Flatiron District. You'll find Riot waiting for you right underneath it on 14th St.
4. Set the custom point, head there using your GPS tracker, and kill him. Your way can be shortened by turning left to the parking lot with the two mines in it, you can hear it.
Eighth Target: Belzer [Cleaners]
START POINT:
Napalm Production Site Mission

1. Fast-travel to the Napalm Production Site Mission. Look to your right at the road you are on.
2. Your eighth target is at the end of 6th Ave. Just go forward and you'll see him.

Hudson Refugee Camp Mission
or when you are in need of ammunition refills

2. Turn left and follow 9th Ave to the intersection with W29th St. Your path will take you under the bridge.
3. At the intersection, turn left and follow W29th St. You'll see the plus-shaped building on your right.
4. Run on and then turn into the courtyard before you reach the second building on your right.
5. Your target is walking in the alley right in front of you. Get ready to take him down.
6. After the cold-blooded killing do not leave this alley. You need to pass it through to the W24th St.

In addition, if you need ammunition or other supplies,
We will fast-travel to The Terminal of Base of Operations first, and only then return to the first step of the instructions above.
Tenth Target: Five-O [Rioters]
START POINT:
W24th St under the Fray Named Elite killspot

1. We're going straight through the alley where we killed Fray to W24th St. until we see a huge truck with the merchandising sign on it. You'll know it when you see it.
2. You'll see a bus stop to your right. Behind it is a fence. Jump over it to get into the yard.
3. Keep walking until you reach the wooden fence. Turn left.
4. Your tenth target is on the road between the fences, almost at the end of this yard.
Eleventh Target: Erksine [Cleaners]
START POINT:
Kerman Station Safehouse

1. We're fast-travelling to Kerman Station Safehouse. We're going through the left door.
2. Take the exit to your left and walk the escalator to the top. Now, stay put.
3. At the top of the escalator, turn right and go around the metro station roof until you see a pile of wood containers.
4. Follow these to the roof of the building in front of you.
5. Run across the roof right to the front.
6. You will see a road below to the left of the huge trading center building. Jump down and follow this road to the end of W34th St.
7. Your target is on 12th Ave at the intersection with W34th St, on the road closer to the shoreline.
Twelveth Target: Fumes [Cleaners]
START POINT:
The Cavern Safehouse

1. After Erksine is killed, we're moving to The Cavern Safehouse. Use the fast-travel function.
2. Exit the main area of Safehouse by taking the left fenced door (blue UV-lights as a marker).
3. At the intersection, turn left and climb the ladder to the surface until you find yourself on W38th St facing the building in front of you.
4. Take a left and follow W38th St until you reach the green-fenced entrance to Penn Station North.
5. Go downstairs, run a bit further, and turn right after the vending machines.
6. Your target is waiting for you right across the train tracks at the platform.
You may have to get a little bit closer to the ledge in order for him to appear.

There is a shorter way to get to Fumes, especially if you want it to be closer and more personal.
1. After Erksine is killed, we're moving to The Cavern Safehouse. Use the fast-travel function.
2. Exit the main area of Safehouse by taking the left fenced door (blue UV-lights as a marker).
3. At the intersection, turn left and climb two ladders insted of three as it was told in the first option.
4. Before you reach the third ladder, turn left to enter the maintenance tunnel and follow it to the boiler room.
5. In the boiler room turn left again and follow the tunnel to the platform where you can find Fumes.
You may have to follow the platform a little further to make it appear.
Thirteenth Target: Strings [Rikers]
START POINT:
Dante's Run Safehouse
or
Amherst's Apartment Mission

1. Fast-travel to Dante's Run Safehouse and leave through the right door into the long corridor, which leads to the textile shop.
2. Leave the shop through the right entrance after leaving the safehouse and turn right onto 10th Ave past the cashiers in front of you. Go to the intersection with W43rd St.
3. Turn left on W43rd St and proceed until you see the descent to the train tracks. It's to the right of the wagon with the red-haired girl print on it.
4. Descend to the train tracks and continue on this path. You will find Strings there.
5. After the killing, stay put. We will track down the fourteenth target from here.

You may be interested in the alternative way. But from my personal point of view there are some disadvantages. I just like to keep up with the pace of the first option I mentioned above.

1. Quickly travel to the Amherst Apartments Mission and turn around to see the burnt gas station directly ahead.
2. You must pass it with the gas station on your left and follow W46th St almost to the cardon and you will see another descent to the train tracks on your left.
3. Descend to the train tracks and you will find Strings there.

Or maybe you're just unlucky and didn't knock any good gear off him, so you can just stay on top and continue to your fourteenth goal from here.
Fourteenth Target: Sorretto [Cleaners]
START POINT:
Strings Named Elite killspot
or
Amherst's Apartment Mission

1. Once Strings is dead, check out the ladder to the right of the orange train wagon. It leads to W46th St above.
2. Take the ladder to W46th St. Turn right past the burned gas station, then continue on this street, following W46th St toward the intersection with 9th Ave.
3. Your target will get your attention if you go left as you move along the route and check out the basketball court.

You'll know it's nearby if you listen for Darth Vader sounds around the corner.
Alternatively, if you're lazy, you can fast-travel to the Amherst's Apartment Mission after Strings is dead and looted.
Then all you have to do is turn to the left from its' entrance and move to W46th St as described above.
Fifteenth Target: Bullet King [Rikers]
We reached our final target on the farm run, which can be accessed by numerous routes.

START POINT:
Autumn's Hope Safehouse (most preferable)
or
W53rd St Dark Zone Control Point (medium comfort)

You need to know one thing: Bullet King is walking on Broadway Street.
It's to the left of the dark zone. He's right in front of the exit from Autumn's Hope Safehouse, just behind the wall with the Empire Autumn Hotel sign.

1. Get to W53rd St Dark Zone Control Point or Autumn's Hope Safehouse and get outside. If you're running from the Sorreto killspot, run to the intersection of Broadway and W47th St.
2. Bullet King is waiting for you on Broadway between W52nd St and W49th St.
That's all, folks!
Well, the title speaks for itself, I guess.
This is the end of our journey for the next four hours.

This small guide is not superior to videos, printable maps, or digital maps, including interactive maps. However, it does include anchors for every boss and a text description of their locations.

I am certain that you will find this tool invaluable.
It is the definitive solution for anyone who wants to be able to access everything they need in one place when playing their favorite game and using Steam overlay without compromising the gaming experience.

You're going to get some great LZ boss drops, and you're going to have a blast!
