Release Date: December 3rd, 2015
Equipped with a diverse selection of arrows, deft hands, shroud of stealth and an exalted bow, the crafty Ivara infiltrates hostile territory with deception and diversion, and eliminates threats with a shot from beyond. Ivara emerged in Update 18.0 (2015-12-03).
Acquisition[]
Ivara's main and component blueprints are acquired from Spy missions (including Nightmare Mode) depending on mission level. Alerts and Sorties do not award identified items and therefore are exempt. All parts are in Rotation C of their respective reward tables, meaning they require three successful data extractions to be an eligible reward for the mission.
