How to unlock the Hard as Nails achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - Definitive Guide

For this Trophy you need to complete the following Missions on Hard or Higher :
  1. Grand Washington Hotel
  2. Jefferson Trade Center
  3. ViewPoint Museum
  4. American History Museum
  5. Air & Space Museum
  6. Space Administration HQ
  7. Jefferson Plaza
  8. Bank Headquarters
  9. DCD Headquarters
  10. Lincoln Memorial *
  11. Potomac Event Center *
  12. Federal Emergency Bunker*
  13. District Union Arena
  14. Roosevelt Island *
  15. Capitol Building
For me at least Invaded variants of the missions Count as the Missions marked with * i did the Invaded Versions of, the Invaded Roosevelt Islands end section is much Easier so i would suggest doing that version if you can.
You can do this solo if you want or in a group with friends, in my case i had much higher ranked players than me show up halfway through the levels in some cases.

P.S. Not sure when it changed because a lot of places give info saying you can't see what missions you've done on hard exactly, for me at least in my Commendations sections as of the date 10th August 2023, there are five ways for each mission to tell They are as Follows:
  • Complete ????? Mission on at least Hard 10 Times (Can't Remember which Group its in)
  • Get 20 Headshots and Complete Mission on Hard (Combat Commendation)
  • Loot 10 Boxs Complete Mission on Hard (Discovery Commendation)
  • Complete ????? Mission on at least Hard without losing all your Armor (Tactical Commendation?)
  • Complete all missions on Hard or Higher Counter will say 0/16 when you've yet to compete a mission on hard (16th Mission is Called Tidal Basin and is a Stronghold but does not count for this Trophy)

    ~Potentially glitched~

    There have been some reports that this trophy isn't popping after the requirements have been met. Just to be safe, write a list of all missions and strongholds. Tick these off as you complete them. Doing them in order wouldn’t hurt either just in case.

    Note: if you get disconnected, rumours are that it will not count. You will have to start the mission again from scratch just to be safe or complete it and redo it to avoid missing out on good loot.

    There is an in game check list In the commendations menu, all main mission have a commendation for achieving the mission in Hard or above along with something else for example -Capitol Building Combat Merit is completing the mission on hard and achieving 20 headshots. The ones with achieving the mission ticked in the requirements have been validated in Hard Mode (or above). However, I would write a list as well just in case the game registers them in the commendations but not for the trophy. Thanks to Laurik for the info.

    To select difficulty, scroll over the mission on the world map and hold to change difficulty to hard. The missions you must complete are:

    1 - Grand Washington Hotel
    2 - Jefferson Trade Centre
    3 - ViewPoint Museum
    4 - American History Museum
    5 - Air & Space Museum
    6 - Space Administration HQ
    7 - Jefferson Plaza
    8 - Bank Headquarters
    9 - DCD Headquarters
    10 - Lincoln Memorial
    11 - Potomac Event Center
    12 - Federal Emergency Bunker
    13 - District Union Arena (Stronghold)
    14 - Roosevelt Island (Stronghold)
    15 - Capitol Building (Stronghold)
    16 - Tidal Basin (Stronghold) is not needed

    This trophy is best to be attempted after you reach world tier 5. By then you will have high level gear (450+). I recommend matchmaking for these levels. Keep in cover and take your time and you'll have no problem at all. Hard really isn't difficult so go with the load out that works best for you. Personally I use the turret and revive hive but that's just my preference. Check State of the Union for tips.

    A full team of 4 on chat will make hard a breeze if you have that available to you. Use the boosting thread to seek out others if that's the route you want to take. You can check out the trophy boosting thread here: LINK

    You will first need to beat each mission on Story difficulty to then unlock the ability to replay it on Hard. You can replay a mission on Hard immediately after completing in on Story for the first time, however it would be very difficult to get through without decent weapons and equipment so it is recommended to complete the story missions once each first and complete the main narrative, then get yourself some strong weapons and equipment while in the end-game content and then replay them.

    With a 2-3 man team they become very manageable and even on your own with good enough equipment they can be completed with relative ease. So for the easiest time with these missions, wait until the end-game and until you have powerful weapons before attempting them.

    You can track which missions you have completed on Hard by going into 'Progression' on the pause menu, then scroll across to 'Commendations', then 'Discovery'. Here all of the missions will have a commendation for having found all of the loot and having completed it on Hard. If there is a check next to the 'Complete Mission' requirement of the commendation then you know you have done it on Hard.

    There is no direct tracker of completed missions, but in order not to get confused about what you did and what you didn’t, you can look at the menu - walkthrough - thanks - battle (operations completed on a difficulty level of at least high will have a checkmark next to them)

    Grand Washington Hotel
    Jefferson Trade Center
    ViewPoint Museum
    American History Museum
    Air & Space Museum
    Space Administration HQ

    Go to Walkthrough -> Acknowledgments -> Service and sort by Operations.
    If you completed a mission of at least High difficulty, then you will have progress on the badge of honor for the mission that you completed at this difficulty 1/10.

    The trophy is glitchy. Correct progress is shown in Acknowledgment - Service. BUT!!!! When I passed the capitol, I was in a group and when we killed the last boss, the game threw an error and kicked me out. I re-logged in and, of course, my classmates cleared everyone after the boss and completed the mission. The mission also counted for me, I took the loot and went on playing, and after I cleared all the missions on hard, I didn’t receive the trophy. In the Acknowledgments - Combat tab, I didn’t complete many missions at all and I started going through them, but fortunately the second of them chose the capitol and as soon as I cleared it and I wasn’t kicked out, the trophy immediately dropped out.
