Division 2 Shock Roach: How to shock Roach twice explained, and all the Gunner Field Research tasks revealed

Division 2 Shock Roach

If you're wondering how to do the Division 2 shock Roach task, then you've come to the right place. The game doesn't really explain what it means, just that you need to "shock Roach twice". No, it's nothing to do with Geralt's horse. If you're wondering how to shock Roach twice in The Division 2, let us explain all we know about the Division 2 shock Roach objective, and all the other Division 2 Gunner Field Research tasks.

How to shock Roach twice in The Division 2

How to shock Roach in The Division 2

In order to shock Roach twice, you need to replay the Bank Headquarters mission on Normal difficulty or higher. By "shock Roach", it means you need to acquire shock ammo and shoot Roach with it twice before killing him. Roach is the final boss in the Bank Headquarters mission, but where can you find shock ammo?

Thankfully, shock ammo is in the very middle of the room you fight Roach in, near the metal railings. We'd recommend loading the shock ammo into your pistol then shooting him once, waiting for the shock effect to wear off, then doing it again.

When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
