History of High-Value Target

Overview

A High-Value Target (HVT) is a roaming Major enemy found in open-world destinations. It is a Secret Public Event, and it usually spawns one Major unit. When a Guardian is near one, on-screen text announces that a high-value target is nearby. Defeating it completes the event and rewards a Boss Chest.
