Temporal Agent reward question

Perhaps someone knows the answer to this one. If I get the temporal probe for a mission and then quit the mission before finishing and never replay it, do I get "credit" in the story arc or do I actually have to complete the mission to get the story arc rewards?

    I ran across some people who searched for probes and didn't find them who were given credit for finding them and wondered if credit is given for story arcs as well as probes.

    There are two different objectives. To unlock the trait you need to complete every mission in whole arcs. To unlock the device you need to find all the probes.

    You do not need to find the probe to get credit for the story arc reward. You do not need to complete the mission to get credit for finding the probe.

    If you want to unlock both you do need to do both. But not necessarily on the same play through.

    ^ correct. In other words if you only did either one of the two before (probe or mission completion) you can go back later and just do the one that you skipped.

    For example if you forgot to "submit" the probe data after watching a cutscene from it but you completed the mission: just go back in, find the probe, then quit the mission if you don't care about the replay reward.

    Or if you got the probe but skipped the mission, just replay the mission and ignore the probe.

    And just to add to this OP, what you are talking about is basically trying to see if you can cheat/exploit the system....shame, shame!! :wink:

    ^^ THIS ^^ Is the correct answer.
    And just an FYI, it's definitely, entirely worth it to complete all the objectives for the Temporal Transponder.

    Yeah, both the direct rewards and account unlocks are from "good enough" to "great" depending on which ones you look at...
    Personally, i just need 4 more specialisation points and then just finish the DOFFs rewards, and i will have full case of Temporal Rewards...
