Whether you’re just starting out and learning the world of DCUO or waiting to jump into the latest episode content, you’ll need to know your way around the On Duty menu.
Before we get into the menu itself, let’s talk quickly about your Combat Rating. Your Combat Rating, or CR, tells you how powerful your character is based on the equipment you’re wearing. Every piece of content has a minimum Combat Rating requirement. You must be at or above that Combat Rating to play.
When you open the On Duty menu, you will see the Omnibus (or Quick Play). Choose your preferred type of content (Solo, Duo, Alert, Raid) and hit Quick Play. You will automatically be queued for everything you are eligible for and taken into the next available instance. That's it. Repeat to earn gear, source marks, and more, and you will see your Combat Rating increase in no time.
If you want to choose a specific piece of content, select custom play and you will be taken to the legacy On Duty menu. Here you can look through all content and choose exactly what you want to play. The content is still organized by type, then sorted by Combat Rating. If it isn't grayed out, you can play it.
By default, the On Duty menu is sorted with the lowest tier content at the top of each category. Want to see the highest tiered content at the top of your list? Use the toggle sort feature to bring the top tier content…well, to the top!
