    Once you get to the endgame, you can start to re-run the main story missions on Hard or Challenging. Hard is actually not THAT hard, you just need a good squad. I started on WT1 and then progressed up to WT4.

    The missions are:

    Grand Washington Hotel
    Jefferson Trade Center
    ViewPoint Museum
    American History Museum
    Air & Space Museum
    Space Administration HQ
    Jefferson Plaza
    Bank Headquarters
    DCD Headquarters
    Lincoln Memorial
    Potomac Event Center
    Federal Emergency Bunker
    District Union Arena
    Capitol Building
    Roosevelt Island <--- The last section is ROUGH! See my comments below for tips

    PRO TIP: When at the end of Roosevelt make sure you use the Gatling guns to take the fuel dumps down to almost zero, but blow them up at the same time, otherwise you will have hoards more NPCs to deal with.

    There is no DIRECT way to track progress, but you can do it INDIRECTLY.

    - Go to Progress
    - Hit RB to Commendations
    - Open Combat
    - You will see a bunch of commendations named "[Mission] Combat Merit" for getting 20 Headshots in a hard mission.
    - Each mission has a "Mission Complete" entry, if this is ticked, then you completed the mission on Hard or Challenge.

    EDIT: Go to commendations -> Service, and their should be a Service Merit for completing each mission on hard 10 times. If you've completed, it should say at least 1/10.

    The last three are strongholds and a tad tougher. My recommendation is to run a turret and healing chem launcher. Have a mid- to long-range weapon (MMR, Rifle) and a shorter range weapon (SMG, AR, Shotty)

    Just take your time, no face tanking and use cover effectively.

    metallicafan459@odiedodie - Is that because the mission is invaded?

    For me it looks like some missions need to be cleared once before you can then choose Hard as a difficulty (when in end game/WT)

    Actually I found another way and a safer area on the final part of the map. Once you've taken the gunner on the bout out dash over to the gunner take out the gas canisters and then proceed to the shipping containers and grab some ammo on the way as there is an ammo crate near the shipping container on the righ near the back of the boat. Shoot the gas canister and get up on top in cover throw out your turret on the shipping containers in front if you to the left and duck and shoot tajd the boss out with your M60 if you have one. Works for me every time.
