Interactive InterSec mission planner
Use an InterSec screenshot to estimate your standing automatically, or set it manually. The planner builds a practical shortlist from the mission data on this page — without pretending every contract is always available.
Paste it here with Ctrl+V, or choose an image. The tool checks that it is an InterSec screen, reads the reputation bar in your browser and estimates your current standing.
Your shortlist will appear here, with the next rank threshold and relevant blueprint pools.
Planner output is a recommendation based on the guide's listed contract data, not a live connection to the in-game contract board. Mission availability, rep values and blueprint pools can change between patches. Check the contract details in-game before committing.
