What is a Division 2 Build?
In The Division 2, builds are specific configurations of weapons, gear, skills, and stats chosen by players to equip their character with the best possible setup for various PvE or PvP encounters. These setups, also known as "loadouts," are categorized based on their intended purpose.
Like any looter-shooter, The Division 2 has a complex character progression system centered around different weapons, gear, skills, and end-game activities, which automatically necessitate specific builds.
This guide will thoroughly explore all these builds and categories, helping you easily decide on the best build for your Division 2 character.
My Build-Making Experience in The Division Games
As a Day One Division Agent, I proudly consider myself one of the most dedicated players who have had the opportunity to explore the fantastic universe this franchise brought to the looter-shooter genre over the past six years.

Given the game's complexity, things constantly evolve, including the meta builds. I’ve personally tested dozens of builds in TD2, making me well-versed in all the tips and tricks of build-making and min-maxing in the game. In this guide, I want to share the best Division 2 builds to use in 2024, covering both PvE and PvP. I’ve got you covered, Agent!
What is a Division 2 Build Made of?
The core elements of a Division 2 build are:
- Weapons
- Gear
- Skills
- Stats & Attributes
- Mods
- Specialization
These key components must be carefully selected and combined to create a synergy that maximizes your build's power and effectiveness.
Note: Keep in mind that in The Division 2, end-game gearing is closely tied to grinding for rare items and mods. If you aim high, be prepared for a significant time investment—but rest assured, it's well worth it. The rare items used in the best Division 2 builds are true game-changers!
The Division 2 Weapons
Weapons play a pivotal role in crafting the perfect build for your character. The game offers a wide variety of weapon types, catering to different combat preferences, whether you favor close-quarters combat or sniping from afar.
You can equip three types of weapons: high-end, named (superior versions of standard weapons), and exotic. Your character can carry up to three weapons at once—two primary and one secondary sidearm.
Below is a breakdown of the main weapon types and their ideal combat scenarios:
- Assault Rifles: Best for medium to long-range combat
- Rifles: Optimal for medium to long-range combat
- Marksman Rifles: Exclusively for long-range combat
- Submachine Guns (SMGs): Best for close combat

Choosing the right weapon type for your build based on your preferred playstyle is crucial for optimization. Ensure you’re using the best weapons with appropriate stats and talents to maximize your build's effectiveness.

With the game offering 20 Gear Sets and 30 Brand Sets, build diversity is vast. Each set comes with unique bonuses and talents, contributing to the game’s depth and complexity.

Skills in The Division 2
With weapons and gear covered, let's move on to Skills, another crucial aspect of your build. There are 11 skills in The Division 2, each with multiple variants. Your character can equip and use two skills simultaneously, offering flexibility in your setup.
Despite having only two skill slots, you can combine any two available skills, giving you complete freedom in your loadout. While we won’t delve too deeply into skills here, we’ll discuss them in more detail when showcasing the best skills for each build later.
Division 2 Specializations
The final key component of your build is Specialization. Each specialization comes with its skill tree, unlocking a unique signature weapon, skills, skill mods, and a special grenade type.
There are six specializations to choose from, each offering different strengths:
| Specialization Name | Signature Weapon | Skill Variant | Grenade Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharpshooter | TAC-50 Sniper | Tactician Drone | Flashbang Grenade |
| Demolitionist | Grenade Launcher | Artillery Turret | Fragmentation Grenade |
| Survivalist | Crossbow | Mender Seeker Mine | Incendiary Grenade |
| Gunner | Minigun | Banshee Pulse | Riot Foam Grenade |
| Technician | Missile Launcher | Artificer Hive | EMP Grenade |
| Firewall | Flamethrower | Striker Shield | Cluster Grenade |
Talents, Attributes & Mods
The next step is fine-tuning your build through talents, attributes, and mods. Each item in The Division 2 comes with a core attribute, and in some cases, one or two secondary attributes. Talents are special bonuses that enhance specific weapon or armor stats.
Items can also be socketed with mods—either gear mods or weapon mods—allowing further customization and optimization of your build. The "best-in-slot" or "perfect" item is one with the best talent, ideal attributes, and the perfect mod for your build.
Achieving a 100% optimized build requires the right combination of talents, stats, and mods on your items.
The Fastest Way to Create a Build in Division 2 in 2024
Once you've identified the items you need for your build, it's time to start farming for them. With features like Countdown and The Summit, creating builds in The Division 2 has become much easier in 2024.
The fastest way to acquire items is to use the targeted loot feature in Countdown and The Summit activities. These allow you to select the desired item type as targeted loot, increasing the chances of getting the items you need.
For example, if you’re looking for Coyote's Mask, select "masks" as the targeted loot. This ensures all named enemies drop masks, speeding up your farming process. Once you’ve obtained the desired item, you can reset the targeted loot to focus on your next item.
Exception: Raid-exclusive items like The Eagle Bearer, The Ravenous, and Regulus can only be obtained in raids. Similarly, certain crafted items, like Nemesis and Liberty, require completing exotic quests before they can be dropped as targeted loot.
Alternatively, targeted loot is also available in the Open World. Complete Control Points and Missions on the highest difficulties to farm targeted loot. However, unlike Countdown or The Summit, you can’t change the loot type, as it resets on a 24-hour cycle.
How to Choose the Best Build for Your Character in Division 2
Given the game’s complexity, choosing the best build for your playstyle can be challenging. Start by answering these questions to get a clear idea of what your build should look like:
- What type of combat do you prefer—close, medium, or long-range?
- What weapons have you enjoyed the most in other shooters?
- What are your favorite weapons in The Division 2?
- Do you primarily play solo or as part of a group?
- Are you focused on PvE or PvP activities?
- How much time are you willing to invest in your build?
- Are you looking for an easy-to-get build or one that requires rare items?
Answering these questions will help you identify the build that best suits your playstyle. Check out our 2024 recommendations and see which builds align with your preferences. You can either replicate the builds we’ve posted or use them as inspiration to create your own.
How to Min-Max Your Builds in Division 2
Min-maxing in The Division 2 involves optimizing your build around a specific playstyle, combat style, or role. The goal is to maximize your build's strengths while minimizing its weaknesses.
For example, if you’re creating a healer build, focus on items that enhance healing skills, such as the Future Initiative set and attributes that boost skill repair. The result is a highly effective healer build, though it may lack in damage and durability.
Here are some tips to help you min-max your build in Division 2:
- Use the Matchmaking system in The Summit and Countdown for solo play.
- Play efficiently on the highest difficulty for better rewards.
- Utilize Targeted Loot to speed up item acquisition.
- Play in a group with loot sharing to increase your chances of obtaining the missing items.
- Use the Tinkering Station to recalibrate and optimize your gear.
- Focus on increasing your Proficiency and Expertise Levels after optimizing your gear.
The Tinkering Station, accessible from anywhere in the game, is essential for recalibrating, optimizing, and leveling up your gear. Achieving the perfect build requires patience and a lot of grinding, but with these tips, you’ll get there faster.
