Division 2 Perks Basics & FAQ

TD2 Perks Basics

Perks are mostly passive abilities that boost your character in one way or another. There are also perks that unlock mods that you can use forever. They cost SHD points to activate.

“Can all Perks be unlocked? Do I have to choose?”

Don’t worry about “messing up”, you’ll get them all eventually. However, there are certain perks that are better earlier on, or just simply more bang for buck – so having a perk priority in mind is a good idea.

“What Perk to get first?”

Disclaimer - everyone is different.

Everyones goals and playstyle is different. I can’t possibly tell you what to get and everyone will agree with me 100%. What I can do, however, is give you a good general Perk Priority which can somehow guide you along the way, while making your own edits.

This one isn’t easy to answer but I will try. We all know that guy who will race towards “Deconstruction 2”, likewise we all know that guy that will “Prioritize getting all mods!”. Below is an example of a good general Perk Priority.

Division 2 Perk Priority

I will try adding one or two more build paths for different kinds of players, but this first one is a balance between quality of life and combat success rate. There are a few things to keep in mind

  • At level 30, stop what you’re learning and check the bottom clicky for a new priority.
  • DECONSTRUCTION 2, get it faster if you can.
  • Get HARD BOUNTIES and CHALLENGE BOUNTIES as soon as you unlock them.
  • Some priorities (Stash, Detection 1, or Grenade related) vary person to person.
