Signature Skills

"Signature Skills are powerful tools to change the momentum of combat. Use them wisely, as they take a long time to recharge after use."

- Signature Skill description

Signature Skills in The Division are powerful skills that are activated by pressing both bumper buttons on console (T on PC by default) and cause dramatic effects. Once you have completed all the upgrades for their specific wing, the slot will unlock. Players may equip 1 Signature Skill at any time.

Immunity
Added in Update 1.5, players can no longer "chain" signature skills together. When a player uses a Signature Skill, the group is prevented from activating the same Signature Skill for 60 seconds.

Cooldown time
A Signature Skill's base cooldown time is 1,080s, around 18 minutes. However, the cooldown time can be decreased by a player's skill power, weapon talents, and the  Signature Skill Resource Gain attribute.

Skill Power
Skill power actively affects the cooldown time. The more skillpower you have, the quicker the Signature Skill recharges.

Signature Skill Resource Gain
The Signature Skill Resource Gain attribute does not decrease the cooldown time, rather it increases the value of reduction to the time when getting kills. When getting kills, the time is decreased by an amount. The Signature Skill Resource Gain attribute adds to that value. Headshot kills also increases this value.

Weapon Talents
The weapon talents Skilled and Trained can also affect the recharge time.

 * Headshot kills with this weapon increase Signature Skill resources by 5%

Trained
 * Critical hits increase Signature Skill resource by 0.1%
