Skills

Tom Clancy's The Division	Tom Clancy's The Division 2

After the Agents reach Washington, D.C. and secure the White House as their Base of Operations. The Agent will have the option to unlock any two skills. New Skills can also be unlocked in the future as the Agent upgrades the Base of Operations. Skills can be unlocked at the Quartermaster who sits at the main entrance of The White House.

With the addition of Warlords of New York, several new skills were added. These skills are unique in the way they are acquired. In order for the Agent to obtain the skill, they must defeat the enemy who uses it.

Base Game Skills[]

Seeker Mine[]

The Seeker Mine is a deployable sphere that will move towards its target in order to complete its task. Most of the options have it damage enemies in varying ways, but there is one where it will heal friendlies. The Seeker Mine can be assigned to any entity that is valid and it will roll over at top speed. There are currently four variants of the Seeker Mine:

- Exclusive to the Survivalist Specialization

Ballistic Shield[]

The Ballistic Shield is just that, a shield. It prevents an enemy's bullets from hitting the Agent from a certain direction. The shield will take a certain amount of damage before it breaks, and in order for it to be deployed, the Agent must be out of cover. The mods for this skill mainly affect the mobility of the Agent while the shield is in use. There are currently four variants of the shield:

Bulwark Ballistic Shield - Provides near full body coverage, but its bulk means that only sidearms may be used while it's equipped.
Crusader Ballistic Shield - Allows primary weapons (excluding light machine guns and marksman rifles) to be used, but exposes the Agent's head and legs.
Deflector Ballistic Shield - Causes incoming bullets to ricochet at nearby highlighted targets with clear line of sight to the Agent. Though not a full body shield, the lack of a brace means that only a sidearm may be used alongside the shield.
Striker Ballistic Shield - Modified Crusader Shield, allows the K8 JetStream Flamethrower signature weapon to be used while equipped. In addition, the Striker Shield boosts the damage of the user and all allies behind them based on the number of enemies in front of the shield.
- Exclusive to the Firewall Specialization

Chem Launcher[]

The Chem Launcher is a device that allows for various payloads to be launched over a large distance. These payloads vary in their ability, with most being harmful. There are (currently) four variants of the Chem Launcher:

Reinforcer Chem Launcher - Reinforcer canister disperses a cloud of gas that repairs and reinforces the armor of anyone inside the cloud.
Firestarter Chem Launcher - Firestarter canister creates a cloud of explosive gas that can be ignited through explosives, gunfire, etc. Applies Burn status effect on affected targets.

Oxidizer Chem Launcher - Oxidizer canister releases a cloud of corrosive gas that damages enemy armor, skills proxies and deals damage over time.

Drone[]

The Drone is a deployable device that flies above the Agent. It acts similar to the Firefly in the way that it can have a target assigned to it. The Drone has a variety of mods for it, ranging from the standard damage-dealing ones, to healing/defensive ones. There are (currently) five variants of the Drone:

Striker Drone - Armed with a submachine gun; Tracks targets and attempts to maintain line of sight while continuously firing.
Defender Drone - Deflects incoming bullets from a microwave emitter mounted beneath the drone.

Burster Firefly - Attaches explosive charges to targets that detonate if two are in close proximity.

Decoy[]

A thrown device that projects a stationary, holographic copy of the Agent which is convincing enough to draw fire from surrounding enemies.

In the Dark Zone, a deployed Decoy retains the Agent's nameplate, leaving the Agent without it for the duration of the skill. There's currently only one variant of the skill:

Holographic Distraction Decoy - Creates a lifelike projection of a threat to hostiles, drawing their attention from the user.
- Reward for killing Rogue Agent Theo Parnell.

- Unlike Incoming Repairs, this does not affect how much other players heal you.

Unlocking Mods[]

Skill Mods are items found through loot, dedicated to each of the skill platforms. They enhance certain skill characteristics like its range or damage. Skill mods require that one's character has a certain amount of skill power to be able to be slotted in, skill power being a stat that can appear on various Gear.

Skill Mods follow the same Level and Quality rules as other Equipment.
