Your character in The Division 2 is highly customisable, and not just because of the plethora of equipment, cosmetics, and abilities you can unlock. Once you hit the level cap, you gain access to powerful “Specializations” which take your prowess in combat to the next level.
If you’re having trouble reaching level 30, take a look at our Division 2 fast levelling guide, which has a few tips on how to make the most of your XP.
The following video from Arekkz Gaming runs you through all of the specifics of Specializations, but we’ll take you through it as well below:
Once you’ve finally hit level 30, you might think you’re ready for your end-game Specialization – but there’s still a little bit more left to do.
To get your Specialization, you first have to complete all of the Strongholds on The Division 2’s map.
These are: District Union ArenaRoosevelt IslandThe Capitol Building
After you’ve cleared all three of the strongholds a cutscene will trigger, and you’ll be placed in World Tier 1.
Now go back to your Base of Operations and you’ll see a new desk you can interact with next to the Quartermaster.
Before we go through the pros of every Specialization, it’s worth noting that you aren’t locked into a Specialization once you pick it. If you change your mind you can swap out to a different one, as well as transferring your unlock progress, too.
This means that there’s not really much to lose from trying one out over another, then swapping if you’re not sure.
Each Specialization is based around a signature weapon: Demolitionist – Grenade LauncherSurvivalist – Explosive CrossbowSharpshooter – .50 Cal Sniper Rifle
Based on these, you could call the Demolitionist the run-and-gun-style class which uses a combination of devastating explosions, mobility, and fast-firing weapons to take out enemies.
