The Division 2 Utility Protocol Mod Slot

• The Division 2 Mods system allows players to further customize their favorite weapons (with Weapon Mods), Skills (with S kill Mods), and gear (with Gear Mods). Some Mods feature drawbacks, making.
• The Division 2: Warlords of New York expansion is now live and the skill tree system has undergone some pretty major changes. Previously in The Division 2, players had to have substantial Skill.

Gear is split into these gear slots:

The Division 2: Warlords of New York will launch with the much anticipated Gear 2.0 overhaul, which will make creating effective builds easier than ever.The new system brings a host of much needed refinements, paired with a cleaner UI that will better assist agents with parsing what drops are improvements and which are trash. With more info regarding loot drops, ‘Rainbow Rolls,’ and agnostic mod slots coming on August 26. Then the September 2 show will dive into more news about a new PvE mode, the TU11 PTS, and Season 3. APPEARANCE MODS. Appearance Mods will allow you to change the look of your gear, separate from your apparel, to other gear items in the game.

• Mask
• Vest
• Holster
• Backpack
• Gloves
• Kneepads

For each of these slots you can find gear that will give you additional status effects, along side of armor value.

A higher quality item, or higher level, doesn't automatically mean it works better for you. Check the bonuses and values carefully before switching gear.

There are gear mods of various kinds, but little is known about them. It appears though that higher gear has usually more gear mod slots, and that the number of slots can vary on the same piece. If you have more mod slots, you might have less fixed bonuses on a piece of gear. Gear Mods are split into Gear System Mods and Gear Protocol Mods.
