The Division 2 | New Skill Tier System & Overcharge Mechanic Explained 

Explained it so easy and in under 6 minutes. Tired of seeing other youtubers with 10:01+ tutoriols

Unrelated but related skill note. For the shield you can use a combination of Skill Tier pieces and Armor stat pieces (Shield Icon) to up the skill tier of the shield itself. For example, I have skill tier 2 for the rest of my skills but since I have 4 pieces of Armor stat based gear, my shield tier is level 6, giving me the full bonus. I just learned this today

worth noting for the tank bois out there -- Ballistic Shield also has a tier system, but it uses your Armor Primary stats instead of Skill Stats!! So if you wanted to have massive amounts of health and run a shield, you're good to go!

Thanks so much for this! I wasn’t even aware there was a breakdown of what each tier grants you for each skill. That makes a huge difference for my build.

Bruh this is my first time watching your videos and you made this so simple thank you I’ll watch your videos from here on out

Great easily digestible explanation👏🏿 I’m glad this popped up cause I was LOST looking at all these options, labels, and more 🤣

Thanks for the review I really needed to know that about how the tiers work

Thank you for explaining that 🙏🏾.. my dumbass was lost 🤦🏽‍♂️

Love how ez u explain it will definitely watch more from you

great video, man. Greetings from Tuscany, Italy

Bro thank u this simplified it so much yo

Thank you. Simple and to the point. Great vid.

thanks for the info

Nicely explained. Thanks. Thinking of going skill build for most of the WONY story content as I'll be playing solo.

Finally someone that explain the skill tier usefulness thanks so much ! division 2 for occasional player is not a self explanatory game we all have to research youtube to get the full extent of it !

thanks! now I finally understand how this works!

Nicely explained, good job.

Thank you for the explanation of the skill tier. I needed that. Can you do a video of what everyone can do for activities and such in DC and new York including the seasons activities?

Of note. One of the perks in the Tactician skill tree gives a permanent +1 to skill tier.

Awesome Brother been waiting for a video like this Cheers

We're waitin' for electronic build video. Thanx for all

Wow good video thanks for the content

Thanks for the video it explains things better.

thanks Arekkz, guess i need to farm for that backpack. been watching your videos since destiny 1

thank you for the help

Ty very helpful 💯

It’s worth noting that that backpack seems to be bugged and procs the overcharge simply by throwing the grenade. It doesn’t need to damage enemies right now.

i may actually hop back in now. thx Arekkz

Thank you bro!

OMG this is very good guide..simple

Thank You!

There are also gloves that if you detonate a hive skill it gives overcharge for 20secs. has a minute or so CD though so you can't use it constantly but combined with the other exotics you may actually be able to minimize the overcharge downtime. Also the gloves affect allies too and resets all skills for everyone.

Specific skills retain the “overcharge effect” sniper turret keeps its fire rate. Hives keeps speed. If deployed after buff. I have more to test but for a overcharge skill build sniper turret is amazing. I’ve been testing overcharge on many skills.

That overcharged stinger hive is terrifying 😂

Good vid. I got thos build love it ...

Great Explanation.

You forgot the BTSU exotic gloves give you overcharge when you detonate or finish the Hive’s duration...

You're an excellent help

I’m late to this but thank Areks !!!

Dude Thank You

Excellent as always thanks for the vid. What about technician builds that already grant 1 skill tier. If your gear is already providing 6 points of skill, won't the extra point place in overcharge?

Thank you.

Good and easy way to explain the new skill system, what about specialist who gives 1+ skill, 6 pieces on set, makes 7 in total....? Always overcharge? Im gonna try it....

@arekkz gaming Cant you unlock the technician specialization and get the extra skill tier from that?

They should do this "tier" set up for all three types. Just make red weapon damage and blue damage mitigation. Much easier to manage and would probly fix the issue with blue being completely be useless atm.

I made a my first skill build. Since I play solo I like I it because it’s like having a another player with you.

Hi, to go up skill tier 1 to 6 do u need to unlock them? Or can u move up tiers just by selecting knee pads, back pack, gloves all having skill tier. Also my recalibration bench says lockedor gear score to low and i dont have the warlords dlc yet

Incredibly helpful! I really appreciate the information. Cheers! 🤟🍻

Working on a seeker/hive build but not going the conventional hardwire route.. what way would you go?? Im lookin 2 piece hana u gear 2 piece wyvern bag pack exotic (when it drops) and 1 piece gila to give me survivalbilty... ive also spec skill dmg/status effect and only really running haste on 2 piece buff and mod slots.. Any tips on how to perfect this build

As mudanças nessa expansão ficaram ótimas!

Thank you making this video!! As a casual player the old gear was confusing I'll definitely buy the new dlc

Well I’m a dumb dumb I didn’t even realize this. Ty man

Ty

I'm using gear which +weapon damage. So I have to choose between +skill tier gears and +weapon damage right?

If i use bleedhive and seeker mine, should i invest in status effect för more bleed ?

What about the technician-spec, which grants you +1 skill tier?

Toss fire grenade... Oxidizer chem launcher becomes GOD

So I am a shield tank build I have my shield at tier 6 and I'm trying to figure out how to get it to overcharge. I run the hive. How do I know what 1's going first on the overchurge? And will my shield go into overcharge

I really like what they did with skills. On a side note, is anyone experiencing a bug with masks where you cannot see their stats? The ones in my inventory just say "purchased" or "looted". When I try to compare them, sometimes I will be able to see one. But there will always be a blank one. This has only started happening after the March 3rd update.

How do we get all the tier? Like I’m looking for the skill Vanity mod slot to chem launcher but I can’t find it how do I get it?

i dont get exactly one thing. 6 items give +1 skill tier. If i change to technician (which is +1) i still stay on 6. Is that a bug or it is supposed to be that way?

They updated that exoctic back pack. It’s now throwing a gernade refunds it and grants +1 skill teir for 15s. And GRants overcharging if all ready at skill tier 6

I have a character I played with until black tusk came out then I dropped the game should I start over to try and gain a n understanding of the game again or keep with the same character I’m leaning more starting a new character just so I can experience the game again and hopefully get a better understanding of it

Very simple explanation. Love it!

does game give perma overcharge if we have 6 armors with skill perks and skill for +1 from tech?

Huh...sooo I guess I need to get back into D2. Beat it and was fighting black tusk when I got bored and went back to D1. Thank for the info. I own Warlords and it looks fun, weird I'm saying that about the Division 2.

what do those bars under each skill attribute mean?

they really improved this game!!!

Bloodsucker with cluster seeker, OP! you're welcome lolll

hey how comes you got so many new skills than me. ive only got the oringinal 8?

It would be cool to see all the tiers for all the skills. I wonder what an overcharged decoy would do?

Wondering what the skill haste attribute means, haven’t quite figured that one out yet

Are these new skill tiers exclusive to the new dlc? Or do we get them free through an update?

Would throwing another nade whole in overcharge reset or extend it?? Didn't see CD in the backpack description.

Can we get overcharge with 6piece of gear tier skill and perk from technical skill tree +1tier skill?

Great System

Why do you have the shock trap??

THANK YOU! For finally showing how the hell to collect attributes from gear!

What's that outtro song called

There should be a permanent tier 7 when using 6 skill tier with the technician which also gives +1 skill tier

So the only way to go beyond level 30 to level 40 & beyond gear score 500 is to buy the New York DLC?

I've picked up an full Tech build recently and...my god the damage numbers you can get out of some of the stuff. The sticky bomb is at like, 3.5 million for me, it's ridiculous. Plus, recently doing a challenge I found out just how long the Blinding Firefly effects enemies for and Jesus it's not even fair.

Can u look at the skill tier Shield Wall thats on the shields?

Do you have to have the pass or dlc for the shock gadget or sticky bomb one?

Can someone please help me figure out why i cant find any mod slots in any of my gear anymore??? only have mods for guns and skills but some GEAR used to have mod slots and i have all these gear mods i cant seem to use

Simpler is not always best. Even with the new skills added the skills in general are still rather clumsy, buggy and not as powerful as we them.

How do I get a level back in the division?

Anyone else having problems with the hardwire feedback loop talent not working on PS4? Doesn't seem to work for me at all.

Having run a tier 6 over charge skill build i have to say overall most skills felt weak compared to before warlords new york dlc. Before seekers left entire mobs destroyed, and turrents and drones had very long duration. At tier 6 my flame turrent goes down in under 40 seconds, i had over 1 minute plus duration before. Hopfully we will see more balancing and buffs to skills for this dlc.

but which skills are still relevant, sort of, even on skill tier 0?

I have a question so you have to pay for the Dlc to play in New York right?

Has anyone noticed the off white keys chest in haven? Or have gotten any of the 8 keys?

Do cluster mines work or just the other grenades?

Hmm...my shock trap didn't spread out like yours did...

The technician specialisation has a +1 skill tier right?, wouldn't that make it constantly overcharged?

found a sick talent combo for being a support tank! chestpiece talent that gives 45% of your armor to allies as bonus armor for 20seconds when you pull shield out. can proc every 25 seconds so only 5 seconds of downtime there. tag on the backpack talent of you gain 5% of your armor as bonus armor whenever your shield is damaged for 3seconds. allies gain 15% bonus armor for 3 seconds. has a three second cooldown. guys thats just insane! the 45% buff can allow allies to utilize bonus damage while you have bonus armor talents as well as its constantly regenerating as long as you stay in the front lines. wanna provide extra support? tag on the firewall shield and grab a buddy to rush with you. now I'm just thinking but what if you ran two people like this in a group of 4 or 8? both shields will constantly back the other up with extra armor and all of your squishy allies with high damage are not so squishy anymore.

What about running the technician it gives you one skill tier if your at six’s it useless ? Or permanently overcharged ...

Not sure but if you get 6 skill points from gear + technician skill tree you should have perma overcharge.

I'm ps4 ...is it different than Pc?

i have a quation. does the armor core attribute buff the shield skill tier with each addition or is that a bug im experienceing.
