In this The Division 2 Weapon Talents Guide, we will detail all the weapon Talents in the game that can be equipped to buff your weapon abilities. Weapon Talents in the Division 2 work the same as the previous game, though they have become quite complicated.
Weapon Talents are passive abilities that are found on High-End weapons. They provide various special abilities that increase the potential of the weapon and granting you benefits with a weapon in combat.
In the game, every weapon that you have comes with a set of Talents that you can unlock after reaching certain requirements. These are the player stats in the game that are Offense, Defense and Skills.
Equipping gear on your weapons increases these stats. The more gear you equip, the more these stats add up in your favor.
Weapon Talents come in tiers. Each tier has a specific amount of talents a weapon can have. There is the Normal tier, the Superior tier and the High-End tier.
