Best Skills

Upon entering the White House you will be directed to speak to the Quartermaster and it is through him that skills are unlocked. To be able to unlock the skills will require having the necessary Skill points which are obtained whenever you level up. The first variant of each skill will cost 1 Skill point with each subsequent variant skill costing an increased amount of SHC tech caches. This page gives you a list of all of the Best Skills in the Division 2 along with all their variants.

The Best Skills

Selecting the best skills in The Division 2 will be determined by what your purpose is. If your objective is to take out a group of armored foes you may want to consider choosing one of the three Seeker Mines options. These are easy to use and when deployed they will either roll towards a specific target or detonate by the nearest enemies. If your objective is to take down an armored target a good option is to choose the Riot Foam Chem Launcher variant. This will immobilize enemies allowing you to strip them of their armor with concentrated shots. Another option which you may want to consider which will benefit your team is the Fixer Drone which is a healing buff that when deployed will restore armor to your allies. There are also variants of the drone that can be used for damage dealing rather than healing.
