For Tom Clancy's The Division on the Xbox One, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Need help W/Gear that has 2+ Mod Slots.' Increased the rewards for daily Hard and Challenge mission Projects and they will guarantee Gear Score 500 when the player has reached 500 Gear Score. Exotic Mod Slots Have Unique Bonuses – The Division 2: Operation Dark Hours. According to initial player reactions, these exotic mod slots don’t actually change all that much.

First, Let's talk about the Armor Slots, there are mostly defensive bonuses added to them like reduce the damage from the upcoming fire. From 20% to 30% Armor will definitely provide you an effective damage reduction. This guide will not only show you how the Armor stats work but also which armor to equip while playing PvE or PvP in the game.

As everyone are aware of how Armor mitigates the Gun damage(not for grenades), so going to 65% armor cap will not only give you an effective damage reduction but also, armor drops from 71.9% down to 71 which in return makes you, even more, stronger. Every Armor you equip has inbuilt armor bonuses, but the thing is which one gives you the best matters. Let's have a look at various Armor equip levels which one of the Reddit User had described in detail.

Armor Levels

Low

This is for the players with all Purple Armor with our Bonus then it will end up providing you Damage Reduction between 35% to 39%.

Medium

This is for the players with all Purple Armor, but with 1 or 2 armor Bonus and will end up providing you Damage Reduction between 40% to 50%. With good chest pieces and knee pads, it can easily hit 48% without fail.

Hard

This is for the players with all Purple Armor, but with 2 or 4 armor Bonus and will end up providing you Damage Reduction between 41% to 60%. This will also depend on your armor pieces you upgrade to chest, backpacks and knee pads it can easily hit 54% without fail.

The question here is which Armor or Gear Piece to Op? Well, this completely depends on your playing style on how you like to comfort them in your gameplay. Here are the Best of all teh gears.

Perfect Gear Piece

Body Armor(3 bonuses allowed)

Body armor doesn't provide you a big change so we recommend you to try the chest piece which will give you:

Armour
Elite Damage
Your choice of mod slot / health on kill / protection from elites

Back Pack (1 primary stat)

Critical hit damage
Armor

Highly recommend taking critical hit damage, as you may need the bonus armor to survive and only 3 pieces of gear can get it.

Knee Pads (two bonuses allowed)

Critical Damage
Armor
Damage to Elites
Gear Mod
Protection from elites

Knee pads allow for bonus critical hit damage, one of the best stats in the game for DPS.

The Division 2 System Gear Mod Slot

Tanker Build: Armor + Critical Hit damage
DPS Build: Damage to Elites + Critical Hit damage

Holster (one bonus)

Armor
Gear mod
Protection from elites

Gloves ( 3 bonus DPS KINGS)

Critical Hit Damage
Critical Hit Chance
Weapon Base Damage
Damage to Elites

Gloves are one of the biggest boosts to your overall damage in the game. Take +Weapon damage for PVP and +Elite damage for PVE content

Masks (two bonuses)

Critical hit chance
Damage to elites
Gear Mod Slot

Masks are one of the only slots that provide bonus critical hit chance.

Division 2 Utility Mod Slot

If you get 7 gear mod slots, each can land up to 140 stats including 1.5% crit chance. So choice wisely. Make sure you visit our The Division Wiki Page to know more about the game and different Builds.

The Division 2 Brand sets are a new feature and apply to all armour pieces that you pick up as you battle across post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. Every one of the six forms of armour you can carry in The Division 2 has a brand – think Gucci and Louis Vuitton, but with a Tom Clancy lick of paint – and if you stack items of the same brand together you’ll earn a brand set bonus.

These bonuses max out at three items, so with six slots and with 16 different The Division 2 brands (plus two we haven’t spotted in-game ourselves yet) there’s a lot of mixing and matching you can do to ensure your gear and style of play are in sync. For example, you could carry six items all from different brands for well-rounded build, or you could max out two brand sets that compliment one another for a more specialised character.

It’s important to note that while similar, brand sets are not the same as The Division 2 gear sets, which are tied heavily to the endgame. We fully expect gear sets to make a return, but brand sets provide players with a way of refining their character build from the get-go. There are 18 brand sets at the time of writing.

Here are all The Division 2 brand sets and bonuses revealed so far:

Murakami Industries
+8 health, +10% hazard protection, +15% Firefly skill power
Airaldi Holdings
+10% accuracy, +10% headshot damage, +10% MMR damage
Alps Summit Armament
+10% cooldown reduction, +5% skill power, 15% Hive skill power
China Light Industries Corporation
+10% explosives damage, +10% shotgun damage, +10% cooldown reduction
Douglas & Harding
+5% accuracy, +10.0% critical hit damage, +7% critical hit chance
Overlord Armaments
+10% rifle damage, +7.5% total armor, +7% damage to elites

+10.0% health on kill, +10.0% shotgun damage, +15.0% health
Golan Gear (unconfirmed)

To give you a rough idea of how you can mix these brand sets together, you could create a powerful headshot crit build by equipping three gear pieces from the Airaldi Holdings brand, two pieces from Wyvern Wear, and one Douglas & Harding piece of armour. With the right marksman rifle and good aim you’ll decimate foes with ease.

The neat thing about The Division 2 brand sets is how flexible they are, and if Ubisoft adds another brand set it could have huge ramification on the potential builds available to players.
