Armor Types & Attributes
In The Division Resurgence, your agent's survivability is heavily influenced by the type of armor they wear and the attributes rolled onto those pieces. Armor is not a monolithic stat; it's comprised of individual slots – Chest, Backpack, Gloves, Holster, Kneepads, and Mask – each contributing to your overall defensive capabilities and offering opportunities for statistical enhancement. Understanding the nuances of armor types and their associated attributes is fundamental to building a resilient agent capable of withstanding the onslaught of enemies in New York City.
Each armor slot can roll with a variety of attributes, which are secondary statistics that provide specific bonuses. These attributes can range from core defensive stats like Armor Percentage and Health to offensive enhancements such as Critical Hit Chance and Critical Hit Damage, or utility bonuses like Skill Haste and Reload Speed. The specific attributes available for each slot can vary, and their values are determined by the rarity and quality of the gear piece. For example, a high-tier Chest piece might roll with a sificant chunk of Armor Percentage, while Gloves could offer a substantial boost to Critical Hit Chance.
Beyond the individual attributes, the type of armor itself can sometimes imply certain characteristics, though in The Division Resurgence, the primary focus is on the attributes rolled. However, be aware of the concept of recalibration. This mechanic allows you to transfer a specific attribute from one piece of gear to another, provided both pieces are of the same type (e.g., transferring an attribute from one Chest piece to another Chest piece). This is crucial for optimizing your build, as you can replace undesirable attributes with more beneficial ones. For instance, if your Mask has a low roll on Skill Haste, you might be able to recalibrate it with a higher Skill Haste value found on another Mask. Mastering the art of armor attribute management and recalibration is essential for creating a truly powerful and survivable agent, capable of facing down threats like the Cleaners and the True Sons.
