In Destiny 2, the Division is classified as an Arc Heavy Burst Framed Sidearm, recognized as one of the more elusive archetypes within the game. With only a limited selection of two-round burst sidearms available, the introduction of an Arc option adds a fresh dimension to combat strategies. The Division stands out not only for its rarity but also for its robust perk pool, making it a versatile choice for both endgame PvE challenges and competitive PvP engagements.
This guide outlines the optimal perks for utilizing the Division in both PvE and PvP scenarios.
Optimal PvE Loadout for Division in Destiny 2
For PvE, the following perks are highly recommended to maximize the Division’s performance:
- Corkscrew Rifling – Enhances Range, Stability, and Handling.
- Tactical Mag – Increases magazine capacity and speeds up reload times.
- Eddy Current – Boosts reload speed and handling following a sprint; the benefits amplify when under the “Amplified”buff.
- Voltshot – Delivers jolting effects to targets, triggering area damage via chained lightning after a reload upon securing a kill.
If you aim to integrate melee energy with your Arc builds, Pugilist is a fantastic option. This perk is particularly useful for Titan builds utilizing Thunderclap. Alternatives to Voltshot in the final column include Sword Logic, Kill Clip, and Swashbuckler, all of which provide beneficial damage enhancements.
Optimal PvP Loadout for Division in Destiny 2
For players focusing on PvP, consider equipping the Division with the following perks:
- Arrowhead Brake – This enhances Handling while minimizing recoil.
- Accurized Rounds – Increases the weapon’s Range for effective engagements.
- To the Pain – Improves Accuracy and Handling after sustaining damage.
- Kill Clip – Boosts damage output after reloading on securing a kill.
For an effective synergy, pairing Division with the Hunter’s Radiant Dance Machines is highly effective; when combined with the Hip-fire Grip perk, players can greatly enhance their combat potential.
Another excellent perk to consider in conjunction with To the Pain is Eye of the Storm.
