Title Update 8 Brand Sets, Gear Sets, Exotics – Table of Contents

Title Update 8 Brand Sets

Hi Agents! The Division 2‘s Title Update 8 Brand Sets, Gear Sets, and Exotics, have all been overhauled. Trying to identify what these changes are, what they were before, and how they effect your builds now, can be a bit overwhelming.

To help with this, we have put together several tables of contents, which will continue to be updated as new brand/gear sets are identified/introduced into the game, and with the introduction of new exotics.

The tables you can find below include:

  • Old Brand Sets versus Overhauled Brand Sets
  • Overhauled Brands Sets on their own
  • New Brand Sets (that we have identified)
  • Overhauled Gear Sets
  • Overhauled and New Exotics

We hope these tables will help you to decided on what brand set pieces you wish to farm for. Additionally, I have included below the tables, a complete list of which talents you can now get on backpacks and chest pieces so you can work that into the equation.

These have been added as images to the article instead of inserted tables, so you can click and save them to your phone for easy reference.
