The Division 2 Side Slot Mod
One of the coolest features in The Division 2 is how it takes some of the skills we had in the first game and mixes some of them together to create new Skills all together with different Skill Variants. One of the most useful of these is definitely the Hive, which can be used for not only healing purposes, but also for offensive ones as well. This guide will explain just how you can use the four Skill Variants for the Hive Skill.
How To Use The Hive Skills
There were a number of different healing skills available in the first game, with the Hive taking over as the main healing option outside of Armor Kits in The Division 2. The Restorer Hive Skill Variant allows you to throw a little device that will then use mini-drones to heal the armor on you or your teammates that are within the radius shown by a green circle. This will continually repair armor until the timer is up, making it a very good option to keep your armor in tact against a group of enemies.
The Division 2 offers fully customizable agents and gear. There is a variety of weapons, armor, and cosmetic options to find, plus more gear sets and exotic items available to high-level players. When you reach the end-game, unique specializations will allow you to further expand your arsenal and abilities. Gaming The division 2 Gaming The Division 2 has a large array of guns of many different types. In this guide, we'll outline the very best starter and mid-game weapons to compliment your squad. The Division 2 will have plenty of weapons, armors, masks, and other gears which can be used to customize characters appearance, stats, and other traits. The Gear Dyes is one of the many customization features which lets the player change the color of all almost all gears. But finding them can be very difficult. Agnostic Gear Mod Slots = Gear Mod Slot = Grey Mod Slot. The change is being implemented to allow for more flexibility in builds, while making it easier to understand whether an item’s mod slot colors are fixed or randomized. Changes in Title Update 11 = Image. After Title Update 11, the Gear Mod Slots no longer have a designated. One of the coolest features in The Division 2 is how it takes some of the skills we had in the first game and mixes some of them together to create new Skills all together with different Skill Variants. One of the most useful of these is definitely the Hive, which can be used for not only healing purposes, but also for offensive ones as well.
Instead of outright healing your armor, the Reviver Hive Skill Variant does just what the name sounds like. Just like the Restorer, the Reviver is set within a certain radius from where you drop it and will heal teammates within that zone. If they are within this range, you can manually have the mini-drones revive them, or you can hold down the button you have the Hive equipped to charge the drones to give the teammate more health upon revival.
While the last two Skill Variants for the Hive focused on healing, the third takes a different support approach. The Booster Hive sends out a mini-drone for each member on your team and provide boosts to them. This includes upgrades to different physical capabilities of the agent, which can definitely help a lot in battle.
Lastly, we have the one offensive variant for the Hive known as the Stinger. The Stinger Hive sends out mini-drones as well, but these target enemies rather than teammates and begin to attack them by targeting their weak spots. This may not be quite as offensive as say the turret, but it definitely does a great job and shows how much versatility the Hive itself has in The Division 2.
