The Division 2 Gear Builder is a new build calculator created by Reddit user u/RTW-, and many fans already seem to be thankful for their efforts. Players that visit the Gear Builder’s site will be greeted by a simple interface, and inputing details, such as armor values and brands for the various gear slots, will give them a clear picture of the overall performance of any specified set of gear.
While many players are likely to use their own spreadsheets to make these types of calculations, RTW-’s Gear Builder packages it in a clean, user-friendly interface. That said, the creator is quick to mention that this should be considered an Early Access release.
To that end, The Division 2’s weapons are currently not part of the Gear Builder, though RTW- indicates that they are “coming soon.” Furthermore, the developer has stated that they are “not a professional programmer,” and users may encounter bugs in their time with the calculator. This information has prompted several helpful Redditors to offer their assistance on the project if RTW- is willing to make it open-source.
Another element that is currently missing is the ability to switch the calculator to World Tier 5. With the recent release of The Division 2’s World Tier 5, this is certain to be a feature that many fans will be interested in, and RTW- indicates that it will be implemented as soon as they have added new gear set items to the Gear Builder.
Despite some of these outstanding items, The Division 2 Gear Builder is a great opportunity for fans to play around with different gear sets. Then, once they have planned out the perfect build, it is as simple as getting out there and finding all of the requisite gear in-game.
The Division 2 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
