Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 has a nearly limitless supply of loot

As you go through the game, you’ll encounter crates upon crates of goodies as simple as polycarbonate and titanium, to create some of the best mods for your weapons and gear. 

But what are some of the best mods that can increase your gaming experience?

We’re going to show you some of the game’s best builds for your gear and weapons before endgame. 

Players who like to use marksman rifles and rifles as their primary weapons view sight as their highest topic of import.

Weapons with low RPM like the SR-1 or the Classic M44 Carbine will need to have scopes to efficiently spot enemies with accurate precision.

While that may be obvious, just having any type of scope won’t be enough.

To know the proper scope for your marksman rifle, you must take into account various factors: accuracy, stability, reload time, and damage drop off.

One should also take into consideration for magazines, under barrels, and muzzles, which are imperative for the proper marksman rifle builds.

These same considerations must be taken into account for other weapons in the game such as assault rifles, pistols, LMG, Shotguns, etc.
