[Top 5] The Division 2 Best Crit Builds

Division 2 critical builds
Discussing the best critical builds.


Critical hit damage and chance in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 are something that players look to increase as they further along with the game.

While many will see weapon damage of import, as it is, critical hit damage and chance increases a players’ chance of sending out harder hits towards enemies. 

The opportunity for a player to “useless but send more” is too much to pass up and builds have been created that center around assault rifles, rifles, and SMGs that have increased critical hits. 

There are plenty of builds and none require a specific specialization, but we are going to look at five of the most promising critical builds that can be built in The Division 2.
