All new The Division 2 Anniversary season weapons and gears: Stats, Perks, and more

The Anniversary season in The Division 2 has introduced new weapons and gear, including two exotics, which will help you immensely in your hunts.

All gadgets and weapons can be obtained for free, and each has its own unique abilities. Let’s find out how these new toys work in The Division 2.

The Division 2 Anniversary season gear and weapon overview

There’s a new Exotic in the form of Big Alejandro. This LMB has been a staple of the first Division title, and it’s now available in The Division 2.

Here’s a quick overview of how its Talent: Cover Shooter works.

• Every bullet fired while under cover raises weapon damage by 1%. This can go up to 100%, and the effect lasts for 15 seconds. The ability gets reset every time you get a kill from cover. The bonus damage will cancel when you exit combat, do a reload, or swap your weapons.

You can obtain the Big Alejandro from the Anniversary pass (available from the free track).

You can also get the Harrier Pride, which is a new Exotic backpack. This backpack, like Big Alejandro, is also obtainable from the pass. Here’s how Talent: Rebalance works.

• Getting kills and hitting enemies three times creates Red stacks. Each stack provides 0.5% weapon damage. Getting hit three times builds Blue stacks that provides 0.5% Damage Resistance. If you reach 80 stacks, you’ll receive a bonus of 0.5% Damage Resistance per Red Stack and 0.5% Weapon Damage per Blue Stack until the next Stack cap is reached.

There are two new non-exotics as well that will be part of the Anniversary season.

Gear	Talent	How it Works
Gear Shift	Perfect Measured	The top half of the magazine has 25% rate of fire and -30% weapon damage. Bottom half of the magazine has -18% rate of fire and 38% total weapon damage.
Impetus	Kinetic Momentum	When in combat, each skill generates a stack when it’s active or not on a cooldown. Stacks increase total skill damage by 1.5% and skill repair by 2%. Up to 18 stacks per skill, and lost when on cooldown.

That’s not all, as you can get 10 Year Anniversary caches throughout the course of the season. You can open them to get seasonal exotics if you’re lucky.
