In The Division 1.6, we present an overview of all the talents of the exotic weapons. These are their effects.
With Update 1.6, the named high-end weapons were promoted to Exotics. These now have unique, “exotic” talents that occupy the third weapon talent slot and are therefore always active. The other two talents are randomly rolled and must be unlocked using firearms, stamina, or electronics.
Regarding the exotic talents:
- They cannot be transferred with AlphaBridge
- They cannot be recalibrated
- Some weapons function as a weapon set, whose talents only activate when both weapons are equipped.
