In The Division 2, you can build your setups in three basic directions – damage, armor, skills. Here you will find a skills build that focuses entirely on healing its teammates and is an invaluable help on “Legendary” difficulty.
What kind of build is this? Here you will find a gear combination that expends all its power for the healing of the teammates. On the highest difficulty levels of The Division 2, such a build can be worth its weight in gold, as enemies deal significant damage and agent armors can melt away in seconds.
This build was presented by the Division YouTuber “widdz”. He and his squad use this healer loadout in their missions at the “Legendary” difficulty level. Without a proper healer, the missions are difficult to accomplish since the damage comes from all directions and hits hard.
In his English video on the build, “widdz” begins by showing some scenes of how he heals his teammates faster than they can take bullets:

How is the build structured? Every good build in Division 2 should connect three elements:
- Good damage
- Survivability
- Meaningful use of skills
With the large expansion “Warlords of New York“, healers gained a much larger relevance than in the “Year 1” of The Division 2. “widdz” presents a specialized build here that focuses solely on the survival of the group.
This is the complete build:
- Weapons:
- Weapon with “Renewal”
- Exotic weapon Bullet King
- Armor talents
- Vest: Vigilant
- Backpack: Safeguard
- Brands / Sets
- 4x Hard Wired
- 2x Alps
- Core attribute: Skill tier
- Attributes
- Repair skills
- Skill haste
- Skills
- Restorer Drone Stock
- Booster Chem Launcher
Minimal Damage for the Healer, but a lot to do
Where does the damage come from? In the case of the healer build, “widdz” relies entirely on his teammates for damage. This way, he has enough time to heal and can focus on his own cover.
His main weapon is a named sniper rifle – “Designated Hitter”. The perfect version of the talent “Renewal” increases your healing from skills by 40% for 8 seconds on headshots. A strong buff that you can grab every now and then.
“Renewal” can be on all weapon classes and normally provides 30% extra skill healing. If you don’t own the named sniper rifle, no problem. Use a weapon you like that allows you to quickly get a headshot and benefit from the 30% extra repair skills.
If the team is not under too much pressure, “widdz” uses the Warlords Exotic “Bullet King”. After 100 hits with the weapon, the magazines of the entire squad recharge. He also brings an additional bonus for his team with the vest talent “Vigilant”. After 10 seconds in cover, everyone receives 12% skill and weapon damage.
Repair Skills to the Max as a Survival Specialist
How does the build help with survival? Almost everything about this build is geared towards healing and survival. “widdz” boosts the “Repair Skills” attribute wherever he can, providing his colleagues with plenty of armor and health:
- Backpack talent “Safeguard” gives +100% skill repair when armor is intact
- Weapon talent “Renewal” for 30% extra repair on headshots for 8 seconds
- 3 Armor Mods with Repair Skills
- 6x the attribute Repair Skills
- Survival Specialist gives +15% outgoing healing
- Hard-Wired set bonus provides +15% Repair Skills
- Alps brand bonus: + 15% Repair Skills
With these values and activated talents, you can restore any armor in no time.
Hard Wired Helps with Skill Haste
What do the skills bring? Most of the work is done by the skills. “widdz” shows his Chem Launcher stats as a value template that you can use to guide your build:
- Booster Chem Launcher
- At least 1,000,000 armor repair
- Less than 15 seconds cooldown
- Restorer Drone Stock
- 2x Attribute Skill Haste
- “Hard-Wired” set bonus refreshes one skill when using the other skill
- Alps brand bonus: +20% skill duration
With the “Hard Wired” set and the additional skill haste, you continuously recharge the Chem Launcher and have enough charges to provide your team with lots of healing frequently.
Best Build for Group Healing – You Ensure Survival
How do I proceed with the build? Focus entirely on your survival and the healing of team members. Take no risks. You are the rock in the surf, responsible for guiding the team through rough bandit waters.
The Chem Launcher is your most important tool here. Keep an eye on the armor indicators of your teammates and fire a charge of chemicals when someone has taken a salve of bullets. You can also occasionally land a headshot to enhance your healing with the weapon talent.
The drone stock also puts out solid armor and helps you, thanks to the “Hard Wired” set, recharge the Chem Launcher. Every 20 seconds, you can secure an extra launcher charge by using the drone stock. Since you can pick the stock back up from the ground, you can always grab an extra charge if times get tight.
What is special about this build? With this build, you more or less completely forgo offensive play and sacrifice yourself for the group. However, in the highest difficulty levels, this is often urgently necessary.
What makes this build so good? The build is relatively easy to acquire. The set items always come with the right core attribute and otherwise only provide one value that you can then use at your discretion. Since you only need Alps armor, you can specifically hunt, thanks to loot targeting.
“widdz” believes that the build could provide even more healing with high-end items and without set bonuses. He also states that the healing is more than sufficient for him and his team and he varies the build a bit in the video with the “Coyote’s Mask”, one of the Warlords Exotics, to get more damage in.
The combination of extraordinary healing values and good acquisition options makes this setup the best healer build for legendary missions. Here is our damage build if you prefer more firepower.
What do your healer builds look like? Do you also take pure healers more often since the Warlords expansion?
