In The Division , the “Underground Update” introduces new weapons and weapon talents. We take a closer look at the talents.
During E3 2016, a lot of gameplay material for the Underground expansion has been released. Besides the new missions, new weapons and weapon talents were also showcased.
In the meantime, more information about these talents has become known, which will be presented below.
New Weapon Talents of Update 1.3 of The Division
So far, we know the names and effects of three new talents. How many talents will come with the “Underground” remains to be seen.
Focused: If no skill has a cooldown, weapon damage is increased by about 12.5%. Since players usually frequently use skills in The Division, this talent will hardly maintain its effect for long. A skill power build that quickly resets cooldowns may be advisable here. The G36 Assault Rifles coming with Update 1.3 will always have this talent. This is essentially their fixed talent.
Decisive: When you eliminate an enemy, the next shot is guaranteed to be a critical hit. Since Update 1.2, a hundred percent critical hit chance can no longer be achieved. With this talent, at least a 100% Crit Chance is ensured with a shot. This is a “fixed” talent of the new SVD Sniper Rifles.
Hurried: The more critical hits you achieve, the faster you reload. This talent always appears on PP19 Submachine Guns.
Showstopper: The further the magazine is emptied, the more accurate the weapon becomes. This talent is available on the fully automatic shotgun called Showstopper.
With Update 1.3, agents will be able to re-roll the weapon talents. If you don’t like these “fixed” talents, you can change them. It is currently unknown whether these talents can also appear on other weapons.

Additionally, the new talent Distracted has already been spotted: Damage is increased by 100% when shooting at enemies with the “Blind and Deaf” status. This talent was found on the “B.L.I.N.D. System Battle Rifle”, a gear set-specific weapon. However, Massive has already announced that this weapon will not be included in Update 1.3. It will come at a later date.
