As you play through The Division and upgrade your Base of Operations you will gain access to some very useful Perks. Unlike Skills or Talents, you don’t have to equip these. As soon as you unlock a Perk you can start reaping the benefits.
There are a lot to choose from, and eventually you will have them all. But, when starting out, you should choose carefully so that you are best prepared for your mission. We’ve gathered them all for you, along with what they do and what upgrade you need to purchase to put them to use.
