The Division 2 brings a few new ways to gear up and kit out your agent, not least among wh🐓ich are the brand sets. With brand sets, players can collect pieces of equipment produced by various companies. Equipping multiple pieces branded by the same c꧂ompany will award them some pretty sweet stat bonuses, with more bonuses being unlocked as the player equips more pieces - up to three from the same set. Brand loyalty has never been more rewarding! In the context of video games, anyway. That's probably debatable. Anyway, moving on!

You can even mix and match between different brands to stack bonuses f𝐆rom separate sets. For example, you can equip two pieces from one brand, and then two pieces from another, granting you the two-piece bonus from both brands. While that leaves you totally free to experiment with a wide variety of different bonuses, some are just better than others. So we're here to highlight the fifteen sets with the coolest bonuses.

And while we're in the business of cherry-picking the sweetest loot, we'd may as well point out the five best exotic weapons currently available in-game. There aren't very many of them yet, but regardless, they're definitely the most desirable firearms to have in your arsenal. Let us know what your favorite exotics, or brand set combinations, are in the comme𝓰nts!

20 BRAND SET: Overlord Armaments🦋

This set is fairly straightforward, but that shouldn't diminish how useful it is. If you're a rifle user, you're incredibly likely to tote around at least one piece of kit from this brand, as it'll grꩵant you a nice ten percent bonus to rifle damage right off the bat.

Continuing to stack up on Overlord Armaments will also boost your total armor by a little more than seven percent, and your damage versus elite enemies by seven percent, in that order. As a rifle user, you might be able to comfortably skip out on those, but tank builds looking to increase their damඣage mitigation might want to think abo♎ut picking up two pieces, whether they use rifles or not.

19 BRAND SET: China Light Industries 🐠

China Light's bonuses can seem like an odd mix at first, but when mixed with other brand sets, it provides invaluable supplementary bonuses that can fit into a decent variety of builds🥃.

The first bonus you'll unlock is a ten percent boost to all explosive damage, and the second bonus increases your shotgun damage 🔯by ten percent, making it an absolute must for high damage shotgun builds. Finally, the three-piece bonus will reduce your cooldown times by ten percent.

18 𒁏 BRAND SET: Richter & Kaiser GmbH

This can be a little bit of an oddball when it comes to the bo🎃nuses offered, but the bonuses can be worked into some really interesting builds.

Your initial, one p💞iece bonus is a slight boost to hazard protection, but this set's two piece bonus dishes out a meaty twenty percent increase to pistol damage. While this may seem a little less than desirable, utilizing it with the D50 or the exotic Liberty can amount to an incredibly substantial damage increase💮.

17 💝 🐭 EXOTIC WEAPON: The Chatterbox (SMG)

The Chatterbox is aptly named, as it never seems to shut up, so long as you've got a target to continuously hose down with lead, anyway. You're unlikely to n𝄹eed to let off the trigger for any practical reason due to two of its three talents.

Firstly, we have Incessant Chatter - with it, every shot you land increases your rate of fire until you reload. The real kicker is Box Magazine, though. Downing enemies refills your magazine by 20%, and will apply a buff that 💞increases your magazine size with every shot you hit. And if that wasn't enough, it refills your whole clip if you down a target while it's active. Spray and pray, anyone?

16 𓃲 ൩ BRAND SET: Airaldi Holdings

This brand set is an absolute dream for snipers and marksmen, since every bonus it offers see🀅🃏ms to be custom tailored to that specific play style.

Your first piece will increase your accuracy by ten ℱpercent, the second will do the same for your headshot damage, and the fi𓂃nal bonus is a plain ten percent damage increase for marksman rifles. It's simple, to the point, and well worth collecting all three pieces if you're the type that digs keeping high accuracy and solid damage over long range engagements.

15 ♔ BRAND SET: Providenc🧸e Defense

Providence Defense has a pretty humble set of bonuses attached to i🎀t, but it's hard to argue that any of them are entirely useless. It's a solid and well-ꦕrounded brand set to have at your disposal.

Your first bonus will boost your skill power by ten percent, and the second is a flat eight percent increase to your total health. I mean, hardly anyone's going to mind living a little longer if the going gets tough. The third and final bonus is🅺 a five percent increase to weapon damage. While that falls short of the damage bonuses provided by others, it isn't restricted to a specific weapon type, making it adaptable.

14 𓆉 BRAND SET: Sokolov Concern ꦯ

This set is likely to be a 💃high priority for those partial to the run and gun style of p꧂lay, rewarding them well with a host of nice bonuses.

One piece will immediately grant a ten percent damage boost for SMGs, and the second piece will augment that with an extra ten percent for critical damage. You can stop h✃ere if you don't need an extra fifteen percent power boost for your Seeker skill, but if you do, simply finish the set off with a third piece to unlock it.

13 EXOTIC WEAPON: Merciless (Riflဣe)

The Merciless is an incredibly unique and powerful rifle, so there's quite a bit to unpack here. Let's start with its first talent, Binary Trigger, 🦩which allows it to fire on both trigger pull and release.

The second talent is the one that really makes this thing shine, and that's Guerilla Warfare. Pulling the trigger will fire primer rounds, which will stay attached to the target - you can load up to five primer rounds per target. Releasing the trigger fires a detonator round, setting off all the primers stuck to the target it hits and dealing an i👍ncredible amount of damage. The last talent is a passive boost that applies even while holstered, granting whatever weapon you're using a five percent chance to deal extra explosive damage.

12 BRAND SET: 5.11 Tactical 💝

If you find yourself playing a⭕ more cautious and defensive style, then you'll definitely want to consider the bonuses offered here, as they'll help you to stay alive just a little bit longer - and a little bit can go a long way.

The first bonus is a five percent increase to defense versus elite enemies. Equipping a second piece will increase all incoming healing by ten percent, helping tanks and those with survivability issues breathe a little easier when they really need it. The third piece is a minor increase to weapon handling, so it's understand✤able if you pass it up for a brand that further increases your basic defensive abilities.

11 BR𝔍AND SET: Fenris Group AB

The Fenris Gr♍oup AB set provides a generous set of generic increases for assault rifle users. None of them are tไoo "niche" restrictive, and you're likely to get a lot of mileage out of each one.

Your first piece will kick things off with a ten percent damage bonus🅘 for assault rifles, and the second will yield a hefty ten percent boost to protection from elite enemies. Your third piece gives you the ability to snag twenty percent of your health every time you manage to drop an enemy, which is no joke in high-intensity combat situations. All in all, this is a great set for your typical front liꦛne AR junkies.
