The Division gives players many ways to customize and optimize their characters to their play style, one of which are talents. The talents are like skills, but don’t have to be activated. Instead they provide a passive bonus to things like ability cooldown or movement speed.

Each skill tree has its own selection of talents to choose from, of which 4 can be activated at one time. You gain talent points as you level up, and you get access to new talents as you expand certain areas of your base. Expanding the medical wing will unlock access to more medical talents.

Making sure you have the right talents to match your skill abilities will be the key to maximizing your characters potential.
