Best Specializations for Solo and Squads in The Division Resurgence

Now that you know how each Specialization works, it's time to choose the one that's best for you. Here's a tier list of the best specializations for Solo and Squad play in The Division Resurgence.

Specializations for Solo Play Tier List

Here’s the Specialization Tier List for Solo Play in The Division Resurgence.

Tier

Specialization

Description

S

Demolitionist

The Artillery Turret and Seeker Mines act as a second player, pulling aggro while providing the highest burst damage for clearing mobs.

A

Vanguard (Commando)

The Tactical Link auto-aim and crit buffs allow you to melt bosses quickly before they can pin you down in cover.

B

Bulwark

Extremely safe and nearly unkillable, but its lower damage output makes solo mission clearing feel slow and grindy.

C

Field Medic

Unless running the Tactical Pharma focus, soloing as a Medic is an uphill battle due to low weapon damage and long cooldowns.

Specializations for Squad Play Tier List

Here’s the Specialization Tier List for Squad Play in The Division Resurgence.

Tier

Specialization

Description

S

Field Medic (Combat Medicine)

The mini-drone hives and Oxidizing Swarm are the only things that keep a team alive during high-tier boss wipes.

Bulwark

Every squad needs a Tank to deploy the Phalanx Shield and lead the charge, allowing DPS players to fire safely from the rear.

A

Vanguard (Recon)

Provides massive utility through Smart Cover and Scanning Pulse, effectively doubling the squad's total damage output.

Demolitionist

Vital for "Armor Shredding." In squads, the Demolitionist focuses on breaking heavy armor plates so teammates can confirm the kill.
