The Division 2 is full of many different systems, and unique mechanics, but the game doesn’t tell you everything in a tutorial.
In our time playing The Division 2, we’ve been learning a lot about how these different systems work, and uncovering neat quirks we didn’t even know existed.
Despite being a sequel, The Division 2 does away with a lot of what was introduced in the first game. This can be as simple as turning attachments into unlockable perks, to more complex systems such as how the game calculates damage.
If you’ve been spending time with The Division 2, or have yet to jump in, you’ll find plenty in this page you probably didn’t know about. There are plenty of early, and even advanced tips online, but here’s what most missed.
We’ll update this guide as we uncover more. Here’s what we have for now:
Switch your inventory view to grid
The Division 2’s UI is a big improvement over the original – if you ignore the arbitrary need for double-clicking on PC. The inventory menu uses the same design on all platforms, but you can make browsing the individual sections easier.
You can toggle on a grid view of the inventory, which will replace the long list with a shorter, better-organised grid. This can be done by pressing X (Options) on PC, or picking the same option on consoles.
Keep in mind that the option will only appear when you’re viewing individual sections of the inventory (such as weapons), not the main screen. The change, however, will apply to all sections.
As your inventory space grows, you’ll be able to carry a lot more gear, and weapons. Nobody wants to spend minutes scrolling through a list of 10 weapons to find the good one.
A grid view makes this process easier, especially if you don’t tend to check your inventory every time you get a new item.
You can customise your HUD
While we’re on the subject of improving the usability of The Division 2 menus, you should play around with the game’s HUD customisation settings. The Division 2 lets you move the different HUD elements such as the XP bar, minimap, and the score tracker in multiplayer around – with some limitations.
You can also resize the various elements themselves, which is a good idea for the minimap since it can better alert you to danger.
You can do this through the UI menu under Settings. From there, pick Customise HUD and see what you can do. You can even save several layouts, which is useful if you alternate between playing at your desk and on TV.
Don’t go too overboard with these tweaks, though, as the game doesn’t scale the font when you enlarge the various HUD elements.
Toggle on numerical skill cooldowns
Our final UI customisation tip is very simple. Your skill cooldowns are represented by a loading bar by default. While that’s helpful, you can be more efficient and have the game translate that cooldown to an actual number.
Imagine timing the start of an encounter to the exact second your offensive skill becomes ready, or being able to tell – at a glance – if it’s worth going for a risky revive.
To do this, head to your Settings menu. Under Gameplay, pick Yes under Show Numeric Skill Cooldown Time.
Safe Houses must be unlocked before you can claim SHD caches
The Washington D.C. map of The Division 2 is split into different zones, each intended for players of a certain level. Though the environments and factions are different between them, one thing remains the same: they all have SHD Tech caches.
As you probably know by now, SHD Tech is used to purchase perks at the Quartermaster, as well as unlock the various Skill variants. The only problem is, if you find these caches organically, you won’t be able to open them.

You need to first visit the zone’s Safe House and reveal all points of interest in that zone. Doing this not only populates the map with plenty of activities for you to take part in, it’ll also let you unlock SHD Tech caches in the zone.
Traveling to a Safe House and interacting with the object inside the room (hard driver etc.) is the first thing you should do upon entering a new zone. An orange Safe House icon (unlocked) is one you previously visited, a grey one (locked) is one you didn’t. Use that to decide which to hit first.
