The Division 2 Brand sets are a new feature and apply to all armour pieces that you pick up as you battle across post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. Every one of the six forms of armour you can carry in The Division 2 has a brand – think Gucci and Louis Vuitton, but with a Tom Clancy lick of paint – and if you stack items of the same brand together you’ll earn a brand set bonus.
These bonuses max out at three items, so with six slots and with 20 different The Division 2 brands there’s a lot of mixing and matching you can do to ensure your gear and style of play are in sync. For example, you could carry six items all from different brands for a well-rounded build, or you could max out two brand sets that compliment one another for a more specialised character.
It’s important to note that while similar, brand sets are not the same as The Division 2 gear sets, which are tied heavily to the endgame. There are 20 Division 2 brand sets at the time of writing.

The role of brands has changed quite substantially over The Division 2’s first year, with new additions, major reworks to each brand, and an increased emphasis on skills. Different brands excel at different brand set combos, for example, the 5.11 Tactical has a great 1-piece bonus, but its 2 and 3-piece bonuses aren’t worth it at all.
The neat thing about The Division 2 brand sets is how flexible they are, and if Ubisoft adds another brand set it could have huge ramification on the potential builds available to players.
