The Partitioning ii Recalibration guide - using the Recalibration Station

In simple terms, Recalibration in The Division 2 is a manner of improving your equipment. There are various means to do this, of course: attaching mods springs to mind, also as simply going out and finding better quality items beyond the streets of Washington D.C. - but Recalibration offers a mode for yous to transfer across certain aspects of 1 item to some other item of the same type.

First we'll walk you through what you lot'll need to do to unlock the Recalibration Station if you lot don't yet have it; then we'll swoop into exactly how to use the Station to transfer talents and attributes, and upgrade your equipment.

How to unlock the Recalibration Station (Emma Richards)

To unlock the Recalibration Station, as with all other aspects of your Base of Operations that aren't attainable at the beginning of the game, you'll need to recruit a specific Staff member. For more information on all of these individuals and what they unlock, cheque out Dave'southward The Division two staff guide; but for now, you'll need to track down Emma Richards to unlock Recalibration for your agent.

Emma Richards becomes available to talk to the moment you lot complete three of the chief missions that are unlocked after you enter the Campus settlement (found in the Downtown Westward area of your map). Once you have completed your third out of these missions, you'll receive a notification on your map to recruit Emma Richards at the Campus.

Emma tin can be institute right in the entrance of the Campus settlement, just before the infinite opens up into the main Campus area. Once you've spoken with her, y'all can notice her again in your Base of operations of Operations in The White House, correct next to the Crafting Station. Simply walk into the Base of operations, have a left, and she'll exist on your left-mitt side - standing behind your brand new fix-to-use Recalibration Station.

Transfer Attributes and Talents using the Recalibration Station

Recalibrating items in The Division 2 throws everyone for a loop at first, but that'due south mainly due to the trivial limitations and quirks that we'll become to in but a moment. In actuality, the whole process is very straightforward.

Recalibration is used for transferring beyond two things: talents, and attributes:

• Talents are the special traits that come with higher-quality weapons and gear: for example, yous might take a pair of gloves with the Devastating Talent, which increases your weapon damage past +5%.
• Attributes are small value-based benefits such equally "+X Critical Hit Chance", or "+X Health on Kill". They will either accept a blood-red, blue, or xanthous icon next to them - this is important for Recalibration, every bit yous'll find out below.

Recalibrating an item volition price you coin, as well as certain resources. To recalibrate a weapon, for example, yous'll need a sure amount of Steel and Titanium in addition to the base cost of the process. It'southward also worth noting that if you've striking Level xxx and y'all're into Gear Score territory, and then you can apply the Recalibration to better your Gear Score by improving sure Attributes to an upgraded version of themselves.

How to apply The Sectionalisation 2's Recalibration Station

To Recalibrate an detail, first select the item that you want to recalibrate, and then select the Talent or Attribute that you would like to supercede - if you like, you tin can think of it as "re-rolling" that Attribute/Talent for a different one. Once y'all've washed this, you lot volition be presented with a list of all viable replacements that the game has institute in your Inventory. Select your replacement trait that you'd like to be transferred to the detail you lot first selected, so ostend your choice to Recalibrate.

The second item you chose will be destroyed in this procedure, but its Talent/Attribute that you chose will exist brought over to replace the selected Talent/Aspect from the first item.

In this manner, you can upgrade your gear in very specific ways of your choosing, in guild to put together powerful synergistic builds where all your equipment works together around a single goal or playstyle. For more info on some of the very all-time builds that yous tin put together in the game currently, check out our The Partitioning two all-time builds guide.

Limitations to Recalibration in The Division 2

Now let'south go over some of the limitations of the Recalibration Station in The Division ii, because this is what tends to misfile people when they're trying out this organisation for the first time. There's an awful lot of "wait, why can't I practice this?" or "how come that happened?" going on if you lot aren't aware of the following caveats.

• Once y'all've Recalibrated an item, y'all tin never again utilize Recalibration on a different aspect of that same detail. If you transfer a Talent onto a certain weapon, so you cannot use the Recalibration Station on that weapon again unless it'south to change that same Talent. Same goes for Recalibrating a specific Attribute - once you've washed it, you can't bear upon any other Attributes or Talents on that item apart from the one you added.
• You lot cannot add more Talents or Attributes than your item can hold. In order to transfer beyond a specific aspect of an item, you need to replace an existing aspect of the same type. So if you desire to add that Killer Talent, you'll demand to replace that Sadist Talent you lot already have.
• You lot cannot Recalibrate crafted items. For whatever reason (probably a good one), the devs have fabricated the choice that you are unable to use the Recalibration Station on crafted items, only ones yous take looted from across D.C.
• You tin can only Recalibrate items using the same type of particular. This one makes sense when you consider that there are sure Talents and traits that tin can only be found for Shotguns, or Assault Rifles, and you lot obviously can't transfer them across. Y'all have no selection when using the Recalibration Station only to use two of the aforementioned type of detail for every transaction - then AR + AR, Burglarize + Rifle, Gloves + Gloves, etc.
• When transferring Attributes, you can only replace an Attribute with another of the aforementioned type (aforementioned icon). This is where that icon next to an Attribute becomes more just a measure of your blazon of build. If you desire to replace an Attribute with a red icon, y'all can just replace information technology with another scarlet icon Attribute. Same with blueish Attributes, and yellowish.
• Pay attention if a process says "Capped to X%". Sometimes when transferring/upgrading certain Attributes, the value of that Attribute will exist capped at a certain indicate which is less than the value that it currently has. In the screenshot above, for example, you'll see that the "+ix% Set on Rifle Damage" Attribute that the thespian is attempting to transfer beyond will exist capped at "+four%" instead. Exist aware of this "Capped to Ten%" text when it appears, to relieve yourself from disappointment and give yourself a chance to dorsum out if it's not something you want to do.

And that'southward all y'all really demand to know regarding Recalibration in The Division 2. Hopefully this gives you an idea of how you tin can apply Emma Richards' Recalibration Station to better your equipment and your Gear Score. Now, and then; meliorate first improving your equipment, agent.
