We’ve talked about armor sets before, but many things have changed since then. 

Ubisoft has been considerate to listen to the community when it comes to the updates, allowing players to reconfigure their exotics to level 40 with the Warlords expansion. 

Along with the expansion and updates, many things have changed with the armor sets in the game, and the community has found use for the new ones over the vanilla armor.

Last time we talked about the top 15 best armor sets of 2020, but now we’ve narrowed it down post TU9.

Here are 10 of the best armor sets in The Division 2.

1. Airaldi Holdings

Airaldi Holdings makes a comeback as number one with its amazing marksman rifle stats.
