Bag pack

If you use Forge on The Division 2 tank build then you would need to use Foundry Bulwark on the chest or bag pack. You need Adrenaline Rush or Vigilance talent on the bag pack.

Talents

There are three talents on The Division 2 Tank Build. The talent on the Foundry Bulwark chest piece is Improved Materials.
