What It Is & Why It’s Important
Skill Power is an important stat in The Division 2 that you’ll need to keep in mind as you develop and improve your character’s stats throughout the game. Simply put, Skill Power enables you to start equipping and utilizing various Skill Mods in The Division 2.

How to Check Skill Power
If you’re struggling to equip a Skill Mod in The Division 2, the first thing you’ll want to do is check your Skill Power to ensure it meets the minimum requirement. To do so, simply press Options on PS4 or Menu on Xbox One, and select the ‘Character’ option from the menu.
Over on the left-hand side of the screen, just above your E-Credits balance and below your Armor and Health stats, you’ll find your Skill Power just below.
