How to Unlock It
Iron Will is a reward from the Year 8 Season 3 free season pass track. To unlock it you need to earn experience points by completing missions, activities, bounties, and weekly projects. Using directives on difficulty settings accelerates your XP gain. Once you reach the required tier on the free track, Iron Will is added to your inventory automatically.
Resolved, Explained
Resolved makes your next body shot count as a headshot after aiming down sights. This effect has a 1-second cooldown in PvE and a 2-second cooldown in PvP. The talent only works with marksman rifles, rifles, or pistols, so it is designed for precision-focused playstyles. Landing body shots becomes nearly as rewarding as headshots, which is especially useful against enemies with small or hard-to-hit head hitboxes.
Build Tips
Iron Will is the centerpiece of headshot damage builds. Pair it with the Sharpshooter specialization for the extra headshot damage bonus and the TAC-50 signature weapon. Gear sets like Aces & Eights or Providence Defense amplify your marksman rifle performance. Use a high-damage MMR such as the Mantis or the Nemesis to maximize the benefit of every Resolved proc.

- How do I get Iron Will in Division 2?
- Iron Will is obtained from the Year 8 Season 3 free reward track. You must progress through the season pass by earning XP from activities, projects, and directives to reach the tier where Iron Will is awarded.
- Does Iron Will work in PvP in Division 2?
