The Division 2, Hazard Protection vs Protection From Elites. If I had to choose between the two it comes down to what exactly I am doing. Like the current Master manhunt mission is full of fire, the choice is obvious for that. Sometimes a bunch of gold colored guys are hurting me, but so are the purple and red. What is more reliable? Hazard Protection is typically more reliable in a way protecting from any colored enemy, the amount of self nerfing you do to your build has more performance issues on the PFE side (gear mods). At least this is how I see it, it is nice to stand in front of that one Elite laughing, but I’d rather survive the multitude of status effects that Hazard Protection provides since it is a main stat covering many things. PFE is simply very specific.
