Quick overview

Select the specialization you want to advance, keep it active, and complete activities whose reward panel lists specialization points. Spend the points in that specialization's tree instead of spreading early upgrades across every option.

Detailed route

What to do, step by step

Use this order when you are in-game. It expands the overview with the checks and choices that keep the route on track.

  1. Open the Specializations menu and choose the tree you want to improve.
  2. Keep that specialization active while completing eligible missions, projects, and other activities that award points.
  3. Check the activity reward panel before starting a long run so you know what progression it offers.
  4. Spend points on the weapon and skills that match your current build loop.
  5. Change specialization only when you have a clear reason to level another tree.

Key details

Before you commit

  • Point sources and reward values can change with updates; trust the current reward panel when it disagrees with an old guide.
  • Specialization points are separate from SHD levels, Expertise, and regular XP.
