Im actually wishing for some kind of nerf to alpha since thats what everyone uses, me tho i have a 1-shot sniper high end build going on, trying to see what i can do to make it better, but it has base damage of 133k with elevated,prepared,and brutal, i use a mobile cover and booster for increased damage and have a tenatuis(slaughtered that don't know how to spell it) and skulls mc gloves, my headshot damage is 178% and my toughness (in the DZ) is 359k and i use a famas with it
Big shame that two of the best & most knowledgable players in the DZ wont be in the PvP ETF though, could've really done with your input on this matter guys.
love the fact u still output content, used your video's and builds a lot back in the day, around release. just returned to the game and now i am your sup and ill trow u some like's on those video's. to be honest u got ahead of the rest of the guys creating content, just because we share the same country. (beside that u explain the why a bit more in detail, keep up the good work). tot later
Nice, I have a build just like that only completely different, but it's still 4 piece Alpha with refreshed mask and specialized backpack. But now I know how that build is supposed to be so off I go to make some adjustments, thank you very much MarcoStyle for this video.
Great video! I've learned a lot watching your videos and I'm going to start working on this build now. I already put together a healer Reclaimer build, but I need to tweak it to get better stats - keep up the good work!
Thank you Marco for reiterating the fact that alpha is op at the moment. And I hope they fix this as soon as possible. But great video. You go in depth every time, which I like. Keep up the good work.
Nice vid Marco. I agree completely with this build. Despite running myself with Barretts chest + Ferro's mask, since I got them, but that's not something everyone can do. If I didn't I'd run this for sure. Boostershot with Refreshed and Specialized is super nice.
@marcostyle alpha bridge becomes even more powerful when you run it with 7 talents - for me its competent, which i unlock trough the hand shotgun, i activate it trough pulse or booster shot, switch to my m4 and fire with 7 talents
Amazing Video! You know the difference with you and other million unskilled youtubers? You come up with ideas that are out of the box. Obviously you could have made a barrets chest alpharetard build. But you chose to find something even better, as I am sure some of the people you were fighting and beat had barrets chest. Thanks for being MarcostyleNL ;) **Also for being down to earth, other recent youtubers with catchy titles and thumbnails can be sincere in a video but end up being toxic in game. You sir are a different breed. Was fun farming the bullet king with you ;) You dropped a crappy alphabridge backpack for me.
I tried fighting 2 teams of rouges after 2 of my teammates died and even at 1,054,000 toughness they still kill me. Im pretty sure it was because they weren't standing in front of each other and every bullet was hitting me directly. plus i was doing battle with one guy trying to shoot me in the back. Lasted longer than i thought i would. Great build Marco!
@Marcostyle the Golden Build is still stronger and more Dmg then Alpha. Vigorous Chest, Specialized Backpack, Refreshed Mask, Championship Knee Pads, Skull MC Gloves, Steadfast Holster. i have a 471k Toughness 55% armor with 7k+ stamina and use the FAMAS as the primary with Destructive + Unforgiving + Uncomplicated and have 360k+ starting DPS i'll make a video and post a link for ya

SPUDOG 37 wrong just with my Pakhan i have 316k dps and 500k toughness at 13,310 armor rating and i am still using reckless chest. i get too 560k toughness if i switch to my vigorous chest and still hit 25k white body dmg on reds. i do nealy 30k white dmg to body on reds with reckless on with the packhan. i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo297/SirPhoenixKnight/Division/TheDivision%202016-12-17%2012-31-58-469_zpsdfyjluog.jpg
Get responsive or brutal (your choice) in the free slot on a G36 with destructive and unforgiving and then a FAMAS with vicious, deadly and uncomplicated. Use the G36 because it is naturally accurate and with responsive/brutal in the free slot you won't need any main stats rolled to fire arms. You will need to use all fire arms mods though so stacking enemy armour damage is very good. I have 330k DPS, 500k toughness and 100k skill power, 4 Alpha Bridge, Specialised and savage
Loved the video! Are you going to make an updated solo build video after 1.6 drops? Being with all the changes it'll bring and all. I hope so. Again, love the videos!
Yes, the stacking all three of insane. I've been considering trying that in combination with the defense ult... you would truly be invisible for at least 10 seconds.
I 1v4'd rogues with this build and it works amazingly well, especially when groups underestimate your toughness and DPS untill you hit the medkit and heal, then you can just turn the tables and turn into a savage. This really is one of the best builds for solo in the dark zone.
I'm relatively new to the game (and to your channel, hi!), and I seem to have a similar mindset when it comes to DZ builds. I am not a rogue player, but I use scrambler just to keep off potential rogues radars. However, I use the support station as being able to "super tank/death tank" groups of NPCs, even in DZ06, has saved me many a time. Currently using the Security Link as I'm short on points for the Medical Link. Must admit, I like the running speed for those GTFO moments. I am also remaining at 29 for a while, just to get DZ experience (and DZ rank exp), and bumping up my credits can't hurt. I use a SMG and a Bolt Action Marksman, with a Firearms focus, while still boosting armour and health when I can, and recently got a specialised backpack just to help skill power. I'm still tweaking my build, but I am pretty much at the gear cap for level 29, so it is only minor changes here and there. Currently, my stats are F:3137 (111984 smg dps) S:1641 (150929) E:960 (41966). Is that decent for 29? I am drawn between between my current support station and booster shot... any thoughts?
I've stacked everything in electronics (full tactician, 342k Base skill) I run barretts chest and relentless or specialised. I run seeker mine and anything the team needs based on the situation. It's pretty strong in DZ, players don't expect the seeker mine to instantly kill them and it's a good counter to the 'up in your face' Alpha bridge agents.
Amazing video, once again Marco. I farmed for almost 2 weeks for Barrett's Vest only to get a crappy roll and find out that it's bugged, so I'm gonna give this a try.
Barrett's vest is bugged; many report it doesn't work properly/consistently and there's a known bug with the stats not showing up properly that Massive has acknowledged. They say it works even thought the stats don't show, but many say it doesn't.
one little thing to have in mind that heads hoot damage for the mods on the weapon is good if ur are an accurate shooter and always aim for the head But when the target moves a lot and u are hip firing which most players do head shoots mods are a waste... if I was u I would use critical chance on most and ur build would be much better belive me I tried it already... overall great vid like always Marco... like they say in the Netherlands cya later :)
amazing build thanks Marco! only thing i have trouble with, actually getting good Alphabridge pieces. im only dropping Holster and kneepads for Alpha. cant seem to get anything else. no chest piece yet :(
@marcostylenl yeah it's the alpha bridge cookie cutter build but I think you put a good spin on it for folks who don't have Barrett chest. that 30% Health is, in my opinion, kinda like the the specialized book bad in that it's good all the time. Even get a nice boost from signature when it procs. And you taught me something I missed in your other video about critical save and triage. thanks Marco! P.S. About the hackers. I watched the white chaos interview video with a hacker should goes on to describe how easy it is and how he's been doing it for ever and massive ither takes weeks or never does anything about it. I'm going to chalk it up to them focusing all there funds and man power on fixing bugs and pushing out content. But I do fear it will get to a point where people don't want to dark zone anymore because of it, then they'll have to put everything on hold to deal with it. they should tap WoW's Watchdog.
If the point is to survive, wouldn't barret chest + refreshed mask be better? Your skills are constantly on cooldown, and a +10% armor seems better than a little bit more of healing with specialized backpack.
I'd like to see you make a build centred around tanking in cover. High-End talents Robust on the Chestpiece and Sturdy on the Holster give you extra armour when in cover. Increased my armour from around 50% to 64%. 350k toughness to 500k+ after the needed 4 seconds for the Sturdy talent paired with Robust. Pairing that with Smart Cover might make you very difficult to take down, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm still trying to think which gear set to pair it with.
Same here but I noticed something.. the FAMAS has a really low base damage. The boost you get from uncomplicated brings it up to par with other Assault riffles so you don't really benefit from it. I might be wrong tho.
Thanks for sharing something that most gang squad rogues already know but that will make a more even play field. Or it will set PVP in this game back to what it was after 1.3 with tanks invincible players - until 1.6 that is, with Massive new plans for overhauling the PVP experience. Will they succeed? Well I presume one's anticipating judgement is likely to be based on how one assesses 1.4 for PVE... Have you done a video on 1.4 and 1.5 now they have been around for some time? I'd like... to be beg to differ probably.
What do you mean? The other sets are actually really good lol no one realizes it though...4 piece lonestar is amazing because of the fact that you don't need to reload at all. 4 piece tactician is the best support build in the game, idk why Marco didn't use tactician for the healer build versus the reclaimer, I kinda don't see reclaimer ever being better than tactician. 3 striker 2 sentry and barret's chest is amazing as well, 3 striker, barret's chest, savage gloves, and ferro's mask is all really nice together..4 piece sentry, decisive gloves, bliss holster with assault shield basically melts enemies so fast.....you gotta realize there are so many really good builds still but everyone is so focused on alphabridge.
Hi maco, I love all your movie about gear set ect, and i wanna see a build about Hunter's Faith if you can do ! Talking about What do you think and what you want to change on this set !
lol I wish...soloing incursions and every content would be so much easier..it would also let me go back into DZ lol, tbh they should've just left it alone, sure lower the damage stack down but not to a shitty 5% lmao..it should've been at least a 10%
I know that alphabridge is good but now that every one is running it I wanted something different so I'm focusing on something else that produce stat effects on players (having 4 pieces pred a ferros oxygen mask and even having intense on your primary) cause for the few times I've 1v1 or 1vMany in the dz I've found it game changing according to my play style ( also I'm a console player )... what do you think could a stat effect focused build for pvp top the Alpha build?
@MarcoStyle I highly doubt this will get any notice but could you do an LMG build. I have been playing with them a lot but putting something together has been challenge and It would be cool if you found a good build for PVP/PVE
As always very solid build Macro, but somehow PVP in its current state or the way armor works in PvP feels somewhat inconsistent atm. We've been running similar solo builds that yields relatively similar results yet we've encountered individuals that will decimate us in a few hits while taking very little dmg from us despite having a 58% armor penetration over 340k base DPS over 400k toughness with 54% mitigation plus a Barrets chest (extra 10% toughness ) and in most encounters were pretty sure that those buffs that increase resistance werent procked. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
how about Refreshed/Rapid instead of Specialized? Thoughts? Worth sacrificing the additional SP to reduce heal cooldowns? Seems like maybe you'd have to spec into Elec/Sp a tad more to be worth it so kind of a wash? idk..
Kane TheOne you'd have to look at your stats and see how much that 15% bonus of rapid is gonna help. Personally I'd go with specialized. Free skill power.
AB isn't OP. The other sets need buffs. Not all of them. Just the trash Tier ones. Reclaimed, tacticians etc. but some would disagree that those are even trash Tier either. But I play solo 100% of the time. Been playing since launch. I have a AB build, PM build, FireCrest and strikers builds. Min maxed out. My favorite is strikers at the moment. But I do love AB the most, just new to striker. Haven't had it since 1.2. Good video. I run the same build and talents besides the police M4. Run a Lightweight M4.
If using the healer build wouldn't strike back be even better than combat medic?? Since you would be providing more heals essentially. Or does Strike back, triage and critical save only proc solo when using a medkit in the last bar?? Sorry, 1 more question. Wouldn't using a shield build with BS DMR mods be pretty good for solo players also?? I mean the mods offer 20% ADR 100% of the time that you have the shield deployed. Therefore, its like procing On the move and critical save every time you heal yourself in the last bar of health. Ultra tanky with booster shot. 75% ADR just for timing the medkit properly. Yes, your movement is restricted but for console players I believe this is a viable SOLO build. Any thoughts?
need to get this lol, right now im using 3 peice Lone Star and 2 piece nomad, with one reclaimer, dps is alright but toughness could be better, 230k DPS/330k Toughness/100K Skill
I prefer u make a video about how to optimize all the gear types. OR! a different approach to alpha thata build toward a support role. utilizing the skill power talent
Haha I use something like this can proc myself to 3.650.000~ toughness...... 10 seconds of invincibility add in a tac alt and you are gold..... Btw Marco love your vids keep it up mate
not hopping on the barrett band wagon but i'm curious if you considered it while making this build. i gotta say, this looks like it would be a lot stronger. all that time spent grinding for one and i can't find a use for it. maybe an all high end build?
Marco do you have any info on the difference in damage between armor pen vs damage out of cover or flat increases from competent in PvP? Is destructive better than competent? I haven't seen a tier list for talents. So if you can't get these ___ talents then is a 3 piece pred/striker better because the 8% dmg from pred and 10% armor pen from striker. Obviously you'll be squishier without refreshed mask.
Why did you put weapon mods with accuracy and stability? Because those are nerfing the damage that uncomplicated is giving you. Or am I missing something? :D
I wish this game actually explained how things work WITHIN THE GAME. It's so fkn annoying having to Google so many perks or talents because of the shitty 4 word vague descriptions given. The developer knows _exactly_ how everything works but for some reason we are supposed to waste hours in forums like a two bit Sherlock Holmes sifting through conflicting or incorrect information that may or may not apply anymore to the current release. When I use CAD software, it comes with actual words that describe what the functions actually do. I know, it's crazy, there are people who can actually figure out how to form words and sentences into meaningful information and as if by magic, put it in the software.
They do shit like this on purpose now so that it leads to a more thriving internet community/following Truth be told that's a large reason why Bungie don't add matchmaking to raids.
some of us stick with these games because we enjoy the theory crafting aspect. Theory crafting involves testing out different things and also results in helpful informative content. I do see your point though. There could definitely be more information given by the devs for the players to help theory crafting efforts.
Brian Summerlin That is why i like this game too. I enjoy trying out different gear and configuring for the highest damage or whatever. It's very difficult to do that though if you don't know the difference between "signature skill resources" and "all skill cool downs" for example or "exotic damage resilience" vs "exotic damage resistance".

that intro made me giggle, wish there was more build diversity in 1.5 tho
Im actually wishing for some kind of nerf to alpha since thats what everyone uses, me tho i have a 1-shot sniper high end build going on, trying to see what i can do to make it better, but it has base damage of 133k with elevated,prepared,and brutal, i use a mobile cover and booster for increased damage and have a tenatuis(slaughtered that don't know how to spell it) and skulls mc gloves, my headshot damage is 178% and my toughness (in the DZ) is 359k and i use a famas with it
widdz this is when two great division players are talking...
1.5 Dark Zone is trash... its so fucking bad
i cant believe how easily they just fuck up the game after they just revived it
Big shame that two of the best & most knowledgable players in the DZ wont be in the PvP ETF though, could've really done with your input on this matter guys.
widdz i wish there was more build diversity in the game period . There is always a trend that comes and dies
Quality not quantity, nice one Marco!
Because of your QUALITY content, I was able to get back into the Division and actually enjoy my experience. thank you.
Perfect video. 10 minutes is acceptable time wise. All your choices explained. And tons of nifty little known game mechanics. Love it =)
Best alpha bridge video I've seen to date!!! Thank you for this!
thank you for keeping me alive with this build
love the fact u still output content, used your video's and builds a lot back in the day, around release.
just returned to the game and now i am your sup and ill trow u some like's on those video's.
to be honest u got ahead of the rest of the guys creating content, just because we share the same country. (beside that u explain the why a bit more in detail, keep up the good work).

Nice, I have a build just like that only completely different, but it's still 4 piece Alpha with refreshed mask and specialized backpack. But now I know how that build is supposed to be so off I go to make some adjustments, thank you very much MarcoStyle for this video.
313k dps, 466k toughness and 116k electronics vs. MarcoStyles 124k, 490k and 118k. Close enough I would say :-)
Great video! I've learned a lot watching your videos and I'm going to start working on this build now. I already put together a healer Reclaimer build, but I need to tweak it to get better stats - keep up the good work!
Fantastic vid Marco, ive been playing since release.......and just picked up some wicked tips on skill uses, great work, keep it up !!!!!
Thank you Marco for reiterating the fact that alpha is op at the moment. And I hope they fix this as soon as possible. But great video. You go in depth every time, which I like. Keep up the good work.
very good. playing since day one and still learning new things that i didnt know. thx for that!
They need to reduce the health of downed agents, it's insane that it takes almost an entire mag to finish them
Josh Dumont get more DPS lol I can drop and fold dudes in less than a mag
BiLLYb0ngTHRTN / AA-12_Billy how, what are your stats
Josh Dumont All high end build, 335k DPS and 420k toughness. Alpha Bridge, 360k dps, 420k toughness. I think the Alpha melts faster
Josh Dumont stack enemy armor dmg as well.on mask and kneepads
BiLLYb0ngTHRTN / AA-12_Billy I have the same stats as you
Nice vid Marco. I agree completely with this build.
Despite running myself with Barretts chest + Ferro's mask, since I got them, but that's not something everyone can do.
If I didn't I'd run this for sure.
Boostershot with Refreshed and Specialized is super nice.
Nices setup MS. Will definitely try this gear setup because I always get jump by group with nearly no luck what so ever. Thanks
this is amazing, gonna give it a shot since I mostly am a solo pvp'er. subbed!
@marcostyle alpha bridge becomes even more powerful when you run it with 7 talents - for me its competent, which i unlock trough the hand shotgun, i activate it trough pulse or booster shot, switch to my m4 and fire with 7 talents
Nice Video! Got a cracking Alphabridge build on the back of this, thanks :)

You.Are.The.Man. Thank you!
Your videos are great, man! THX! ;)
great video brotha very informative thank you

@marcostylenl yeah it's the alpha bridge cookie cutter build but I think you put a good spin on it for folks who don't have Barrett chest. that 30% Health is, in my opinion, kinda like the the specialized book bad in that it's good all the time. Even get a nice boost from signature when it procs. And you taught me something I missed in your other video about critical save and triage. thanks Marco!
P.S. About the hackers. I watched the white chaos interview video with a hacker should goes on to describe how easy it is and how he's been doing it for ever and massive ither takes weeks or never does anything about it. I'm going to chalk it up to them focusing all there funds and man power on fixing bugs and pushing out content. But I do fear it will get to a point where people don't want to dark zone anymore because of it, then they'll have to put everything on hold to deal with it.
they should tap WoW's Watchdog.
@marcostyle will the mods on both guns effect the uncomplicated talent?
Thank you very much marco..you are the man
If the point is to survive, wouldn't barret chest + refreshed mask be better? Your skills are constantly on cooldown, and a +10% armor seems better than a little bit more of healing with specialized backpack.
Finally, Thank you!
I'd like to see you make a build centred around tanking in cover. High-End talents Robust on the Chestpiece and Sturdy on the Holster give you extra armour when in cover. Increased my armour from around 50% to 64%. 350k toughness to 500k+ after the needed 4 seconds for the Sturdy talent paired with Robust. Pairing that with Smart Cover might make you very difficult to take down, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm still trying to think which gear set to pair it with.

Jeez Marco, just when I thought this was going to be alpha-boring, you do some crazy shit.
A million toughness...A MILLION?!?!
All high end? Skull gloves, Barrett chest piece, specialized backpack? You like?
dee21133 that's what I'm running. 335 DPs/540 stamina 106 skill. running a FAMAS with unforgiving, uncomplicated, destructive
Same here but I noticed something.. the FAMAS has a really low base damage. The boost you get from uncomplicated brings it up to par with other Assault riffles so you don't really benefit from it. I might be wrong tho.
Yup me too, and loving it, got me & my mate run all high ends we do great, don't need Alpha to do well.
y0 Dee throw in those championship kneepads for good measure!
Yeah man, they are key to the build, folks don't expect the instant boom!!! haha
Was waiting for this alrdy ;) I'll watch it tonight. Go sleep now Kappa
Great video!
Nice vid helped me out alot
Amazing vid!!
Thanks for sharing something that most gang squad rogues already know but that will make a more even play field. Or it will set PVP in this game back to what it was after 1.3 with tanks invincible players - until 1.6 that is, with Massive new plans for overhauling the PVP experience. Will they succeed? Well I presume one's anticipating judgement is likely to be based on how one assesses 1.4 for PVE... Have you done a video on 1.4 and 1.5 now they have been around for some time? I'd like... to be beg to differ probably.
If they dont bring back the other sets i'll fucking riot
NakedAvanger go riot kid
NakedAvanger pretty much, are you a shotgun warrior?
inb4 Varrock Wildy riots
How is bullsheeet not banned yet?...I've seen him hacking on multiple UA-cam videos
What do you mean? The other sets are actually really good lol no one realizes it though...4 piece lonestar is amazing because of the fact that you don't need to reload at all. 4 piece tactician is the best support build in the game, idk why Marco didn't use tactician for the healer build versus the reclaimer, I kinda don't see reclaimer ever being better than tactician. 3 striker 2 sentry and barret's chest is amazing as well, 3 striker, barret's chest, savage gloves, and ferro's mask is all really nice together..4 piece sentry, decisive gloves, bliss holster with assault shield basically melts enemies so fast.....you gotta realize there are so many really good builds still but everyone is so focused on alphabridge.
I'm going to have to give this a try tonight. I always get smashed in the dark zone when I go solo 😡
Do an updated beginners guide for the people that have been out of the mix for a while. Please
Hi maco, I love all your movie about gear set ect, and i wanna see a build about Hunter's Faith if you can do ! Talking about What do you think and what you want to change on this set !
Make sentry proc on smg again. Those were crazy days.
those were the golden days
Marcin Kapinski those were fucking shitty days
Marcin Kapinski I used to rekt servers solo dude. Manhunt all the time.
lol I wish...soloing incursions and every content would be so much easier..it would also let me go back into DZ lol, tbh they should've just left it alone, sure lower the damage stack down but not to a shitty 5% lmao..it should've been at least a 10%
I know that alphabridge is good but now that every one is running it I wanted something different so I'm focusing on something else that produce stat effects on players (having 4 pieces pred a ferros oxygen mask and even having intense on your primary) cause for the few times I've 1v1 or 1vMany in the dz I've found it game changing according to my play style ( also I'm a console player )... what do you think could a stat effect focused build for pvp top the Alpha build?
you are a monster man! thanks for sharing! :-)
if u take of the mods n your FAMAS, it will increase your primary DPS due to the talent " uncomplicated"
nice was hier op zoek thx!!
Guhhh, I can't wait for 1.6, way too much Alpha Bridge everywhere. Nice vid though Marco
Thank you Marco. Will you make an updated Tactician build for 1.5 soon?
@MarcoStyle I highly doubt this will get any notice but could you do an LMG build. I have been playing with them a lot but putting something together has been challenge and It would be cool if you found a good build for PVP/PVE
my build.
Dps toughness Skill power
369,627 545,140 82,500
54.40% weapon dmg mitigation
As always very solid build Macro, but somehow PVP in its current state or the way armor works in PvP feels somewhat inconsistent atm. We've been running similar solo builds that yields relatively similar results yet we've encountered individuals that will decimate us in a few hits while taking very little dmg from us despite having a 58% armor penetration over 340k base DPS over 400k toughness with 54% mitigation plus a Barrets chest (extra 10% toughness ) and in most encounters were pretty sure that those buffs that increase resistance werent procked. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Marco at 3:38 how are you making pictures like this?
how about Refreshed/Rapid instead of Specialized? Thoughts? Worth sacrificing the additional SP to reduce heal cooldowns? Seems like maybe you'd have to spec into Elec/Sp a tad more to be worth it so kind of a wash? idk..
Kane TheOne you'd have to look at your stats and see how much that 15% bonus of rapid is gonna help. Personally I'd go with specialized. Free skill power.
That's what I want that build right there u can solo dz and pve with ease and be helpful for your teammates awesome. 👌
AB isn't OP. The other sets need buffs. Not all of them. Just the trash Tier ones. Reclaimed, tacticians etc. but some would disagree that those are even trash Tier either. But I play solo 100% of the time. Been playing since launch. I have a AB build, PM build, FireCrest and strikers builds. Min maxed out. My favorite is strikers at the moment. But I do love AB the most, just new to striker. Haven't had it since 1.2. Good video. I run the same build and talents besides the police M4. Run a Lightweight M4.
Good video marco
Great vid. What skills/talents would you switch up when using this build in a group, if any?
MarcoStyle do you every run the Barrett chest piece ?
If using the healer build wouldn't strike back be even better than combat medic?? Since you would be providing more heals essentially. Or does Strike back, triage and critical save only proc solo when using a medkit in the last bar?? Sorry, 1 more question. Wouldn't using a shield build with BS DMR mods be pretty good for solo players also?? I mean the mods offer 20% ADR 100% of the time that you have the shield deployed. Therefore, its like procing On the move and critical save every time you heal yourself in the last bar of health. Ultra tanky with booster shot. 75% ADR just for timing the medkit properly. Yes, your movement is restricted but for console players I believe this is a viable SOLO build. Any thoughts?
Now i see math class really help in my life, to many numbers to a shooter game
If you hit booster + medkit + pulse + on the move kill. What will the toughness stack up to? +MarcoStyle
need to get this lol, right now im using 3 peice Lone Star and 2 piece nomad, with one reclaimer, dps is alright but toughness could be better, 230k DPS/330k Toughness/100K Skill
I prefer u make a video about how to optimize all the gear types. OR! a different approach to alpha thata build toward a support role. utilizing the skill power talent
Haha I use something like this can proc myself to 3.650.000~ toughness...... 10 seconds of invincibility add in a tac alt and you are gold..... Btw Marco love your vids keep it up mate
not hopping on the barrett band wagon but i'm curious if you considered it while making this build. i gotta say, this looks like it would be a lot stronger. all that time spent grinding for one and i can't find a use for it. maybe an all high end build?
Marco do you have any info on the difference in damage between armor pen vs damage out of cover or flat increases from competent in PvP? Is destructive better than competent? I haven't seen a tier list for talents. So if you can't get these ___ talents then is a 3 piece pred/striker better because the 8% dmg from pred and 10% armor pen from striker. Obviously you'll be squishier without refreshed mask.
Marco can you please do a DFN Shield build if you haven't done one already. Thanks in advance
marco i
What is better the police m4 or the lova-c
Like the outro music
can you direct me to an earlier vid showcasing where to get alpha bridge from? trying to get back into division and this looks intense
Why did you put weapon mods with accuracy and stability? Because those are nerfing the damage that uncomplicated is giving you. Or am I missing something? :D
Do you think that this build would also work in a group setting or just when for a solo player?
I wish this game actually explained how things work WITHIN THE GAME. It's so fkn annoying having to Google so many perks or talents because of the shitty 4 word vague descriptions given. The developer knows _exactly_ how everything works but for some reason we are supposed to waste hours in forums like a two bit Sherlock Holmes sifting through conflicting or incorrect information that may or may not apply anymore to the current release.
When I use CAD software, it comes with actual words that describe what the functions actually do. I know, it's crazy, there are people who can actually figure out how to form words and sentences into meaningful information and as if by magic, put it in the software.
They do shit like this on purpose now so that it leads to a more thriving internet community/following
Truth be told that's a large reason why Bungie don't add matchmaking to raids.
Juls Token I guess I'm just old fashioned. I enjoy playing the games I buy and not manipulated into wasting valuable play time researching them.
"The developer knows exactly how everything works"
I doubt that.. I actually think marco knows better
some of us stick with these games because we enjoy the theory crafting aspect. Theory crafting involves testing out different things and also results in helpful informative content. I do see your point though. There could definitely be more information given by the devs for the players to help theory crafting efforts.
Brian Summerlin That is why i like this game too. I enjoy trying out different gear and configuring for the highest damage or whatever. It's very difficult to do that though if you don't know the difference between "signature skill resources" and "all skill cool downs" for example or "exotic damage resilience" vs "exotic damage resistance".
perfect video!
nice job marko i will do that i like it
Are you going to finish the weapon guide and do for all weapons
How much do you plan to play The Division when Ghost Recon: Wildlands comes out?
