I've been incorporating the imperial dynasty with my builds. It's like a defensive piece for me. When someone tries to flank me or get close up and catch on fire. It has actually saved my ass from time to time. Definitely a piece that I hardly see anyone build around
I guess I am a shotgun maniac...I have 5 solid shotgun builds in my loadouts. Use them for all content. Send off is usually main weapon, great power with added distance. Always use the sweet dreams fir cheap kills!! 46 melee kills in one mission (with group) is my high number. Harder to get melee kills in legendary missions simply because there isn't as many non elite enemies.
Great, another Striker’s build! lol I see it all the time in Countdown. And what’s funny about it, being meta, is that it isn’t all that. Often times, those “metas” don’t hold up well at the “Extraction” point. I initially used my Ongoing Directive build in Countdown. It’s much more fun to me than metas. But I realized that there was too much b.s. at the extraction. So as soon as the Main Objective is complete, I switch to my Eclipse Protocol and we clean house, more often than naught. I guess what is really sad about Metas, is that most players become “One-trick Ponies”. And very few seem to take advantage of what I consider to be one of the best mechanics in ANY game; switching Load-Outs when appropriate!
Love this - the Cuelebre is one of my the favorite weapons in the game. I think that the Tsunami is underrated too - the auto-reload has saved my butt many a time!
It’s been a tough 5 years for me personally. The Division 2 has given me the distraction from the chaos of the real world I needed to stay sane. Comes to something when the highlight of my week is a beer and the Division on Friday night or a coffee and the Division on a Sunday morning. Farming and honing (perfecting) builds, collecting and testing out all the gear sets, talents and weapons. Trying to master the game and all of its challenges. I’m 1x Ravenous and 1x Ouroboros off a perfect score and I have a handful of UA-camrs to thank for that. TUX being the No.1 for the past two years at least. So thanks TUX for your years of service. I’ll put the kettle on and dust off my Cuelebre and look forward to the weekend
Hi, I'm a bit like you, I'm still discovering things about this game today. There are weapons that are so underrated, but with good attributes, good talent and a good build around them they become formidable. The only AR I play now is the Chameleon, all my other builds are based on rifles, shotguns and MMRs. I even found a Striker + Rifles build that does much more bullet damage than a St Elmo (24) or the Ouroboros (24).
Great one Tux! I am the same, i love coming up with new builds so it makes the same content slightly different. I have never got on with Heartbreaker, until one of your recent vids, i have tweaked it to my style and what i had and now love it! Keep it up, love the vids and the discord community!
I e made several different builds. I’ve been running with an exuro build that I really enjoy, which works great if you play in challenging or if you’re in a group. My main build is a ninja bike backpack with a number of different pieces and I just built a bleed build with the chameleon that I haven’t had a chance to try yet.
Been using someth8ng similar for several months,maybe even a year. I use it with a gunslinger holster with regulus in the speedrun configuration. It 2 shots chungas. Swapping providence for headhunter actually lowers your damage, best run either d&h headhunter or badger tough to up damage, as the headshot ain't as good as having the flat weapon damage, especially when not bonused with headhunter. It's not the damage that makes pummel, it's the free reload after 3 headshots, the damage bonus is, well, a bonus. The extended range of the c9nfusion on kill from the h7nters backpack helps control your ads and helps you kill and chain your headshots. I would back it up with a determined white death for ranged moments, such as potomac theater section, or bank hq balconies near the end.
@@TuxedoBandido and that's why you go backpack and all out headshot mods. It's an all or nothing, do or die build. Hit the 1st guy with regulus and it stacks the WHOLE bar of headhunter in 1 shot, then its 1 shot everything with the shotgun time, which refills itsself in 3 kills, so you never need to reload. The backpack talent is your crowd survivability, allowing you to not get hit by anything within 10m for 6 secs, as the6 are busy leaning over with confusion, showing you thier heads., thus making a 1 shot kill easier. With a memento based build, I would skip regulus and go d5 headhunter, as you can successfully kill and stack a headshot on this build, mak8ng it even more deadly. And a determined D50 also works on the gunslinger holster version for 1 shot cracking a chunga helmet off...its what my wife uses as she doesn't have the regulus.
The best division 2 channel on UA-cam by far. The editing style and overall layout of the channel is top tier. It really is that good. Great job creator.
I dunno a build for me sucks if it can't do group play. Solo builds you can do anything and make it look good but once the scaling goes up it can feel very lackluster. I have a off meta build i dont see anyone doing with eclipse vile and use fire sticky / mortar turret, using both on a group of enemies on fire and bleeding is hilariously fun. Not strongest fire or mortar build but on the fun factor it is up there.
I am very impressed! I use a lot of shotguns, and I have cuelebre too, but there is something that I didn't get it. How can I have 1.7 million total damage?
I need momento now! Ive been farming for it for about 3 months now, been back playing for about 4 now. I have everything that isn't raid/incursion/dz exclusive except this backpack. Just won't drop. Acosta and ninja galore!!!😢
I preffer this with a chainkiller chest and an m870 with pummel. Ita very restrictive as a build, you have to be accurate, you have to position yourself very well and predict 2-3 moves ahead. Great damage but very limiting, you have to practice this typy of playstyle to make this build work. It wont do jack shit in open areas with little to no cover. You could also use a ninja BP, 3 hunters and an uzina or belstone piece to get some armor on kill, but still you lack a lot variability with this build. For me shottys are better in support/tank/healer builds. A build with initimidate chest and matador BP will work better, even a perfect bloodsucker. Full dmg shotty builds aren't very versatile in pve.
This is a 4 weapon build to clear targets at range. Tac50, Rifle, Pistol, Cuelebre (doesn’t lose pummel). I like it because it’s versatile at all ranges. Fixes that short range thingy. Worth a shot.
Stopped playing tux, enemy movement speed and accuracy beyond a joke grenades thrown from outside the fighting area sorry buddy it’s become a chore and Ive played this game every single day for years 😂 wish you all the best with the channel
how do you break from the meta?
Make your own meta

I’ve never been a fan of the strikers when I’m playing solo because I’m not that accurate so it’s hard for me to keep my stacks up

You don't loose stacks for missing shots anymore @@billyreece4445

Thanks! We will definitely need more videos like this to encourage new ways to play!
More to come!

Please keep doing these; off-meta options are always fun to play with

The providence is to keep hsd over 150% on shotgun so I can add Pfe and reload speed mods. Under 150 hsd won’t get full 1250% Hh buff.

I have one with pumped up.
I’ve failed to use that talent fully. One day.
Now there’s a talent we don’t hear much about!
hunters fury + with scorpio and memento
thank you👍👍👍
any meta break without memento or striker . i mostly play cover to cover and find it hard to keep up stacks with strikers builds.
Do you have a video on " Enforcer" shotgun build?
Had one with chainkiller and the enforcer shotgun for a long long time. Perfect pummel is 2 kills reloads mag.
So jelly you have that.
@TuxedoBandido I scrapped it long ago. Just decided to delete my first character and start over. Soon as I got to NYC it was in my inventory
I am very impressed! I use a lot of shotguns, and I have cuelebre too, but there is something that I didn't get it. How can I have 1.7 million total damage?
Your channel is underrated, brotha
I appreciate that!

Chainkiller would work fine on the chestpiece right? Also, would scorpio do ok in that spot as well? Love the vids pal!
Pretty sure the HSD from Prov is required to push the build over 150% HSD and fully engage Headhunter.
I gotcha, hitting 4m a shot with a shotty is pretty nuts lol@@ralliman320
Scorpio won’t have enough to chainkill and you wouldn’t make use of the talent if it did.
I gotcha, farming for culebre engaged lol@@TuxedoBandido
