Dont know if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last months xD
This is a little tough to watch, TBH. If you are specing into crit chance and crit damage, then focus on pumping those up and aim for body shots, especially to avoid missing shots. Don't even spec into headshot damage, unless you have excess ability to. Or, focus on pumping headshot mainly if you have a laser precise gun, and then crit chance/damage as a bonus where excess allows you to. You can clearly see he does more damage at times when cranking body shots but he is so focused on headshots that it doesn't give a good illustration of headshot vs crit chance/damage. Nor does it show good difference in damage between those mods. Sorry but this video raised more questions for me than it did answer any.
Awesome topic and good discussion, slightly worse presentation. He should've stripped down in all other parts and only gone for body as a comparison between acc, crit, critdmg etc.
He was still taking headshots while knowing he just put an attachment on it that subtracts 10% headshot damage. So you probably would have to add about 36,000 damage to his dps
I love this. this may not be something big or complicated, but it shows that massive understand their players. unlike some tone-deaf big bucks asking "Dont you guys have phones?"
I usually go for Maximum stability and accuracy on my AR, along with headshot damage. Assault rifles (In my opinion) are meant to be more "layback" in cover landing headshots as much as possible. I also have a Submachine gun, this thing I pack full of the critical hit damage/chance, along with headshot damage if possible. Since these guns have low range, I don't focus too much on stability. In Division 1 I mixed with crit chance, headshot damage and overall stability/accuracy. In the end, I found that AR's with headshot damage and laser-like stability worked best. Of course, mods were overall better in the first game with nearly no drawback, but you get the picture. This is what I play with outside of the dark zone. Whenever I have been in the DZ I see most of my encounters run with Vectors or MP7's.
I go for stability over everything, turns it into a headshot machine. Out of the 30 rounds in the magazine, I'd say I land at least 25 in the head between all enemies I fire at in a single mag.
I agree these PC guides have absolutely no clue what it's like to play on the console. guns kick like mad and they're almost impossible to control unless you get 80% or higher on the stability of for your weapon
pretty new to the division 2 myself, on xbox, but i try to run my AR as a more "close quarters" type of weapon; and then i use either a rifle or a marksman with an acog instead of the 12x scope for longer range engagements
I am using a scope which is missing in your inventory. U gain it in a later random side mission which U have to search and it gives U 10 or 15 percent of damage against elite enemies. At the moment I am not home. And sorry for my English, I am from Germany.
just a little thing I noticed, you said the second AK was much easier to control...but that was probably because it rolled with +35% stability on its top talent where as your first one didnt
@@carsonkouts they are their own mod with their own stats. As he mentioned, this one is a 7.62 extended mag. We know it will add more rounds, but may have a different negative.
@@porcin3proph3t4 I only asked because he showed a holographic eotech sight from random drops but there already is a holographic sight from doing a side quest
So far I use for optics +20 accuracy -10 crit chance magazine +30 bullets -10 RPM underbarrel +15 stability -8 accuracy muzzle +20 stability -10 accuracy At the end we gain 2 of accuracy and 35 stability -10 crit chance and -10 RPM. Also as an option for muzzle can be used silencer, which gives +20 (or even more, forgot) stability and -10 range. To compensate debuff of RPM, we can roll +10 RPM talent. And finally P416 or MK16 are quite accurate weapons, so it`s not that hard to hit enemy who is not too close. P416 recoil goes up and slightly to the right, Famas goes just up as MK16, so having stable gun makes very easy to rain bullets over a distance and hit something. And thats mods I use for rifle too, except large magazine, which I don`t have any yet. Stable rifle for longer distances, and AR for medium-short.
That's how I build my ARs, with optimal range boosts. It makes them more flexible and practical in those distance engagements. I run shotguns and SMGs in my 2nd slot for close range DPS dumps, so I don't need to focus all the mods into crit. Also, not sure why mtash doesn't burst fire the ranged targets. Landing more rounds is more important than the spray
@jaxon manning because not every target you shoot is in the open and under 20m away. There are times for spray and times for burst. I can hit the head hiding behind cover more consistently and with less ammo by just tapping the mouse, vs. dumping an entire mag, hitting a 3rd of it, reloading and watching the enemy advance to cover in those couple seconds
@jaxon manning (PS4) I was actually messing around with some mods to boost accuracy on my Custom P416 AR. I concluded that, for me, when my accuracy wasn't above... let's say 5/8 accuracy with 8 being a maxed out bar, the first shot would always jump about two head spaces above the target's head before my max stability kicks in for the continuous fire. The more I built the accuracy stat up, the less impactful that jump became allowing me to counter the recoil with an even slighter adjustment of my right analog stick. My point is that recoil is definitely a thing my guy, at least it is on console.
@jaxon manning your 2nd comment was the equivalent of a kid putting its hands over its ears and screaming "LALALA I CANT HEAR YOU"... Anyways, after a certain range all automatic weapons in the game start to have a considerable bloom (indicated by the dot in your crosshair jumping around), meaning that even if you aim at the head of an enemy and perfectly control your recoil ("BUT THERE IS NO RE-" there is. shut up.) you will still miss most of your bullets after a certain range since your shots aren't accurate anymore. Burstfiring lets you lazer those far away enemies without wasting 60% of your bullets. Now take this advice or don't - but don't disregard another persons valid statement just because you don't want to give up on your subjective truth.
I run my AR build and tested it out by constantly aiming at the body on the range my mods are focused on stability and I pushed my gear on weapon damage and AR damage + the 15% from the survivalist I tested it from full ammo capacity till 450 I got around 503k dps with 0 crit chance then around 554k dps with 10.5% crit chance of course it is worsen by a lot if I try to aim for the head with the target constantly changing position and the overall kick from AK so that's why I don't really bother aiming for the head at all
I think the Firing range has a distinct design flaw to test out bodyshot DPS vs headshot DPS. The problem is that the middle of the body counts as a head in the firing range - making it seem as if having crit chance and aiming for the body is better than having headshot damage and aiming for the head, since you technically "headshot" most of your body shots on top of critting more often. In a realistic PVE scenario it will always be best to shoot the head if possible since it gives you another damage multiplier on top of your critchance/critdamage combo.
You can def get it higher good sir, love the content and thank you. Im up around 700k consistently with no perks active. Sniper specialization that you were running before, and Ive got about 70 percent damage to elites its melt city lol.
Same thing. I love that set up. High stability means high average dps and since I only use my AR on reds and maybe purples, the elite damage doesn't bother me. That's what my snipers are for.
I usually run Acog x4 scope for ARs. ARs don't have a lot of base crit anyways. I'd rather have the extended range. Now as for SMGs, yea I stack all my crit mods.
Yep me too. Up close the AR builds level out more but the ACOG gives heaps of extra range for those mid/longer distance engagements. When Mtashed didn’t even mention the ACOG I figured I had it all wrong.
in an urban env, long range shots are rare. i'll go accuracy and crit over distance.. look at your missions.. you're rarely at any kind of "long range" shots
I agree with the optics rail. They all have a serious negative. The only one I ever equip is the ACOG scope. It helps far those way far shots and doesn’t automatically “zoom” in
Arguably the only must-haves at all times are the laser pointer and extended mag. Barrel is up to personal prefference and the stability/accuracy boosting ones are generally better than the damage boosters. For sights there's absolutelly no reason to not have an Acog if all other options seem meh, -5% crit damage for 25% range is a pretty good deal especially since ARs have enough stab and acc to land shots consistently in a full burst at longer ranges. The other option here is indeed the holo but it highly depends on build, personal skill when it comes to landing headshots and ranges one usually fights at (since critical range is now a thing); the first 2 reasons should be pondered over together as neither build nor skill on their own dictate whether or not it's good to have that atachment on.
Yeah, the game has many small details. Did you know, on some missions, I think it`s museum of space with Sons, right near eastern DZ, there are copy machines, where you can press button and sheet of paper comes out with hardly readable pictures, I found maybe 3 of them there. Also at NOA building mission where usually you have turn 3 satellite dishes, there are small buttons on walls, which say weather conditions after pressing them.
I dont understand why some of the scopes take away optimal range instead of add it. I mean scopes are for longer range. Also the sights if you actually put them on a gun would add accuracy but on here they take away accuracy?
@@shv3t yaya balance thats fine. But if you put on a scope it shouldn't have the negative effect be less range. That should be on a red dot or reflex site.
@@kurshinburshin9784 I mean scopes have nothing to do with range of a weapon anyways so technically they should change no stats and just let you either zoom in or not zoom in...
@@carsonkouts the idea of a scope is to be more accurate at a longer range. If you have open sights or iron sites you're more effective at a shorter range. So if you put a scope on a gun your optimal range should go up not down. You helped prove my point
P416 is so amazing. If u want to pvp with it then keep rate of fire and 30 ammo mag but if u want to use an extended mag I would suggest rolling the weapon and get the 10% rate of fire talent because it will balance out your rate of fire and keep it at 750 instead of 600 or 500 rpm
If playing alone moving from cover to cover use the MK17 all the way through the game with the magazine mod maxed out , not super amazing but doesn't eat ammo and pretty much does the job in all situations. Also if playing alone keep the turret basic, you don't need anything more fancy than just the suppressive fire assistance it provides
If this is anything like Division 1, which I played on PC and PS4, losing stability on the PC version was manageable. Losing that much stability on console, not so much. Having only played Division 2 on console, I tried laser mod with the 5.56 mag and barrel mod. I now have a rifle that shreds close up, but anything over 50 metres, forgetabout it lol. Thanks for the video :)
I like how there is positive and negative traits to the mods, but I wish we could choose what mod we want without being locked into a certain two positive and negative traits. I love the micro T1 sight, it looks good on everything but the traits that come with it really make some guns awful. To change this they could let you choose any mod you want and then have say, a selection of 3 random pos/neg traits, that way it's still a decision on what you need for a certain gun and what you're willing to sacrifice for that positive while being able to customize what sight, grip, magazine, or muzzle device you like visually.
I’m more of an lmg kinda guy. I just pump stability usually, but with m60s I like to use the angles grip and the small red dot that does 20 accuracy so I can get that right rectangle. Currently working on a build that uses two lmgs and a pocket shotgun, it’s broken. I have a holster with a mod that makes it so you can reload from empty with any gun and reload all of them. So I run out on first lmg, switch to second, run out, switch to shotgun, empty it, reload, repeat.
you know I always disregarded that talent since reloading takes not that long anyways, but paired with 2 LMGs I can definitely see its potential... Gotta try that out :D
This would be easier to understand with context such as your overall stats including gear. What is your crit chance and crit damage that you're concerned with crit chance and crit damage mods on an AR? Wouldn't an AR build benefit more from weapon damage and headshot damage than crit/crit damage?
@@MTashed Fair enough. I wasn't sure if you were reaching only 30% crit chance or closer to 50% crit chance. If it's the latter, and assuming you can still get a high amount of crit damage, I agree with building for crit on AR.
you should know that after certain distance your weapon will not crit at all thats why mods have crit Range stats on them! not only stability and accuracy for mid+long range fights
The drawbacks on most if not all of the mods are too much. They should be decreased, if not removed entirely. "No mods" shouldn't be the ideal option, but in many cases it is. Also, many of the drawbacks make absolutely no logical sense.
Stability is really weird. I thought losing too much of it will result the gun is unable to control, but after the first couple of bullets, the stability is unchanged. Wish they change it in the next update.
Just watched a vid by you from today where you show even 40% accuracy mods doing nothing, while 15% stability made more difference. Is that because you were on an LMG in today's vid and an AR in this one, or has this changed between one vid and the next. Thanx for taking to time to go thru all thius and share your info, saves us who watch a lot of heartache lol.
The thing about accuracy is that in most settings you wont use your ARs and LMGs at a range where accuracy starts to matter since you either push up more closely or use Rifles/Marksman Rifles for those distances. So accuracy does of course affect weapon bloom at long ranges, but you should never full-auto at high ranges anyway (tap the trigger and laser the heads). Therefore accuracy loses a lot of value compared to stability or straight up more damage.
I appreciate your videos! Normally I don't comment but this time I had to. You should specify that is ONLY for PC. There is no way your hitting half of your shots on console with the drastic reduction to stability. Also I would argue the same for PC, when you start showing off the 7.62 mods on your first AK the talent was 20% damage to blind enemies so that doesn't factor in. On the second AK the talent was Near Sighted, which gave 35% more stability, you even noticed by saying "woah" once you started shooting. You should also specify that every player should test this out on their own to see which works best for them. Also yea I'd take the 5.56 mag mod that has +stability - damage to elites over the one you recommended for PvP all day!
Its only harder controlling sniper shots on console. I never had issues chaining head shoots at any range and if it's too far you should be burst firing anyways in PC and console
Lack of stability on PC isn’t an issue because M&K pretty much makes stability a non-existent issue. On console stability can count for a lot at range. I’d like to see a good FAMAS build that actually allows you to control the recoil with ease on console because that gun has serious potential but the fact that it kicks so hard makes it unusable for medium to long range fights.
LOL, my AR has of course the extended for 60 rnds, BUT I also have a talent I think ( im new at D2, so give me a handicap) with a plus 12 rnds, for a total of 72. Now I have to watch my overall ammo lot, but with that ammo, I can burn down even tier 2 elites like butter, I am a noob at the game no doubt, but this weapon has helped me survive so many fights as I play mostly solo. Good or bad, it is what it is and I like not worrying about a mag change right when I'm about to down a hard target. And yes even as a noob I use only that laser pointer, cuz um yeah the others suck ass at this level. Good vid man, it only helps me with knowing I am making some right choices in the game.
Did the mods get reworked at some point in the last 3 months? Because my T2 micro red dot sight is completely different. If so, might want to consider redoing this video.
Unfortunately every video I see has some guy shooting at a target and saying look at my DPS... taking all that stability away and accuracy would make you hit nothing at long range... also forgetting to mention in WT4 you probably get one hit because everything you have is damage
I the assualt rifles I like the best is the G36, P-416 and M4, as they will not take the -10% hit to RPM that hard. I do wish I could put extended mag on the FAMAS, would be the best gun in the game. In Tier 4 I feel that a lot of slower firing guns just doesn't do the job with all the rushing target. I feel the M60, M249 and Mk46 doesn't kill fast enough, and that's why I feel hesitant putting the extended mag on the Mk16 and ACR. That 563 rpm is so slow.Of course compared to an LMG you are going to hit most of your shots. If feel both of does gun really need Allegro to equlize the hit on RPM.
Hell yeah dude. That scope stays my ride or die and I'm gear score 462. I just wish there were more opportunities for more accuracy with less sacrifices to other stats
This seems so obvious but of course my dumbass is still out here running a vector with 70% crit chance and 14% crit damage. Thank you for informing bots like me lol
How do you feel about the CTAR 21? The recoil feels more manageable to me than the AR-style and ACR-style assault rifles, and with its higher firing rate Im thinking it may be the superior 5.56 assault rifle.
See??....and this is one of the very few things that they need to change about this game.....it's like attaching a mod gives you a great boost with one attribute....but you take a big hit percentage wise with the other attribute regardless of how you try to give your weapon a balance. 👍🏾
Mate, enjoying the vids. Anyway to get exotics or a exotic without entering darkzome or world tier? Only in pve without access. Hope that makes sense. I've hit level 30 n all hardware is max level 30. In first division newyork I got a very nice ak47 gold (can't remember name at the mo) but huge damage, just a really nice weapon. So hoping can get something similar in D2
The random blue print from controle points - is that from the “loot room” that is unlocked or just something you get when you take the controle point? :)
Two questions: 1. Is there a way to increase ammo capacity? I'm starting to worry that the high RPM guns might burn through the finite amount of ammo you have too fast... 2. Do you know which side mission gives the Omega 5.56 suppressor?
Because you can stack crit damage/headshot damage/weak point damage for super size headshot damages. But if you can't crit it throws you down in damage by tons.
These stats on these attachment have changed since tidal basin and patch 1.03 has released. Most of the sights now only have 1 +stat and no more -stat. Plus the .556 extended mag only raises to +10 instead of 30 unless they have 2 mags and I just haven’t gotten the new +30 round mag. Witch upsets me. So this vid is now obsolete.
I think it was unmarked mission from civilian somewhere in the world. For sure I know there is one sewer, which leads nowhere, but civilian is living there. One more civi lives in some building.
Yo, Mtashed, you plan on doing a giveaway anytime soon? Really wish I could play this game because literally all of my friends are playing this and nothing else. Sucks being broke. Just sit there staring at my XBOX lately.
Stability is key because if your not hitting your target then crit chance/damage becomes obsolete.
I like your style 🤙🏽

I go for full stability so I can lay down continuous damage on the enemy
you got it right brother. these content creators are handing out bad info.
I also stack for stability, even though I play on PC. I find I get more hits on target that way.
Yup same here! Feels good
On PC you dont need stability, but on console its one of top stats
This needs more attention
They optimize the stability in console you can just slightly touch the stick to control the recoil
Max stability with weapon mods and increase crit with gear values. Works best and keeps your gun on target.
The way they implemented the shooting range is brilliant.

Arguably the only must-haves at all times are the laser pointer and extended mag.
Barrel is up to personal prefference and the stability/accuracy boosting ones are generally better than the damage boosters.
For sights there's absolutelly no reason to not have an Acog if all other options seem meh, -5% crit damage for 25% range is a pretty good deal especially since ARs have enough stab and acc to land shots consistently in a full burst at longer ranges. The other option here is indeed the holo but it highly depends on build, personal skill when it comes to landing headshots and ranges one usually fights at (since critical range is now a thing); the first 2 reasons should be pondered over together as neither build nor skill on their own dictate whether or not it's good to have that atachment on.
Wow, did anyone notice the barrel getting red hot from all the sustained fire?! Then slowly cool back to normal. Love the small details in this game!!
Yeah, the game has many small details. Did you know, on some missions, I think it`s museum of space with Sons, right near eastern DZ, there are copy machines, where you can press button and sheet of paper comes out with hardly readable pictures, I found maybe 3 of them there. Also at NOA building mission where usually you have turn 3 satellite dishes, there are small buttons on walls, which say weather conditions after pressing them.
Can't wait to play the division 2, it comes with amd processes. Gonna be the first game I install got my Pc.
I dont understand why some of the scopes take away optimal range instead of add it. I mean scopes are for longer range. Also the sights if you actually put them on a gun would add accuracy but on here they take away accuracy?
kurshin burshin it’s for balance. All the mods in TD1 got out of control and made the damage inconsistent or cheesy.
@@shv3t yaya balance thats fine. But if you put on a scope it shouldn't have the negative effect be less range. That should be on a red dot or reflex site.
@@kurshinburshin9784 I mean scopes have nothing to do with range of a weapon anyways so technically they should change no stats and just let you either zoom in or not zoom in...
@@carsonkouts the idea of a scope is to be more accurate at a longer range. If you have open sights or iron sites you're more effective at a shorter range. So if you put a scope on a gun your optimal range should go up not down. You helped prove my point
@@carsonkouts scopes have everything to do with range
Stability is king. I prioritize it. And I shred tier 4, even on challenging missions.
Hitting every shot>missing some and crit hitting some
@CanadianLoki76 - if you are "spamming bullets" then youre doing it wrong..
@CanadianLoki76 its true some guns benefit more from stability and some from accuracy and some from both
P416 is so amazing. If u want to pvp with it then keep rate of fire and 30 ammo mag but if u want to use an extended mag I would suggest rolling the weapon and get the 10% rate of fire talent because it will balance out your rate of fire and keep it at 750 instead of 600 or 500 rpm
Wooooooooo it’s downloading right now!!
If playing alone moving from cover to cover use the MK17 all the way through the game with the magazine mod maxed out , not super amazing but doesn't eat ammo and pretty much does the job in all situations. Also if playing alone keep the turret basic, you don't need anything more fancy than just the suppressive fire assistance it provides
If this is anything like Division 1, which I played on PC and PS4, losing stability on the PC version was manageable. Losing that much stability on console, not so much. Having only played Division 2 on console, I tried laser mod with the 5.56 mag and barrel mod. I now have a rifle that shreds close up, but anything over 50 metres, forgetabout it lol. Thanks for the video :)
7.62 mag has eluded me for months 😰😥
I'll give up - on optimum range for + on stability all day I need to keep my site on point.
I feel your pain. Even more so since this new expansion dropped in which the npcs have become soo f**king bullet spongy.
I like how there is positive and negative traits to the mods, but I wish we could choose what mod we want without being locked into a certain two positive and negative traits. I love the micro T1 sight, it looks good on everything but the traits that come with it really make some guns awful.
To change this they could let you choose any mod you want and then have say, a selection of 3 random pos/neg traits, that way it's still a decision on what you need for a certain gun and what you're willing to sacrifice for that positive while being able to customize what sight, grip, magazine, or muzzle device you like visually.
The m tar with that extended mag sounds like a beast, it has a higher fire rate for assault rifles, empties a normal mag in about a second
If you like that then you'll love the F2000
@@friendlyneighborhooddg i hope so, i wonder when ill get one
I’m more of an lmg kinda guy. I just pump stability usually, but with m60s I like to use the angles grip and the small red dot that does 20 accuracy so I can get that right rectangle. Currently working on a build that uses two lmgs and a pocket shotgun, it’s broken. I have a holster with a mod that makes it so you can reload from empty with any gun and reload all of them. So I run out on first lmg, switch to second, run out, switch to shotgun, empty it, reload, repeat.
you know I always disregarded that talent since reloading takes not that long anyways, but paired with 2 LMGs I can definitely see its potential... Gotta try that out :D
This would be easier to understand with context such as your overall stats including gear. What is your crit chance and crit damage that you're concerned with crit chance and crit damage mods on an AR?
Wouldn't an AR build benefit more from weapon damage and headshot damage than crit/crit damage?
Yeah AR's aren't meant to be crit machines, SMGs are better for that.
I mean. It is easy to get both. Damage is damage. You can get 40 or 50+ Crit chance easily
@@MTashed pity we can't do what we did in 1.0 div1 and stack nearly 100% crit chance on vectors
@@MTashed Fair enough. I wasn't sure if you were reaching only 30% crit chance or closer to 50% crit chance. If it's the latter, and assuming you can still get a high amount of crit damage, I agree with building for crit on AR.
60% lol
I preferred the extra bullet clip, but than i got a purple black market akm... and that changed my mind.
Inb4 you find out accuracy and stability are useless/bugged
Stability is fine though?
@@yoyomizuro6664 take a look at his video mods are broken
you should know that after certain distance your weapon will not crit at all thats why mods have crit Range stats on them! not only stability and accuracy for mid+long range fights
If you’re going for a DPS build, crit chance is a must
The drawbacks on most if not all of the mods are too much. They should be decreased, if not removed entirely. "No mods" shouldn't be the ideal option, but in many cases it is. Also, many of the drawbacks make absolutely no logical sense.
I feel like these mods would be very different for Xbox or ps4
FACTS. Consoles is where the true skill is needed 😂
@@Afro_Sensei Console and true skill don't belong in the same sentence.
I never use crit chance I just go high accuracy and stability and hit headshots
The people who really played D1 are doing well at D2
This video illustrates how God like and unbalanced Division 1 mods are. In D1 my scope does 18% headshot damage and my mag is 120% as base stats!
i was so used to mods in d1 that i didnt wanna use any mod in this game so i wouldn't miss on the negative buffs they have lol
Stability is really weird. I thought losing too much of it will result the gun is unable to control, but after the first couple of bullets, the stability is unchanged. Wish they change it in the next update.
Just watched a vid by you from today where you show even 40% accuracy mods doing nothing, while 15% stability made more difference. Is that because you were on an LMG in today's vid and an AR in this one, or has this changed between one vid and the next. Thanx for taking to time to go thru all thius and share your info, saves us who watch a lot of heartache lol.
The thing about accuracy is that in most settings you wont use your ARs and LMGs at a range where accuracy starts to matter since you either push up more closely or use Rifles/Marksman Rifles for those distances. So accuracy does of course affect weapon bloom at long ranges, but you should never full-auto at high ranges anyway (tap the trigger and laser the heads). Therefore accuracy loses a lot of value compared to stability or straight up more damage.
@@fabianzloklikovits5893 uhhh the mk17 AR is awsome at range. Just one example.
great work, these videos are very helpful and has helped me build my character in the right direction.
Really looking forward to some Rifle builds/guides
Ar stands for armalite, not assault rifle
He's Canadian anyway
I appreciate your videos! Normally I don't comment but this time I had to. You should specify that is ONLY for PC. There is no way your hitting half of your shots on console with the drastic reduction to stability. Also I would argue the same for PC, when you start showing off the 7.62 mods on your first AK the talent was 20% damage to blind enemies so that doesn't factor in. On the second AK the talent was Near Sighted, which gave 35% more stability, you even noticed by saying "woah" once you started shooting. You should also specify that every player should test this out on their own to see which works best for them. Also yea I'd take the 5.56 mag mod that has +stability - damage to elites over the one you recommended for PvP all day!
Its only harder controlling sniper shots on console. I never had issues chaining head shoots at any range and if it's too far you should be burst firing anyways in PC and console
Any chance you update this video now that you likely have all the mods in game?
Thanks for sharing, very helpful!
Fav kinda content from you. Would love a series like this with every weapon type.
Lack of stability on PC isn’t an issue because M&K pretty much makes stability a non-existent issue. On console stability can count for a lot at range. I’d like to see a good FAMAS build that actually allows you to control the recoil with ease on console because that gun has serious potential but the fact that it kicks so hard makes it unusable for medium to long range fights.
LOL, my AR has of course the extended for 60 rnds, BUT I also have a talent I think ( im new at D2, so give me a handicap) with a plus 12 rnds, for a total of 72. Now I have to watch my overall ammo lot, but with that ammo, I can burn down even tier 2 elites like butter, I am a noob at the game no doubt, but this weapon has helped me survive so many fights as I play mostly solo. Good or bad, it is what it is and I like not worrying about a mag change right when I'm about to down a hard target. And yes even as a noob I use only that laser pointer, cuz um yeah the others suck ass at this level. Good vid man, it only helps me with knowing I am making some right choices in the game.
how can i get the laser pointer?
Did the mods get reworked at some point in the last 3 months? Because my T2 micro red dot sight is completely different. If so, might want to consider redoing this video.
I also found the the Ranger talent is excellent with this test...if RNG possible of course
Please cover single shot rifles next. They are OD on PC (PvE)
Go watch sleepy0 he has the best build on it & its an actual division plauer not a wave let me get views type of content creator.
So where do you get the laser pointer?
Unfortunately every video I see has some guy shooting at a target and saying look at my DPS... taking all that stability away and accuracy would make you hit nothing at long range... also forgetting to mention in WT4 you probably get one hit because everything you have is damage
Thank you, glad I'm not the only one
I the assualt rifles I like the best is the G36, P-416 and M4, as they will not take the -10% hit to RPM that hard. I do wish I could put extended mag on the FAMAS, would be the best gun in the game.
In Tier 4 I feel that a lot of slower firing guns just doesn't do the job with all the rushing target. I feel the M60, M249 and Mk46 doesn't kill fast enough, and that's why I feel hesitant putting the extended mag on the Mk16 and ACR. That 563 rpm is so slow.Of course compared to an LMG you are going to hit most of your shots. If feel both of does gun really need Allegro to equlize the hit on RPM.
Damn even mtash jumped the d2 train
Small RDS Scope ? +20% Accuracy -10% Stability
Hell yeah dude. That scope stays my ride or die and I'm gear score 462. I just wish there were more opportunities for more accuracy with less sacrifices to other stats
@@friendlyneighborhooddg i am farming the EXPS3 Holosight right now 12% crit chance -10% Headshotdmg
It's intresting watching new division players suggest builds basically higher rpm builds you want higher crit
This seems so obvious but of course my dumbass is still out here running a vector with 70% crit chance and 14% crit damage. Thank you for informing bots like me lol
While I love the testing rounds, I would like to see a body shots only round to even out the testing and compare the various mods.
How do you feel about the CTAR 21? The recoil feels more manageable to me than the AR-style and ACR-style assault rifles, and with its higher firing rate Im thinking it may be the superior 5.56 assault rifle.
Spec into Accuracy!!! That’s where it’s at!!!
1:00 This man just butchured one of the best guns in the game...
This is a very smart serious ideas
When you see Mk in front of a weapon it is pronounced Mark. It is pronounced Mark 16.
Mark must be a cool guy, he has so many scars named after him...

Seems like a slower rpm gives you less stability while the faster rpm gives you better stability.
See??....and this is one of the very few things that they need to change about this game.....it's like attaching a mod gives you a great boost with one attribute....but you take a big hit percentage wise with the other attribute regardless of how you try to give your weapon a balance. 👍🏾
They are going to change that in the next update
Mate, enjoying the vids. Anyway to get exotics or a exotic without entering darkzome or world tier? Only in pve without access. Hope that makes sense. I've hit level 30 n all hardware is max level 30. In first division newyork I got a very nice ak47 gold (can't remember name at the mo) but huge damage, just a really nice weapon. So hoping can get something similar in D2
Use the mods that you like and make you better.
Can you update this video with WT5 came just yesterday?
I keep compairing this games stability to like Destiny's stability.
The random blue print from controle points - is that from the “loot room” that is unlocked or just something you get when you take the controle point? :)
Nope drops the second you beat it directly into your inventory
@@MTashed Thanks for the reply! :-)
And Ill keep an eye on my blueprints! :-D
Two questions:
1. Is there a way to increase ammo capacity? I'm starting to worry that the high RPM guns might burn through the finite amount of ammo you have too fast...
2. Do you know which side mission gives the Omega 5.56 suppressor?
sonpacho forgot the name of the mission but its just up top to the potomac event center mission. Almost dz ouest
@@cassias456 OK, thanks! I'm only lvl 8 so it doesn't sound like I can get it any time soon...
sonpacho sadly so. Though if you are on pc im lvl 26 and didnt do it yet
-10% stability, but +20% stutter....worth it!
25 percent optimal range is worth 5 percent crit damage for sight
I've been running that so far but I'm only lvl 12
I am stable at 850k with my ctar and that's before I have my strained and berserk active.
If you lose the crit chance but gain the accuracy to land more headshots then why does the lost crit chance matter?
Because you can stack crit damage/headshot damage/weak point damage for super size headshot damages. But if you can't crit it throws you down in damage by tons.
Use what mods go better for what talents you have on gear and guns
I use the Police M4, but I'm still going through the story. Does it suck endgame?
would just say dont get too attached to any particular gun yet, it all changes quite a bit, even past level 30
Just keep crafting new ones every couple of levels whenever you feel like it's getting weak
These stats on these attachment have changed since tidal basin and patch 1.03 has released. Most of the sights now only have 1 +stat and no more -stat. Plus the .556 extended mag only raises to +10 instead of 30 unless they have 2 mags and I just haven’t gotten the new +30 round mag. Witch upsets me. So this vid is now obsolete.
I like streamlined iron sights +25% reload and -8% critical hit chance.
A lot of use on console cant control and gun with that low of stability so having stability isnt ridiculous
How did you get EXPS3 Holo Sight mod? What project or side mission did you have to do?
I think it was unmarked mission from civilian somewhere in the world. For sure I know there is one sewer, which leads nowhere, but civilian is living there. One more civi lives in some building.
Sorry if this had been discussed on a video somewhere but what exactly is the differencr between accuracy and stability? Thanks man!
Accuracy is randomness or bloom in the bullets. Stability is recoil
Mtashed thank you sir
Yo, Mtashed, you plan on doing a giveaway anytime soon? Really wish I could play this game because literally all of my friends are playing this and nothing else. Sucks being broke. Just sit there staring at my XBOX lately.
Enjoy your videos good content very helpful man keep it up!
