A really good video has been released about The Division: A fan presents his guide to 1.6 in the form of a short film.
Guides and build videos for The Division are often not very entertaining. The information is delivered factually, and the interested user retrieves it and applies the newly gained insights directly in the game if possible. Nothing spectacular. There are thousands of them on YouTube.
That guide videos can also be presented in a completely different, refreshingly new format is shown by the previously unknown YouTuber Upora. A current video from him was recently shared on Reddit, which hit like a bomb and instantly gained thousands of views.
The special thing about it: The YouTuber presents the guide as a short film. According to the video description, a tactician build in 1.6 is supposed to be introduced, but basically, it’s only about weapon talents and two skills. However, a second part of this build will follow soon. Here you can watch the short film guide:
What is the video about?
In the video, an agent is being trained by a SHD instructor. He explains some of the new features in The Division 1.6 and what she needs to pay attention to now. “Skill haste” is extremely important (especially for a tactician skill build). She should:
- focus on skill haste and enemy armor damage with the chest piece,
- focus on enemy armor damage and damage against elites with the mask,
- focus on enemy armor damage with the kneepads,
- focus on skill haste and the nimble talent with the holster,
- focus on skill haste and damage against elites with the gloves
- and invest in skill power and the inventive talent with the backpack.
For the armor mods, the agent should increase electronics, skill haste, and seeker mine damage.
As a weapon, an ACR (assault rifle) is used, which comes with a bonus of +22% enemy armor damage as well as the talents Destructive, Determined, and Malevolent.
This build aims for you to deal heavy damage in PvE with your skills “Seeker Mine” and “Sticky Bomb”. In the rest of the video, the agent conducts several experiments at the command of her instructor, where she increases damage against elites and enemy armor damage and observes how the damage output changes with skills against elite enemies. The result: The ACR with the bonus to enemy armor damage, along with Destructive and Malevolent provides strong advantages in combat against PvE enemies.
According to several comments on Reddit, this is a fantastically presented video that shows a lot of work has gone into it. The YouTuber is praised highly. However, it is also noted that this is not a particularly efficient method of conveying information. Nevertheless: A really strong video!
We present a powerful build for PvE in 1.6 here – in a compact and clear form.
