In The Division, we present a build featuring the AlphaBridge gear set and the Urban-MDR.
A combination of AlphaBridge and the weapon FAMAS currently represents the meta in The Division. This allows for builds that the agent of today relies on to stay at the forefront.
However, the powerful AlphaBridge set can also be combined with other weapons, like the Urban-MDR. This has the unique talent “Distracted”, which allows 10% more damage to be dealt to enemies afflicted with status effects. Therefore, the Urban-MDR is often combined with the fiery FireCrest set.
But what happens when you use the Urban-MDR together with AlphaBridge? The YouTuber Arekkz reached the conclusion: A deadly build – “Alpha Crest”!
How to Create This Build
If you want to recreate this build, focus on these weapons:
- G36 or LVOA-C – Assault rifle as primary weapon. Look for strong talents like Brutal and Destructive.
- Urban-MDR – Assault rifle as secondary weapon: This always comes with the special Distracted talent.
The Gear Pieces:
- Mask: AlphaBridge with bonus on enemy armor damage.
- Knees: AlphaBridge with bonus on armor
- Gloves: AlphaBridge with bonus on assault rifle damage
- Holster: AlphaBridge
- Chest Armor: Barret’s Bulletproof Vest with bonus on armor
- Backpack: High-end with the talent Specialized, which adds 200% of firearms and stamina to skill strength.
With the four pieces of AlphaBridge, you gain these bonuses:
- 2-Piece Bonus: +100% Health regeneration
- 3-Piece Bonus: +5% Weapon damage
- 4-Piece Bonus: Talent – If the primary and secondary weapons belong to the same category, the equipped weapon receives all unique, active talents.
Focus on armor and firearms for mods. Build your attributes in such a way that you can showcase similar attributes:
The Skills:
- First Aid with the Medical Pulse mod (this gives you an additional damage boost).
- Flame Turret: Choose a skill as a second skill that applies status effects to enemies. This is possible with the sticky grenade, the seeker mine, or even with the turret.
The Character Talents:
- Triage: Heals an ally with a skill, reducing skill cooldowns by 15%.
- Emergency Medical: Use a medkit when low on health to increase damage resistance by 40% for 10 seconds.
- Counter: When low on health, skill cooldowns are reduced by 20%.
- Combustion: If you apply the on-fire status to an enemy, there is a 30% chance that targets within a 10m radius will also suffer burns.
What the AlphaBridge Build Can Do
This build only reaches its full potential when you apply status effects to enemies. This doesn’t just have to be the “on-fire” effect; bleeding, blind and deaf, disorientations, and shocks also trigger the Urban-MDR talent.
Therefore, always try to spread status effects, with your skills, grenades, special ammunition, or the environment: If there is an explosive barrel near the enemy, shoot it. Advantage: Since you always want to have your Flame Turret active, you often gain +5% damage through Barret’s Bulletproof Vest.
The Urban-MDR itself is not a powerful weapon; only its talent is interesting. Thanks to AlphaBridge, you transfer this talent to the LVOA-C or G36, so your top primary weapon can benefit from it.
In Summary: You gain 10% increased damage from the Urban-MDR talent, 5% from Barret’s bulletproof vest, and an additional 5% weapon damage from the 3-piece bonus of AlphaBridge – simply by the choice of your items. With the skills, talents, and additional bonuses, you effectively whittle down the health bars of your enemies.
