In The Division, we will take a detailed look at three balanced all-round builds in the video.
“You have to specialize!” When asked about a possible character setup, you usually get this response. Since update 1.2, it has been more specifically: “Focus on toughness!”
Balanced builds are not in vogue in The Division. Toughness – this stat is set in most builds. Here, agents compete with each other and proudly present values beyond 500k or even 600k. If you want to be really tanky, you also rely on electronics and/or the authority of the tactician. A high DPS value suffers from it.
Three All-Round Builds in The Division
The YouTuber DSF v0xmach1ne has made it his mission not to forgo any of these stats significantly while still remaining competitive. Now he presents not just one, but three “all-rounders”, three balanced builds that have received great approval in the community. You can watch them in detail in the following video:
The YouTuber believes that these are certainly not the “best” builds. However, they are the ones he enjoys and uses successfully. These all-rounders are “pretty good”. He does not wish to showcase them to boast, but solely for other agents to take inspiration from.
In all all-round builds, he relies on the SASG-12 S black market version and an AUG A3 Para XS. He introduces the weapon mods of the submachine gun from about 12:18. For all builds, he uses the skills Pulse and First Aid.The first build is his favorite: This leans towards tank, builds on four pieces of the Watch’s Call and two pieces of Final Measure. Two pieces of Final Measure ensure that you get +50% resistance against exotic damage. Especially against sticky bombs and the nasty flamethrowers, this bonus is worth its weight in gold.
His stats are:
- DPS: 226K
- Toughness: 473K
- Skill Power: 24K
With the First Aid skill, he reaches a self-healing stat of 58.5K. You can see how he achieves these stats and all armor pieces in detail in the video from 1:00.In the second build, the YouTuber focuses more on the high DPS value. For this, he uses a high-end chest piece with Reckless, two “Watch’s Call” pieces, and three times the Striker. Stamina is still an important aspect, but the DPS value is increased compared to the previous setup:
- DPS: 304K
- Toughness: 402K
- Skill Power: 21K
You can view the individual parts from 6:30 in the video. He also shows what damage he does on the shooting range in the Operations Base. The third build is a mix of the previously shown. It uses three pieces of “Watch’s Call” and three “Striker’s Battle Gear”. The stats are:
- DPS: 268K
- Toughness: 417K
- Skill Power: 23K
This build is presented in detail from about 10:37.
However, a general problem here is: It doesn’t look particularly “difficult” to create such builds. However, you first need the necessary equipment. In the comments, agents rave about the “God Rolls” of some items presented. An agent even jokes that he would give up his firstborn for such holsters.
Therefore, the above video should not be seen as a guide, but much more as guidance.
