I've been running a hot shot build with blood sucker and as long as I get 2 kills it triples my armor up to 3Mill. It makes fragile armor not a problem at all in terms of directives 😂
THANK YOU! This is your best sniper build so-far! I tried the other 6 or 7 sniper builds over the last couple months but none of them felt "safe enough" for solo-heroic-play, Let alone using directives. I kept replacing the riffles/MR with a shotgun + shield for more run-and-gun gameplay, which worked fine as well, procking Headhunter by shooting pellets in the head. This sniper build works lovely, both for sniping AND for run-and-gun! Needs some more testing but so-far convoys, hostages, control points etc... are a breeze. If it passes solo heroic bounties then I think i'll have a new favorite ;-) I used the Belstone gloves as you suggested at the end of the video, 1 extra armor core (totaling 1.12M armor) , +10% hazpro (total 20%) and 1 PfE-mod 13%. I'm at 201% headshot (231% with scope) and 97% handling. Using the Covert SRS (1.2M dps) and the Scorpio (1.0M dps) as backup (handy against exploding rushers or those 2 guys with the shock-sticks ;-) ) Thanks TUX!
Don't know if it's just me, but the primary reason I would run Determined, is for faster target acquisition and chain killing. Thus I don't run a scope and with the hotshot talent refilling my mag, I honestly don't have a need for high weapon handling, beacuse I'm rarely reloading and I don't need to be extremely accurate. So outside of Iron Horse speed runs, a high weapon handling sniper build is kinda niche... Other wise very informative.
I run a ghost build that hits 1.6m with Ekim’s long stick and 3M nemesis. All specced to headshot damage and 1.1M armour. It consists of the ninja bike, two piece yaahl, one piece HG, one hotshot, perfect focus chest, pulse and decoy. The rogues don’t even know I’m there until they’re on the floor. 😅 however if they see me move I’m dead 😂
Tux , I. Going to put this together , my question is , what is the best Mantis. Build we can use ? I’m using the 3 hot shot and 2 Hadsburg with my chain killer and I got several different chests I can use for that. Walker, Providence, Belstone , etc , have you made any new versions for Mantis and Decoy combo ?
Yes sir. Best mantis build coming up MANTIS EXOTIC SNIPER UPGRADE IS THE REAL DEAL • THE DIVISION 2 BUILD 2024 th-cam.com/video/3H0ezh2_7XU/w-d-xo.html
Biggest weakness for this build are the mobs with goddamn helmets and if you happen to do Summit... theres many annoying things... drones for starters!
In my experience u have more benefits from sniper kills thats why i use it with variable snipers type. My top are 3. Tactical. 308, perfect balance between rpm and necessary damage for chain kill, though u need more hits to kill enemy lider on cp. Good for solo players. M700, of corse strongest sniper at the moment good for everything even legendary enemies, personally prefer use it with Hot Shot gear because the reload time rlly mental kills me. SR-1, Is the truly replace of the named sniper White Dead but with improvements in everything. Is a lvl before than the M700 but with good balance rpm and damage enough for all except for legendary in my experience.
If you could just get the unicorn habsburg chest and backpack with headshot and weapon handling, you wouldn't need this build. It isn't as much weapon handling of course, but enough to make the model 700 much more manageable
Please explain. What unicorn do you mean? He's using the NinjaBP so he's already getting the 2-piece bonus from Habsburg... Or is it for putting Vigilance on the BP? You 'd be loosing a lot of other bonus'es i think.
@AlfaStation1 the unicorn habsburg pieces are a 1) headshot, weapon handling headhunter chest with a rerolled red core 2) headshot, weapon handling vigilance backpack with a rerolled red core. More than enough weapon handling between the two. Both pieces are extremely hard to get. I have both, but without the weapon handling. The #1 sniper build imo are those two pieces and 4 hotshot. All with headshot
Can u first blood then switch to determined..... To never actually land the headshot..(will first blood prock headhunter even tho its bot a hearshot.....ill be back...maybe GG annother banger! 🙋♂️👣👣👣
No. Since determined is a weapon talent, it is only available while you have that weapon active. You could do first blood to auto headshot, then swap to your determined MMR. At which point you would have headhunter stack (assuming you killed your target), but you would have to get a real headshot on your next hit to start up determined.
NBB builds always look like a clown show at a glance. Snipers are 1 of the builds that have enough power to trade for utility with NBB, especially with headhunter and in solo heroic and with the buffed MMR bass damage (model 700). Determined takes it to stupid easy levels of fast, all directives grinding. But, the damage doesn't scale well to groups- you have you add more red cores or back to a damage bag talent. Me, I run less handling but hotshot 4p with 2 blue cores and bloodsucker. Prefer the relative safety of a ton of bonus armor as you pick off targets.
I’ve never been clear on what weapon handling does for me. Did I miss a tutorial or does the game do a poor job explaining it? Edit: never mind, you go into later in the video.

Good choice on primary weapon!! My fav.

Finally Tux! A different take on what I use normally, but glad seeing the Ninja backpack in use. It is so underrated
I wonder if they will ever fix the 4p hotshot bug with deployed skills?
#Rifles2Aces !!!! ...great content as always Tux! Spread the tag to get attention to the devs that we want rifles added to 'Aces & Eights'. Cheers!
Keep fighting the good fight SoB! 👍

I do like the extra handling. T x Roger B

How would the SVD work with this build? I know you did a separate video awhile back using the SVD on a sniper build. wondered if you tried it?
M700 With behind you to get headhunter proc, then swap to SR-1 with Determined and have you some fun

I love the sr
Thanks! for the build explanation. You are my new best friend of the day
"Clown Cartwheels" aint that the truth...great vid, thanks!!
You bet
Nice build bruh. Would love to group up with you on PC to support with my healer build.
Iv jist got to lvl 40 and running a sniper so im gonna run this build
Awesome work, as usual, Mr Tux!
#Rifles2Aces
wow, what a name. lol
Noob question; but what is that symbol(looks like little watch) besides the attributes in some your pieces? Thank for all your content! Cheers from 🇧🇷
That means I optimized my gear to get it to its value. So it came originally with less in that attribute slot.

On PS5, Should I disable auto-aim?
I do. But I recommend at least being watch 1000 to be sure you have a feel for the game. But either way, you get used to it and have better control.
Your strongest sniper build is not the strongest the division has to offer

@@StuartFoust appreciate that
how did you make you model 700 all black?
THERE is a special skin for it called Raven or something. I guess it's an old skin given a while back
@@TuxedoBandido damn, lets hope for it to come back then, hate how the solid black looks like on this gun. cool build, will give it a try
Don't run a scope and sniping gets a lot easier
