Striker is the strongest gearset in the game when paired with the St Elmos. Its strengths lie with mid to long range encounters. With Cyote, you can sit back and melt everthing. I run 1 blue the rest red with striker backpack, cyote mask, ceska chest, cruisader shield and repair drone. It does all content no dramas.
The first build is what I use for my daily pve stuff. But right now I’m using a chainkiller plus the gift backpack and running 24mil headshot kills on 5 directive.
Speaking of bad RNG, from what I gather it would seem that there are gear pieces in the general loot pool that every player struggles to find, and they are different for different players. Some struggle to find a Catharsis mask, of which I have three, I struggle to get an Ninja Messenger after opening uncountable exotic caches, others can't seem to find certain guns. I find this the most frustrating part of The Division 2. I have every exotic backpack at least three times but I have never seen a Matador. By the time I find the pieces I am missing I'll be playing another game....
I got tired of striker. Yeah it works but there are other builds to play with. Most people say you need to go with striker but I now prefer skill builds which are more fun to use. Our clan just play with skills and we do legendary missions a lot easier. People need to try other things sometime. There’s more than just DPS.
Indeed bro. I use skill build more often instead of dps build and I enjoy the game enough rather than other that looks to be obsessived with dps. As I always say use a build you feel more comfortable with and that's it!
I run Striker as my main loadout. Thanks for sharing all these variations. I usually run only 2 blue cores with the rest all reds but I almost run PvE Need to do more PvP runs and try the different options you just gave.
I run a 4 pc striker build with an Electrique Henry Chest with The Perfect Companion talent and the Fenris Backpack with the Companion talent. With skills or an ally active within 5 meters Companion gives you 15% Weapon Damage. With skills or an ally within 10 meters Perfect Companion gives you 20%. With my Mender Mine and Fixer Drone both running I get 35% Weapon Damage. Coupled with The Apartment SMG with Perfect Measured you get an additional 33% Weapon from the bottom half of the magazine. That will give you a total of 68% Weapon Damage if my math/calculations are correct. The St.Elmo's Engine is actually my secondary weapon when I run this build. Granted, I am running an all Red build but the two skills help keep me from going down too often. Plus, I'm a cover-to-cover style player and suck at using a shield
Running striker full red crit/crit dmg with a mg5 frenzy...its....kinda absurd....with the gunner mod you get a 100 round mag. once empty that frenzy buff gives you like 1200RPM firerate @ 500k-1m crits and thanks to the frenzy buff that mag is empty in under 5 sec, so youre constantly in frenzy basically. Sounds like playing a A-10 and is fun as hell.
Using the stryker chest piece , you will rarely reach your 200 stacks. And any delay you will lose those stacks fast. I found the obliterate talent is the best with 10 % assault rifle damage fenris. Also the coyote mask and 4 piece stryker.
Exactly. Ceska is the better choice here. 10% weapon damage vs at least 24% crit damage. I’ll take the crit damage. And suggesting Walker & Harris over Grupo is a huge loss. Contractors will give more than Picaro’s. Players really need to get off the Picaro’s wave in PvE. Almost anything else is better.
🤣🤣🤣 Fenris with obliterate out preforms ceska. I use both on a full red build & I choose fenris all day everyday. And Grupo is a waste of time if you’re using Coyote
My hardcore agent runs striker (no chest nor gloves) with three blue cores (obliterate on the chest). My other hardcore guy runs Fenris with Unbreakable. Both run Shield Splinterer at expertise 17. Once I hit SHD 1000 I should be able to move from Challenging with three directives to Heroic with the same directives.
@IcyVeinsWithin not a fan of the king breaker tho I get it. It just builds the stacks too slow and the vector with it's 1200 rpm basically always putting out high dmg with bonus armour up constantly
Why not use Striker chest, and improvised gloves for the extra stat & gear mod slot, instead of using the striker gloves and only getting 1 core stat & 1 secondary stat? Also, you seem to be leaving out a few important pieces of info: What other stats are you running on your gear? You went over the stats on the mask & alternatives...same thing for the chest piece. But you didnt mention what stats are on the holster, gloves, and knee pads. We can see you re-rolled into armor on those 3 pieces for the primary, but what about the secondary stats?
I only need a Regulus Headshot Striker with 60% chc with gunslinger holster and punchdrunk mask. TTK is the best defense. One shot all dead. Perfect for PvE. Great born as AR and an ACS12 or Rock n Roll as Shotgun.
So let's ask a serious question: Do you think Strikers backpack is better than the chest piece? If the descriptions are anything to go by, the backpack gives less damage than the chest piece: Backpack: 100 stacks at 1% damage = 100% weapon damage increase. Chest piece: 200 stacks at .65% damage = 130% weapon damage increase. Is it just the convenience of getting the full stacks faster or not running something like the Vigilance talent? Or am I missing something here?
The Striker's Chest is only worth it if you can consistently keep the stacks at 75%. If you can't do that, the Striker's Chest is simply not worth it. 🤷♂️
It's basically just a question of how much time you'd spend at 200 stacks vs 100 stacks. I've seen a lot of creators running around with the chestpiece and they barely get over 100 stacks, much less 200. In that case, BP is better.
@@d15p4tch6 That might be why most peeps running a striker build use a shotty as a secondary weapon. My personal choice is the R&R (I think) for the 32 shell capacity. Go in with that street sweeper blazing, and you'll build up stacks pretty quickly.
Good job, busy video, favor forgot again, habit XD. Striker build good, nice best. laugh next video me, yellow sword. that cute. however keep up classic you. lol see next video keep up.
Build 1: Why a fenris (10% AR Damage) ? as we all know as soon as you change weapon you lose the bonus, grupo (15% crit damage)/ceska (10% crit chance) with obliterate, W&H 5% weapon damage yet Grupo gives you 15% Crit Damage, and personally chest & backpack on Legendary is perfect as you'll get your stacks up easy.. Of course this is your personal view but you are losing out. Just a comment as you are stating "The ONLY Striker Builds you Need" yet you are losing out with a fenris compared to grupo/ceska.. I do like your videos of course and yes subbed to you, just find this choice fascinating. Build 3: Is perfect for Legendary with Grupo/Ceska Holster
I always try to lean away from striker, but in the end I always end up going back to it, great video tho love your content 👌🏻
it's Divisions 2 version of the Skyrim Stealth Archer build. most players end up there.

Striker is my go too, but lately ive been loving the heartbreaker with the kingbreaker and hunters fury with ouroborus

Matador is dz exclusive. Farm descent for blueprints. Then you can just craft your own!
The first build is my go to!

Another great informative video! Thanks so much for sharing!
You're welcome 😊
Very nice videos. I run Ninja Bike Backpack, Striker mask, gloves and kneepads. Picaro holster and Fenris vest with Obliterate.
Ive started a balanced strikers, this weekend im going to do a bit of DZ!
As always thank you for the Builds. :)
My pleasure! 💓
hey
i think the grupo sombra chest piece and the FAL assault rifle give more initial damage, but it doesn't have the same stability as elmo
ur fits are on point + love ur characters hair!
I appreciate you, thank you!
My PVE builds are exactly like your Striker build . 1 is with the Coyote mask, second is with to the Momentum back pack
What's better on the St Elmos, critical hit damage or damage to targets out of cover?
Damage to targets out of cover
I use the first build but I run a grupo chest piece for the crit damage.
I run Striker as my main loadout. Thanks for sharing all these variations. I usually run only 2 blue cores with the rest all reds but I almost run PvE

Run all reds pvp you melt all use sheild and revive hive

Good video. Now i know what I can use in PVP/PVE.
so many blues, i run strikers grupo chest with obliterate and coyotes all red with elmos all at 26 never have any trouble outside of the dz
You don’t ever want to use fenris over ceska or grupo.
Exactly. Ceska is the better choice here. 10% weapon damage vs at least 24% crit damage. I’ll take the crit damage. And suggesting Walker & Harris over Grupo is a huge loss. Contractors will give more than Picaro’s. Players really need to get off the Picaro’s wave in PvE. Almost anything else is better.

Run a sniper chainkiller build and you should be gtg 5 directive to level faster.
Im actually having more fun with heartbreaker tbh. 💔
Pve or pvp? if pve use perfect adrenaline backpack and intimate with the vector 45 with technician laser pointer it's great
Heartbreaker Kingbreaker Closer chest my love
@IcyVeinsWithin not a fan of the king breaker tho I get it. It just builds the stacks too slow and the vector with it's 1200 rpm basically always putting out high dmg with bonus armour up constantly
My buddy loves the HB build.
@@profike32I love HB too as well. ❤
Iron lungal és pestilencel is jól müködik,de akkor a coyote helyére kell striker maszk,és contactor térdes:)
SwoRD Gaming, awesome video I loved it
is there a alternate high end AR?, I still don't have st.elmo

It’s so hard to not use Strikers lol, like a cheat code!
I know right lol
I only need a Regulus Headshot Striker with 60% chc with gunslinger holster and punchdrunk mask. TTK is the best defense. One shot all dead. Perfect for PvE. Great born as AR and an ACS12 or Rock n Roll as Shotgun.
It would be nice if we just simply had a 6 piece gear set like in DIV 1...
Thx 🤍🤍

nice set up but I'm too much funny with bulwark set shield shocker punch combo and tha st elmo ...just electrify everybody
Strikers and heartbreaker combined 😏
Damn just need that matador backpack. I have pretty much everything else for my builds but not the matador 😢
Can get that blueprint from decent broski
@@franklysendit8253 descent? oh god damn hate that mode 😂
Good job, busy video, favor forgot again, habit XD. Striker build good, nice best. laugh next video me, yellow sword. that cute. however keep up classic you. lol see next video keep up.
Why you don't show stats and gear mods? It's be more informative for player who want try this!
I think this build is only good in a group. Alone becomes difficult.
Does the kneepads, holster and gloves on the 2nd build all have crit hit chance?
Critical hit damage on the kneepads and gloves. Critical hit chance on the holster.
@@SwoRD_Gaming_ thank you for the reply your awesome I watch your videos all the time🔥
Is this game worth buying now ?
In my opinion, yes
@@SwoRD_Gaming_ bet just bought it I’ll be watching your vids a lot now man
as always:🥰 .... wish you're on PC
Waiting for best striker builds on the division 3 😂
What of kind talent do you have on your west
Perfectly efficient
elmo is boring i play it with the cameleon
Why all the blue on pve build ?
It's my own preference
Hi everyone I’m looking for a clan I can jump in

Build 3: Is perfect for Legendary with Grupo/Ceska Holster
Again, striker's build.
Seems thats all your content revolves around.
🤔🧐
Another great video, love your content. Striker will always be my GOAT so I appreciate the multiple ways to run it ideas. 🫶
Aww, I'm glad! 💓
Goddess with Ouroboros, Striker, Obliterate…
