Just so everyone knows .. if your teammates quit halfway through just wait at the checkpoint, other who are matchmaking can join you. You just cant matchmake.
Hey tux we clear turrets with oxidizer build you can hit the turrets from gazebos in courtyard if you have 2 guys with it on both sides you can clear in 3 mins
As a semi-casual player who has never even tried raiding, this does look intimidating and hard as balls. However, it also looks fun as balls, I didn't know this game had these kinds of mechanics lol. I'm currently trying to improve my Striker build and getting together my first healer build too before going into matchmaking. All in all this was an amazing source of information and with a great production value, 10/10 would click notification bell :)
Your correct it’s frustrating but it’s so damn fun to play at the same time still haven’t pass the tanker cause my teammates are not using the right builds
It's so confusing how you don't have more subscribers and views. Your video production is top notch as is your guides. Thanks again for the work you put into these.
I just wish they would make content tht caters to everyone as i mainly play solo or in a duo and most people i speak to about the game also solo or duo.
I love how the strategy has been simplified to be simply: Tank the damage, and Spank the shit really hard. One guy is just healing non stop Even the cover really isn't used. Gotta leave it to the community to go from elaborate planning, to Apes Together Stronk. Great Video! Especially for new players. This really gonna come in handy for me soon!
Hi Dude, loving the channel and the build guides. We swapped out the medic on the 3rd map for a tank build with 1.9 million armour, Vanguard on the chest and Galvanised on the backpack to give the striker builds bonus armour instead of heals. Like you said in a previous video, you are more confident at attack NPC's when you have all that bonus armour and are more like to stay in the fight. They build also has 80% protection from elites and about 80% hazard protection. I usually take the aggro every other run and the boss cannot effect me with his flames etc. Works really well ;)
Great guide, I’m one of those players that still has yet to do any of the raids and sits quite happy in challenging with my 4/5 blue core builds 😅. Raids and especially meeting other new people really set my anxiety off and I’m petrified of making mistakes but I hope one day I’ll finally push through and get both raids and the incursion done and finally get all the exotic weapons 🙏🤞
You’re not alone. Enjoy the game your way. The raids can be skipped and not missed. Even the exotics aren’t great (except regulus is amazing). I do recommend the incursion one day. The community will adapt and will make it easier for soloists to join up. Get the gun, get out.
I’m the exact same way. I stay in PVE and work on different builds and avoid the incursion because players have no chill if you make a mistake. But if you ever want to run the incursion i would be more than happy to join your team.
I’m very much the same way. However today was like my lucky day. Match made for the incursion because I really wanted the new exotic gun. Got a solid team and we beat it with no mics nothing. And the gun dropped from the lovebirds !
I’ve been playing this game since the release and I’ve never cleared any raids or the incursion. Killed my spirit honestly and I put the game down for several years (2020-2023) but I’ve recently returned and I’m here to say YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE
My cousin is the same way. I would kind of feel bad that I was able to do raids and his anxiety wouldn’t allow him. That’s why I’m kind of glad the raid exotics (though good) are not best in slot weapons.
Thank you so much for putting this guide together. I wanted to do some research on the mission before running with it, hoping to take a little pressure off my teammates. Your explanation is excellent and the floorplans are so helpful. (I admire how calm you remained during the mission. How lucky your teammates were 😁). You’re a champ mate!
I'm learning before attempting the incursion, and this is the best video out there for help and info! Looks like Dragons Nest and Stolen Signal rolled into one
Three full res crit strikers and a healer are literally the only builds you need. MAYBE you could have a tank blocking the named heavy at the end of the tanker protection section, but other than that those two types of builds are all you need. As long as the build is good and the team knows what they’re doing, you can complete it with relative ease. The incursion itself is easy until the Lovebirds. When you get to them, do everything in your power to kill Johnson in the first damage phase. If you can do it, the rest of the boss fight will be a joke. If you don’t, it’ll become significantly harder. Also, an other tip: it seems like if the world difficulty of the team leader is on normal, the health of Johnson’s sniper turrets is much smaller compared to heroic, so keep that in mind. Good luck.
Incursion has taught me something important about the typical Div2 player. Not only is he stupid, but he is unwilling to change his cowboy-style of play in order to carefully coordinate with a team.
Raids in general taught me something about Ubisoft. They want to forcibly shoehorn in nigh-impossible content that only works if you have a team of players as competent as the developers themselves. Spend God only knows how many man-hours on the game leveling up into some kind of god-tier grim reaper and all they say is "Well fuck you, then, we took the same idiot NPCs, buffed them to point where they're deadlier than other players going rogue in a Dark Zone that you somehow stumbled into before even reaching level 5 on your first playthrough of the game." I'm getting sick of Ubisoft constantly making the Division's new content not even worth playing.
This kind of game mode is so frustrating because people(mostly high lvl players) always rage quit, they dont want to help casual players. This made the game which already low on player base loses even more players. Imo, in order for people to enjoy this type of game mode, the game shoud make more hints so we don't have to watch youtube if we want to be able to play. Besides, even if we know what to do, most of casuals still can't beat it because AI hit hard in this game mode
did first run with no clue what to do but had a very supportive team ,and now i made a healer build and learning how to use it in countdown ,got tips in your video thanks for that ,first run no oroboro but finishing the incursion was a reward on itself ,made a future initiative mask,vest,holster and kneepads and BTSU gloves and mountaian hiking backpack from alps summit arnement ,scorpio and shield splinterer as weapons,healer is a different mindset tho healing players and not focusing on killing enemys
Excellent guide, thank you for putting this together. I stepped away for 1 week on business, came back and hit the RAID meatgrinder, what exactly does that mean? I mean the drama that comes with not having the right build, not being able to join an LFG because you have no clears, etc... Except that the new game mode has only been out for 1 week. 1 stinking week, nonetheless I was unable to get with a group to run it. That is, until I met three like minded dudes and we figured it out on our own, we struggled for two hours but got the first clear and learned a lot of the mechanics. The second clear came much faster as we applied lessons learned. I then jumped on a different LFG and hit that attitude meat grinder again; you don't have this, you don't do it the way we do it, all of that drama. It never ceases to amaze me that this crap exists in this small and shrinking community. Your guide is very helpful, and it validates some of the choices we made in our journey. As of last night, the first three bosses are getting easier, I still struggle with the mechanics of the last boss. I've seen it done a few different ways and have not landed on the one I like yet. I do like your idea of playing from the back until baby is destroyed, I think that is a pretty safe way to run it. I just need to find a group willing to try it. I also appreciate the alternative build using the Hunters Fury, I do get tired of running Strikers and Coyote's. Keep the content coming, nice job! P.S. how does one join your clan if we are too old to commit to Discord. I just cant get into that nonsense, too old to change.
I was able to beat this blindly with a skill build. I got the SMG on my second try using a completely different character. I just wish things wasn’t always a DPS check because everyone loves to hold hands with strikers and I hate being a meta slave. Hope the devs can come up with content that requires the use of other builds.
I did this last night. I had to reach down and make sure I still had testicles, that axe man was terrifying! The damn red eye was seeing into my soul! I almost quit The JTF and joined the Cleaners, thats how bad it was.
as an experienced healer, you may find even more success running empathic resolve and the future backpack instead of opportunistic: as empathic gives that 15% bonus to people you heal (which you should be doing at all times) so you can focus on healing. Which will also be buffed because of the backpack talent as long as players stay close to you
@@Twobots1clip if your a healer and everyones not at full health your not healing. And all your gaining is 5% wp dmg but loosing the extra 15% dmg to target debuff
My initial runs this first week taught me everything pretty quickly. Feel very confident going into this next week. Spent the last two days perfing my raid striker and healer Striker build is 2 armor Foxes striker chest and pack + Coyotes dps is massive at 200 stacks. Healer is Alps pack with opp and 1 red core with tech for more dps for my team. I highly recommend protection from elites mods on all your gear since everything is elite. 👍
You could and probably should change the two armor cores for two red ones, you’ll be squishier but to be honest those two armor cores won’t magically make you bulletproof anyway, while having two more weapon damage cores will significantly improve your damage and, by extension, survivability, because you’ll kill enemies much faster than they can take you down.
@@sinner2133 The extra armor with the 36% Pro elites is what makes it viable. I'm already pushing the same if not higher numbers of pure red strikers without the chest. But can stand longer than a few moments if my healer has cool downs or other priorities.
Would running 80% PFE be more or less helpful?....I have an all red Strikers with 80% PFE (Survivalist), there seems to be a lot of conflicting opinion on whether PFE is useful or not....would appreciate your opinion....cheers.
@@martincole106 That sounds right, I'm also on survivalist. The whole incursion is nothing but yellows (minus the turret generators which don't matter imo.) So it's free %dmg negation. Just make sure your strikers can still put out dmg, running the striker chest and backpack would be the easiest way. (100 to 200 stacks and .65 to 1% per stack. It's the diff of 65-100% bonus or with 200 stacks 130-200% dmg increase.) I'm hitting consistent 1.21-1.23m crits Full mag hitting around 12-15m take of it what you will.
@Ph3nom3nalN0is3 Hey thanks for the prompt reply and the info...going to give a try with a random group tonight and see how I get on....appreciated...cheers.
very good guide tux! i would recommend for the striker build changing the chest to striker and the gloves to grupo, you'll be able to have 80-100% striker upkeep with the bosses and ads around the whole mission
Use Fox kneepads. Amplified dmg. Chest give you 200 stacks. With 2 cores blue you loose around 100-200k dmg at max stacks but you have a little bit armor.
Ok but what about negotiators dilemma? I have a build with both coyote or memento with obliterate and I hit close to or around 1mil a crit which is pretty easy especially if you use st. Elmos. Eagle bearer is also good with it. 4piece negotiators and a fenris or grupo chest piece with obliterate. Just swap either the coyote mask or the backpack out with your preference. You can even run 4 Reds and 3 blues and you'll get some good defense if you do the memento way. If you do coyotes you'll at least want one blue core but the rest can go full red crit hit damage and chance. But that's me. Play to your own strength
Quick side note the easy 1mil damage you'll want to run full red coyotes mask with the same talent chest piece. You can throw in a blue if you want just be ready to do slightly less damage but that's expected bc your taking away one red for 1 blue for more armor. Which I highly recommend if you want dps and some leeway on damage reduction. So basically coyote mask fernris/grupo obliterate chest with 4 piece negotiators. The backpack helps due to increasing the damage to marked enemies to 100% instead of 60%
Striker all the way Coyotes mask fox prayer kneepads blue armor on backpack core great dps build easy to get together run countdown for st elmo and the shotgun lefty for perfect sledgehammer go get your weapon agents good video
You have to be picky in order to complete the incursion . The more annoying part is that players don't get a build together that works , fucking it up for the team . By now everyone should know what to run .
After several full watches, finally feel ready to tackle the Incursion with matchmakeing Thanks so much for making this video with such high production value! Incredible work.
New here - your building Stacks with the Shotgun? Is it Strikers set stacks? Or which buff are you stacking with the Shotgun? Why not build it with the AR? Awesome video by the way 👌
Yes. Using shotgun to build striker stacks. The number of pellets each count as a hit. So it stacks faster. Acs is full auto. So it’s even faster than other shotguns. Just have to do it once per checkpoint.
@@TuxedoBandido BTW you also build striker stacks when the bosses are IMMUNE (assuming you HIT the target), so make sure to keep your stacks high before vulnerability phase for bosses 3 and (more importantly) 4.
When I ran this , we had the healer reaponsible for aleays taking the aggro so that the DPS players could clear ads first then take on hammer man ( having ads and the boss together make ls it tougher , so first ad control then boss))Now when a DPS opens the valve he gets the aggro , so then the healer runs to the CR and opens another valve and the aggro falls back on the healer. And so DPS players were always free. It was much quicker this way. Also using only the Bar and booth on the spots near the entrance of the CR was the better choice to shower the boss as everyone could DPS the boss since he is closer and if there are any ads they aren't too close. We have to be aware of those 3 white lines on the boss's health bar which segment the bar into 3. Everytime his health fell below that he would release purple smoke which would cause a explosion in the entire area. Staying as far as possible and in cover helps survive that blast. By far this was my favorite area.
I use 4 piece striker with all wep damage and all crit damage. 1 grupo. And coyote mask. 188% crit damage 42% crit chance with st. Elmo. With Oreo its 53 crit chance and 188 crit damage.
I agree the water boss is easy hard. It really is such a simple mechanic. If two dps players can take care of the ads, then get damage on the boss when needed you can fly through it. If you have your own squad you play with all the time you should really have no problem. It gets far more difficult for us solo players who have to matchmake, and half the time people are asking what we are doing, and it's like why come in blind? At least watch a youtube video to know the mechanics before actually doing the incursion geezzz. So then you're having to sit there, and explain everything to them, then they start asking all kinds of questions because half the time they can't process the strategy you just laid out fast enough. Sometimes you get lucky in matchmaking, but most of the time its super frustrating.
ya, this is why I solo and why I don't like forced grouped content that isn't a mindless zerg (CD). talking to mouth-breathers is just soooo tedious. /s
3 x dps striker 1 x healer.CP1 1 take turret left 1 take turret right, 1 take sniper and help with other one taking out the rest.CP2 Split into 4, 2 left and right above, 2 under left and right. The rest is easy. CP4 go into the little opening on balcony after the drone is out and damage them there. Sniper can’t shoot there
The intro is literally my impressions too. I'm not great but I, at least, know what is happening. Had a random the other day, where we get to the 3rd part, he was running around randomly pressing the water and then ran around in a circle for 5 mins with us yelling at him to stop pressing random buttons, come to us and stuff. We finally beat it but he had the nerve to be like hey you guys know what to do for the last boss right? I'm like dude.. do you? It's not hard to just watch random YT or something or just go all red and deal damage.. gosh.
Some parts very much remind me of the faye Lau mission at the end with the helicopter, you're bombarded with drone bombers and snipers. Huge misconception in this game is just because you're say 3000shd doesn't make you a great player, in this game. Someone mentioned being on mic and was commented no skill base, that's not helping new players feel confident about this, i know some find it hard with mic, i do because of enxiaty, but trust a person with severe enxiaty that a good team will be patient and let you ask questions, it also boosts up your own confidence being on a mic. Even in the faye mission it helps when you're down to say what you're intentions are, "I'm moving to you, or don't come to me because you will die". Having basic tactics all the team know before heading to next level. I've not done this yet and i know my skill level, it's ok doing heroic landmarks and even heroic bounties, but i struggle with legendary, and I've not got an ego that can't say this, there's great players out there who i know can carry you threw this, TUX, MCWAYNE 123 , GCROCK, DJ TICKLE, from just what I've seen, great players with good attitudes..Good luck agents the devs certainly put us to the test on this one lol ✌️
I saw SHD lvl 4000+ with half ass all blue core builds and SHD lvl 200 with an all red Striker / Coyote / Grupo build . We even had an SHD lvl 700 ish Healer doing an amazing job . You can literally see who wants to complete it and who wants to be carried . 🤙
Great video. I am a solo player. Dead clan (i'm usually the only one playing) and no friends so I probably will never do raids and such, which I am ok with. I'm just wondering HOW you are getting those damage number. I'm not even close to getting those kinds of numbers. I run a similar strikers setup but still have a hard time with Heroic level content sometimes. Expertise on all gear and guns is only 13, but still... no idea what I'm doing wrong. And dont even ask about PvP... I dont play it anymore because people get upset with me. Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions for me
If he had 5 yellows and was running survivalist he probably had the tdi kard custom pistol to give the 6th tier and would equip it when he needed to overcharge
@@chrisdavison4915 What do you mean "skill issues" every video ive seen especially at the lounge its pretty clear someone needs to say when to switch the water on. Saying skill issues isnt giving confidence to new player's, sounds abit elitest tbh. I would very much recommend mic especially on the first run so a new player can ask questions.
@@digitaldogs233 nope. Not everyone has mics or friends so matchmaking is all most people will have. So you're saying someone needs a mic to tell someone else to pull the valve on second boss? Why not just watch where boss is at an wait until he's on the square? Pretty simple even for new players. Still a skill issue. You'll get it... or you won't.
I really don't think gatekeeping certain gear/weapons behind specific content makes sense. Like sure, if I want to ensure the CN boosting/farming services get paid and send kickbacks I'd allow it, but it basically just messes other content. The open-world Control Point concept is awesome and varied, would have been great with Legendary levelling. But now if you want to grind a specific thing you either have to do the raid, risk DZ, incursion, or wait for half an hour to do legendary summit only to get trash loot. Now everyone is just running countdown nonstop. Mindnumbing. I know that a core part of this game is grinding but that shouldn't involve gatekeeping. All content should be accessible via the way players want to play. Want to grind in DZ? Fine, all content can be gathered. Open-world/CPs? Same. I hope Massive/Ubisoft go this route for D3.
Nice guide Tux. Really like the room diagram as I haven’t seen any other content creator include that (great for new players). What is your opinion on using restorer hives (all DPS players) instead of revive hives? I’ve seen this done for a flawless run and then we are not completely dependent on the healer for keeping us up.
So, they are saying that the Scorpio Shutgun bugs out Wright (Boss), and he becomes immune permanently. Given this, would you pick a different weapon or pick a different build than Hunter's Fury?
I just got to shd level 10 and had no idea what this mission what about and just tried it and got carried by 2 insanely good people and they basically just did this by themselves
yea i'm an average Joe.... i have no in-game friends to group up with, so right now it looks like i'll never get any of the raids done.... i don't have any of the raid exotics ...lol oh well... i do appreciate this guide though... at least i'll be informed 😁
Hey I'm right there with you. Just play solo and try to get a lot better before trying to find someone to team up with. Tge last thing I want is any drama because they don't like the way I play.
You need dps builds, too many time iv joined a group and theyve all got armor regen and skill builds and we cant do anything, completed with 4 dps, we burnt johnson and then martinez back to back,
@@TuxedoBandido what i think is that the final boss is mainly good since after their drone got destroyed they usually go back and stand there for like 15 seconds but the bar boss fight is random espically when matchmaking with randoms and theres not much time when it comes to damaging the bar boss. so i do think having oblierate is a good idea for burst damage mainly for bar boss in my opinion but all honesty im just not quite sure. Sorry for long rambling 😅
IMO this incursion is a perfect use case for both striker chest and pack. would highly recommend for bosses 3 and 4 for sure, 1 and 2 are kinda whatever floats your boat.
I used it for the tanker part and the last 2 bosses . You can easily maintain the 200 stacks during the tanker part and it also helps melting Johnson . 🤙
Having shock stickies in the first part instead of decoys makes it go faster especially if 2 people run it, hate the flame twins though, it's their agro can go to one player 😢
Tux i been watching all your Division 2 guides / builds im still a newish player i say Watch lv 130- but i get confused by the running 2 guns- if u use one gun then swap then u loose the perk / buff it offers so why do we switch? since i seen you using 2 shotguns in your builds. could you offer a little insight into that to help me understand more?
Great question. Some weapon buffs don’t get lost on switch. But you’re right, many do. For striker and heartbreaker builds, the gear set stacks are the most important thing you can have, especially upfront. So we use the acs shotgun to build those stacks the fastest way. Best to start out that way and use it every time you need to rebuild. Way to get max power. But we try to maintain the stacks with the assault rifle from there. At least need acs once per checkpoint.
@@TuxedoBandido ohh ok that’s good to know I’ll go farm thoes sets and try to get said shotgun that you mention. Ty for the reply. I love my skill build but when I switch off the capacitor I lose that buff and it just confuse me and lose all that dmg that it offers me for said skills
Do you have bigginers guids on thé other 2 raids i never don them before and befor i do a raid in any game i want to know all thé mechanics of all thé Parts in thé raids so i know what to do in any position
It’s the exotic gloves I believe. Detonating a Hive refreshes your skill cooldowns and grants overcharge for 15s. If at Skill Tier 6, this effect also applies to all allies.
Man I switched to ps5 from Xbox had to restart at shd 200 grinding hard to get to 1000 I need a squad to run with to help me through this randoms are rough I have the dps build with st Elmo’s And lefty need help getting through this really wanting the new smg I’m down to learn and do whatever I gotta do to get it as far as the game I’m not blowing anybody lol so let me know please any veteran agents willing to teach me And help me through it would be awesome
I would love to run incursions! What I need to do is leave my clan and join a clan that actually plans D2! Because 98% of my clan doesn't play anymore!
Totally worth it. Easy to use and strong. And FUN! The tactical vector is closest thing to it, but you will notice the small mag. The incursion, honestly isnt hard. Its the random group that will make it hard. People not on the same page, no comms, random builds.

Three full res crit strikers and a healer are literally the only builds you need. MAYBE you could have a tank blocking the named heavy at the end of the tanker protection section, but other than that those two types of builds are all you need. As long as the build is good and the team knows what they’re doing, you can complete it with relative ease. The incursion itself is easy until the Lovebirds.

If you don’t, it’ll become significantly harder. Also, an other tip: it seems like if the world difficulty of the team leader is on normal, the health of Johnson’s sniper turrets is much smaller compared to heroic, so keep that in mind. Good luck.

did first run with no clue what to do but had a very supportive team ,and now i made a healer build and learning how to use it in countdown ,got tips in your video thanks for that ,first run no oroboro but finishing the incursion was a reward on itself ,made a future initiative mask,vest,holster and kneepads and BTSU gloves and mountaian hiking backpack from alps summit arnement ,scorpio and shield splinterer as weapons,healer is a different mindset tho healing players and not focusing on killing enemys
Striker gear set plus chameleon u can hit up to about 2 mil a headshot with like 50 protection from elites
Excellent guide, thank you for putting this together. I stepped away for 1 week on business, came back and hit the RAID meatgrinder, what exactly does that mean? I mean the drama that comes with not having the right build, not being able to join an LFG because you have no clears, etc... Except that the new game mode has only been out for 1 week. 1 stinking week, nonetheless I was unable to get with a group to run it. That is, until I met three like minded dudes and we figured it out on our own, we struggled for two hours but got the first clear and learned a lot of the mechanics. The second clear came much faster as we applied lessons learned. I then jumped on a different LFG and hit that attitude meat grinder again; you don't have this, you don't do it the way we do it, all of that drama. It never ceases to amaze me that this crap exists in this small and shrinking community. Your guide is very helpful, and it validates some of the choices we made in our journey. As of last night, the first three bosses are getting easier, I still struggle with the mechanics of the last boss. I've seen it done a few different ways and have not landed on the one I like yet. I do like your idea of playing from the back until baby is destroyed, I think that is a pretty safe way to run it. I just need to find a group willing to try it.
I also appreciate the alternative build using the Hunters Fury, I do get tired of running Strikers and Coyote's.
Keep the content coming, nice job!
P.S. how does one join your clan if we are too old to commit to Discord. I just cant get into that nonsense, too old to change.
I get so much info from your vids and really I don't think you realize how helpful you are on a weekly basis. Thanks again.
Yes beat it alot and great job explaining the fire boss room. This will help alot of people .
Thanks for making this video for us average Joe's that map is very helpful you are the first I've seen do that awesome appreciate it!👍👍👏👏🙏🤙✌️
Fantastic video! Thank you ,music was the dogs as well,the best division video hands down 😊
Most important tip: make sure world tier is on normal. It seems to affect skill / object health.
Wait for real? I did not know this
Wouldn’t that impact loot drops?
I could not find 4 agents so we went in duo ! Work out quite fine :D
10/10 would do it again ! Lot of fun this way
Wow. Nice.
10/10 in one run as a duo ?
Just found this dude for Div 2 content. The music during gameplay....wow. Take my sub bro
I was able to beat this blindly with a skill build. I got the SMG on my second try using a completely different character. I just wish things wasn’t always a DPS check because everyone loves to hold hands with strikers and I hate being a meta slave. Hope the devs can come up with content that requires the use of other builds.
I did this last night. I had to reach down and make sure I still had testicles, that axe man was terrifying! The damn red eye was seeing into my soul! I almost quit The JTF and joined the Cleaners, thats how bad it was.
lol. Too funny 😁
Wow. Had no idea you could interact with the painting to get the key for the door later on. Nice work! 👍
as an experienced healer, you may find even more success running empathic resolve and the future backpack instead of opportunistic: as empathic gives that 15% bonus to people you heal (which you should be doing at all times) so you can focus on healing. Which will also be buffed because of the backpack talent as long as players stay close to you
And loose the 25% on the future chest? Sounds like gas lighting
@@61hellfire you get THIRTY if you run EMPATHIC >:(
(15 from the future initiative gear set)
(15 from empathic)
Yall need to learn how to do math fr
+ that 25% is only ever applied when you are at full health, which is why empathic is just better
@@Twobots1clip if your a healer and everyones not at full health your not healing. And all your gaining is 5% wp dmg but loosing the extra 15% dmg to target debuff
My initial runs this first week taught me everything pretty quickly. Feel very confident going into this next week. Spent the last two days perfing my raid striker and healer
Striker build is 2 armor Foxes striker chest and pack + Coyotes dps is massive at 200 stacks.
Healer is Alps pack with opp and 1 red core with tech for more dps for my team.
I highly recommend protection from elites mods on all your gear since everything is elite. 👍
You could and probably should change the two armor cores for two red ones, you’ll be squishier but to be honest those two armor cores won’t magically make you bulletproof anyway, while having two more weapon damage cores will significantly improve your damage and, by extension, survivability, because you’ll kill enemies much faster than they can take you down.
@@sinner2133 The extra armor with the 36% Pro elites is what makes it viable. I'm already pushing the same if not higher numbers of pure red strikers without the chest. But can stand longer than a few moments if my healer has cool downs or other priorities.
Would running 80% PFE be more or less helpful?....I have an all red Strikers with 80% PFE (Survivalist), there seems to be a lot of conflicting opinion on whether PFE is useful or not....would appreciate your opinion....cheers.
@@martincole106 That sounds right, I'm also on survivalist. The whole incursion is nothing but yellows (minus the turret generators which don't matter imo.) So it's free %dmg negation. Just make sure your strikers can still put out dmg, running the striker chest and backpack would be the easiest way. (100 to 200 stacks and .65 to 1% per stack. It's the diff of 65-100% bonus or with 200 stacks 130-200% dmg increase.)
I'm hitting consistent 1.21-1.23m crits Full mag hitting around 12-15m take of it what you will.
@Ph3nom3nalN0is3 Hey thanks for the prompt reply and the info...going to give a try with a random group tonight and see how I get on....appreciated...cheers.
very good guide tux! i would recommend for the striker build changing the chest to striker and the gloves to grupo, you'll be able to have 80-100% striker upkeep with the bosses and ads around the whole mission
Thanks for the tip! I was wondering if I should.
Use Fox kneepads. Amplified dmg. Chest give you 200 stacks. With 2 cores blue you loose around 100-200k dmg at max stacks but you have a little bit armor.
I agree 👍 Chest and Backpack(striker must) Coyote and Grupo! You will do great dmg plus 15% more CHD/Grupo 💪❤️
Always like tux vids and streams. Awesome builds and a no b.s honest opinion.👍
Excited to try this. Got Big Horn on my 1st legendary run. *fingers crossed *
Ok but what about negotiators dilemma? I have a build with both coyote or memento with obliterate and I hit close to or around 1mil a crit which is pretty easy especially if you use st. Elmos. Eagle bearer is also good with it. 4piece negotiators and a fenris or grupo chest piece with obliterate. Just swap either the coyote mask or the backpack out with your preference. You can even run 4 Reds and 3 blues and you'll get some good defense if you do the memento way. If you do coyotes you'll at least want one blue core but the rest can go full red crit hit damage and chance. But that's me. Play to your own strength
Quick side note the easy 1mil damage you'll want to run full red coyotes mask with the same talent chest piece. You can throw in a blue if you want just be ready to do slightly less damage but that's expected bc your taking away one red for 1 blue for more armor. Which I highly recommend if you want dps and some leeway on damage reduction. So basically coyote mask fernris/grupo obliterate chest with 4 piece negotiators. The backpack helps due to increasing the damage to marked enemies to 100% instead of 60%
Give it a try tell me how it worked out . 🤙
Thanks again for this.
Great place to start!
Close to beating it, so close😞
You got this!
Striker all the way Coyotes mask fox prayer kneepads blue armor on backpack core great dps build easy to get together run countdown for st elmo and the shotgun lefty for perfect sledgehammer go get your weapon agents good video
First check point use skill build oxidiser from the two circle bit before u go to the stairs 1 healer and two dps To keep ads off u try that
IMO this is more straight forward but for whatever reason not as popular strat (to use oxi from the gazebos, which are safe from mortars).
Should definitely switch gunner for Firewall, much more damage by using the striker shield
I always struggle to get others that aren’t so picky about what I use in a build
In raids or incursion you need specific builds.
You have to be picky in order to complete the incursion . The more annoying part is that players don't get a build together that works , fucking it up for the team . By now everyone should know what to run .
@@noway2728I "love" those bots with 16% CHC and trying to put down Hunters in Countdown too 😂😂😂
I seem to struggle to get agents that do not quit
Yep, or come in using whack builds (looking at those who want to use bulwark and true patriot) in a damage check.
After several full watches, finally feel ready to tackle the Incursion with matchmakeing Thanks so much for making this video with such high production value! Incredible work.
Glad I could help! good luck out there. Remember to be patient, it will test your patience.
Agreed about being the healer. It’s probably the most important job. Being dps is easy.
My healer build I did last year is perfect for this incursion wooooo
New here - your building Stacks with the Shotgun? Is it Strikers set stacks? Or which buff are you stacking with the Shotgun? Why not build it with the AR?
Awesome video by the way 👌
Yes. Using shotgun to build striker stacks. The number of pellets each count as a hit. So it stacks faster. Acs is full auto. So it’s even faster than other shotguns. Just have to do it once per checkpoint.
@@TuxedoBandido BTW you also build striker stacks when the bosses are IMMUNE (assuming you HIT the target), so make sure to keep your stacks high before vulnerability phase for bosses 3 and (more importantly) 4.
When I ran this , we had the healer reaponsible for aleays taking the aggro so that the DPS players could clear ads first then take on hammer man ( having ads and the boss together make ls it tougher , so first ad control then boss))Now when a DPS opens the valve he gets the aggro , so then the healer runs to the CR and opens another valve and the aggro falls back on the healer. And so DPS players were always free. It was much quicker this way. Also using only the Bar and booth on the spots near the entrance of the CR was the better choice to shower the boss as everyone could DPS the boss since he is closer and if there are any ads they aren't too close.
We have to be aware of those 3 white lines on the boss's health bar which segment the bar into 3. Everytime his health fell below that he would release purple smoke which would cause a explosion in the entire area. Staying as far as possible and in cover helps survive that blast. By far this was my favorite area.
I’m coming back to the game, does the automatic shotgun help a lot with getting stacks fast for striker builds?
Exactly. And heartbreaker builds. And obliterate talent.
Perfect video and tutorial like allways!! You da best man 💪💪💪🔫🎮👏👏👏
Big thanks
I use 4 piece striker with all wep damage and all crit damage. 1 grupo. And coyote mask. 188% crit damage 42% crit chance with st. Elmo. With Oreo its 53 crit chance and 188 crit damage.
I just recently maxed out my healer build but I've been using safeguard so I've gotta get use to using opportunistic should be fun
I agree the water boss is easy hard. It really is such a simple mechanic. If two dps players can take care of the ads, then get damage on the boss when needed you can fly through it. If you have your own squad you play with all the time you should really have no problem. It gets far more difficult for us solo players who have to matchmake, and half the time people are asking what we are doing, and it's like why come in blind? At least watch a youtube video to know the mechanics before actually doing the incursion geezzz. So then you're having to sit there, and explain everything to them, then they start asking all kinds of questions because half the time they can't process the strategy you just laid out fast enough. Sometimes you get lucky in matchmaking, but most of the time its super frustrating.
ya, this is why I solo and why I don't like forced grouped content that isn't a mindless zerg (CD). talking to mouth-breathers is just soooo tedious. /s
3 x dps striker 1 x healer.CP1 1 take turret left 1 take turret right, 1 take sniper and help with other one taking out the rest.CP2 Split into 4, 2 left and right above, 2 under left and right. The rest is easy. CP4 go into the little opening on balcony after the drone is out and damage them there. Sniper can’t shoot there
The intro is literally my impressions too. I'm not great but I, at least, know what is happening. Had a random the other day, where we get to the 3rd part, he was running around randomly pressing the water and then ran around in a circle for 5 mins with us yelling at him to stop pressing random buttons, come to us and stuff. We finally beat it but he had the nerve to be like hey you guys know what to do for the last boss right? I'm like dude.. do you? It's not hard to just watch random YT or something or just go all red and deal damage.. gosh.
Thank you for doing this, great job 🙂👍
you bet
Can you please list the music used. I can tell it's mixed up and it's great.
Man this is a nice video, I've made a striker and hotshot build that can two tap chongus but im low shd lvl and afraid to do raid or incursion haha
Some parts very much remind me of the faye Lau mission at the end with the helicopter, you're bombarded with drone bombers and snipers. Huge misconception in this game is just because you're say 3000shd doesn't make you a great player, in this game. Someone mentioned being on mic and was commented no skill base, that's not helping new players feel confident about this, i know some find it hard with mic, i do because of enxiaty, but trust a person with severe enxiaty that a good team will be patient and let you ask questions, it also boosts up your own confidence being on a mic. Even in the faye mission it helps when you're down to say what you're intentions are, "I'm moving to you, or don't come to me because you will die". Having basic tactics all the team know before heading to next level. I've not done this yet and i know my skill level, it's ok doing heroic landmarks and even heroic bounties, but i struggle with legendary, and I've not got an ego that can't say this, there's great players out there who i know can carry you threw this, TUX, MCWAYNE 123 , GCROCK, DJ TICKLE, from just what I've seen, great players with good attitudes..Good luck agents the devs certainly put us to the test on this one lol ✌️
I saw SHD lvl 4000+ with half ass all blue core builds and SHD lvl 200 with an all red Striker / Coyote / Grupo build . We even had an SHD lvl 700 ish Healer doing an amazing job . You can literally see who wants to complete it and who wants to be carried . 🤙
Great video. I am a solo player. Dead clan (i'm usually the only one playing) and no friends so I probably will never do raids and such, which I am ok with. I'm just wondering HOW you are getting those damage number. I'm not even close to getting those kinds of numbers. I run a similar strikers setup but still have a hard time with Heroic level content sometimes. Expertise on all gear and guns is only 13, but still... no idea what I'm doing wrong. And dont even ask about PvP... I dont play it anymore because people get upset with me. Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions for me
Thanks man, great guide. Subbed
Glad it helped
Thanks Tux, I’ve done the incursion about 20 times and the Ouroboros has not dropped for me once. A bloody nightmare 😣😢
Thank you tux
Whats that version of Hey What's going on from 4 Non Blondes durcing Chapter 1? Love it!
I probably missed something, but how do you overcharge / reset Reviver Hive for team members with the BTSU with just 5 yellows cores?
If he had 5 yellows and was running survivalist he probably had the tdi kard custom pistol to give the 6th tier and would equip it when he needed to overcharge
No and No.
You really need to have a team with mics. Communication is pretty key.
Great work tux, as per!
Don't need mics... 9 clears no one had mics. Skill issue...
@@chrisdavison4915 - ZSure
@@chrisdavison4915
What do you mean "skill issues" every video ive seen especially at the lounge its pretty clear someone needs to say when to switch the water on. Saying skill issues isnt giving confidence to new player's, sounds abit elitest tbh. I would very much recommend mic especially on the first run so a new player can ask questions.
I agree, would really help if someone was confused about something. We're not all great players and need these cushions. There's no I in team.
@@digitaldogs233 nope. Not everyone has mics or friends so matchmaking is all most people will have. So you're saying someone needs a mic to tell someone else to pull the valve on second boss? Why not just watch where boss is at an wait until he's on the square? Pretty simple even for new players. Still a skill issue. You'll get it... or you won't.
I really don't think gatekeeping certain gear/weapons behind specific content makes sense. Like sure, if I want to ensure the CN boosting/farming services get paid and send kickbacks I'd allow it, but it basically just messes other content. The open-world Control Point concept is awesome and varied, would have been great with Legendary levelling. But now if you want to grind a specific thing you either have to do the raid, risk DZ, incursion, or wait for half an hour to do legendary summit only to get trash loot.
Now everyone is just running countdown nonstop. Mindnumbing. I know that a core part of this game is grinding but that shouldn't involve gatekeeping. All content should be accessible via the way players want to play. Want to grind in DZ? Fine, all content can be gathered. Open-world/CPs? Same. I hope Massive/Ubisoft go this route for D3.
especially when the gate is broken. lol
Thanks Tux!
Nice guide Tux. Really like the room diagram as I haven’t seen any other content creator include that (great for new players). What is your opinion on using restorer hives (all DPS players) instead of revive hives? I’ve seen this done for a flawless run and then we are not completely dependent on the healer for keeping us up.
It’s a great idea. But for rando I’d just do revive for sake of simplicity
@@TuxedoBandidoWe’ve been using teams, no rando’s. Last run did have 2 newbie’s though. Restorer hives to hopefully flawless next time.
I use Alpen submit back pack with Safeguard its like 400+% Skill repair my chem heals for 1.6M and with overdrive it's 1.8m
So, they are saying that the Scorpio Shutgun bugs out Wright (Boss), and he becomes immune permanently. Given this, would you pick a different weapon or pick a different build than Hunter's Fury?
Very pro rundown
I just got to shd level 10 and had no idea what this mission what about and just tried it and got carried by 2 insanely good people and they basically just did this by themselves
Without mics
Where can I find a group to do incursions? I stream too
yea i'm an average Joe.... i have no in-game friends to group up with, so right now it looks like i'll never get any of the raids done.... i don't have any of the raid exotics ...lol oh well... i do appreciate this guide though... at least i'll be informed 😁
Hey I'm right there with you. Just play solo and try to get a lot better before trying to find someone to team up with. Tge last thing I want is any drama because they don't like the way I play.
Question: this healer build requires 6 tiers (for BTSU), but shows 5 tiers… am I missing a detail? 5:09
The music in the background!!!! Any links?
17:57 is easy hard an oxymoron like military intelligence? 😂 I’m curious because I’m a veteran 😂
I want to try to run this with chameleon instead of elmo and see how it goes.
You need dps builds, too many time iv joined a group and theyve all got armor regen and skill builds and we cant do anything, completed with 4 dps, we burnt johnson and then martinez back to back,
is it a good idea to have striker chest and backpack for that damage?
The chest is good idea, but I haven’t tested. Obliterate helps with more burst. But possible to maintain that chest cause so much shooting.
@@TuxedoBandido what i think is that the final boss is mainly good since after their drone got destroyed they usually go back and stand there for like 15 seconds but the bar boss fight is random espically when matchmaking with randoms and theres not much time when it comes to damaging the bar boss. so i do think having oblierate is a good idea for burst damage mainly for bar boss in my opinion but all honesty im just not quite sure.
Sorry for long rambling 😅
Oh yeah keep up with the good video production, It helped me quite a lot when making builds👍
IMO this incursion is a perfect use case for both striker chest and pack. would highly recommend for bosses 3 and 4 for sure, 1 and 2 are kinda whatever floats your boat.
I used it for the tanker part and the last 2 bosses . You can easily maintain the 200 stacks during the tanker part and it also helps melting Johnson . 🤙
Beat it a couple times so far and have yet to get that damn gun
inevitable inevitable inevitable Mr. Anderson
How do you group for incursion? My Incursion is grayed out in the group finder.
@@JohnDoe8308 Not yet. I don't know what to do.

Are the adds respawning constantly,Phase 1?
Tux i been watching all your Division 2 guides / builds im still a newish player i say Watch lv 130- but i get confused by the running 2 guns- if u use one gun then swap then u loose the perk / buff it offers so why do we switch? since i seen you using 2 shotguns in your builds. could you offer a little insight into that to help me understand more?
Great question. Some weapon buffs don’t get lost on switch. But you’re right, many do. For striker and heartbreaker builds, the gear set stacks are the most important thing you can have, especially upfront. So we use the acs shotgun to build those stacks the fastest way. Best to start out that way and use it every time you need to rebuild. Way to get max power. But we try to maintain the stacks with the assault rifle from there. At least need acs once per checkpoint.
@@TuxedoBandido ohh ok that’s good to know I’ll go farm thoes sets and try to get said shotgun that you mention.
Ty for the reply.
I love my skill build but when I switch off the capacitor I lose that buff and it just confuse me and lose all that dmg that it offers me for said skills
Do you have bigginers guids on thé other 2 raids i never don them before and befor i do a raid in any game i want to know all thé mechanics of all thé Parts in thé raids so i know what to do in any position
Nice..but i dont think that door is to remain open after the mission start pretty sure that going to be patched soon

What are the skills for the healer that refresh teammate hives?
It’s the exotic gloves I believe.
Detonating a Hive refreshes your skill cooldowns and grants overcharge for 15s. If at Skill Tier 6, this effect also applies to all allies.

I would love to run incursions! What I need to do is leave my clan and join a clan that actually plans D2! Because 98% of my clan doesn't play anymore!
Is the Ouroboros worth it? Asking as I’ve not tried Incursion yet but I hear it’s brutally hard.
Totally worth it. Easy to use and strong. And FUN! The tactical vector is closest thing to it, but you will notice the small mag. The incursion, honestly isnt hard. Its the random group that will make it hard. People not on the same page, no comms, random builds.
