The Division 1.8.1 - Hunter's Faith Classified Build

Snipers,

The Division is a game that, when it comes to sniping, isn't really all that tailored for it. Unless you're on a keyboard/mouse, using snipers in this game can be quite frustrating. Especially when you have to do more than a headshot for a kill. Fortunately, the Hunter's Faith build comes to rectify that gap. I can't recommend this for PvP (since your Stamina will be the lowest ever) but for a PvE insta-kill, this one's awesome!

Intro

Hunter's Faith Classified build is simple the highest damage build I've ever seen. However, be warned that this is not a build you can use Solo. As in real life, sniping is - at least - a two man team work, spotter and shooter. While this build is a sure killer, you'll need a healer or a good squad to take the most out of it on Legendary Missions and/or Incursions. But, if you have the right team and wanna take on those major missions, this is great for that one-shot-kill feeling.

The Weapons

M700 Carbon / Talents: Accurate + Brutal + Elevated

▴ Omega Rifle Suppressor (HSD, CHC, Accuracy)
▴ Angle Grip (Stability, Reload Speed, Accuracy)
▴ Extended Mag (+5% RoF, Reload Speed)
▴ M4 M5A2 Scope 15x (Optimal Range, CHD, Stability)

Paratrooper SVD / Talents: Prepared + Harmful + Disciplined

▴ Omega Rifle Suppressor (HSD, CHC, CHD)
▴ Angle Grip (Stability, Optima Range, Accuracy)
▴ Extended Mag (+5%RoF, CHD)
▴ VX-1 Scope (HSD, Accuracy, Optimal Range)

Centurion / Talents: Expert + Harmful

▴ Ti-Rant Suppressor (CHD, CHC, HSD)

▴ Ext. Mag (+5% RoF, CHD)

Since I'm on console, I focused on Stability and Optimal Range on my weapons and compensate for the CHD, CHC on my Gear/Mods. I mainly use the M700 for the long range harder NPC's and switch to the SVD for incoming enemies and crowd control damage. This combination can be switched for a two M700 if you want to always go for the major HSD damage but I'm more comfortable this way.

10K Firearms is something that will make this build go from great to excellent. Just keep in mind that your Stamina will decrease exponentially!

The Gear

Body Armor
▴ All Resistance + Health + Ammo Capacity

Mask
▴ Enemy Armor Damage + Damage to Elites

Kneepads
▴ Health + 3 Resistances

Backpack
▴ CHD + 1 Resistance

Glove
▴ CHC + CHD + Marksman Rifle Damage

Holster
▴ CHC

Gear Mods

▸ 4x (+1% CHC Firearms) + 1x (+3000 Health Firearms)

▸ 4x (+6% First Aid Self Heal)

You can switch for 5x (3% Damage to Elites Firearms) on Legendary missions. You're total Firearms will get lower but your damage will increase substantially. Since you'll be stationary most of the time, you'll need a good amount of resistance against status effect by NPC's.

Skills

▸ Booster Shot + Recovery Link + Tactical Scanner (for Max Damage)
▸ Immunizer + Recovery Link + Booster Shot (for Legendary Missions)

Talents

▸ Critical Save + Strike Back + Stopping Power + One is None

Final Verdict

Not gonna lie, just like the Tactician, this is one of my most fun and enjoyable builds. Sure, it's not perfect and yes, you'll need a good to great team to fully enjoy it but the simple feeling of getting to kill event the hardest NPC's with one shot just gives me a complete new and rare satisfaction on The Division. I advice you to give it a try and experience it, you may find yourself addicted to it!

Thanks for your time and I'll see you next build agents!
