The Division 1.8.2 - Striker [6K] Classified Build

Striker,

Just the mention of this gear name in The Division is cause for almost instant acknowledgement from the community and players as one of the most (if not the most) wanted and powerful build in the game. What some may not realize is that this already powerful gear has two major versions on the game: The +6000 (6K) and the +9000 (9K) Stamina builds. 

Intro

I'll start with the base 6K build, as this is the most common and easier build to achieve of the two. Just as is, this build will help you carry any PvE or PvP activity in the game. The damage stack effect is such that (if you are skilled) most legendary NPC's will just die after the first clip. Not only that, this will even help you regenerate a portion of your health. So, damage and health on a single build? Yes, please.

The Weapons

The ShowStopper / Talents: Deadly + Responsive 

▴ Angle Grip - Red (CHD, Stability, Reload Speed)
▴ Rugged Mini Reflex Sight (CHC, CHD, HSD)

Lightweight M4 / Talents: Deadly + Unforgiving + Responsive

▴ Omega Rifle Supressor (CHC, CHD, HSD)
▴ Small Grip - Red (CHD, Stability, Optimal Range)
▴ Extended Mag (+5,5% RoF, CHD)
▴ C79 Scope (CHC, CHD, HSD)

Sawd Off Shotgun / Talents: Capable (Should be Deadly) + Predatory + Determined

You must use The ShowStopper to stack up your damage close to 100 first, after that, either keep using it for close range damage or switch to your Assault Rifle for continuous injury on long or medium range opponents. If you go into full close combat PvP you can switch your Lightweight M4 for The House. Believe me it will do wonders!

This build is fully optimized since it's the absolute main for most activities in the game.

The Gear

Body Armor
▴ Enemy Armor Damage + Health + Ammo Capacity

Mask
▴ CHC + Damage to Elites

Kneepads
▴ Health + Damage to Elites + 2 Resistances

Backpack
▴ Health + Ammo Capacity

Glove
▴ CHC + CHD + Assault Rifle damage (SMG Damage if using The House)

Holster
▴ Health

Gear Mods

▸ 1x (+1% CHC Firearms) + 1x (+1% CHC Stamina) + 3x (+3000 Health Stamina)

▸ 4x (+6% First Aid Self Heal)

You should try and balance your Stamina and Firearms accordingly (I prefer to emphasize Firearms). As you can tell, this build is tailored towards Damage to Elites and Health. This proves useful in Legendary missions as well as in the Dark Zone but - if you'd like - you can switch them for some resistances of your choice instead. I feel comfortable like it is!

Skills

▸ Immunizer + Survival Link (PvP) / Recovery Link (PvE) + Zapper

Talents

▸ Critical Save + Strike Back + Fear Tactics + On the Move

Final Verdict

This is unquestionably the Meta build of the game! If you wanna strive and conquer all in The Division, the Striker 6K build is pretty much all you need. However be warn that, in spite powerful, it's also one of the most boring (and tampered) builds of the game. Almost no tactics or strategy come with the use of this build which in itself is fine but ultimately I moved to other builds for a more challenge and fun experience in the game.

Also, if you're really striving for an excellent gear hunt, the 9K Striker will be your main gold. A full review/breakdown of that coming soon...

Thanks for reading and I'll see you next build!
