The Division 1.8.2 - Striker [9K] Classified Build

It was about two months ago,

When started to make my reviews/ breakdowns builds on The Division. I didn't expect much out of it but I felt that there were some builds that were just being kinda neglected on the game and so I was trying to see what's what on the game and what worked best. Time passed and I'm finally at the end of my build journey on the game. Thanks for those who read and hopefully you'll learn or at least enjoy some of my experiences on The Division. And without further ado... The ultimate build!

Intro

MattGoesBuck call's this build "The Beast" and I have to completely agree with this. Yes, this is (mostly) his build but as he focus on Health and Damage to Elites, I've focused on Critical Hit and few other modifications, and even so, it's a damn murder of a build. The 9000 Stamina (9K) Striker Build is without a doubt the main achievement build on The Division at this time. Not only for it's DPS but also for it's survivability!

The Weapons

Showstopper / Talents: Deadly + Unforgiving
▴ Small Grip (CHD, Stability, Optimal Range)

▴ Pro Red Dot Sight (CHC, CHD, Optimal Range)

Lightweight M4 / Talents: Deadly + Unforgiving + Responsive

▴ Loud Vent Break (CHC, CHD, HSD)
▴ Small Grip - Red (CHD, Reload Speed, Optimal Range)
▴ Ext. Mag. (+5,6% RoF, CHC)
▴ 552 Holosight (CHC, CHD, HSD)

Double Barrel Sawed Off / Talents: Sustained (should be Deadly) + Predatory + Determined

If you're going to PvP you can switch one of the weapons for The House (Deadly + Unforgiving). Also, be aware that your main weapon will be the Lightweight M4, The Showstopper is mostly to get your stacks up fast!

My pride and joy on The Division, a fully optimized Striker 9K build!

The Gear

Body Armor
▴ Health + Exotic Damage Resilience + Ammo Capacity

Mask
▴ CHC + 1 Resistance (or Damage to Elites)

Kneepads
▴ CHD + 3 Resistances (or Damage to Elites)

Backpack
▴ CHD + Ammo Capacity

Glove
▴ CHC + CHD + Assault Rifle Damage 

Holster
▴ CHC (or Health)

Gear Mods

▸ 5x (+1% CHC Stamina)

▸ 4x (+5% Support Station Healing Speed)

These are almost the same talents I have on my Nomad. I don't take particular attention to Health, since your Stamina should be already pretty high, so I look for the most Crits as I can. The Support Station speed is needed for legendary NPC's and harder to kill players.

Skills

▸ Immunizer + Recovery Link + Booster Shot (PvE)
▸ Immunizer + Tactical Link + Scrambler (PvP)

Talents

▸ Adrenaline + Critical Save + Strike Back + On the Move (or Precision)

If you're making a PvE activity use the Booster Shot before engaging other targets in proximity, if you're going Dark Zone or PvP, you should switch to Scrambler and Pulse Damage/CHC mods on your build for major DPS.

Final Verdict

If the 6K version is the major build of the game, this one his it's ultimate super. Some say it may be nerfed in the future so (if you don't have it already) and you're looking for the absolute best build in the game... This one's it!

Until next time Agents!
