AlphaBridge Build Guide - Update 1.8.3 NPC Shredder

[@kvrreddy1605]

That six piece AB set gathering dust in my stash is gonna come out now and unleash some terror on the NPCs in the final days of the division. Thanks for the guide. GG.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

You are most welcome kvrreddy1605! :)

[@cbas1083]

Just wanted to say beautiful video and awesome description of the gear sets and also thank u for sounding so clear & organize.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

That's what it's all about Chris and thank you for posting.

[@coolheadedbrit1248]

I run mine with 7.5k FA/5.3k/3k. Sigs last about 4 secs, which is enough for me and means you can proc recovery link more often. I run a CHC/CHD/DtE based build (EAD just on chest) with twin Houses and deadly, responsive, card counter and self-preserved. Self-preserved gives me a strong heal due to the high crits, so i'm doing maybe 120k average crits with precision active pretty much all the time, giving me 32k/s heals whilst shooting versus the 5k/s odd heal from predatory (albeit active after each kill). Build works very well and i've run it through Amherst solo on Legendary although great care is needed due to no automatic recovery link.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Thanks for the comment!

[@matteograz8099]

I was missing your super PvE build guides! Now you give me a reason to play the game also with AB! 👍

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Always glad to help Matteo!

[@eqkedri]

I love your videos bro. I still refer all new players to your D3 for dummies video. I love the way you break everything about the build down. I would love to see a dummies guide build for every set. It is awesome for new and veteran players.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I appreciate the confidence in the D3 video, but that is going to take me a few years of work to produce those types of videos for all the gear sets!!! :O

[@Tuck3tt]

Nice to have you back, Buzz!

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I'm still here, but have been spending my game time over on Twitch streaming The Division.

[@wylander5433]

Not playing TD since month but still watch your vids Buzz just for support. Keep the videos comin.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Will do Wylander and glad to see you are still viewing them! :)

[@bobledger387]

Great vid as usual Buzz

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Thank you Bob!

[@jagger21256]

Great content Buzz, always follow you on twitch.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Thank you very much!

[@DARKHITMAN34]

another great video keep it up Sargent

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Thank you very much Darkhitman34! :)

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

Hey there man. I have been trying out this build. Got a set on my third agent. Couple that with two big Alejendro's and you got a melting machine. For enemies and ammo.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

For sure!

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

It is a fun build and for legendary missions, it is awesome to use. Couple that both of them have the talent Meliticious and you can be lucky to fire again. I just hope you'd do the same for The Division 2.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

What? Make build guides for Div 2? Absolutely!

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

Lt Buzz Litebeer at least, if what I hear is correct, they're going to have similar ways in the Division 2 regarding builds. Not like Alpha Bridge, Striker etc but it should be similar. I suppose we will have to wait till beta comes out.

[@Super4Q]

love your build thanks for the video more builds please thank you

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Will do Super4Q. :)

[@timmigrant6597]

Did you try running commanding on the dual guns? Using a bullfrog with a lightweight M4, the bullfrog inherits a 4th talent.

[@stephenphillips7699]

Weird question, imagine you start a second character and get to level 30, you put on the 6 piece alpha but haven't unlocked the tac link or any of the others, would 6 piece still work?

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I honestly don't know, but my guess is that it would work.

[@goldknightshaka7621]

Do you recommend a hybrid Alpha Bridge, with NinjaBike to get 4 pieces, than have a piece of Striker and/or Nomad? I made one like that and it’s running good, but I feel like my armor is not too strong. I don’t understand how this “100% health regen” works on Alpha.

[@JamesSYoungJr]

Welcome back LT. You have been missed. I was curious about how to really take advantage of the last gearset that remains mysterious in my collection Alpha Bridge. PS! Can you squeeze in a updated 1.8.3 Lonestar build when you get a chance? Through out all my gear sets, it still my favorite go to build.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I have one built and can get you an Update 1.8.3 Lonestar build guide soon. Glad to see you still are checking out my build guides.

[@titojimgwapings1736]

We are stalking you man. Don't you forget that... LOL ^_^

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I can see that! :O

[@xivthroyal2430]

Would commanding on the LWM4 increase the duration of the signature skill (minus recovery link)?

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

No. The way Classy Alpha Bridge works negates the effects of Commanding or Skilled to increase Signature Skill Durations, etc.

[@C-M-E]

I don't remember the last update I played, maybe 1.8 when it was real fresh, but how far back is my gear in comparison to being relevant if I were to jump back into the game?

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Not bad. You might need to farm a bit, but since you played in Update 1.8, you should be used to Classified gear.

[@FunkyDaddyO]

A bit confused, I've followed your build pretty closely but not getting my toughness anywhere near 600K. I can get only 430K at best. I've rolled main stats on items exactly as you have. Short a couple of elec mods but this would result in the disparity I'm seeing. Are you certain there is no health rolled on any of your pieces?

[@EricFischnaller]

FunkyDaddyO there was stamina on two pieces I believe rewatch the video. Knee pads for sure thought on mask too

[@andygoodall9369]

In the top left of the video you can see he was in world tier 2, this explains why you are nowhere near to 600k

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I was on WT2 for the Clear Sky intro footage and forgot to switch back to WT5 for the build breakdown section. For the Lex run, I remembered to switch back to WT5. Sorry for the confusion.

[@Thiesi]

Thanks for this great video. However, one thing I was wondering is how this build holds up against Legendary enemies? Did you try that out?

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

It does fine as long as you are not standing out of cover and taking too much incoming fire.

[@MaverickKM88]

Okay okay but show me how strong the alpha in legendary!!

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I have used it in Legendary Missions as well. It holds up quite well, especially versus the newer Legendary Missions where all the NPCs are Elites.

[@sanlorenzo7896]

I finally got the kneepads after 4 years, and the best part is I have all the right stats. 😂

[@Jayclarkyt]

Playing on a lower world tier for the build video is pretty sad, good build tho.

[@LosSkywolfGTR]

Were you in a different world tier when you filmed the video. I'm nowhere near 600k toughness on mine, even with balanced out main stat numbers.

[@harish.g.l.k]

Yes that's a different tier

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Yes. I recorded the quick intro footage on WT2 and forgot to switch back before doing the breakdown section of the video. For the Lex run, I am back on WT5.

[@chiunah]

Were you on tier 2 before you showed us the gear you were running.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Yes. I needed to grab some quick intro footage and forgot to place myself back into WT5 for the explanation portion of the video. For the Lex run, I am on WT5.

[@Sven_at_okplayer]

This is a good Video. However, in my honest opinion you build a sort of B-Type Striker. Predatory on the gun act like the healing stacks. Mini "Ulties" do the job of the offensive Striker stacks. Running Lexington coultless times myself, I´d say that Alpha is, "at times" fun to play, but I never came into a situation (having Striker or Nomad in my loadout) thinking "Oh, boy , I´d wish I had Alpha equiped."

[@jordanpearsall5515]

How do you have 600k toughness?🤔

[@Daeys2411]

Yeah but my game got a lot of walking in place and weird skill delays..on top of that delta was not far away..what’s going on ? It’s 3 days like this

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I saw a bit of that a few weeks ago and I do not know what caused it.

[@nattok4400]

Can you do a pve striker build?

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I have one on my channel in the build guide section, but it is from a while ago.

[@nattok4400]

@@LtBuzzLitebeer thanks, a build is still a build in my book. Especially a good one

[@lentorres312]

wouldn't the commanding talent work and make the links last longer when they proc

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

No, weapon talents like skilled and commanding will not work with the Alpha Bridge signature skills proc and length.

[@kvrreddy1605]

If commanding worked for AB, then it would have been the meta.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Very true.

[@stoneageproductions4656]

where to farm alpha classified?

[@geokaifrai2572]

Crit damage roll in PVE, and Crit scope but headshot muzzle, weird!

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Not really if you think about the damage categories for The Division. Headshot Damage and Critical Hit Damage are lumped into the same damage category. You could go full into CHD or full into Headshot Damage or a mix of the two. In the end, they really give you the same results as long as the critical hit registers.

[@Smoothgrooves32]

Mines is set up almost same way, i just have little more skill power, 3968, 4510, 6637, i have more utility on my weapon mods, A lot of stability, also on the backpack, still shreds, love your content

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Thank you for the comment Ken!

[@ALLinx87]

How do you get 600 000 health?

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I was on WT2 for the Clear Sky intro footage. Sorry, my bad.

[@ALLinx87]

@@LtBuzzLitebeer we all commit mistakes. You may update xD

[@martynroberts1974]

How u get 600k toughness

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I had dropped myself to WT2 to record the intro footage and forgot to bring myself back to WT5.

[@mao_lang]

How the heck do you have 600k toughness? You didn’t even have health rolled on your gear and have more toughness than I do!

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

At the beginning of the video? That was because I was on World Tier 2 so I could record the intro footage.

[@mao_lang]

Lt Buzz Litebeer aaaaaah, that would make sense. Thank you!

[@jwyeager2261]

I nearly duplicated your build but toughest is only 432,249 no where near you 600K ANy tthoughts why?

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

I forgot that I was on WT2 for the Clear Sky slop footage.

[@jwyeager2261]

did lexington on challenging also and with the exception of getting killed once in the end i did pretty good ..great build...keep them coming. still cant figure out the health though

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

The 600K toughness was my mistake because I had forgotten that I had dropped myself down into World Tier 2. However, for the Lexington run, I remembered and adjusted myself back up to World Tier 5.

[@shooom958]

Useless gearset in a group. Fun to mess with solo but that's it.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

As I said in the video Jon. This is 100% tailored for the solo player.

[@shooom958]

@@LtBuzzLitebeer sorry comment wasn't aimed at you, just a rant out loud because I miss the old alpha bridge. I wish the alt would buff the whole team in pve.

[@LtBuzzLitebeer]

Not a problem. I loved the older A.B. version with the weapon talents unlocking!

[@yoselynhernandez8853]

Lt Buzz, did you know that in October 2020 there is a hacker in division 1 who is dirtying your name with cheats. A disgusting gamer.

No, haven't heard anything about it.
