Striker's Build Compendium | Division 2

[@jeromeacosta1881]

I have to say fairly new player here and I love that you put them up on the screen the builds instead of just showing us your inventory it helps us newer players out way more! Thank you for that!

[@Hulk_smash-xg8wv]

So glad your back mate!! You are the best! I hope you’re feeling better!!

[@julyshadowtunes1]

Great Breakdown, I will share with my clan.

[@martinmiller3765]

I almost never play Striker, but i did enjoy a yellow setup with Shield+Striker Drone. You can build for the drone with Force Multiplier+Hana, Memento+Wyvern or buff weapon damage with Ceska, Grupo, Coyote...or mix them however you like, but do try to get a good 50-ish crit chance. In any case, Obliterate or Spark for chest, and Capacitor (or Test Subject) for weapon. The T6 Shield and distracting drone provides high survivability while Striker and the drone will quickly eliminate enemies. Heroic, 5 directive certified build!

Hey man thanks for grinding content while your hip grinds its socket!

[@DJSammy69.]

Killer Intro! Liking this whispering style of vids. Night recordings need to be careful.

[@DodRegnbue]

This was recorded at 3 am. Not so much whispering more very tired and not wanting to wake the wife up as she punches really hard. . . . .

[@wezbaylis9533]

Only being playing a week or two, lvl 40 62 lvl watch, got the coyote mask last night but seeing this I’m going back to how I had it. Was running high end back and holster but will swap out all for chest when I get a good one. Thanks for the tips it’s very helpful

[@jameyvanderpool9392]

Awesome video. I'm going to try a few of these striker combos. I had been running 4 piece strikers, deathgrip gloves and palisade obliterate chest with gunner class for 30% AOK and ot has worked good for me. I also have been messing around with 4 piece striker, closer chest and centurions scabbard holster. I am running technician class and Lexington and acs with flatline for the damage and easy of not losing damage when weapon swapping to utilize holster.

[@chrisvda88]

I’ve tried the striker + vigilance ceska backpack & Grupo chest glass cannon and it absolutely shreds, getting more dps than the previous backpack striker meta. Before I was going about 1.2m with AR now 1.5m.

[@xi-deadshot-ix5838]

Yeah I’m not seeing that at all in my testing with both builds and same crit stats between them. Using grupo Gc/ceska vig or grupo/ceska knee/holster. I’m seeing +31k per crit with vig at full chest stacks and with Gc/vig it’s -122k per crit. Both builds at 57%/157%. Only reason to choose Gc/vig is if you can’t get or maintain striker chest stacks. Basically heroic and below. I’ve soloed legendary DUA, Capitol, & Roosevelt with striker chest/bp. It’s a lot more difficult with Gc/vig lmao. That said, I love that more ppl are liking Gc now. Ppl used to hate on it bc they couldn’t use it. Nice to see it’s making a comeback.

[@chrisvda88]

@@xi-deadshot-ix5838​​⁠well I don’t solo legendary except summit the odd time. You do have to be a bit more on your toes with GC, staying back, popping in out of cover but I’m finding I’m clearing content quicker, yea I die more but you get better with time. I can’t speak to your experience but I think the synergy with GC and vigilance is peak with striker and I’m also not losing vigilance often from seemingly incoming damage, which I was afraid of. I still think the previous striker backpack metas are DEFINITELY viable in Legendary.

[@Khannah69]

Speaking of Solo Ninjabike Striker, I'm torn between: Providence & Walker + Preservation & Obliterate (+10% aok from gunner) vs Belstone & Uzina + Flatline & Obliterate (or Closer named Uzina chest). I'm not sure if sacrificing 5% CHC for Flatline is really worth it.

[@theqeffect37]

For the build with Yaahl, isnt it better to go for Yaahl named mask Hollow man and replace holster with striker ? Greater benefit overall.

[@DodRegnbue]

No. You lose a crit roll and typically you run AR which has 21% DTH anyway.

[@theqeffect37]

@DodRegnbue That makes sense. Would it benefit running Pesti with striker or is the build shown is still better overall?

[@damondewitt1547]

How would you build Strikers around pestilence and the plague of the Outkast

[@DodRegnbue]

Sacrifice and the Gift . . .

[@mrhouse5133]

Cool video, nice presentation style. Whilst I do have a load out saved with triple red palisade gloves and an obliterate ceska. My personal favourite way to run Strikers for the open world is very basic. Coyotes mask, ceska chest with obliterate and then four piece including backpack. Been using the Lexington with killer and 70% stability and my numbers are 122k damage with 54% chance and 115% crit dmg(base). Whilst a named target at the shooting range isn’t the most accurate test, DPS consistently lands between 11.7-13.2 mill. One thing I’ll say is, division 2 has great build variety but really shit build viability, I hate that I always come back to incorporating strikers somehow!

[@leftlanehiphop6259]

I like to run the memento build...only thing is that its not regening with the no regen directive build on. But i run it as a three teir shield.

[@KugaYuma09]

Is Strikers with Pristine Example bad now or too niche?

[@xi-deadshot-ix5838]

Still viable, just not as good as before they patched shield peeking 👀

[@tyranttype1984]

Here's an idea. I've always wanted to slap a low lvl rock n roll on a striker build, that way you could have all 200 stacks on chungas or most enemies without killing them. The gun would only work for the stacking mechanic so maybe use another shotgun with sledgehammer instead of the rock-'n'-roll. It's just a suggestion 😊 Love the content bro!

[@DodRegnbue]

Seems odd to me that you would do this. Shotguns have really high DPS. So you are going to run up to an add, with a shotgun, stack on them. Swap weapon, then kill them. When you can run up to an add with a shotgun, stack and kill them.

[@EPOCCH]

Damn, I thought I was special running Ninjabike with 2 Brazos lol. I find the extra mag size to be especially helpful with Vectors, including the Chameleon (you can get the weapon damage bonus in 1 mag).

[@KevinSmith-oi7jk]

3:05 l run an all red Golan chest with Obliterate, getting 1.5% armour regen, and all red Belstone gloves for another 1% plus status effects abd AOK. Only have an armour core on ninja, but it refills fast

[@littlebigt0e]

Hallow man mask is great with 14% damage to health. Soooooo underrated.

[@DrBubsy]

I've been running the 4 piece Striker with Sacrifice chest and Ceska bag for the crit with Unstoppable force while gunning with the Pesti. Ticks keep Unstoppable force fully stacked anytime there are enemies around. Well over 1M headshots & ticks from 900K-1.1Mill. Ridiculous that they nerfed Striker's and in less than a month our community came together and found a way to make it even stronger than pre-nerf LOL

How about full yellow builds (with the ocasional Memento insert) ... are they still viable, worth? And if so, what would you recommend?

[@DodRegnbue]

Skill builds are mostly dead after the TU22 update. The Devs killed them.

[@VykeKingPigeon]

Comment for the Algorithm

[@scooternut7198]

any other Striker weapon combos going to get this treatment Dark winter, Apartment ??, new player faves such as the bulletking ! , could be a good series im sure lots of players like different options and seeing improvement to builds along the way even if just farming to get Meta/Bis set up or just want to grind expertise on items instead of wasting resources you look quite Sith like hooded in the dark "Darth Regnbue"

[@TheSelinski]

Question: Is Focus chesttalent never used anymore for maximum dps? Or is Glass Cannon, the new "Focus" so to say?

[@DodRegnbue]

It is still technically the best chest in the game. People just do not like the play style

[@TheSelinski]

@DodRegnbue Alright, thank you very much!

[@Juicexlx]

This is very helpful. Thank you. Hey, my stash is always full especially full of weapons, can you help ''pimp my stash''? I need to get rid of the absolute junk that no one use and aren't even worth mastering, so I can run Countdown, pick everything up and give everything to the lady to level-up faster on weapons & gears that are actually worth the mastery/investing in.

[@sinner2133]

I think bro likes Strikers

[@DodRegnbue]

A little bit. This will be the last on on Strikers though unless something new and crazy is found or they change something else on it.

[@sinner2133]

@@DodRegnbue in all seriousness, this felt like a really, really good guide to build choice for newcomers. This wasn’t a cheesy build video to get a bunch of easy views. I’m not the target audience for beginners striker build, but I still had quite a bit to extrapolate. I might try some of these variations out. Thank you!

[@joelchoquet5183]

What about 3 striker 2 lengmo and ninja backpack with pestilence

[@cra1gt]

2 piece brazos with ninja slaps on dps builds slaps🎉 try it with, strikes,umbra, even heartbreaker good for pvp to... iykyk

[@sykoskid]

theirs other builds out there with better burst damage than striker, striker is not for everybody, i use providence with perfect glass cannon, and perfect vigilance with extra 25% perfect burst damage.

[@tyranttype1984]

Nice!

[@nicholasnovent2293]

im using the grupo with GC and ceska with UF imma try with vigilance tomorrow

[@simontaylor9362]

Strikers eay!! Not seen this in a while 😅😅

[@DodRegnbue]

Hopefully this will be last one for a while.

[@TheDarkMEXiCaN2020]

is this the case for incursion as well?

[@MAZEY22]

Why do you not run foxes on strikers?

[@DodRegnbue]

Why would you????

[@Revellation]

When are fox's and contractor's preferred? I have them on a high end AR build but I wouldn't be surprised if I got more damage switching them out to stack crit damage.

[@MAZEY22]

The 8% dtoc. Is it not worth it? Genuine question.

[@awelon29]

@@Revellation Based on this video my bet would be if you use both chest and backpack on Strikers. Reason? If you don't use the chest you need Ceska Obliterate for DPS. You also not using the backpack? You're better off with a backpack damage talent than 8% Dtoc as you already have 10% Dtoc on your weapon, so it's not gonna give you 8% more DPS. Back when the Incursion dropped I remember the best damage build for it was chest and backpack with Coyote's and Contractor's, because 6% Dta + 10% Dtoc was slightly better than 18% Dtoc. I wouldn't be surprised tho if running the backpack is not best in slot anymore if you run the chest.

[@DodRegnbue]

@@MAZEY22 On something like Strikers, no. Sadly.

Do heartbreaker next

[@DodRegnbue]

There are like 4 build. I mean I can. But with Heartbreaker in it's current state, it is just not good.

[@mrteefoursix3440]

I run 4 piece Striker with Memento and Grupo/ Obliterate. 2 Blue and 5 Red due to Memento. Technician specialisation. But also Tier 4 shield. I have 3 Top 100 Legendary solo times with it on Xbox. Works very good for me, especially with the Tier 4 shield. And I run Elmo because of the Mag size and the shock ammo. Fits my style very good.

[@DodRegnbue]

Swap to Ceska more Damage.

[@mrteefoursix3440]

@@DodRegnbue Still have to farm one. Will try today

[@KasperG87]

like 300

[@rumpeltv1080]

Momento really needs a buff so that one trophy adds like 3 or even 5 stacks, else it falls behind many other setups.

[@DodRegnbue]

Memento has never really been good. It is helpful for new players to learn the ropes, but in general, it has never competed.

[@soyasaucer]

this was basically a Ted Talk.

[@LeNeonyi]

thank you for coming to my (dod's) striker tedtalk.

[@coqpit69]

What i'm noticing now, not even with this video alone, but in general, a whole lot of people are now actually experimenting with Ninjabike BP. Back in the elden days you'd see Ninjabike slapped on those "OMG SOLO LEGENDARY DESTROYER ANAL PROLAPSE BUILD TOP DPS MUST BUILD NOW MY WIFE LEFT ME AND TOOK THE KIDS" kinds ov YT builds. It's nice to see that a whole lot more things are coming to spotlight.
