I’m convinced that Umbra Initiative is the gear set the hunters use based on how they move

[@yanke3564]

Imagine fighting against enemies that have gear set talents aswell

[@andrewgonzalez8744]

They do! 😂😢

[@BlackPaulPhoenix]

They really need a hunter specialization . That would be sick

[@crisschan2463]

backfire is also good with this set, you can have a whopping 300% chd and even without bleed resist, the heal will cover the bleed damage

[@mrpearson1230]

Thank you for making this vid! Very straightforward and you explained everything perfectly!!!

[@trick7039]

Another interesting and fun one I've even brought to legendary missions is using Coyotes Mask and the Devil's Due with Perfect Clutch as the backpack. Because your RPM is so high and your crit hit chance is maxed, now you can run basically any gun in the game to capitalize on those crits. That means the instant you get a kill, all crits are now healing you on top of the 40% armor regen every time you get in cover. I've been using the GR9 with a max mag size attribute and the gunner spec so I can have a 275-round mag with Frenzy. When you pop out of cover that 750RPM turns into 1582RPM and you suddenly do 81% more damage and 100% more crit damage... The burst damage is unreal. And because you're firing so fast, so long as you got a kill previously, you also heal to full almost instantly from Perfect Clutch even if you were almost dead. Throw on the Busy Little Bee and a Dark Winter as your secondary, oh lawd. I also ran around the DZ yesterday killing entire squads of man hunts with the Eaglebearer and I swapped the backpack out for a Grupo backpack with Bloodsucker. Target the mobs to get your armor up and trigger Tenacity, become invincible for 15 seconds and face tank a squad with an Eaglebearer at 975RPM. They get mad they can't kill you and stop trying to do the manhunt lol

[@nikohekard1581]

Nice breakdown! I run my Umbra build vanilla, i.e., four piece with chest and bp + Ceska + Grupo holster/knees combo. Even slow firing weapons that hit decently hard wreck NPCs. I do also like what they did with Ongoing Directive.

[@nolaughingmatter4373]

This is the most diverse gear set in the game. I can’t congratulate the team enough on the creation of the this gear. One thing a friend shows me is that the vector fired too fast with this set. As in the game wasn’t registering the hits because the of the ridiculous rpm

[@sjafi]

Works really well with backfire if you can stand the red screen(or run ninja kneepads) Even without ninjas, you take no damage in cover when reloading, and have that spicy 200% crit bonus

Just came back to division after 2 years and your vid’s are a god send. Great stuff. Just hit 40, working on an umbra set. I got all the pieces, now trying to farm Coyote with no luck. I have some questions. Can I hit you up on discord? Thanks for the content!

[@JS-jy6yq]

My favourite mix so far is Eagle Bearer and a Vector with Unwavering, it's a ton of fun to use! Just proc the EB Tenacity out of cover and go ham, if you fail and take too much damage you can just jump back into cover and be completely safe once the regen kicks in. The Vector with Unwavering is a really neat backup, it can dump a ton of dmg so fast and reload 3 mags in the blink of an eye before you lose the Weapon Handling buff, which is plenty to kill most Elites (bar chungas and LMGers). I mixed in the Catharsis and one extra blue core, makes you almost unkillable if you play it smart.

[@mauricemorrison428]

Unwavering is a beast, try adding a variant with Versatile and use the Rock N Roll or Lefty. If you're feeling frisky, try a sokolov bp with Versatile and a chest with gun slinger. Oh weee in the 5 seconds everything is catching hell.
