Maniac Diamondback Build for Year 6 in The Division 2

[@SoakDisko]

Do you have a Diamondback yet? DPS Discord to talk to me about whatever: discord.gg/2sE64Rdm2H Follow me on Twitch @ www.twitch.tv/soak_mfn_disko

[@82JettaDiesel]

Soak, thanks so much. Nearly gave up on DPS builds. Used the Diamondback a lot when I first played and was thrilled to put together the build you showed. It actually takes a little bit of strategy when playing but it’s a lot of fun.

[@chavezychavez69]

An absolute insane build. Finally a rifle build I can use.

[@_Razoray16]

this is the same dps build as we played 4 years ago

[@SoakDisko]

yea, its the same game we played 4 yrs ago too 😂

[@mattipanduro8583]

Looks fun and gonna try it out... It does look very underwhelming in comparison to Determined builds though, we can onetap and still have 1.8m armor and Bloodsucker... Not shitting on your build, more the way Massive made the rifle category underwhelming.

[@loadedporkchop2967]

Did they remove the option to create a hardcore character? I went to make a fourth one (to see if anything changed) and don't see the option anymore.

[@exablack]

I love trying to use my old good 1886 and Diamondback, but It underperform a lot with the low-performing Core attribute... is sad comparing against the overtunned MMR core attribute bump of Headshot dmg.... the Cirt Dmg on rifles should be something between 20% to 30%, to perfom against the MMR (500% overtunned against other weapons core attributes) or Assault rifle RPMs.

[@SoakDisko]

Have you tried the DB on a build with max crit? Its amazing. But go all in with reds 👍🏽

[@grumpyoldman6503]

probably more like 50-60% CHD on rifles, but you aren't wrong. MMRs got changed when HSD got lumped with CHD and Rifles didn't get updated. 17%CHD is super pathetic unfortunately. It's also why Breaking Point should buff crits, and not HSD.

[@SCarter02767]

I've been using 1886 with determined obviously. Just started using police/military mk17. So stable and easy to use, even up close it's great

[@mattipanduro8583]

1886 with Determined and Hunters Fury/Memento combo is beast!

[@grumpyoldman6503]

love the Mk17 and sig716. Shoot so nice, especially with stability mods (mag size is big enough to not need the 20 rounds). UIC is actually not bad but the RPM is a bit slow IMO. Lightweight M4 is my favorite shooter in the higher RPM category (but I still don't use it even after the buff). 320RPM (so M1aCQB and sig) are about perfect for me in terms of being able to spam, but sig can do that and put rounds on target. Dr Home is pretty great too actually, I wish the HS trigger stayed, it was fine if they had put in a short 2-3sec CD on the AoK trigger.

[@marceyraud2815]

Good morning good tutorial. how to get the blue band that you see on your life line?

[@SoakDisko]

thats the talent bloodsucker on a backpack :)

[@kainmarco4323]

might pick up the bakers dozen again

[@grimreaper6112]

I think the snake will be good i remember getting it at Kenerly College thats going back a while.

[@radiatedkarma6874]

So lucky to have this gun on my hard core guy love it

[@Bishop_CSB]

Hey soap, do rifles builds work for AR too?

[@SoakDisko]

As a secondary on the build yrs.

[@Bishop_CSB]

@@SoakDisko thanks dude!

[@TwoFaced200]

the new high end set gives ravenous 70 rounds

[@olvgbg1340]

So same build as year 1? Is that your build?

[@SoakDisko]

that was before the update and new gear we just got yesterday. as mentioned in the video

[@lvl_hed1381]

Thanks for the video Soak

[@grumpyoldman6503]

is this a build about diamondback, or complaining about Determined?

[@ianmcdonald3053]

Any of those one shot sniper builds join me when im doing Control Points etc i boot them right away.

And that is why u don’t have friends lol

[@MILSPECMOM]

Never liked the DB nor rifles as a whole as they've been limp noodles for the most part (broken Determined not withstanding) not too mention I prefer speed and face tanking. Totally agreed with builds. Pick a style that works and have at it. Can't stand the elitism in this game sometimes. Bunch of pre pubescent soy boys or worse yet old neck beards that need to touch grass. Now if they can fix the cheating that would be great. lol o7

[@grumpyoldman6503]

We had a chance with Breaking Point, but the devs didn't listent to feedback (beyond increase the multiplier, which wasn't the main issue with the 4p). I love rifles, but they play second fiddle to every other gun class, including MMRs with the introduction of determined. SVD does everything any rifle can do and then some. Only thing it's lacking is base ammunition capacity and there are any number of ways around that.

[@PHREEEEZY21]

Bro you use exploit one shots in raids and don’t like determined that funny

[@SoakDisko]

The swapping from busy bee to regulous isnt an exploit, the 10 seconds starts with any weapon you switch to. You bump ur head or something? 😂

[@grumpyoldman6503]

also shits on 1 tapping things, but then proceeds to demo the diamondback... 1 tapping things.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

@@SoakDisko neither is comboing determined and headhunter. 🙄 I agree it's a bit on the cheese side and not necessarily fun to play with in a group, but it fixes a lot of the flaws with sniping in div2 such that sniping is 1000% less frustrating (and relevant instead of a hyper niche).

[@SoakDisko]

@@grumpyoldman6503 if you hit the first target the DB line goes to, it gives 20% amplified and guaranteed crit. Thats usually the only NPC you generally 1 tap, the rest are usually 2-3 shots. Big difference between that, and using determined where after a HSK, you just nail everything lol.

[@SoakDisko]

@@grumpyoldman6503 My point is determined HH has nothing to do with "sniping" its basically a hack to hit everything for 30 mil

[@martincole106]

Running determined makes killing more realistic for me, particularly as I'm not a very accurate shooter and often miss shots....good vid. ...cheers...subbed.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

it does feel more like what a DMR would be and do, once you get the ball rolling. I want a rifle to 1-2 tap, 3 at the outset for it to feel OK to play with. I wish the 1886 had a tactical scope attachment, that would make the diamondback feel exotic! Give it a 3.4x scope.
