The Division | Patch 1.8 Best in Slot Gear Guide | How to Build In 1.8

While Patch 1.8 has by far the most build diversity that we have ever had in The Division, there are still a lot of ways to mess up your build entirely. This video is supposed to give you the guidelines you might need of what works and what doesn’t work and which stats are generally the best to take on what gear.

Your videos just keep getting better! The visuals on screen really help simplify the details that can easily become complex. Easy to follow and incredibly helpful. Great job again sir!

[@Bl00dAndThunder]

What a brilliant how-to video. Exactly what I needed after coming back to 1.8 from 1.7. Thank you!

[@cbcothren]

thanks for this guide! as a casual/noob this helps tremendously! i love the way you explain the why to everything and how it all works together.

[@toddlofts9310]

Thank you Marco for putting this video together. It really helps me understand on how to better improve my gear with the way you break it all down. Keep putting out those videos and much love for your channel!

[@oscarmike90]

Amazing guide! Informative and simple pictures, nice animations. Pro content)

[@1ricekake]

Marco, thank you!! I can’t even imagine the amount of work and time invested again to help the whole community with being better at this game!!

[@PippeBR]

Just started playing and this blew my mind.. Now I know what to do in the game.. Big thanks mate. Keep up the work. The pictures are time saving too.. Greatly appreciate them

[@greyman8448]

Legendary as always dude. Informative, explained in layman's terms and all avenues (or sides) explored without prejudice. Keep up the amazing work. You are the go to KZbinr for Division.

[@vinczeszilard5155]

The editing in the video was beautiful, the content was on point too. Recently started playing Division, atm at 280 gearscore with Underdog weapon. Very informative and easy to understand, thanks man.

[@SkyCool102]

Thanks for the downloadable pictures helped a lot when doing the builds as watching a video and configuring at the same time is not easy.

[@jedirevolution5886]

Thank you for also adding the pics. That is REALLY helpful!

[@sirtreebeard8106]

Was a console player and just got division on PC so I super appreciate your videos, so helpful. I really appreciate you attaching the images as well.

[@alandoran5428]

Thank you again for an excellent video...... after collecting Classified Gear, your timing with this video is great. Being over 60yrs I definitely find an detailed breakdown by Gear Set so helpful. As they say here in Scotland “ All The Best” for a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@DingbatToast]

Dude, the effort you put into your videos is amazing. I'm nowhere near this level yet as I only started playing last week, but it's helped me understand how the Division build system works and how the stats can stack. Cheers!

[@someaussiekidd]

this is one of the most well edited, designed and thought out gaming videos i have ever seen, there's videos explaining scientific concepts that pale in comparison to this, well done man, would have taken ages, the maths and the editing! Amazing!

[@lizardmilk7763]

Dude, new player here and these videos are nothing short of amazing, informative and well put together! Thanks for taking the time!

[@BluesHound100]

Absolutely brilliant content Marco. I am returning player and once again your videos and info are invaluable. Then adding the images for download is the cherry on the cake! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@iStayReddy]

Superb guide. Just getting back into the game (haven’t played since 1.3) and this is a great place to start. Thanks dude

[@mikejleigh]

Superb as always Marco, love you explain how you come to your conclusions, really helps understand the game a lot more. Really would like a PVE version as well

[@Glass_Can_Man]

Mike Leigh just rewatch he basically did. It's a lot easier to build for pve than pvp

[@juzeoo1617]

Put enemy armor damage on everything, use destructive + ferocious on a assult rifle, get purple gear mods with damage to elites and that your pve build.

[@chrisfps7]

I agree on having a PvE version as well. For most of the stat rolls, taking +DTE or +EAD over certain things is mostly a no-brainer, but where to fit in +EAD on the gloves when you've got +weapon dmg, +crit chance, AND +crit dmg.. that's where I struggle what to roll.

[@patriley936]

yeah its lose to the same but you want EAD and Damage to Elites in a few spots instead of maybe health. I stack a lot of health on kill for PvE too. I'm sure he'll do one though

[@demo715]

yes a best in slot pve vid would be grear

[@TehOak]

Thank you, dude. Just got back into The Division after a long break and this helped immensely.

[@zakkdiego]

now i fell complete for this patch thank you marco!!! still the best source of knowledge of the division

[@engage3085]

Great vid marco! I left right after 1.6 and am just coming back to the game so seeing an overview is very helpful. Thanks!

[@DemonKez]

i use to watch your videos back when the game released. its nice to see how far your videos have come from back then :) there so in depth

[@codanh1]

I can see so much effort in making this video, really appreciated mate.

[@MrVikingmead]

Thanks for all the informative, detailed and easy to follow videos!

[@guapscotch9029]

Solid informative video marco, I've been following your work for a while and am still glad you have faith in the game as many content creators have abandoned it. I can't really be too bothered to keep switching up builds though, I'll probably just end up keeping my striker 1.7 build and see how that fares. Thanks for all of your work anyway.

[@johnnydeal3961]

Thank you sir for putting this video together. I needed this.

[@JEDiJAWA360]

very nice vid, coming back to the division in over 1.5 years, this helped a lot

[@1557Reckless]

This is why I come here for BiS guides. Marco's videos are clean, well explained, and the images he shows along with the actual numbers crunched really helps when looking at some of the miss-leading intricacies in stats and talents. I can't take other streamers seriously when they have a mess of gear items flashing through their inventory on screen and saying "Use this because it works like this and I don't die - or I kill everyone''

[@suftar]

Thanks Marco, been waiting for this as I'm totally confused with the 10 classified sets I've got...top man.

[@RudeGoose]

Literally paused the video at each of the end result pics, screen shot them, and saved them to a folder. Got to the end of the video and saw that there is a download available for that specifically.... Thank you Marco, you are awesome! (Of course I mean that both honestly and sarcastically)

[@gabfek9263]

Amazing and greatly detailed info. Thanks Marco. You are great! (and you did not complained about the PM this time :) )

[@richardshepherd42]

Great vid, need to change my nomad build,thanks for putting in the time for all your videos, so much good advice and help in these tutorials you, top man

[@merkeva1841]

thank you for making this i am a returning player and there is soo much new stuff i was really confused this is very well made and informative thanks again

[@lukebellamy87]

Well done dude, making it simple for others who don’t understand how to build even after near on 2 years of release. A buddy of mine is strictly pve, I did all his builds yesterday, he actually quoted ‘pvp guys know how to build and understand diversity better than us pve guys’, I believe you hit the same nail on top of the head at the start of the video. Keep up the good work bud

[@jasonwallace440]

Awesome guide, I'll be building my banshee build with your guide. Thanks

[@ManWeeZ1]

I know 1.8 has a lot to offer but a guide like this has me excited to play again. You are THE Division god, thanks Marco.

[@mreastbeast9]

Thank you Marco!

[@ConsagraditoGames]

Thanks for your video mate! It helped me a lot to understand how to use my gear. Now, I know from where I should start :D

[@jacobjohnson7299]

Thank you so much Marco! I’m returning and was completely confused and your videos are so helpful. You’re and amazing youtuber

[@cjpsmachado]

As usual perfect explanation . Thanks for all your work & congratulations

[@Jowcke]

Great video with well put togeather information. Actually one of the easiest guiides to "understand" because of the different and uniqe gear set specialities!

[@paulusx7711]

Very well summarized - thumbs up, Marco!

[@Art_foryou432]

Thanks for your time putting all these videos together, and doing all the math to calculate the best gears and weapon. There are people like me that take advantage of your time and knowledge and the ability to put everything together (Video, Calculus, Pictures, Drawing, and TIME) but there are always people that are not happy with ANYTHING. If it works for you NICE, if not then try others combination and all depend on the Style that you play, but don't come and say that MarcoStyle videos are not good! THEY ARE AWESOME! thank you, Marco!

[@OnionRingsGaming]

Glad I watched this, I did not know all resistance was only for elements, I figured it worked for bullets too.

[@sampletone320]

thanks marco! had my builds built pretty well to my relief. =) your guide here helped me optimised it! without any d techs! ;) appreciate your vids!

[@selthafour6948]

I was just thinking now i gotta go back n screenshot all that bcuz i wont remember it all. AND THEN U DID THE RECAP THING. Subbing. Ur heccin awesome

[@MrKirillian]

Incredible video Marco. Thank you for all your help.

[@CallMeDaddyBud]

I really hope your channel never dies. I also got the platinum trophy in 4 days!

[@rosewarrior708]

By far this is the most helpful video I’ve seen as a new player to this game. I would give you infinite thumbs up if I could.

[@Chris-sn8xm]

As a returning player that left in 1.6 this video was EPIC. Thanks Marco!

[@adrianjacobs5444]

Not played the division since 1.4 back again. Still the best division video's on KZbin. I hope they are using you as a consultant on the second game!

[@potat-z1c]

Thanks Man, I follow your Guides since I play/ed Division. Keep up your good work.Greetings from Germany.

[@hazembayado9521]

I used to play The Division more than a year ago, thinking of going back with this new 1.8 patch, but that's not what I am here for. I am here to commend you Marco on a SUPERB video! The explanations are spot on, the editing is superior, the flash-card-like screens are extremely awesome and extremely useful, you have an excellent taste for neatness and art and overall a highly developed sense of superb media creation. If this sounds that I am fanboying over your video, I am lol. This level of quality and attention to detail is extremely rare in the gaming youtuber community and I wish some of them would go to the MarcoStyle academy to learn how to make better gaming guides videos on KZbin. Thank you Sir!

[@benbettin4506]

This really helped yet another returning player. Thanks!

[@rzgaming4989]

Back to the drawing board for me. Thanks for the incredible video

[@keaganhainsworth1245]

[@Skylinedays]

Bruh i have damage to elites and kill xp on all of my Alphabridge gear set. And hello from 2021

[@jamesheller4066]

Marco nails it again - seriously impressive work

[@xel_0073]

Dude!!! Thank you sooo much!!! I just picked up the game (I know I’m super late to it) and this video helped so much. I’m falling in love with the division it’s very meticulous. What other video do you recommend? Thank you again for explaining builds.

[@rookdw4749]

Appreciate all you do! Videos are great and super helpful. Best in the business!

[@Sm1thy]

[@Erocks301]

Yo thank you. I can see you put a lot of work in this video. It helped me a lot.

[@kdc4462]

Dude you are the best! Your Video Quality and Content is insane !!! Thanks a lot Marco :)

[@juancruzgoni1]

As a new player I felt overwhelmed by the amount of stats and numbers in this game. But, this guide really cleared up most of my questions. Now I know how to build myself, instead of just looking for builds online without knowing wtf people were talking about. Cheers dude! Subbed

[@arrosconpollo1]

Your content is well thought out and informative👍🏼 thank you

[@trukmush6311]

Thank you Marco ! Another well explained video once again ! :)

[@fbinet21]

[@vulpiiiiiiix]

Awesome video once again Marco, nice in depth job as usual. Prettige feestdagen alvast ^-^

[@gogopossum]

Outstanding video Marco, helping me to dive back in! I’d be scared to know how long it took to produce this video! Very helpful graphics, thank you!

[@Heurecka]

thanks dude got back to the game after a loooong time and wasnt sure if i should go for stats or for a complete set and i was still running around with the high armor set lol

[@Captain-Jinn]

Can't wait for the Weapon Mods Guide (although I assume it's just gonna be CHC/CHD muzzle/optic, Reload Speed under barrel, and Magazine Size mag)

[@jhizon3103]

A really helpful guide! Thanks Marco!

[@mjc1019]

Always awesome content sir. Thanks a lot!

[@broncosfan07]

Nice Vid!!! You helped me a lot !!! Keep up the good work 💪💪

[@krazykaz1983OG]

Nice video, great guidelines. Look forward to analysis for the outliers. EDR focused Final Measure build? Nomad healer? Hope they start normalizing to 1401 so we can have effective Last Stand/Skirmish Classified sets!

[@terencebowlen1450]

Well done man, seriously helped me decide what to look for end game, great descriptions, good logic .. got a sub from me, keep up the great work

[@m0neyp0lice]

Still waiting for that

[@TheJudg3d]

Great video! Thanks for doing this!

[@biglion6229]

Thanks for vid this game has a lot of statistics and technically to learn but this vid helps understand things more

[@LSDonnieWhee]

Marco I just wanted to say Thanks for playing and giving the Division love, let's be honest most people just hate this game for no reason. Keep up the great work and Thanks for a day one player, been with for the ups and downs with this game but I feel good where we are at now.

[@danielcrespo9445]

I'm a casual player and love the game. I know it hasn't been the most appreciated of games compared to the countless games out there. This patch has been nothing short than amazing. MS has done some really nice things with the content he's shared. This is what makes this game/community so cool. I for one am glad for 1.8 and the sudden appreciation that's come along with it. Subscribed earned!

[@manraiderofficial]

Even though it's 4 years old now for this video, it still might help some people!

[@kphan4643]

Great job on all your vids. I've been posting these vids on a discord channel of a small streamer I play with. These are so helpful for us. Please keep them coming!! U got a new sub from me!!!

[@LOG1X_]

I've been playing Divison since Day one and I still watch videos like this

[@JarrettWBass]

Very informative Ive only been getting Nomad classified gear now I dont feel so bad building on it for the freedom of it.

[@matmachina]

...Thank you! I cant't say anything else but this. You sir, are awesome!

[@BDMotorsport]

Phenomenal level of detail and information 👌

[@laszlohodosy2490]

Merry Xmas, man :) Thank's for your quality vids!

[@obadiah7771]

Thanks so much for this guide, I picked up banshee and predator for the Dz. although I am mostly the healer but it would be nice to switch it up a bit!
