Oops, I Broke The Merciless Rifle with This Build in The Division 2

[@TuxedoBandido]

What rifle do you think is improved the most with the new gear?

[@YardratZ]

Whichever one shoots like and AR and hits like an M1A 😊

[@elitedarktemplar5969]

^ This build. TAB = Zoom, ` = Fire

[@iambecomedeafdestroyerofwords]

Dr Home is even more of a gem now

[@xanderx51]

​@@iambecomedeafdestroyerofwordsit's not bad but is still a situational weapon.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

@@iambecomedeafdestroyerofwords it's a good weapon, always was. you just have to like the 8x scope and focus. I wish it got the HS AoK trigger back with a CD however. Devs made it really good for a hot minute there until they tripped on their feet reverting it.

[@shanky.y]

I'll give it a try, problem is idk if I have space for new builds, it's crazy that they keep adding more stuff but they not give us more storage.

[@vaulthecreator]

Extra mule slot coming in a few months 😉

[@sycopupy]

I did my merciless build with the Eagle Grasp gloves with a Zwaidoka chest with glass cannon and finished it off with 3 umbra and the ninja bike backpack. What I lose in damage talent on the backpack, I make up for with the increase fire rate and healing from the umbra 4 piece talents. The 3 piece Zwaidoska also makes the merciless a laser beam. No recoil at all.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

The only thing I don't like about umbra is having to dip into cover to rebuild the stacks but it's a good fit 100% agree. Another person posted a similar idea but 3 striker with 2 zoo and nbb and glass cannon. Less crit focused but just more amped damage. Umbra with chest side steps glass cannon downside and should give more output.

[@michaelwynn6766]

Fox Prayer knees, Zoo gloves for 15% wpn handling, Zoo holster, Overlord chest with Spotter, Walker Harris mask (which will be replaced with the new named mask that will have 50% optimal range) and Czeska backpack with Companion. Sharpshooter specialization for additional wpn handling and the Tactician drone which will activate the spotter talent.

[@YoBoiKaiyo]

Does the build patched? Or still working?

"Worst exotic" Oh come now. We don't talk about Sacrum Imperium, but that one is truly useless. Now you know that it's not trash, you just gotta meet it where it is and work with it.

[@theVlKlNGR]

See? We even have one more useless exo. An exo whitch got allready forgotten and deserves the throne: Mosquito

[@johnharrisonschulz]

​@@theVlKlNGR, "The mosquito" What were they smoking when they came up with this gun?

@@theVlKlNGRdon’t the devs think that trash is the most used weapon 😂

[@grumpyoldman6503]

@@100StepProgram 🙄🤣 Silly devs.

[@RobPento]

@N0stalgicLeaf The Schweaty Sac-rumimperium (aka Jock Itch) is the worst. Totally. The Mosquito is even better than Jock Itch.

[@Thranduil606]

The problem with the Merciless is that is shares the same amount of reserve ammo as a rifle that fires at a rate of 280 RPM. It plays more like an AR than a Rifle, which means if you are not constantly moving and picking up ammo, you're going to run out. Part of the reason i don't like using the MDR either. I can build around it to make it feel really good, make it do a lot of damage, etc, but if i am not constantly going on little scavenger hunts while doing open world content, to collect more ammo, i'll run out before i even complete 1 Control Point.

[@microphonechexmix12]

That's why I run Gunner... automatically regenerates ammo

[@harry3471]

Well at least the Dev team gave us a useful exotic this season! Liked the use of a piece of palisades, gives you that little bit of armor recovery as you're moving about the battlespace. You've got power to spare on this build, so I used memento and a zoo chest w/ unbreakable and breezed through heroic content. I'm calling the build B.A.M. -- born again merciless.

[@iambecomedeafdestroyerofwords]

Da Vinci would be proud , you did what Dan Brown and Tom Hanks couldn’t do ; Make the Merciless viable !

[@tmattoneill]

so glad he stopped using that robot halfway through... that was annoying af

[@DraykCiptco]

5 months late, but I used this with Virtuoso, Eagle's Grasp and the holster of the same brand. Does decent on Challenging alternating between Merciless and Like Glue. Haven't tried it on Heroic yet though and it's definitely not tanky.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

Always want 2 see the merciless get featured. The little weapon that could- I think I can! ... I think I can!...

[@TuxedoBandido]

Narrated by Tito.

[@SaltyOldBaldurian]

If you swap the gun-clicks (shots/pops) for chuga-lugas it even sounds like a train. ;D

[@PninjamonkeyJ]

As a turret/drone skill build player, my all time favorite weapon has been the harmony. All these updates have made it even better now. Except for the fact that it doesn't make any sound when I fire it. They break just as much shtuff as they fix. 😅

[@Spen_B]

I've always loved this weapon and it's great that it eventually kicks ass.

[@rishavsandal4561]

damn i still rember i found your channel when i was looking for some merciless build as it was my first exotic i had no idea it was bad this bring some memories.

[@MechanicMitch]

I tried a rifle build out, all reds, groupo, cheska, fox’s, 3 pc Zoo or whatever. Glass or Oblit Vigilance or that 15% dmg while in cover backpack. Seems “ok” ish. Mk 17//sig762 with boomerang. I decided to cut the crits and add armor regen + crits + glass + vigilance. Seems more sustainable with 50+ chc and 120 ish chd

[@MechanicMitch]

Or run an improvised piece instead of cheska for more chd

[@grumpyoldman6503]

I prefer lucky shot with the higher RPM rifles (esp m1a cqb). Also have a coyote version with minimal crit (32%) for even more handling/CHD that is used at standard off distances.

[@davidclixby5840]

Been playing with it today with the new gear set and really enjoying it. Great rate of fire and stable.

[@williammahoney5266]

The second I saw what the zoo gearset did, i immediately made a merciless build and it's almost exactly the same as this🤣🤣🤣

[@jarrodnew5958]

The Weird Science plug was GOLDEN! HBO was the best channel back in the late 80's early 90's..

[@tmattoneill]

what does HBO have to do with weird science? :D

[@Punisher_the_bot]

I love the funny stuff on your videos!!

[@KINGREXBABI]

Or they could just revise the weapon to make it competitive... i miss the year one merceliss. The explosive damage it did on hit rather then this weird stacking mechanism was so much more fun. That with the bombedier drone before they destroyed that skill to use to be amazing.

[@MountainHigh1984]

I'm on PS5 I've been using those new weapon handling gloves and any type of lmg even the ravenous rifle has no sound it's really weird I was just wondering if anybody else has noticed it I'm on PS5 there is no sound effects to lmgs or the ravenous

[@bestsportsmediatv4267]

Question is the Ruthless rifle better because it has a higher dmg rating or iam i missing something with the merciless ?

[@brandonbanks631]

Nice crack a at Doc Disrespectful Pdf at the end with the mustache bit. Lol

[@WxlfmanOfficial]

I had a merciless build with braced on it and lovee every moment of it

[@grumpyoldman6503]

can do the same thing without sacrificing chest talent power (glass or oblit both work great) now thanks to zoo, do it!!

[@Website-Content-Creator]

they must allow us to change exotic weapon components like division 1 where you can change some components in exotic weapons

[@pauliusvasiliauskas5678]

Nice video editing Tux, very entertaining bro

[@crisschan2463]

have you tried mixing it with 3 improvised gears?

[@alexsnow8015]

Can’t wait to put this build together

[@neraklh1017]

Glass cannon and survivability? You can use sparkle or something

[@sjyeager]

ITs nice but it gave me an Idea with the Ravenous (Gunner) Backpack: Ninja Backpack(crit chance mod, 1 (mask: Breaking point(Core: offense) (crit chance+ crit chance mod) Gloves: Eagle grasp (crit chance) Chest piece: Belstone (Core: defense- Crit chance + crit damage. Mod: crit damage) (Talent: Obliterate) Holster: Zwaidowka Sp. z o.o. (core: Offense) (Weapon handling + crit chance) (Kneepads: Fox's Prayer) (core: offense) (crit chance) (it gives my 6mill damage max and allot of bonus defense) and even if you kill the enemy with defense primer it gives you 10% more damage on armor per stack and doubles on 10 so thats 200% more damage to armor with all that bonus armor)

[@sjyeager]

And yes I've tested it on Lincoln memorial and the bosses melt with this build

[@grumpyoldman6503]

Ravi is just clunky AF on console but ya it benefits from the new stuff.

[@cowboybibby]

Why the fuck did it ever get nerfed in the first place?

[@lockade_9958]

Who said it was crap? I got manhunt back in the day with that gun 133. You just gotta spec into weapon handling and crit chance.

[@mrrob5851]

Great vid tux.

[@100StepProgram]

I wonder if I should use it with my modded controller because I’m too lazy to shoot it normally

[@mrrob5851]

[@CHEF2077]

How do you get a lv 40 Merciless? I only have the Ruthless…..

[@mrrob5851]

Tux. They must have changed something. I have half this build and 32.5 handling and it’s still a laser beam.

[@tony203x]

merciless shines best against those shield carrying enemies and dogs IMO. more of a secondary weapon than primary.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

anything you can hammer to get the explosion. it's RPM is dumb for the handling has always been it's issue (and so low shot damage and recoil catches up to it and it breaks your finger spamming it). also don't like it with ammo directives since it's so hongry.

🫡 Hey, What's the modifications you would recommend this build for for us Solo Pve folk. As shown is insta death in solo Heroic Open World. Thanks 👍

[@grumpyoldman6503]

use oblit and your shield. pack talent can be composure or companion. if you wanted to lean into companion (use a heal drone), you can build this with Henri as well.

[@davidclixby5840]

I use it with the shield and drone and breeze through heroic. Playing legendary today it worked great. I love it.
