5 TOP DIVISION 2 LOADOUTS YOU NEED IN 2025

[@HeroZ3ro]

Have just got back into Div2 after a few years away from the franchise now that destiny 2 is in abit of a slump and have been watching your videos to get back up to speed has been very helpful in catching back up, just got up to level 40 and getting back into the endgame so much stuff to do and your guides have definitely pointed me in the right direction.

[@RogueGold]

🙏 Really happy to hear that they've helped out- and welcome back! You picked a solid time to return, we've got a new DLC coming next Season!

[@simba2023]

[@lorenzgrice8734]

I just picked up the game for 10 dollars and forgot i had a level 22 character lol i look foward to jumping back in

[@h3rmesactual]

Still absolutely in love with my hybrid build with 6 skill tiers and 4 weapon cores. Really gives me the freedom to handle content in any way I want, whether that be through skills or through weapon damage, or both. After I tossed it together a year ago, it's been my main build that I use.

[@DudeHuge]

Thank you. That sniper build is tons of fun and I cleared my first solo legendary with it. Slow and steady.

[@RogueGold]

🔥 Love to hear that! Congrats!

[@maxutsler866]

I like to run ceska chest with obliterate instead of the striker chest. Just feel like if you ain’t running legendary or incursion it’s pretty difficult to maintain stacks over 100. The build you showcase could be great for legendary/incursion.

[@bw9839]

If I remember, werent you able to pull out an SMG with a Bulwark shield in Div 1...I wish we were able to do that in Div 2

[@exulas]

if i remember correctly, it was a brand set bonus. so if it were to come back, id hope it would be an exotic talent or a brand set thing again.

[@Elysian-III]

It was a classified gearset that gave u that function

[@bbsphotography2187]

I've got a striker build with a shield I can't swap out and it runs a shield with regular gun (ar or smg, I forget). No idea how though, took a year or so away and can't remember! 😂

D3NC gearset. A lot of fun.

[@bartosz3837]

@@Elysian-III No You could equip smg with no classified pieces, it was 4 piece bonus part 5 and 6 part was completly different.

[@EnragedPostman]

Generally speaking, I keep 5 different types of builds on my characters: One solo DPS, one group dps, one tank, one skills and one PvP. What each build consists of varies depending on the activity I'm doing.

Great video brother…I’ve been loving your PVP and conflict builds….

[@RogueGold]

👊 Thanks so much!

[@tbw223]

For my Striker/Lexington build, I went 3x Striker, Ninjabike, 1x Providence, and 1x Fenris (one on the chest with Obliterate). Should get your crit chance up to 57% with enough mods on the rifle and the right rolls on equipment, then stack crit damage. Ninjabike gives you a little more survivability with the additional armor, especially if you're using a shield with the +1 to skill.

[@garfythecat]

I tried the Hotshot/Determined build with two Hapsburg pieces and it didn't make enough of a difference to justify a crazy grind for the perfect rolls. I settled on Memento and Chainkiller with White Death and it still does well over 22 million per shot.

[@RogueGold]

100%- the other options will work great. I wish Habsburg came with a red instead 😄

[@WhySoSaltyGaming]

I have a Hotshot/Determined build and its slaps. Easy to run heroic directive content. Even slaps on legendary group runs.

[@MashedPotatoes21]

So if you run ninjabike, three hot shot, one breakpoint, and a hapsburg chest with chainkiller. You pretty much don’t need vigilance talent on a backpack, because of all the damage stats you get from the gear sets. Totally worth the grind in my opinion for the hapsburg chestpiece. It was a tough grind.

[@joaquinorena3943]

Great video, mate. Cheers!!!. Saludos desde Argentina!!!

[@joaquinorena3943]

@RogueGold A Ongoing Directive would be a must. Remember that Kelso mission? That's was MasterDif. Provide your squad with Hollow +

[@tjstaveley7596]

Just getting back into in, do you have separate videos for each build? Either way love the content and it's helped a lot! Cheers

I do for 2/5 of them, they're linked down in the description of the video. If you've got any confusions/questions on the rest though, I'm happy to clear anything up!

[@tjstaveley7596]

@RogueGold that's great cheers bud 👍

[@Sn0wballNinja]

Recently discovered your content, immediately devoured your Dark Zone playlist, thus causing you to make me reinstall D2 after almost 2 years! I adored this game, I just moved on after several hundred hours because #adhd. ANYWAY, I certainly feel behind the times with all my builds now! I loved this video as it helped me reconnect with what is currently worthwhile in the game. Regrettably I don't seem to have received my Lexington (I'll try log a ticket), so naturally I am keen to find this "St Elmo's Engine" exotic AR! My old AR build was a very stock standard AR crit build but horribly optimised as I had minimal armour and relied on Perseverance on secondary to heal me. I was in the process of attempting to pull together a "Pulse-Status Effect-DMG" build, which made me realise how little god-roll gear I actually have! Look I'm not the best grinder, and even my old builds are not 100% min-maxed to perfection, but I'd love some insight/guidance into farming to pull together that Striker build! Keep up the great work brother!

[@RogueGold]

👊 Welcome back my friend! Really glad the video helped out. As for farming, I highly recommend you check out this video. There's a few solid options (as I go over), but specifically #1 is what I suggest most 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXaZpXeqfLNgiqssi=lS3Bj6Ho9-dP0tY4

[@Sn0wballNinja]

@@RogueGold Splendid! Thank you for the guidance! 😊(If you see someone looking like a lost puppy in DZ, it's just me farming god-rolls, be nice 🤣)

[@CircumlunarFeasibility]

with modifiers, bullet king is awesome from a distance, and i prefer distance.

[@Disfortunate662]

A VERY good substitute for the carnage, if anyone is having issues, is the ACR SS. I went with max stability with the scope being 10% crit hit damage and I'm still hitting for at least 1.5 mill every crit.

[@Disfortunate662]

Another honorable mention is the UIC15 MOD2. It fires a bit slower but has the same ammo capacity and hits for 2.1 mill a crit. You can add the flash hider too for extra crit damage since it doesn't move.

[@usmcbrog]

Don't forget about the owls on Rosevelt. They take you pretty cool room too.

[@OleksandrKryshevskyi]

Nice!!! Wanna see more like this!!!

[@TheBigBlueMarble]

Next year I would like to see the top 5 builds categorized by the purpose of the build, not just the gear set. When I am working with new players to farm gear I present it this way: DPS (Striker) Team DPS support (Ongoing Directive) Survivability (Umbra or Heartbreaker) Skill damage (Empress Int'l) Sniper (Hotshot) Repair/Team Suport (Future Initiative). This makes it easier for new players to understand why certain recommendations are being made.

[@RogueGold]

👍 Good suggestion!

[@doctordurst]

Good selection👍👏🏼

[@RogueGold]

👍 Thanks!

[@SerDoomned]

I would add my lazy undying tank build with permament shield for random coop legendary missions, with it I complete weekly assignments on the first try. Technician + Catharsis + 4 parts of Foundry Bulwark + Motherly Love. Artificiar hive + any shield. Scorpio + Liberty or TDI Kard with Reformation. On legendary difficulty, I can easily raise fallen teammates by tanking damage from a couple of tanks. Yes, zero damage, but to kill me, they need a couple of tanks, several grenade launchers and drone operators.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

And if you really wanted to, use legmo instead with ER and you are pretty invulnerable. No damage, but boy is the buff to Foundry plus reformation on a TDI with artificer hive *really* tanky. Catharsis is a bit over the top, prefer another shield health piece or even shocker punch for giggles. NBB works fine too, the Foundry pack is really overkill.

[@TheDreadfulDrifter]

One thing i noticed about the 'one shot mmr/rifle build tho, any enemy with a helmet/breakable armour, ruins the chain. So unless you can immediately get another legitimate headshot kill, it can get dicy.

[@tristannewton5963]

this is great! Thank you

[@RogueGold]

👍👍

[@patrickdietrich267]

I've been gone for a few years. I've been playing the division 2 lately, and I must say I am having a lot of fun. The only thing I do not like is that the projects are not that great.

[@ilaril]

I kinda hate that only build I can play the way I like it the ninja backpack, picarro's, brazzo's (or what ever the picarro's manufacturer was) chest with unbreakable and three pieces of Striker's. I love the +50% mag, can run with big horn and get things done. It's stupid build, but I don't over extend myself quite that badly with it.

[@nebbie6]

it’s a great build. I run the exact same build except with obliterate talent on chest piece and the chameleon for its extra 90% weapon damage. I used to run unbreakable on it too but ever since i found out how much damage output i can get with obliterate and striker while maintaining the 50% added magazine size i never looked back. I would recommend giving it a try. i run a blue core on the chest piece so i get 3 blue and 3 yellow cores because of ninjabike, brazos, and i run technician with it. that gives you full shield cores which heightens survivability enough for me to not run unbreakable. (I also run either a defender drone or a revive hive for added survivability)

[@RogueGold]

@ilaril That's a fun one- nothing wrong with using that!

[@AgentGeo]

Surprised no skill builds made it on this list. I would always recommend a skill build of sorts. Perhaps the next one.

[@JChrist69]

skill builds are easy to use they dont need to be in a guide 😂

[@glimmermoth9307]

And a red strikers isn't? Hitting a foam is already more skill then anything you do on strikers

[@Larsus1312]

Ceska and Groupo back and Chest is actually the mathematically best way to build strikers now after the update

[@wondays654]

No it's not. The way he built it is mathematically the best. I can't really link spreadsheets but you can just look into it yourself.

[@abyssphantom6786]

All depends on what content someone is running. Striker Chest is max damage, but only outperforms Obliterate chest when Striker can AVG 140+ (or something around that) stacks in combat at all times, which is usually not feasible outside of Raids and Incursion.

[@mrteefoursix3440]

​@@wondays654In game Ceseka/Groupo combination is stronger. I have top 100 solo legendary times with it on xbox. Building stacks with striker chest/backpack does take too long in game. Not sure about the math, but it works better. Especially since we have Lexington now w. Killer talent.

[@wondays654]

@@mrteefoursix3440 you might be correct, I don't know what would be going into testing "in game", but running numbers with a spreadsheet, the way that rogue showed in the video would be best when running on a training dummy.

[@mrteefoursix3440]

If you go 6 red striker, there is a better combination with more damage. Ceska chest with Glass Cannon or Obliterate, Groupo backpack with Unstoppable Force, rest Striker. Lexington with Killer and Dark Winter with perfect Killer.

RG, noticed you use the Apartment in one or more of your builds there, Was it listed as now dropping in the Capitol stronghold ?? Every time I run the Capitol I get one, whether as a drop during mission or at the end as a reward.

I believe it dropping there is a bug. But, no reason not to farm it while it's there!

[@edgargonzalez-hernandez3439]

Hi! 2 quick questions... 1. How do you get the SR1's sights to tighten in like that? Mine just stays spread out unless I scope but you said that the build is for no scoping. 2. How do younget the damage numbers on the enemy to show up off to the side instead of on them as they take damage? I've looked everywhere in the settings and can't find this option (XBox). I really appreciate the build video! Im getting back into the game after a long hiatus and this helped alot!

[@RogueGold]

Hey! Really glad the video helped out 👊 1. I'm not to sure on this one. All weapons should have their reticle go to a "resting" tightened position so long as you're not firing. I'd honestly probably have to see a picture/clip of what you mean to better diagnose, sorry! 2. You can go to: Settings > UI > Scrolling Combat Text > Floating 👍

[@edgargonzalez-hernandez3439]

So I figured out why the reticle takes so long to tighten up...its because my dumbass is always moving and it only tightens up when you are still. SMH. Also, thanks for the floating text instructions! The numbers are nicely out of the way now.

[@clausnielsen9446]

I have only been running a skill build (turret and drone edition). I can't be bothered to run anything else.

[@Kits550]

Love a build update video which feeds into my question. So I still run and love the H/S sniper build (still rocking Chainkiller and the Sacrifice) but my question is, if I run challenging, I couldn't even give away the determined buff once procc'd but during heroic, if I blink the buff is gone! What gives? This isn't a change weapons / FT to a safehouse issue as I've ran this build probably in excess of 12 months so feel comfortable knowing what I'm doing but only recently started heroic just because of this season's poor choice of directives. Any thoughts? Keep up the good work RG.

[@RogueGold]

Hey! Nothing stands out to me immediately... assuming I'm understanding your situation correctly. You're using the regular version of Determined, yes? Because the Perfected version does function a bit different

[@Kits550]

@RogueGold Regular version yeah as I'm still using the Finnish legend (the white death of course). I'll be experimenting some more with it on heroic to see if I can work out why or where I lose the buff as often as I do.

[@gamewowrs4795]

how to change the hand holding the gun. on console it was easy. I can't find it on PC

Can't believe Negotiator Dilemma didn't make it. I guess it suits my play style. Have you made a Darkzone/PVP Negotiators build BEFORE? IT Slaps when you combine it with Ranger on an AR, add 2 range Mods. 60+m on the Lexington. Could it work? I suck too much at PVP to go and try 1 V 3 in the Darkzone.

[@darkmatter9534]

@RogueGold might be interesting 🤔

[@rozariomatosin1879]

So for this determined to work un scoped, I just mod the SR-1 to not have any kind of scope?

[@RogueGold]

The Determined talent works the exact same whether you decide to put a scope on the weapon or not 👍 But since using a scope forces you to zoom with it when you ADS, it's a very different gameplay style to use one or not

[@RogueGold]

Questions...like the first striker built all red cores. How do u manage survivorbility. Final one your SHD 7000+ will these builds work as good at SHD 2800 which i am and exp level 9.

[@RogueGold]

For survivability, it mostly comes down to how you play. I tend to be a bit more aggressive in my playstyle, but I have to use cover and line of sights effectively to get hit as little as possible. As for your SHD level, after 1,000 there are no more relevant stat increases- so you're all good there!

[@DJOllie2024]

@RogueGold when i play CPs and PVE i always shoot from cover mainly as my style instead of run and gun. If i stay out of cover to long i get wrecked. Ive started to play with a revivior hive or hive which repairs armour. That helps sometimes.

[@Aylarcamilla]

@roguegold do you have a virtuoso loadout you’d recommend? I don’t know if it’s good for pve. Also I hear it’s better than striker? I haven’t tried the gear set yet

[@MattKaneVA]

What do you think of Lexington with Killer for the DZ build?

[@MattKaneVA]

Elmo's? Strega?

[@Juicexlx]

Killer is a great talent in PVE, but in DZ it may not work when you need it, because it only activates if you get a crit kill, which at best is a 60% chance, hence you'll have difficulty killing your 1st or maybe 2nd or maybe even 3rd real-life player with it. The Lexington is Meta right now, the Strega also has fantastic stats. The St-Elmos' dps potential is well below these two, but its larger magazine gives you extra bullets and if its ''shock'' triggers, it might slow-down your prey long enough to finish it, but you'd have to pour expertise in it to make it hit harder.

[@HelmsRupture]

Measured for pvp

[@RogueGold]

@MattKaneVA Depends on if you're wanting to PVE, or PVP in the DZ, I think. If PVE- it'll work great. For PVP however, on-kill talents aren't always the best or most reliable, since in 1v1 scenarios you aren't getting a kill until the engagement is over.

Is this Negotiator in the intro but it is not on the list? Hmmm.

[@RogueGold]

Didn't quite make the cut, IMO. But still a very strong and fun set- absolutely!

[@jonming6676]

Which is a better talent, strained or optimist?

[@AgentGeo]

TBH...they are both decent but they offer different damage types. Strained offers CHD where Optimist offers straight weapon damager. A lot of folks default to optimist because youtubers have been putting it on every build for years. However, a lot of agents do not use Optimist correctly. You need to fire the entire magazine in order for you to get the most benefits out of it. If you are constantly reloading you are constantly resetting Optimist. Personally i have been switching over to Killer. I think that is the way to go right now.

[@RogueGold]

I personally prefer Optimist, since in theory it's just as effective regardless of your weapon's RPM. Strained technically gets more worth out of slower firing weapons

[@JChrist69]

you dont need 4 hotshot to do this either a ninjabike and a ton of mmr damage can do this too

[@AceVoltia]

Use foxes prayer over the contractors gloves guys, unless your using LMGs then keep contractors on!

[@abyssphantom6786]

If the Weapon has DTOC as lower attribute already, and if someone only had to pick 1 between Foxes or Contractors, Contractors would give more damage due to it being a different source of Multiplicative dmg.

[@AceVoltia]

@ interesting! I have never had an issue and have compared contractors over foxes for Incursions. Foxes seems to perform better! Contractors is definitely a good alternative regardless :)

[@abyssphantom6786]

@ yeah, there’s only very slight differences between them, Damage wise. Like, usually all within 1% of each other, between Foxes, Contractors, Cheska, or Groupo, for a Coyote striker build with Both Chest and backpack. The changes vary from build to build though, depending on all other perks used, as Multiplicative boosts multiply on top of each other a little differently than Total Weapon damage boosts stack additive on top of each other. A small example, is how Hunters Fury gives about 53.5% amplified damage at max stacks instead of the 45% that most players think, because it’s all Pure multiplicative from the set, and multipliers boosting other multipliers.

[@OverlordGrizzaka]

RG can you recommend a generic build for LMGs?

[@RogueGold]

This one is a favorite of mine- the video shows it with Modifiers, but it works great without them as well! 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTXp5eCbMicbNUsi=pf9byrGnIqQgzk4p

[@OverlordGrizzaka]

@RogueGold thank you sir. I know they're not the best I just have an affinity for them.

[@MrRillist]

Is heart breaker no good?

[@gavhadamz81]

Heartbreaker is a beast mate especially with the dare lmg

[@RogueGold]

@MrRillist Heartbreaker is great! This setup has been my favorite this Season, it's good with or without Modifiers 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTXp5eCbMicbNUsi=pf9byrGnIqQgzk4p

[@AdamJWM]

I totally forgot I have a Strenga.

[@andrehamiel9076]

That would be me for guidance

[@Cromie45]

Strega & Negotiators is fun but a missed opportunity by ubi by not letting Negotiators set kills proc strega. That being said you feel like a one man army in legendary. Umbra & iron lung makes DZ trolls PISSED and it's great.

[@MitchKupietz-z4i]

As long as I have Elmo, nothing can stop me!

[@darthsarka5246]

#1 Classified D3

[@RogueGold]

pshhh

[@djbeema]

I always wonder what percentage of people running strikers actually use it properly by building stacks. My guess is like 20% 😂

[@Tubetubing1]

I need someone to create me a few strong builds. I tried but just don’t understand the system. I’m willing to pay

[@banhammer7243]

As someone who has almost 1500 hours in Division 2, I find builds are gimmicky. Just load up on Damage and crit, in particular for your favoured weapon type. Job done.

[@gavhadamz81]

Where's the best place to farm tanks mate.

[@RogueGold]

The Countdown game mode 👍 You can set your own Targeted Loot to narrow down what you want, and the loot quantity is the highest in the game

[@gavhadamz81]

@RogueGold awsome thanks mate. Keep the content flowing 💪🏻

[@sgtzilla58]

Too much armor and not enough crit is a decision made by most. The time to kill will always beat armor builds

[@ScrubsBeAfraid-]

Id defo put Hunters Fury in top 5

[@RogueGold]

Hunter's is amazing, for sure!

[@Sgt_Potato_1]

There's one builds for the extremely lazy pve player that you might want to consider placing on the list: China light explosive delivery chest, 4p hardwired, btsu gloves, restorer give, cluster seekers, Demolitionist. Scorpion shotgun, Lexington... and if you want to go with an extra blue, the tdi kard custom to keep our unless you want to swap to the shotgun to interrupt any surprise rushers. It's my go to farming build and it's still incredible for fast clears. Toss the seekers and get an initial explosion, throw out the hive to reset the seekers, rinse and repeat. It's easy mode for almost all content but pvp. Endless explosions.

[@SenseiCur]

Tagging to give this a try

[@findelciclo]

4 striker, memento backpack, fenris chest with obliterate and st elmo is still superior

[@RogueGold]

That one remains my preference for most solo and Heroic content 👍 But in terms of maximum possible damage, the setup shown in this video wins out

[@ShoryukenSF]

Using the sniper build gets you kicked out of groups because they think you’re cheating. Its ridiculous

[@rybr3ad]

For those who want and updated striker build the sacrifice and gift together do more now then striker backpack, and if you don't like those items use grupo or ceska obliterate chest and unstoppable force grupo or ceska backpack (numbers wise those do better)

[@JChrist69]

sucks i still dont have catharsis only 5 exotics i dont have regulus strega one of the holsters ravenous and catharsis only one i really want is catharsis Edit. also if anyone doesnt have an Eaglebearer and wants one i got one on a new character at lvl 35 in dz no one else in the dz either

[@rickmarr8784]

For me I got 2 versions of my striker build, one for most content and the other for the incursion. I haven't tried it out on the raids yet, don't know if anyone is still doing them. I also have a hotshots determine sniper build but with airaldi and the headhunter and I use the ninja bike BP. I also have a pistol determine build. I also have a eclipse build and a skill damage build using empress mostly. I also got a negotiators and a hunter's fury build.

[@frontlive4210]

I agree but not with the confoct build since there are tons of status/skills players that can wipe players no matter how talented/experienced they are. Therefore cartasis is the best choice and not only because of the talent where you loose all status, having regen and incoming repair, the 45% damage increase is up most of the time especially when playing against skills and status. Much better choice than the coyote. In combination withe jammer and booster hive you are set to fight all kind of builds. Try it out

[@lzzzzzzzzz365]

6 armour is more consistent in DZ

[@finbarTTV]

Striker....that's it. All other builds are just for the sake of variation.
