THE DIVISION 2 HARDWIRE SKILL BUILDS ARE SO GOOD AND YOU NEED TO TRY THEM! MY BEST SKILL BUILD

[@NothingButSkillz]

What is you favorite skills to use on a SKILL BUILD?

[@the_prophecy22]

It was your all gold I'll have to try this. Have you had issue with the mortor turret locking in place? When I use mine it sometimes locks on one location and I have to destroy the turret and redeploy.

[@XV_AFRO]

Josh Mcdermott That’s because you are probably double tapping it, on one location where the enemy is at. Maybe double tap it, once more, it shouldn’t be a problem. I have a stacked team where we all have mortar builds and all of us ran into it, individually. And trust me, people who will start using the mortar build, all of them will get that issue.

[@Coyotzz]

Sticky bomb and fixer drone/chem launcher idk why

[@painpurge4663]

I perfer to heal so a restore hive and a chem.

[@OnyxfearX_X]

Hardwire of course

[@kevwoodall1210]

The 4 piece HW with btsu gloves and stinger hive is amazing! Giving you and your squad overcharge.the gloves also refresh revive hives instantly,every 2 mins.

[@nogz01]

I'm a new player and couldn't understand shit from your other videos, but this one you explained really well, you focused on piece by piece showing the talents and what it does. The other videos you weren't focusing so you'd mess up subjectives, but this one you did right. Thanks

[@Halderic]

I've been running Hard Wired (without feedback loop) Tier build with Striker Drone and Assault Turret and I can handle Heroic Control Points really easily. Not *quite* as fast as what is shown. I'll just sit back and shoot from a safe distance with the Diamondback Exotic Rifle.

[@christopher447]

Cool

[@m.rcl_]

As I understand The Send-off got nerfed - any other recommendation for 9.1?

[@filipbrzosko6613]

With hive you can have cluster mines every 10s because you can pick up and deploy hive all the time. I have so much explosion all the time it sometimes lags my ps4

[@alcala315]

When talking about your shotgun all I could do is stare at that eagle bearer and realize I will never have it.

[@Shademastermcc]

The btsu gloves go hard with this set. Just keep throwing your hive, then throw another skill, then blow the hive, throw your skill again, shoot a little, rinse repeat. Also ninjabike with slower longer lasting skills that you don't have to refresh as quickly is great. Turret and drone come to mind.

[@BigJKtm]

How are you sure that the holstered talent for SEND OFF is working correctly? by that I mean there is no indicator below the AMMO count where all your other skills appear when they are activated? I seem to remember a couple weeks ago that when I used the Send Off you would see the Perfectly Rooted Icons appear in the row with the rest of the activated talents but then it stopped appearing I would say after the patch a week or so ago.

[@uhhhmemes7331]

I’m honestly enjoying. How much builds your posting, it makes the division 2 a lot more fun with more diverse builds that I’m trying and making some myself.

[@Mayrose587]

I've been running a HW build since I started WoNY. I currently run only 3 pieces because I believe HW is still broken. They fixed Positive Reinforcement (chest talent) from interfering with Short Circuit (backpack talent), but some skills still do not correctly trigger Short Circuit. For an example, use the sticky bomb (fire or explosive) and then once it's on cooldown, use something like the hive to try and activate Short Circuit to replenish the sticky bomb. It doesn't work...

[@clutchshots6480]

How is it a holstered talent if it reads while equiped? I'm kinda confused, thought we don't have holstered talent anymore

[@anthonyjames7403]

Do you think it would work with the stinger hive and the shock trap. Those are the two skills I run the most with my gold build.

[@DigiCube4]

Here it is. All the influx of skill builds now that hardwire is working right. Skill Build Supremacy!!!!

[@aka-gitsune3481]

Is there an alternate build for this that does not include The Send-off since it had the holstered perk removed?

[@mikedionr]

This build is also fun if you running in a group that is mainly DPS. Switch the Seeker Mines for Blinder Firefly. You can constantly blind targets, bombard them with artillery and let your buddies melt them.

[@tyrenace6597]

I like to use sniper and blinder a lot in groups. I don't like to disturb peoples aim but if the bomb turret works well then I may switch over to it. I get why you use the bomb turret though with the potential to hit more then one enemy.

[@mikedionr]

@@tyrenace6597 It's fun. Especially when you the blind the enemies for 13 to 16 seconds. You can unload hell on them.

[@gonzolo4]

I use hardwired with explosive turret, with med chem launcher. I get instant refresh on my turret. I have haste, skill damage, and skill repair, so I can be a healer in a pinch. I also use the Carnage LMG for extra damage to bleeding enemies.

[@Kitcho771]

The seekers need to be reworked so they expode on contact not the area the enemies where at

[@NothingButSkillz]

Jason Kitching they could improve them a little bit they still pretty nice

[@krkan77]

or seekers dont explode. or drop through the floor. or come back to you and find no target... they ar fun but buggd as hell. -.-

[@christopherarocha92]

Ye they need to tweak that a bit 👌🏽

[@manueltolentino]

I gave Hardwired another try after the latest update, but the fact that the seeker mines are getting easily dodged 90% of the times (on heroic global diff. at least) is why i turned it down once again. You can clearly see the issue on this video, multiple times.

[@kaimaynard8233]

@@manueltolentino if you run a stinger hive and seeker with a Costa go bag I throw the hive then a nade then seeker everything hits and seekers OC with surge weapon and spotter talent my seekers hit way over 3.6mil and hives in the 1.8mil range very good build I have.

[@caranich23]

It's nice to see someone who doesn't think RED is the only way to go. I really like the Striker Drone, do you have any build tips to use it more effectively?

[@jordanmearns3242]

Damn, Skillz, this is awesome! I run HW all the time when I run solo but never thought to forego the HW chest to get Skilled instead. Putting this together ASAP now!

[@jianchengrong9095]

I use sobram and china light and wyrven, demolist specialization, with sticky bomb and mortar, the explosive damage is off the chart

[@aarontan2253]

I love my hardwired for legendary missions. Used that for capitol building days ago.

[@MistaVauros]

Massive Devs said Send-off holstered talent will be removed in the next TU, so no point in building around that talent; build as if the talent no longer exists. This means that you will no longer have constant seekers; there will be a cool down after they remove Send-off talent.

[@TheOriginalHairyDave]

That's what I've been running since Warlords dropped but with a couple of differences - I have Percussive Maintenance instead of the HW backpack (so I give up a little skill damage for Perfect Tech Support) and I run blast radius mods on both skills to offset some of the Olympic level gymnastics the AI seems capable of now.

[@janjankovicjahoda]

This is a very good build for up to challenging difficulty. In heroics and +4 cp you need at least 2 shots from artillery and that's just not enought to proc the cluster. I'm sticking with gold build turret/drone nonstop mayham :)

[@wwr_hades]

This is good n all but how do you survive without any repair skills? There are only so may med kits you can carry

[@Nimno74]

I ran pulse and seekers for a while when I had the gloves that drastically reduces the pulse cd, and a chest that had skilled. Was perpetual highlighted enemies with non-stop seekers chasing them.

[@blank98]

Was running this last week. Was pretty fun. Sometimes could get annoying using the artillery turret

[@Egenix52]

Cluster mines are useless right now, they either explode far from the enemy or don't do any damage because of a hit detection bug. They are at their worst state in open word. In missions it's 1 in a half chance that they work.

[@chrisfontaine325]

If you double tap the button the skill is on it usually fixes that 4 me

[@glootfrootswoot]

I miss the Div1 clusters that also did bleed

[@monolithic7739]

@DoubleBoe7 yes, double tapping sets your turret target location to wherever you aim it, so you can hit a location you are not actively looking at

[@bobhood4482]

@DoubleBoe7 double tap the button and it free up because u can lock it in place if u hold down to long

[@mrleslau]

Sad but true

[@Shimooo-o]

Heya! Weird qeustion, but how is that jacket / parka called?

[@bwlucas]

I'm really enjoying this build. Thanks for this one! So much fun!

[@foxeh.]

What about the talent called Tech Support? Skill kills increase total skill damage by 25% for 20 secs? Would that be better than the Skilled talent? 🤔

[@NothingButSkillz]

one is on the chest and one is on the backpack.

[@foxeh.]

@@NothingButSkillz ah thanks for clearing that up bro 👊🏼

[@Godlage]

With ur build, ur sacrificing damage for getting ur skills back faster. I run "Glass Cannon" on my vest piece and "shock and awe" on my backpack with 111% skill haste. My arty turret does 5.75 million damage and comes back in 9-10 seconds. I don't have any problems surviving with glass cannon on.

[@colethomas2309]

What about the Acosta's go-bag? Do you think it would work well here?

[@3ron]

Tried the hard wired/ seekers build with sticky bomb or the chem launcher the feedback loop doesn't proc.

[@YoloSwagins999]

It's a good build and mortar turret is awesome for clearing CP4s and all but the problem I run into with it is against heavies/tanks. They can just sit there, eating mortars, and take forever to kill. For example, running Lincoln Memorial in an effort to get Tardigrade and the 1st named enemy is much worse with this build then a rifle build. I have to make it rain all over him with multiple seekers. While rifle is shoot red pack, blow it up with 1 or 2 shots, then finish him off with a few shots. So much easier.

[@realtalkz3930]

I got a god roll Surge so I thought I would try a skill build for a change after playing around with it I don't know what to think of skill builds they take longer to clear and can be a bit awkward to use especially getting use to aiming the mortar at distances and I'll keep trying it to see if I get a feel for it but I'm use to stacked crit high dps going in close and shredding with a M1A and an M60 but we will see

[@scar4513]

Dude thank you so much I was trying to make a skill build for PVE but I didn't have enough gold gears I got all these green gears now I can finally build a decent skill build THANK YOU AGAIN.

[@gage5024]

oh hell yeah skill builds

[@tealvampyre]

The seekers coming back so fast in your video at 1:00 -- was that the unintended effect that the devs talked about fixing for TU 9.1? Can you try this build again after TU 9.1 and see if it functions as before?

[@robscott351]

Question, is it possible or very common to beat a mission on Legendary solo?

[@NothingButSkillz]

i think but might take you a long time.

[@RestaurantManager101]

Not sounding yourself man, stay safe, keep it rocking

[@minortoterona2947]

hardwire chest AND acosta bag. just throwing nade will trigger overcharge. your turrets will spew those rounds ades like insane !

[@DaGodRa]

I been using HW with seeker and Auto Turrets. Throw seeker, wait for it to destroy, place turret, seeker reset. I never thought about using the mortars. Thanks.

[@briancrooks5982]

Tamper proof is an overlooked talent too....turns your turret, hive or remote pulse into a 3m shock trap....great for baiting tanks.....

[@becuzawd1394]

Man you're builds are always on point, was running your Rifle build in the DZ hands down fun to play and nice to have.

[@Urban_Ops]

The shotgun skillpower is a booster for rooted and doesn’t work if u don’t have rooted on your gear

[@whitehunter101]

Wyvern vest with glass cannon and china light BP with tech support smacks

[@KBrahin]

I have a similar build, but I use the BTSU gloves when I'm running with people with DPS builds . I mainly use this because once I detonate my hive everyone can get their skills back, so all builds that I'm with can spam skills.

[@gr8juice83]

I been running this like a tested build....thanks bro now I can farm for the right pieces

[@tedbosquez19]

I don’t normally comment on build videos but I rather like the synergy between Skilled and the HW set ... nice job laying out the build and highlighting how the talents and set work in harmony ...

[@partybwoy8521]

Since they fixed it this was semi broken but now it’s been fixed if you build correctly it can constantly re buff but you need both chest and back pack skill for them to be fully effective you also have the wrong specialist on for the turret and skill damage in legendary missions

[@hordynaelmf]

Is there a hybrid build with a weapon and a skill completing each other damage with a healing skill?

[@DBreak]

Perfect rooted is no available at the game? What i should replace the snd weapon talen with an other when yes wiche i should use? (Sry bad eng)

[@ryeencoke]

Trying this now, but using a striker drone instead of a turret (although am thinking of trying the turret). Nowhere near getting perfect mods for the skills or the gear yet, but I am enjoying it and soloing nearly everything I am attempting now.

[@StuPedahso]

Great build bro!

[@brianhaught3892]

i like useing a overcharged build with the go-bag. would be fun to see a build around that

[@erabbitgamingofficial1]

I decided to swap out the exotic with hw back pack to see if its better. I'm not seeing the 10 second cooldown. I'm running 4 hard wire backpack/armor/holster/kneepads. WV mask for 10% skill haste and china light gloves for 15% explosive damage. My seekers are doing 2.3 mil and my mortar turret is doing 2.5 mil damage.

[@daso116]

Where did you get this outfit. I see it a lot lately. THX

[@BrotherLeon302]

I’m try this. Is there a build with the exotic backpack?

[@pentuplove6542]

In Sync or Perfectly In Sync is an option especially with Hollywood Event.

[@xaviermarquez5858]

Going to try this build out thanks man

[@miltonnunez6574]

I still prefer DPS build but these skill builds are certainly helpful playing heroic missions. Ran Wall Street heroic this morning with three guys running blinder skills they made it so easy.

[@krundug2848]

ive build a build as close to this as ive been able to... but for some reason that chest piece tallent aint working for me? it works SOMETIMES but nowhere near often enough to be usefull... any tips on getting it to trigger more often?

[@adamena]

Benn running your suggested gold build and was really enjoying it. Me and my wife had a good thing going with my skill build and get sniper build but must say looking forward to trying this hard wired build. 👍

[@GODLy_ASSASS1N]

Hey is there a reason why you didn’t use Acosta’s go bag? In this build. I just watched the new exotic video you put up and you said it was a skill users dream bag. Wanted to know if it contributed to this build or not.

[@erabbitgamingofficial1]

I'm wondering why you're not using the exotic back pack for that overcharge? It's nasty.

[@Frosties-nn8gz]

I don’t know if u will respond, in this build could u possible add acotas go bag to the build ?

[@dariusmaye]

Hey @NothingButSkillz will you be looking into Ongoing directive Gearset? I have been trying to get a good build with that gearset.

[@nelsonpichardo6266]

All the builds are fantastic, provided that people have the time to farm for 1) perfect of near perfect pieces, and 2) fully upgrade their library. Most people that I run into work full time and can only play either on their days off or add a couple of hours extra a week instead of sleep or spend time with family. At some point they give up trying because the amount of time to farm is exhausting, and if they do not run with a good team that is also equipped and seasoned, they continually get frustrated at re-starting heroic or legendary missions. It would be helpful to post builds for the average player who is not going to have these perfect pieces.

[@bluetoughguy]

Skill builds are pretty easy to build. Between the guild vendor, the hidden vendor that has hard wired as well, you can build it with relative ease. I work full time and play when I have time and his skill builds I've slowly swapped gear out for better pieces, but along the way they've held up as well.

[@nelsonpichardo6266]

@@bluetoughguy no one is saying that they are not easy to build. The message was that casual players are going to have a hard time copying his damage and build because most casual players do not have the God roll pieces or a completely maxed out library. If you happen to have both in a casual playing schedule then you are an outlier and very fortunate.

[@bluetoughguy]

@@nelsonpichardo6266 I don't know a lot of people that are casual players and running heroic and legendary missions. It's tough enough when you're geared. My buddy and I play together and just completed our first heroic run last night on roosevelt island because he wanted the sweet dreams shotgun (which actually dropped for us both on the last boss). Normally though, we live in challenging.

[@mtjoleolkaelle]

What’s the version of the new update? I’m looking at my ps4 Dv2 , it shows, version 1.24, so is this the current version?

You cancel your turret on the last round you can trigger loop too, just use mines right before it. I like it.

Hi skillz. I have this HW build. But I'm using sticky bomb or blind drone instead seeker clusters. The seeker makes enemies jump away and not concentrated for my bomb turret. Anyway, good build!

[@Squallion]

I run something similar but use the go bag and the hard wired gloves. Free tosses and more perks from the go bag. Good build though 👌

[@jamescbender43081]

I’m having a hard time getting the hang of the artillery turret. It doesn’t seem to want to fire half the time, or the response time seems really long.

[@stm22]

artillery depends much on the vision and map environment. Perso, im pairing my seeker with shield or oxidizer chem launcher. You are more mobile like that :)

[@MADDDOGGX99]

yeah when i use it , it can stop firing or it can spam out and stop movint the target

[@slacker20012]

If the target gets stuck double tap the button and it will free up. It locks on a target if you aim and use it. Just aim without actually pushing the aim button if that makes sense

[@cloudtv7626]

Could you do an outfit guide/tutorial on how to get ur fit?? This one and the one with the slides, I haven’t bought the game yet but I’m thinking about it

[@trellycee]

You should have been doing this bro. Hard wired has always been the best skill build. You can be very versatile between damage and healing and status support

[@slaughterin-allbbnb8766]

ive been running 4 piece HW lately w chest and pack. its doing very very well and numbers are close to same . my haste is 85% and rarely do i ever wait for the cooldown on my seekers because of the HW set abilities. it doesnt just proc on skill use but cancel/destroy as well. if you got the luck for skilled to consistently proc i could see its advantage , i just dont like relying on lucky chance and would be surprised if skilled would proc enough to really really throw considerably more. might have to swap some stuff and compare. nice build and info though bud

[@heinrichvanneel978]

Name ain't nuttinbutskillz for nothing.🤜

[@DarkSpartan062]

I love hardwired. Glad it actually works again. My favorite hardwired build is my all red cc build. Hits hard, skills are back every ten seconds.

[@fokker1138]

I run a 4 piece Hardwire with the BTSU data gloves and Strategic Alignment pack (China Light) and the Surge. I don't have the shotgun yet, but I prefer the area control ability with the hive, the ability to forcibly bring the seekers online, and the Overcharge plus group skill refresh.

[@chunkyjungle]

You can get two damage mods. I use those with one extra mortar. I prefer gold skill build with the Go Bag. Mortar hits a lot harder and sticky bomb with overcharge is sometimes all that is needed to clear a room. My sticky and mortars hit for 4.9mil at skill T6 on challenging. Named M1A to clean up and take heavy's down quicker plus instamelee kill shotty for a little extra fun.

[@CAPT-NIGHTMARE79]

Can you use this build for legendary missions? Change our skills to firefly and pulse jammer? Just wondering

[@jamesmay5700]

I love using the turret obviously, but having endless seekers is dope... i get rushed solo but in a team, this HW build is lovely. I had all the same gear as you in my vault just a couple of lower stats but its fun as hell...

[@crocopeet1900]

But will this deal with those torcher bosses like in Stranded Tanker. Couldn’t get past those at Challenge level with any other build but my dmg one. Everything got kicked to pieces or just didn’t do enough damage to kill them before they killed me.

[@Smintjes]

I have this exact same build, and while it can be fun, solo it’s so much slower than the meta DPS. I tried it out on the boss outside the White House, and although I took him out without a problem it took me about 5 minutes. With my rifle DPS build it takes about 1,5 minutes. That’s why I’m refarming for the skill CC blind build, so much more effective in a group. Like the HW damage build, but solo it’s too slow and in group it isn’t more effective than rifle DPS in the current state of the game imo. Like your content though, keep it up :)

[@ChugginJays]

Smintjes I do same thing bro m. Run a healing hive and firefly and just throw out blind, put down a healing hive and you got your blinds back. Absolutely broken 🤣
