The Division | Complete SMG Weapon Modding Guide

[@richykid9631]

Marco, seriously I like these videos, but you are a saving grace with the screenshots to download. I usually take a pic with my phone lol. Thanks man +1000

[@heptikfeed7328]

This isn't building or modding guides, this is meta creating videos. Thanks for helping create another meta so we can all pretty much have to run this now or we will be at a disadvantage.

[@TeeJayLoko]

Thank you so much. I've saw an outstanding performance with alpha bridge smg build

[@KINGJAYPARISH]

Amazing video I was just looking for a video like this one omg so helpful 💯

[@andyperez7970]

55% chc 136% chd with mp7 shreds

[@craigmack8580]

Same here, glad not everyone gave up on the mp7 lol

[@AhmedIbrahim-bv4eb]

love all your guides, your pictures are my game manual thx mate it's time to clean that stash box

[@MatrixProHD]

Thanks for the help Marco! My crit build is insanely unstoppable

[@romainebarrett5778]

I don't build videos, so no one will know this. I came up with the exact list of weapon talents for my SMGs, they go hard. Thanks for the validation Marco.

[@LetsGet_It_Don]

Thanks Marco I was just looking for a good video on smgs!

[@silvergrin6_25]

wow I have always been an assault rifle guy and I have a few smg's in my loot. but after this I really need to work on what I got. thanks awesome video

[@estelloneto7644]

I never played RPG before, and I never thought a game could be that complicated! Oh my gosh! Thanks for the video Marco, I'll try to watch this 2348209358903480 times to get how these things works!

[@WisomofHal]

I love making smg builds Marco even did so in 1.5 when they weren't as popular but awesome breakdown in this video man love watching your breakdown content 👍🏾👍🏾💯🔥

[@RazgrizRaptor]

thanks for making this Marco, I recently got a MP5, it's rolls aren't the best but at least I can now make the mods for when I do get the perfect SMG, I'm hoping that it'll still work decently while running that healer build you mentioned a few videos back. ^^

[@calebvenari6096]

Awesome Vid as usual, one of the few youtube channels I check daily :D

[@mudomudito]

I really love the way you edit videos, so friendly user

[@RowkerA237]

Great video, really nice touch with the downloadable resources!

[@TheReaL35]

As always. Thank you Marco..you are the man

[@rpgquester]

Yes finally! Can't wait for the others

[@KONinJapan]

Well done as usual Marco, bravo! 👏

[@TheMiredas]

Excited to see your opinions on year 2, im sure you'll cover it.

[@SmiledElf]

Just watched this and wanted to thank you for explaining things so well :)

[@QUIKT20]

You sir always put out great content.

[@MastermindsHD]

Quality content once again!

[@mr.nonederful3314]

I miss your videos man. Here's hoping someday we get a solid TD2 and Marco can break it all down for us again.

[@staticnexus893]

Got my Barret vest last night from exotic cach. it had godly rolls. high firearms, Slightly over average armour, Health on kill, ammo capacity, and rerolled for hp.

[@ArmandoLopez-pj5ck]

My favorite youtuber for the division

[@EternalTotem]

this is so good I love this videos. I would love to see you make a sidearm video for determining gun is best for a shield build and what mods of any.

[@JamesSYoungJr]

Can we PLEASE! get a LMG Weapon Modding Guide. I remember when you did the Assault Riffle Weapon Modding Guide last year and we ask for a LMG follow up.

[@J4J4Z]

James S. Young Jr. agreed cause I'm big on LMG

[@patrickdubeau2013]

Great video Marco! Very instructive. Next up : LMGs? ;)

[@dirtyharry1247]

Marco you are the man. Thank you

[@skyraker813]

nice deep depth analysis

[@SugarTouch]

Marksman Rifles guide please for full coverage :) You're doing great job for our's lazy bottoms ! :)))

[@jhu1928]

good vid marco, keep it up

[@jsanch5261]

Thanks really gonna help me out a lot !!

[@topcat69er]

Marco, you da MVP. That is all.....

[@michaeldivito4828]

Great video man!

[@richykid9631]

Which would you run in primary and secondary for AB smg build??? MP5 ST, 20.50% CHC 18.1k bullet dam, fierce, destructive, vicious Navy MP5 18.50% CHC, 17.1K bullet dam, unforgiving, competent, responsive. 52.50% CHC with MP5 ST 47.5% CHC with Navy MP5

[@marcbutterhof5199]

deadly is working all the time! with 50% chc it's around 8% damage boost.. no need for using a skill or get in with 10 meters.. so I think deadly is the best talent for smgs.. goede video trouwens ;)

[@RedChiefAI]

Thank you for very usefull information.

[@ifritrising1239]

awesome, thanks for sharing !!!

[@cjpsmachado]

great keep on the good work and thank you for your time

[@travissarathompson4017]

Love this guy....

[@toolrage69]

I agree with everything you say except Competent. Not saying competent is a bad talent, but it is situational and with low skill power there is a lot of downtime when you can't pop a skill in pvp, and because of that I think it would even out with deadly which would be always active. Now a skill build with 6-12 second cooldowns, that is a different story, and competent becomes your best friend. For example I think my heal on my dps character has around 40 second cooldown, so I would have roughly 25 seconds when I'm getting no bonus from a weapon talent which is a long time in a prolonged pvp fight.

[@jAyT18]

toolrage69 use recon pulse and your good

[@joshua151291]

That year 2 content release is basically GG to this game.

[@Bazyzzy]

Amazing video! Marco, can u create a video explaining armor sets? In terms of math and formulas, that would be really useful

[@yesca-crew8186]

Very good video 🤘🏽

[@dr.sig.advogado]

Very good vídeo man

[@BBouks]

@MarcoStyleNL you need to do this for all weapons!

[@digitalphury26]

Thx u this video is very informative.

[@Avalon304]

Cant wait for the LMG version of this...

[@martinedelius]

I watched your latest video where you mentioned your frustration with Massive and that you're thinking of quitting TD and stop making videos about it. I understand your frustration but I just wanted to let you know that as a casual PvE player, your videos (like this one) have help me immensly and I get a lot more enjoyment out of the game now, knowing how to spec and what to look for in gear. I'll be sad to see you gone, if you do choose to leave TD.

[@austinpowers83]

Most people say after 1.6 Alpha Bridge is weakened a lot so it is not wise to select. I am surprised you go with that set. I like PvE and play openly without hiding cover to cover so I am playing with D3-FNC, distracting enemys for my teammates shoot freely. I am using PP-99 with 111 bullets right now, similar to your mods. I got lots of SMG's even exotics such as tommy gun and Midas but their base DMG is way lower than PP-99. Example: PP-99 base DMG is around 174.000 with aroung 6.000 Firearms. Talents are accurate, brutal, responsive. Others have around 130.000, I am not in to the game as you do, but it seems PP-99 is better than exotics, am I wrong?? PS: Sorry for long message.

[@RetiredAgent80]

you just talked about the build i already got, lol, look at my videos i been running this same build for a while now, GG marco, nice vid man, for once i agree with you!!!.... re subbed

[@gwlaw99]

18% headshot damage is the best scope if you can get an MP5 ST. Especially with FNC

[@TearProductionDE]

Another great video! Thank you for that. Will you make such videos for other types of weapons? Would help enormously for a casual player like me to understand and get better at Division :)

[@Herringboner]

Well done!! Been struggling at last Stand until I raised my firearms to 7000 and stamina 5000. It's the magic numbers to face trade with striker mp7 modded like your video. Now my lame ass is near the top on the board every match.

[@ODST_Parker]

I have an MP5 ST with Responsive, Deadly, and Competent in the free slot, and I've been dying to use it. It's too bad they changed the mod system so each mod has a set stat. I always put on mods half for their stats and half for looks. I love suppressors on low profile weapons like SMGs, but now that they're not innate crit damage anymore, the crit chance small suppressor won't cut it. They should bring back random mods, where any scope could roll the same as any other, but still keep the same major and minor stat system.

[@tatumtanuvasa200]

thank you so much for this. this is exactly what I was looking for. currently running 3 piece Alphabridge for the 5% weapon DMG. I was also experimenting with my Navy MP5 and decided to go with a small magazine but with 11.10% fire rate. I also have hurried on it so I'm melting people faster with my 1 second reloads. Lmk what you think

[@DesertScooter]

Great video. You're probably way ahead of me on this request, but are you going to do one for Assault Rifles? I've been mostly a PvE'r since this game came out, but I'm looking at getting into PvP now. I got an LVOA-C I really like using, but don't know how to correctly gear it out.

[@eo0]

Im just setting right in my room watching division videos and get really excited but when i actually play it affff ☹️ whos like me

[@SlickSodaProductions]

MarcoStyle I know you aren't there yet, but can you make a mod guide to LMGs?

[@7elche]

Marco, would you recommend a 3 piece Banshee, 2 piece Predator with the Ninga Bag? This would mean 7% less of crit chance for missing the SAVAGE globes. Or maybe a 2/2 with NINJA and SAVAGE? Just not sure what is better, the 7% Crit Chance or the extra 10%- 20% damage to rogues and 10% protection from non rogues, when rogue.

[@TinyT0ny]

aww dang, now they know .... ^^ the obvious thing, hehe

[@fasteddys906]

Wish you still were making div 1 vids.

[@guyswartwood3924]

I really, really love your SMG and AR modding guides. Are you going to release on for marksmen rifles? If not, is it because you don't play with them much or is it because it may be more obvious to mod them with HSD, crit chance and crit damage?

[@redgar252]

I believe that my extended mag rate of fire bonus actually has a 4.9% for min instead of the 5.1% listed in this video. I could be wrong, I don't have my PS4 turned on right now, and certainly not a bit deal. Just wanted to point it out.

[@redgar252]

...and great video by the way. Love the production values on these videos. Do you have someone to assist you with the video production or does Marco do it all himself? Either way, much respect.

[@seanglasgow5809]

Great vid! But what gun should i use this guide for if i was planning to PvP? MP7?

[@otrovakruf]

Mag size max role is 111% at this moment. There is legacy mags with higher roles.

[@SamJ-hi7rz]

I know that Marko is one of the best players in the game and surely knows what he's doing, but as great as hurried is I'd prefer to have my skulls MC gloves on with a high end/exotic mix of gear. It just seems much more powerful and I drop people much faster. Barret's chest piece, Ferro's mask (because fuck flame turrets), specialised backpack, skulls MC gloves, short bow kneepads and nimble holster. Works great for me as a console player

[@partybwoy8521]

Sam J right

[@joshdumont4928]

Sam J refreshed mask for me, it let's me not have to spec into electronics as much so I can focus on health or firearms

[@SamJ-hi7rz]

Josh Dumont I use the refreshed mask PvE. But PvP I tend to do better with Ferro's mask because of the airburst seeker and the flame turrets

[@joshdumont4928]

Sam J yea it's a fucking pain, I usually just fuck off when people use that garbage, people feel obligated to engage all the time but if they want to camp on a turret they can fuck themselves I'm leaving

[@josephsaade526]

great video Marco. will u be putting up a pve build video anytime soon?

[@Chris223324]

Good video Marco :) Any recommendations for a Defense build user? I'm really uncertain how much firearms/health/eletronics ii should roll with? (I mostly play last stand)

[@GoomiLad96]

Marco I think xbox and pc are different, for example crit chance can not be rolled onto a holster on xbox, also magazine sizes dont go to 120 percent

[@GoomiLad96]

MarcoStyle Thanks heaps mate your a legend keep it up

[@Loyal2law]

Quick question for the Division community: will this work on D3-Fence gear set? Or should I spec my gear towards electronics?

[@thesidhu011]

I would argue that deadly is better than competent as you are always getting the CRIT damage boost. especially if you are running a high firearms build where you can't unlock both unforgiving and competent.

[@joshdumont4928]

thesidhu011 competent gives more damage to everything though, base dmg, headshot dmg, and crit dmg

[@slapchop7166]

They stated in the last SotG that the lvl 34 magazine size will never roll past 112%

[@linga730]

I personally think the god roll for smh is with deadly instead of competent. Because competent only comes into action when you pop a skill. Deadly is always active

[@fresnoliving5593]

agnilswag 730 i run almost all my smgs with deadly,responsive,competent

[@sejobotonjic9630]

i use right the same mods on my mp7 like on ur mp5 since 1.6 came out. if u understand the game thats the only logic decision. got 51.5 cc and 112 cd. whit a max roll of 18.4 k of possible 18.5k and 22% cc base. talents, deadly, responsive and fierce. ill love it and melt enemies in last stand

[@beni6216]

I play on console so it's harder for most of us to hit headshots. So I stacked critical hit chance and crit damage on my LVOA-C and it still melt pretty quick in last stand and the dark zone

[@mad2342yt]

Think the comparrison between competent and deadly is flawed, as you will not have competent available as much, especially without specing into skill haste, while deadly will be available the whole time...

[@yuhanuncitgez5863]

4 minutes after upload rip me Kappa I'm so late XD

[@yuhanuncitgez5863]

MarcoStyle XD. Yeah lol. Looking forward to the stream... got some people to take care off XD

[@yuhanuncitgez5863]

MarcoStyle aight lol. I'll be there at 8:30 then kinda not home XD

[@eeLgniM]

marco succ mien kuk

[@eeLgniM]

go play ps4 u fucking pleb

[@yuhanuncitgez5863]

eeLgniM haven't played in 2 months. LOL.

[@thelevoychannel4594]

Hi Marco, great job. I just started to play the game in patch 1.5 and Enemy armor dam. was something useful. Do you think it's still useful in PVE. Also, would you consider you Assault Rifle mod guide still optimal? Cheers!

[@ianfowler7787]

I've got to disagree with this logic. Running increased fire rate on a gun that already has a large mag size like a pp-19 is a better play than extending the mag more. It gives you more burst dmg on a gun that has a high per bullet dmg.

[@jacobnelson1698]

Hey can we have some more pvp/more dark zone or could you restart the hole game and beat it all solo on hard mode and stream it?

[@gnosticguardian6449]

which SMG do you suggest? I'm still always a fan for the Navy MP5 or MP7, I see you using the UMP style. Also would you make any changes to your build guide for Assault rifles for 1.6? I'm looking for a strong balanced solo build, Assault rifle for PvE and SMG for PvP. A solo DZ build.

[@TheJimmy14]

Marco can I also use this in PvE? If not are you gonna (or is there already) make a PvE build guide? It would be great. And as always great video!

[@vertigo_one]

No one runs enough points for 4800 stamina anymore in PvP so unforgiving is out unless you have AB or 3rd slot.

[@Lt_Vice]

This has nothing to do with SMG, bit since you're a know KZbin figure I hope you address this issue. I noticed over a few days of playing Last Stand that there are player point boosting instead of actually playing the matches. It's killing the experience on many levels and as usual turning decent player away from even attempting to play it.

[@melodyman1882]

"An Really that shits not gonna HIT THAT HARD" LMAO

[@Ryknex]

Why not optimal range a better option instead of accuracy in Small grip? I'm not sure about how Opt Range works in the game though, but having tiny bit of range ..tiny bit might be a little advantage r8? also I'd like to know how much is your Crit Hit Damage all total? with that build

[@iLiKeEnRiX]

Hey, nice video but I am missing something: At 11:00 you say that we expect to have 120% CHD with this build, but I only get around 90% CHD. I don't know how to get more, and I don't understand how you got it. What am I missing?

[@shakeelaredred9867]

hey marco, with patch 1.8 and all does your guide on smg still valid when selecting weapon talents? mainly for the exotic "the House". can you provide some insight on what talents we should look for if per say were going for a tank build(D3FNC set mainly )

[@Iryerris]

What do you say about the Self-Preserved talent? Is that useful at all, or does the added sustain just not outweigh the loss of damage?

[@partybwoy8521]

the mdr is a monster I'm 3 tapping people WI pulse . I played destiny from year1 up to it drying out IE my scout rifle game is on point so yh try the mdr

[@kadenneust941]

For the holster it was saying that critical chance wasn't a option

[@panz3r696]

any build videos coming soon ? all 3 of my characters are junk and drop like flies since 1.6 😦

[@iraqiboy90]

Marcostyle, OFFTOPIC, what program did you use to design and animate the lists and numbers you were showing in this video?

[@slparsons2010]

I've never been this early.

[@dariusmaye]

Seems more of a PVP build. If I would like to have two separate smg builds for PVE and PVP would this build work for both? Plus how does this work for the D3FNC players?

[@nickfigueroa868]

Simple question. The CHC is capped at 60% and CHD is capped at 120? Right ?

[@colemansworld]

What is the name of the appearance stuff you have on @ 11:47 in the video?!?!?!? I've been looking all over!!!!! as most the dudes in my Last Stand games say "Plz Halp" :P

[@MasterOfBasara]

I'm assuming that if you're running an all High-End build that the Skulls MC gloves would be a better pick-up than the Savage gloves, correct?

[@dooziexx123]

I would think so since Skulls give a flat 16% damage increase.

[@naveed5047]

MasterOfBasara Definitely. That's a no-brainer.

[@manishpun]

MasterOfBasara with skulls MC gloves you can't run any gear-sets.

[@naveed5047]

manish pun That's why he said 'all high end build'.

[@digitalillustration604]

And roll SMG damage on it.
