Your summary report at @12:34 is amazing. I really wish more build videos would do something like this. Super helpful! Cheers!

[@helenmckean1682]

Hi iv just come across you about a week ago and you have helped me more than any other on KZbin so just wanted to thank you and keep up the very helpful tips 😊😊😊😊

[@lionroo]

Thank you so much Marco. I appreciate your hard work and your cheerful, and truthful, commentary!

[@ryan0io]

The Santa outfit with the bell emote was priceless. I laughed so hard during this part of the stream.

[@madgola]

Just noticed you add a build picture to these vids. Never noticed that before thats just awesome for a quick ref guide. Props to you!

[@shawnh7235]

Been running this for a month or so. Great advice about the npc's, staying in combat and keeping the stack's. Love the content bro, would love more live streaming. Have only found you streaming once.

[@Mc-Lupo]

Best guide ever! Thx for the help and all the information in detail.

[@percyshepherd5739]

in joyed the video, looking forward to more builds. peace! keep it moving.

[@bigman-uj7xn]

Im attempting to achieve a tank/damage build and this helped a lot. Now I know what to tweak and what to keep thank you!

[@scottelam7865]

thanks Marco for your Striker build video. keep up the good work

[@cbcothren]

love your videos marco! thanks for the tips. i actually do fairly well in the DZ with my PVE striker build.. i like how fast the npcs die.

[@jiggawuhhjiggawho]

New to your channel. Absolutely awesome video! That’ screenshot at the end? Super helpful. Liked, subscribed, and will definitely keep an eye out for your new videos.

[@rkb_8_rah]

wow I had my build very similar to this and never thought to use it now I can make some changes and try it out thanks once again Marco

[@Basti.v89]

Good Channel dude and Really Good Gameplay vids.. One of the favs KZbin by Playing.. Go on Marco

[@YungRolex]

Predatory in the third slot is a 200IQ talent. Must have for solo players and skirmish players.

[@xornedge8204]

Cheeki breeki

[@KodieCollingsGaming]

@Marcostyle Great build choices. I especially like the Strike Back talent synergy. Good to see you using Assault Rifles with your Classified Striker build. On PS4 most players use shotguns and DAMN it is deadly. I just need the Classified Striker gloves and then I think I'll try it with my Bullfrog since the Striker adds stability and The House as my secondary. I like to have two weapon types so I don't run out of ammo frequently.

[@sorrowseal]

There are so many new players who don't have classified yet, it would be great to see such builds using the regular sets.

[@mr.nonederful3314]

he already has a lot of those video's posted from previous patches. All that information is still relevant and you can fine tune any of them with the mods he is recommending here. i.e. you can build a Vig/Specialized HE build rolled for all EDR and Health. Easy peasy. Watch some of the old videos and start trying stuff out.

[@CouchPotato247]

"If you're looking for something fresh, something new, or something unorthodox..... GTFOH." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@frailivan1797]

Well,this is one big minus for Marco,yes,hi is one of the greatist Division teory man,good player,do a lot for this game,help in some way,but his arogance to the "worse player,begginer...etc,and his language...O Marco,you have much to learn in your life!Robert

[@CouchPotato247]

You obviously have never watched him live stream....

[@MisterK9739]

ahaha what you on about? that was a joke. and he is the most supportive big division youtuber. if you want to see an arrogant nerd, go watch likebutter. that dude is cancer

I was waiting for this video long time thank so much

[@benkerry9947]

Build picture. Excellent!

[@oXe2]

I just got back to division 1 and it was killing me, that i couldn’t remember my favorite Division KZbin Account. Found it now through a old saved Reddit post 😅 Hope you are well, Marco ❤

[@darthg3545]

ik moet zeggen je uitleg is altijd goed ... dank je wel

[@toddlofts9310]

Hi Marco, a video regarding non classified builds would be great as people may not have complete sets yet or none at all, but would help understand how to assemble a decent non classified build. Would be great to see those videos appear on your channel. Keep up the great work, love your channel!

[@rogue_507]

That excitement when you se a new Marco video 🙈

[@Dmc841]

Rogue_507 and then the big let down when you realise it’s just another striker build haha

[@rogue_507]

Daniel Mc I didn’t. Play that GE so I’m missing some pices but this vid will help me to build it when I finish

[@beIIsw]

What’s the outfit he has as the thumbnail

[@dreski83]

The definition of melting others... love it!

[@AdamJWM]

I've got the D3 6 piece but have yet to use it. 6 p. Predator is what I'm liking right now. Feels stronger than my 6 Striker. I love the bleed. The D3 was my go to build for a long time though. Great vid!

[@Hawk_-lh4mh]

I love your vids keep them coming..

[@korypeters2059]

Your videos are the best you and widdz are all I hear about out in the division. Playing ps4 GG marco

[@MikeTFresh]

Love your vids!! Thanks dude

[@geygeyedit]

Thks for the old good days, was fun Div dbz super and new baby really thks Marco ❤

[@MachoTTV]

love the build exactly how I use it. :)

[@iSauronx]

Thank you bro keep it up 👏👏

[@pyroscot]

Very smart play there dude

[@christianalexander4844]

Marco, first off, I’d like to say I’m a fan of your work. Your videos really help when I try to go after a certain build, need some guidance on a particular activity, etc. I quit playing playing The Division awhile back and I’m still easing my way back into it and I was wondering if this specific build would work in PvE as well. I’m not a PvP player, however I do love using Striker. If it does work, would you let me know please? If not, could you make a video on a solo PvE Striker build? Keep up the good work!

[@rolandstierli5207]

Hi Marco, 1st of all thanks a lot I really like your stream... I really helps a lot to get a better understanding of the game. One thing I build my classified striker like your best in slot guide.... but I lose almost any gun fight in the DZ.... I don't know if I did anything wrong....

[@thebritish85max85]

Great video marco as allways....

[@Borzzilla]

the goat has uploaded my day is better now

[@rickyboy7569]

Once again a good video... Thx

[@inspectaPOV]

Awesome vid!

[@warrenjiang9326]

3:21 what the heck? XD Marco’s build is so strong. Back tank so many shots

[@AnthropicUniverse.]

Man i just finished watching the D3FNC video from Dec

[@genarocobianjr6983]

Nice build!👍🏽

[@michelinman6370]

Marco: "Then a then a then get the Fuck out of here" Gordon Ramsay: *"IT'S FUCKING RAW"*

[@ericbing8636]

Thanks for the suggestions m8

[@BarbuDoruAlexandru]

Good video !

[@stozov2]

This is why i sub your inro ia honest and str8 to the point lol.Also im newley back so this new build to me from trusted source

[@Pardonmydust]

My secondary m4 has sustained and predatory with responsive in the free slot. Gotta have at least one utility m4 so you can still burst with stacks if you need to.

[@liandrovsk]

hey Marco your channel is helping a lot. started the division about a week ago, and a full classified set is a pain... better place to farm them it's dz bosses, do you have a 4 piece build or another kind of build good to solo this bosses easy at ilvl around 280 ?

[@Alan-zf1xj]

Now, if only my RNG was half decent.

[@blackhawksfan2525]

Haha. Everybody who plays The Division could say the same thing.

[@repeddie1]

I farmed the dz for 5 hrs and not a single classy

[@xBIRDY]

Eddie Esp grind the resistance wave 8 strat, if you don't get bored you'll get easy classifieds fast

[@xsup-]

farm resistance bro, i get one classy every 20min, sometimes even 2

[@lukas753331]

even in resistance RNG can be shitty..like the only two sets I actually want are the striker and the sentry..and I have only 3 pieces from each set..it sucks :/

[@Squitzofren]

Excelent!

[@Dundatta258]

I'm going to try this

[@Kaitaru89]

Very nice setup, I'd love to see a Pred and possibly some solo and/or updated lone star variations for PvP :D. I've taken a really big liking to lone star after returning to the game after a year break. Currently running a hybrid electronics build at 5k/5k/6.3k with dual Big Alejandro's due to the sustain problems LS faces in solo/pvp groups without a healer. Curious if you could optimize a LS build from the sets front loaded damage bonuses and get some more survive ability with stacking sustain talents/weapon abilities and lowering firearms in favor for electronics and stam :x.

[@TheMARKofBLADEz]

Love striker iv made a good few vids on it. I feel it's the one set out of the three op sets that takes skill to use. Well on console anyway

[@thetriplea9928]

Having Big Al as secondary works out decently as well.

[@GRUMPY656799]

100 thumbs up for your picture....... like always thanks!!!!!

[@pauloyuri926]

wi Will like to see you again in DV1

[@pyromarlie6053]

Has anyone else had the bug wear you can't shoot or reload? Has buggerd up my last manhunt. Nice video man man all I need is the last thing I need is AR gloves am having to make do with SMG

[@jryde99]

Yup

[@whereisrvggie]

just switch weapons to fix

[@hunt3r1979]

Best opening intro yet...

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

Nice tips.

[@danbalaban1558]

thanks, great video. Can you speak to any cooldown reduction you get? I know you said strikeback procs are helpful, especially with the healing from the 6pc. anything else? Asking b/c you don't mod or role for skill haste anywhere.

[@brunops2009]

Marco The King of Builds *-*

[@Dundatta258]

I made a crit build for stryker but I'm thinking about trying this out it makes alot of sense plus the exotic resilience stamina is out to purchase

[@mansterrage1269]

holy crap. is this 4 years old already? i recently got into this game again. i am really enjoying pvp this time. weird i know.

[@Andreas_S]

Hey Marco, great video as always. Thanks for your work. just for my understanding, striker buffs, unforgiving and competent are all, all weapon dmg % buff and are additive together, aren't they? so we build here (best or worst case) 100% (striker) + 25% (unforgiving) + 10% (competent) + 12% ( AR dmg from the gloves) = +147% weapon dmg ((* 10% responsive)) so the real increase from competent is variable depending on the other stacks, but same goes for the other weapon telents left to choose from ...

[@murk3439]

Guys i recommend using a sasg 12 k with striker as with the 6 piece you get 16 or so stacks per shot and im able to 3 shot most people with the right talents

[@el-low6663]

Easy Gamer lol pop shot is for newbie who want to learn the striker set BUT m4, bullfrog or the house is a melt machine if you play in close and struggle quarter (or long one for the m4)

[@simongillblad6740]

Nice, wish I didnt miss out on the global event that gave out striker.

[@JoseyOaks]

Simon Gillblad all the GE events will be available again. They are on rotation. So in a perfect world striker should be after this next event. And again in a perfect world that should be in February.

[@JoseyOaks]

Adam Mitchell it took a friend of mine over 125 to get all the striker. But only 68 for me...RNG is nuts.

[@madmat1652]

Sorry im kinda new, what are you talking about? I got strikers purely from looting dark zone, is there striker 2.0 or sth?

[@simongillblad6740]

Jeffrey Hanner Well 4th global event in late January, 1th global event hopefully in late feb, and then striker in late mars in a perfect world.

[@misagc]

Hey man, great vid as always. Can you add a title to the equip details sheet so those like me that stack many know what build orientation it is? Thank you!

[@thinkb4uspeak10]

Just came back to the game on console after 2 years of not playing and have a couple questions. What is the best gear set for console? How many total points can be allocate between the three main attributes? How do you take advantage of gun talents with two attribute builds? Seems like you'd lose out on talents that need the third attribute.

[@Theory-T]

IT'S HERE YEEEEES

[@aizengaard9303]

YAY! Another Division video! ...Your like a really good comedian that tells the same joke all the time 😂😥

[@XtrmGht]

Thx to you - i have fun to look at your vids and like it everytime - very fascinating :-) greetings iTz_Xtr3m3

[@consolegamer8871]

Anyone else think that they should come out with classified high end pieces and exotics have 1401 max stat rolls so high end and hexo builds can still compete. Now yellow drops feel like purple drops unless there sealed caches in the dz for div tech.

[@adamcooper7936]

Kevin N I think you should be able to optimise it up to 1401.

[@consolegamer8871]

Adam Cooper agreed

[@MisterK9739]

that would throw all classified sets outta the meta and straight in the trash, cause you will get ninjabike builds with far more utility and the same stats

[@hernandez9350]

I think they should change the color of classified

[@immortalredneck1259]

Pumped Cookie agreed u just don’t know if its a classified from the light beams

[@Rawrshuga]

Hey Marco, have you considered trying Self-preserved on that? Given the damage boosts you're getting the health on crits could give you a little more staying power.

[@battlecats9366]

godly

[@Dani94W]

Lol Peterthefarmer killed me On Saturday 2 Times... I think we have been on the same Server... This would probably explain why I was dying all the time. 😀 Cool build! Keep up the awesome work Marco!!

[@REDAHAFEZ1]

I use predatory and determined on my sidearm And the Talent that when u kill someone gives u 30 extra ammo for the main weapon so when I knock someone I finish them with my sidearm and get all those bonuses

[@Dean-ui5js]

My build is 6k stamina 6k Firerams with emphasis on skill haste. Is a fire turret and healing station along with two assault rifles... either a bullfrog/M8 or two M8s. Will occasionally use a showstopper. Liking the classy striker build a lot especially in the underground where I’m a hybrid healer/DPS. Use it also in the DZ

[@AA-ur4dg]

I like how you kill someone who is knocked out and give that sound effect for the extra "punch"

[@3hk301]

F to the division it was great while it lasted always miss Marcos videos.

[@Metzgerchef]

A little help Working on builds that Arnt classified would be helpful. I know classys r the most powerful but their a little self explanatory when it comes to build videos. Love your content and am looking forward to more division stuff

[@el-low6663]

alex metzger hexo build is the best if you don't have ANY classified

[@carloslovato8923]

Grailer Grailer try out a sticky build you can heal team and sticky is super good at doing damage bulletproof chest piece inventive backpack and 4 piece tack best sticky build until 6 piece tack comes out

[@tearharvester]

if you slap 2 nomad on with the 4 striker it helps alot to since you get the HP on kill

[@imcnblu]

Hexo with 4800 firearms, 4800 stamina, 5500+ electronics (for strong heals, etc.) Chest- Vigorous or Barrett Mask- Refreshed Knees- Shortbow (or a classified kneepad for a higher main stat if you don't have Shortbow) Backpack - Specialized Gloves- Skull MC Holster- Col. Bliss, Nimble, or a Classified holster from a different set, so that you don't lose the Skull MC bonus. Get as much Skill Haste and Exotic Damage Resilience as you can. That's gonna be about as good as it gets outside of a 6pc Classified set. Some decently optimized Ninja Bike Messenger Backpack combo builds are okay, too. Banshee/Tactician hybrids can hold their own in the DZ. But, against any good player with a Classified build, you *will* be at a statistical disadvantage.

[@thetute59]

In pve just get the holster which gives you hp regen upon cover-to-cover moves. Worked for me til I got classi striker.

[@Schroedb87]

So real question man because I just built this tonight finally...what are you thoughts running a Midas with this for pvp? Would they counteract eachother??

[@romel1018]

That help me a lot Tx I'm just strong like your character I killed a 4 man group

[@19JByrne]

i bought the division just recently and these videos are great cause the game never really gives a good description on what you should aiming to do with your gear

[@francopessina9717]

MarcoStyle=Stability

[@lRomez]

Yay another PVP build

[@DinoH8sU]

Marco, what’s your opinion on using famas with striker do to the native stability? Would it add more burst over m4 ?

[@JohnWB86]

In the video you have stamina on your mask and vest, but on the build you did on divisionbuilds.github.io you say 4 firearms 1 stamina roll. What is the better way to go. Thx

[@psnegdod8886]

What should the Crit Chance to Damage ratio be? 1:2 or 1:3? How does it truly work to get the best result?

[@anthonyarellano9612]

Would you rather have Unforgiving & Deadly or Responsive & Deadly?(talents on the house)

[@damianvanveen7566]

Marco, I can't get competent on my damn weapon... Whats the secondary choice? (Console)

[@RadwegbloggerDO1]

Interesting as ever Mr. 20k

[@theoriginalstud8641]

Marco, I just recently got a pc in November and was curious if I should buy this game on PC, I am a very good player on console and always wanted to play on pc.

[@axxlh]

I either use full nomad or 3 piece pred, 2 piece nomad + ninja bike backpack

[@Jegern]

I have not tried out this myself, but maybe you know the answer: The canned food consumable gives 40% healing effect for a short time, does this accually work on the striker healing stacks as well?

[@cameroncolclough885]

my striker build is beast!!! mostly crit damage and crit chance but my health regen is mad good aswell

[@KikoMakai]

Just coming back to the game... what's the best way to farm this set?

[@natecollins5275]

Just got my 6 piece striker and as fun as it is and the survivability.(definitelya little op) I want someone to try this. 3 striker 2 banshee ninja bag. As you will not get the healing from the 6 piece striker and it’s a little harder to keep your stacks. The pure dmg from the banshee and only one gear rolled to stam. The thing shreds if you know how to stay alive. I will mostly likely run the 6 piece most the time but striker banshee in pve with a group is just too much fun.

[@guiKmargo10]

The best !!!!!
