What is a Division 2 Build?

In Division 2, builds represent a specific arrangement of weapons, gear, skills, and stats selected by the player to prepare the character with the best equipment for certain PvE or PvP encounters. Also known as "setups" or "loadouts," builds are divided into multiple categories based on the purpose they are used for.

Like any looter-shooter, Division 2 has a complex character progression system that revolves around different weapons, gear, skills, and various end-game activities that automatically require specific builds to be prepared and taken care of.

In this guide, we will go into detail through all these builds and categories so you can easily decide on the best build for your Division 2 character.

My build-making experience in The Division games

As a Day One Division Agent, I proudly consider myself one of the most dedicated players that had the opportunity to try out and experience the amazing universe that this franchise brought to the looter-shooter scene over the past six years. At this point, I have invested over 10000 hours in The Division games, and I spent most of my time trying to figure out the best builds for different PvE and PvP scenarios.

Due to the games' complexity, things constantly change, and so do the meta builds. I have personally tested dozens of builds in TD2, so it's safe to say that I know all the tips and tricks on build-making and min-maxing in the game. In this guide, I want to share the best Division 2 builds to use nowadays, in 2024. PvE or PvP, I got your back, Agent!

What is a Division 2 build made of?

The core elements of a Division 2 build are:

  • The Weapons
  • The Gear
  • The Skills
  • The Stats & Attributes
  • The Mods
  • The Specialization

These are the key components you must focus on when creating a build for your character. When these elements are wisely chosen and put together, they create a synergy that will reflect your build's power and capability.

Note: Please keep in mind that in Division 2, the gearing for the end-game builds comes as a package with the grinding for the rarest items or mods out there. So if you aim high, get ready for some serious time investments, and rest assured that it's worth it, by all means. The rare items used in the best Division 2 builds are real game-changers!

The Division 2 Weapons

In Division 2, weapons play a huge role when choosing the perfect build for your character. You have access to various weapon types, so the game covers it all, whether you prefer a close-combat playstyle or sniping the enemies from long distances. There are plenty of weapons to choose from and use for your favorite builds.

You can use three types of weapons in the game: high-end weapons, named weapons (better variants of the standard weapons), and exotic weapons. Your character comes with three weapon slots so that you can equip and use up to three weapons in your builds at the same time: 2 primary weapons and a secondary sidearm.

Now let's see what weapons are the best to use for your loadout based on the combat style. We'll briefly go through the main weapon types and see the correlation between the weapons and the playstyle they imply.

Below you can find the main weapon types you can choose from in the game:

  • Assault Rifles: best for medium-long range combat
  • Rifles: best medium-long range combat
  • Marksman Rifles: exclusively for long-range combat
  • Submachine Guns: best for close combat
  • Light Machine Guns: for medium-long range combat
  • Shotguns: exclusively for close combat
  • Sidearms: best for close combat

If you are looking for the best exotics, the most popular Division 2 exotic weapons in 2024 are:

  • Eagle Bearer: the best raid weapon for the assault rifle DPS builds
  • Ouroboros: the best exotic SMG in the game, perfect for close-combat builds
  • St Elmo's Engine: the best weapon for most of the DPS builds
  • The Regulus: the best weapon for pistol builds
  • Scorpio: the best weapon for close-combat DPS and support builds
  • Capacitor: the best assault rifle for skill builds
  • Mantis: the best marksman rifle for sniper builds
  • Pestilence: the best LMG for DPS and support builds

So once you figure out what type of playstyle you prefer, choose the best weapon type for your build. To optimize your build, you have to make sure you use the best weapons with the proper stats and talents.

The Gear

Like the weapons, in Division 2, players get to choose from various gear for their builds, such as Brand Sets, Gear Sets, and Exotic Armor. There are six gear slots that you must fill in with the best variants for your build: mask, backpack, chest, gloves, holster, and kneepads.

The game has improved a lot since its launch, so nowadays, you have the opportunity to choose from 20 Gear Sets and 30 Brand Sets when going for that perfect build for your character. All these armor sets come with unique set bonuses and talents, which is a significant factor in the build diversity the Division 2 players face.

There are many cases when the players get discouraged when they find out there are so many gearing options available in the game, and they don't know what to choose out of all these armors, where to start from, or how to mix and match the items when working on their builds. To make it easier, we'll briefly go through the best exotic armor and gear sets used in the ongoing meta.

The most popular Division 2 gear sets in 2024 are:

  • Striker Set: best for assault rifle and SMG builds
  • Heartbreaker Set: ideal for assault rifle and LMG DPS builds
  • Negotiator's Dilemma Set : best for legendary content builds
  • Hunter's Fury Set: best for SMG builds
  • Foundry Bulwark Set: best for tank builds
  • Future Initiative Set: exclusively for healer builds
  • Eclipse Protocol Set: best for status effect builds
  • Rigger Set: the perfect choice for skill builds

As for the best exotics, the most popular exotic armor items used in the 2024 meta builds are:

  • Memento: the best exotic backpack in the game
  • Ninja Messenger Backpack: best-in-slot backpack for hybrid builds
  • Waveform: the best holster for skill builds
  • Coyote's Mask: the best exotic mask for firearm builds
  • Vile Mask: the perfect choice for status effect builds
  • Catharsis Mask: ideal for PvP builds
  • Tardigrade: the best exotic chest for tank builds
  • BTSU Datagloves: the best gloves for healer builds

This is the main reason we created this guide: to make your build-making experience a lot easier. Later in the guide, we will show you exactly what items to combine to create some of the best Division 2 builds in 2024. On top of that, if you ever encounter any difficulty getting the desired items for your builds, we provide boosting services as well, so you can buy Division 2 Exotics or God Roll Farming and complete your builds in no time!

The Skills in Division 2

Now that we've covered the weapons and the gear, it's time to move on to the next aspect you must focus on when creating your Division 2 build: the Skills you will be using. There are 11 skills you can choose from in the game, each having multiple variants. Though the character comes with only two skill slots, so you can equip and use a maximum of 2 skills at any given time.

However, you have the freedom to combine ANY two of the skills available in the game, as no restrictions are forcing you to use a particular skill based on your equipped loadout or stats. We won't insist too much on this aspect right now as we'll get more into details when showcasing the builds and the best skills to use for each of them.

Here are some of the skills that you can use in Division 2:

skills overview

Division 2 Specializations

Moving on to the following key component: The Specialization. Each specialization has its skill tree that unlocks a unique signature weapon, unique skills, skill mods, and a special type of grenade related to the specialization build. Based on the desired build you want to focus on, there are six specializations you can choose from:

Specialization Name Signature Weapon Skill Variant Grenade Type
Sharpshooter TAC-50 Sniper Tactician Drone Flashbang Grenade
Demolitionist Grenade Launcher Artillery Turret Fragmentation Grenade
Survivalist Crossbow Mender Seeker Mine Incendiary Grenade
Gunner Minigun Banshee Pulse Riot Foam Grenade
Technician Missile Launcher Artificer Hive EMP Grenade
Firewall Flamethrower Striker Shield Cluster Grenade

Talents, Attributes & Mods

At this stage, we approach the fine-tuning of the build. What comes next focuses mainly on min-maxing and getting the optimal stats for the build. In Division 2, each item has a core attribute, and by case, 1 or 2 secondary attributes. Apart from the attributes, the items can also come with talents, which are special bonuses that improve specific weapon or armor stats.

Items can also be socketed with mods. There are two types of mods based on the item type: gear mods and weapon mods. Players use the mods to improve the stats on the desired items. We call the "best-in-slot" or "perfect" gear piece the item with the best talent, the perfect attributes, and the best mod for a particular build. A build is 100% optimal only when you have the right talents, stats, and mods on your items.

What is the fastest way to create a build in Division 2 in 2024?

Once you've figured out all the items that you need for your build, it's time to get to work and start farming for them. Now let's see where you can find the required items for your builds.

When the game was released, going for specific items was a pain. There was no targeted loot, so you were dealing with a ridiculous RNG factor as any enemy could have dropped any item in the game. Nowadays, in 2024, with new activities and features such as Countdown or The Summit, build-making in Division 2 has become a lot easier.

Now, the fastest way to get items in Division 2 is to use the targeted loot feature in Countdown and The Summit activities. Here, you can select the desired item type to drop as targeted loot upon killing enemies. So basically, you can filter the drops you will be getting by weapon type, armor slot, brand set, gear set, or mods.

Example: Let's say you are looking for a particular exotic mask, Coyote's Mask. To increase the odds of dropping this exotic mask, you must select the desired item slot – in this case, masks. You will notice that all the named enemies will drop masks as targeted loot, which speeds up getting your desired mask. Once you get the desired item, you can reset the selected targeted loot at any time by accessing the menu and targeting the next one, and so on.

targeted loot in the summit

Exception: The only exceptions here are the raid-exclusive items that drop only in the raids (The Eagle Bearer, The Ravenous, and Regulus) and the crafted items locked behind exotic quests (such as Nemesis, Liberty, and Ridgeway's Pride). You can still drop the items that belong to the second category as targeted loot, but only after you would have already crafted them at the crafting station.

Apart from the two game modes, another targeted loot feature is available in the Open World. In this case, you complete Control Points and Missions on the highest difficulties possible. You can still maintain it as a farming process, but the downside is that you cannot change the loot type by yourself. Each zone or mission on the map has its own targeted loot that resets on a 24-hour cooldown.

Regardless of what method you prefer the most, make a list of all the items required for your build and farm for them as targeted loot one by one until your loadout is complete. Now that you know the best ways to obtain the gear and create loadouts, let's move on and teach you how to choose the best build for your character in Division 2.

How to choose the best build for your character in Division 2

Generally, we all have a hard time figuring out the perfect build to match our playstyle. Given the game's complexity, with so many items and options to choose from, sometimes it's hard to figure out what the best build for you would look like and where to start. Let me help you with that.

Here's a little trick that works like a charm every single time. Try to answer the following questions when choosing the best build for your Division 2 character:

  • What kind of combat type do you prefer? Close, medium, or ranged?
  • What type of weapons have you enjoyed the most in other shooter games?
  • What are your favorite weapons in Division 2?
  • What about your playing sessions? Do you mostly play solo or as part of a group?
  • What type of activities do you want to focus on? PvE or PvP?
  • How much time are you willing to invest into your build?
  • Are you looking for an easy-to-get build or something that uses rare items in the game?

To start with, figure out the answers to these questions, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what your build should look like and focus on it. Then, check out our recommendations for the best Div 2 builds in 2024 based on these criteria and see what fits the best for you.

I'm sure we have already covered a similar build to what you're looking for. You can either create replicas of the builds we posted on our website or take them as reference points, improvise, and create your own builds – your call!

How to min-max your builds in Division 2

In Division 2, min-maxing represents the act of creating a build around a specific concept or game mechanics, such as a particular playstyle (solo/group), combat style (close range, medium, or long-range), or a specific role in a group (DPS, tank, healer, etc.).

You will optimize and focus on a specific playstyle and everything that comes with it (the gear, weapons, stats, mods, etc.) while minimizing everything else. So the result of a min-maxed build is an extremely powerful character in one particular way but exceedingly weak in others.

Example: Let's say you aim for the best healer build for your character, and your whole build revolves around healing and keeping your teammates alive. You must be fully equipped with healing items, such as a healer set (Future Initiative), healer attributes and unique gear mods that improve your healing skills (+% Repair Skills), and specific weapon talents such as "Reformation" (Headshots grant +30% skill repair for 15s).

So right now, this is your trade-off: you are highly efficient in healing your teammates, but you can't take or deal an insane amount of damage as a healer. To make an idea, this is what a healer build looks like:

new healer build 1 new healer build 2
new healer build 3 new healer build 4

Min-maxing is all about getting those perfect items for your build. You aim for the best-in-slot items for the build, with maximum stats, perfect mods, and talents. It's an easy guess that min-maxing equals grinding. So what's the fastest way to get that ideal loadout for your character?

Here are some tips on how to min-max your build in Division 2:

  • If you run solo, use the Matchmaking system in The Summit and Countdown to get more players.
  • Play efficiently on the highest difficulty possible. The higher the difficulty, the better the rewards.
  • Always use Targeted Loot. It's the fastest way to get specific items for your builds.
  • Play in a group with loot share, so you get extra chances of obtaining the missing items.
  • Use the Tinkering Station (Recalibration and Optimization) to recalibrate and optimize your gear.
  • Once you have recalibrated and optimized the items for the build, work on your Proficiency and Expertise Levels.

Nowadays, in 2024, you can open the Tinkering Station by pressing "M" by default anywhere in the game. You are no longer required to visit the Base of Operations or the other Settlements to upgrade your gear. Here is what the Tinkering Station looks like:

tinkering station 1

Once you obtain the perfect items for your builds, the whole min-maxing relies on the Tinkering Station. Here you will recalibrate, optimize, and increase the proficiency and expertise levels for your gear:

tinkering station 2 tinkering station 3 tinkering station 4

That's pretty much everything you should know about choosing the best build for your character and how to optimize it and make it top-level. Now it's time to see what type of builds you can opt for and what are the best Division 2 builds in 2024. Let's dive in deeper!

Types of builds in Division 2

The game's complexity has forced its community members and dedicated content creators to develop Division 2 builds to cover all the various playstyles, combat styles, or roles for all the PvE and PvP activities available in the game.

This has been an ongoing process since the game's launch, and the Internet is now flooded with variants of the same type of builds that share the same principles and serve the same roles but come with minor adjustments. So to make it a bit easier for you, let's see the main build categories you get to choose from.

The main types of (meta) builds in Division 2 in 2024 are:

  • PvE Builds: these builds are used exclusively in PvE activities (Summit, Countdown, Missions, etc.)
  • PvP Builds: these are the best builds to use for PvP activities such as Dark Zone and Conflict
  • Solo Builds: extremely powerful builds for solo players that don't require a team to play with
  • Group Builds: these builds focus on covering various roles in a party for both PvE or PvP fights
  • Raid Builds: special builds to use in raids to cover multiple raid roles
  • DPS Builds: these are the damage-dealing builds, as they provide the highest damage in the game
  • Support Builds: these builds cover support roles in parties, such as healer, tank, crowd control, etc

Moving on, in the following sections of the guide, we'll discuss all of these build types in particular and present you with the best builds that stand out in each of these categories. Stay tuned!

The best Division 2 PvE Builds (for DPS) in 2024

In this category, you can find the most powerful loadouts to use as a damage dealer (DPS) for any PvE activity in Division 2, such as The Summit, Countdown, Heroic Control Points, Missions, or Legendary Strongholds. These builds revolve around various weapon classes and different playstyles, and they provide the highest damage output in the game.

The best DPS builds to use for PvE in Division 2 in 2024 are:

  • Legendary St Elmo's Striker Build
  • Heartbreaker PvE Build
  • Kingbreaker Striker Build
  • Kingbreaker Spotter Build
  • Assault Rifle PvE Build
  • Armor Regen Build
  • Legendary Skill Build
  • Hunter's Fury SMG Build
  • One-Shot Pistol Build
  • Negotiator's Build
  • Pestilence LMG Build

1. Legendary St Elmo's Striker Build

This is the perfect build for all PvE end-game activities on the highest difficulties in the game, such as Legendary Strongholds and Summit. We are using the LMG instead of the Rock n' Roll shotgun as a secondary weapon because you should have no issues maintaining the Striker stacks on the Heroic and Legendary activities.

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 St Elmo's Engine
Weapon Slot #2 GR9 LMG with "Frenzy" or "Fast Hands" talent
Weapon Slot #3 TDI "Kard" Custom
Specialization Gunner
Gear Configuration 4x Striker + Memento + 1x Ceska | Gruppo | Fenris

Skill Slot #1 Crusader Ballistic Shield

Core Attribute Full red build (max weapon damage)
Gear Rolls Crit hit chance & Crit hit damage

Some screenshots below:

2. Heartbreaker PvE Build

The Heartbreaker build works amazing for PvE end-game content such as Countdown, Summit, Raids, Heroic & Legendary missions. The synergy between the Kingbreaker assault rifle, Heartbreaker Set, Memento Backpack, and Picaro's Holster is incredible.

On your Kingbreaker, use the Sturdy Extended 7.62 Mag for the extra 20 rounds. You only use the shotgun to build up the Heartbreaker stacks. Rock n' Roll Shotgun can be a very good alternative for your secondary weapon. Build configuration below:

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Kingbreaker Assault Rifle
Weapon Slot #2 ACS-12 Shotgun with "Flatline"
Specialization Technician (for the Laser Pointer and +1 skill tier)
Gear Configuration 4x Heartbreaker + Memento Backpack + Picaro's Holster

3. Kingbreaker Striker Build

Recently reworked, the Striker represents one of the best DPS gear sets in the game. Combine the Striker set, the Flatline talent, and the Technician Laser Pointer and the result is amazing!

For more survivability, you can opt for a hybrid red-blue build and use some blue cores for additional armor. Also, you can swap the Ceska & Gruppo items for Contractor's Gloves and Fox's Prayer. Here is how I set mine:

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Kingbreaker
Weapon Slot #2 Rock n' Roll | ACS-12 Shotgun with "Flatline" talent
Specialization Technician (for the laser pointer)
Gear Configuration 4x Striker + 1x Ceska + 1x Gruppo Sombra

4. Kingbreaker Spotter Build

This build still represents one of the strongest builds in Div2. The synergy between the Heartbreaker Set, the Spotter talent and the Flatline talent is incredible. Amazing damage output and survivability! Some build particularities can be found below:

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Kingbreaker Assault Rifle
Weapon Slot #2 Scorpio Shotgun | Rock n' Roll | ACS-12 Shotgun with "Flatline"

5. Assault Rifle PvE Build

This is the perfect build for close to medium-range PvE fights. If you have survivability issues, reroll at least two of your red core attributes (weapon damage) into blue attributes (armor). Here is the Assault Rifle PvE Build overview:

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Chameleon or Eagle Bearer Exotic
Weapon Slot #2 Baker's Dozen
Specialization Gunner
Gear Configuration Coyote's Mask + Contractor's + Fox's + 1x Fenris + 1x Ceska + 1x Providence/Gruppo

6. Armor Regen Build

The Armor Regen Build represents a well-balanced build that provides excellent survivability and damage output, especially after the Project Resolve updates. For a fully optimized build, you need Armor Regen and Crit Hit Chance/Crit Hit Damage rolls on all the gear pieces (except the Ninja Exotic Backpack)!

If you own the Chill Out Mask, use it for the extra mod slot! You aim for 50%+ Crit Chance, then you can spec into Crit Hit Damage. Also, use the Sturdy Extended 5.56 Mag on your Shield Splinterer for maximum damage output. You can also swap the Ouroboros with a Scorpio Shotgun.

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Ouroboros SMG
Weapon Slot #2 Shield Splinterer
Weapon Slot #3 Orbit
Specialization Survivalist | Gunner
Gear Configuration Ninja Backpack + Emperor's Guard + 2x Gila + 1x Golan + 1x Belstone

7. Legendary Skill Builds

In my opinion, skill builds are the strongest PvE builds in Division 2, especially if you aim high, for legendary difficulty. Skill builds revolve around a cover-based playstyle, and they are highly dependent on the skills you use. There are two variants of skill builds In the current meta, based on the set they use: Rigger and Empress.

Variant #1 - Hybrid Red-Yellow Empress Build

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Capacitor Exotic Assault Rifle
Weapon Slot #2 Harmony
Specialization Technician

Pro Tip #1 Aim for at least 50% Critical hit Chance then use Critical Hit Damage rolls and mods

11. Pestilence LMG Build

This is the best build for all the LMG fans in the Division2. It revolves around the Pestilence Exotic LMG and a cover-based playstyle, ideal for medium to long-range combat. There are two variants of the build, one that uses the Obliterate talent and Fox's Prayer kneepads, and one that uses the Glass Cannon talent and Sawyer's Kneepads.

The first combination grants you better mobility and greater survivability, while Glass Cannon and Sawyer's provide a lot more damage, but you will lack in mobility and survivability (mobs can even one-shot you on Heroic difficulty). I highly recommend going for the first version that looks like this:

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Pestilence Exotic LMG
Weapon Slot #2 Assault Rifle with "Fast Hands" or "Measured" talent
Specialization Gunner
Gear Configuration Contractor's Gloves + Fox's Prayer + 2x Walker, Harris & Co + 1x Ceska + 1x Gruppo

What is the best Division 2 Solo Build for PvE in 2024?

All of the builds mentioned above qualify as the best PvE builds that you can play as a solo player in Division 2. Nobody can say, "This is the best solo PvE build out of all," because we all have our own skills and preferences for weapons, playstyles, etc. At the end of the day, "the best build for you" will be the build that matches perfectly with your playstyle, uses your favorite weapons, and brings you the most of the fun.

Example: I am an absolute fan of Assault Rifles in all the shooters that I play, and I prefer the close to medium-range combat fights, so for me, the best PvE build in Div 2 is the assault rifle build. What about you? What’s your favorite weapon type in this game?

The best Division 2 PvP Builds (for DPS) in 2024

This section presents you with the best PvP builds to use as a DPS in the Dark Zone or Conflict game modes. These are the most popular builds that, paired with the right player skills, really stand out and transform you into a killing machine. Compared to the PvE scenarios, in competitive PvP fights, your player skills really make a difference!

The best DPS builds to use for PvP in Division 2 in 2024 are:

  • System Corruption Build
  • Umbra PvP Builds
  • Striker PvP Build
  • Catharsis PvP Build
  • Heartbreaker PvP Build
  • Pulse Resistance Build
  • Assault Rifle PvP Build
  • Ridgeway's SMG Bleed Build
  • One-Shot Sniper Build
  • One-Shot Pistol Build
  • Status Effect (Fire) Build

1. System Corruption Build

The System Corruption Build is one of the best loadouts for PvP end-game activities such as Dark Zone and Conflict. It represents a well-balanced build owned by less than 1% of the player base, providing excellent survivability and damage output.

For a fully optimized build, you need Crit Hit Chance / Crit Hit Damage rolls on all the gear pieces. You can go for either a full blue core build or a hybrid blue and red build (armor rolls & weapon damage rolls). Getting these rolls on the System Corruption set is extremely difficult because of the RNG involved.

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 St Elmo's Engine
Weapon Slot #2 Dark Winter | Custom M870 MCS Shotgun with "Optimist"
Weapon Slot #3 Orbit
Specialization Gunner
Gear Configuration Catharsis Mask + 4x System Corruption + 1x Belstone
Chest Talent Unbreakable
Backpack Talent Multithreaded Execution (from System Corruption Backpack)
Skill Slot #1 Decoy
Skill Slot #2 Shock Trap
Core Attribute Full Blue build (armor rolls)
Gear Rolls Crit hit chance & Crit hit damage
Gear Mods Crit hit chance & Crit hit damage

For additional information, please check the screenshots below:

system corruption build 1 system corruption build 2
system corruption build 3 st elmos stats

You aim for 50%+ Crit Chance, then you can spec into Crit Hit Damage. You can also swap the St Elmo's Engine with Ouroboros SMG. Also, you can use Coyote's Mask instead of Catharsis Mask and a Ceska/Fenris Chest as a replacement for the Belstone one.

Save your time, buy the System Corruption build from us, and have the loadout delivered directly on your account.

6. Pulse Resistance Build (Heartbreaker Counter Build)

This is a must-have type of build if you are a PvP player in the game's current state. The introduction of the Heartbreaker Set had a huge impact that twisted the PvP meta as the Heartbreaker builds are now the most popular builds the players use in the Dark Zone and Conflict. So you have to counter that, become immune to pulse and effectively outrun these Heartbreaker builds.

You must obtain 100% Pulse Resistance for your agent, and you can only achieve that by using:

  • The 50% Pulse Resistance perk on the specialization skill tree
  • Pulse resistance mods
  • 3x Yaahl brand set, 3x System Corruption gear set, or an Improvised crafted build with 5-6 sockets

Below you can see an example of a Yaahl pulse resistance loadout, an extremely powerful Heartbreaker Counter build:

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Famas, Police M4 or Eagle Bearer
Weapon Slot #2 Scorpio Shotgun or SMG
Specialization Any spec. You must use the 50% pulse resistance perk in the skill tree

What is the best Division 2 Build for PvP as a solo player in 2024?

This is one of the most popular questions we get regarding Division 2 builds, especially when it comes to PvP. It's understandable because when you focus on the competitive modes in the game, you want THE best build for your character, so the other players don't stand a chance in front of you. However, you will never find that "one" PvP build that outstands all the other builds.

At the end of the day, it's all about the players' skills and what they enjoy the most. Some players enjoy close combat PvP fights, so the best builds, in their case, will revolve around SMGs, Pistols, or Shotguns. On the other hand, some players are experts in the cover-based playstyle, so they prefer sniper-rifle or skill builds. As long as you have the right skills, these are all perfect candidates for the "best PvP build in Division 2".

Getting these rolls on the System Corruption set is extremely difficult because of the RNG involved.

Remember, these are just my personal build recommendations for the Paradise Lost Incursion. Feel free to customize your own build and always use whatever seems the best for you! Let's move on to the next category: the Division 2 legendary builds.

Best Legendary Builds in Division 2

In Division 2, there are multiple tiers of difficulty, with Legendary being the highest one. However, you can only embrace the legendary difficulty within The Summit and the Strongholds in the game's current state.

Things get rough when playing on the most challenging difficulty in the game. Trust me. Your enemies are members of the White Tusk who are dealing increased damage, they have increased health pools and advanced skills. This automatically leads to the necessity of a solid build that can handle all that pressure and extremely challenging content. Not to mention that the legendary difficulty also requires some advanced player skills…a little shoutout here to the White Task “Rushers”.

If most of the DPS builds can cover the Heroic difficulty with ease, you don't have too many options to choose from for the legendary content. You must be extremely cautious, and if you are a solo player, you must use a cover-based playstyle. This is why the skill build is one of the best DPS builds for legendary missions in Division 2. You stay safe, in cover, and the skills do all the work for you.

However, if you're not a big fan of skill builds and prefer pure firearms builds, you still have some viable options: the Negociator's Dilemma Build and the Striker Build.

Below, we present the Best Legendary Builds in Division 2 for 2024:

  • Hybrid Empress Skill Build
  • Yellow Empress Skill Build
  • Rigger Skill Build
  • Negotiator's Dilemma Focused Build
  • Negotiator's Dilemma Obliterated Build
  • Legendary Striker Build

Best Raid Builds for The Division 2 in the current meta (2024)

This section covers the must-have builds that shouldn't be missing from any raid setup. Apart from great team skills and communication, Division 2 raids also require some particular loadouts to run through.

These builds are specially designed to cover the key roles in The Dark Hours and The Iron Horse raids. So whether you want to be the tank, the healer, or one of the damage dealers in the raid, we've got the perfect build.

The best raid builds for Division 2 in 2024 are:

  • Assault Rifle DPS Build with Coyote's Mask
  • Sniper/Rifle Build with Coyote's Mask
  • Boss Killer Build with Scorpio Shotgun
  • Tank Build with Tardigrade Chest
  • Healer Build with Future Initiative Set
  • Status Effect Build with Vile Mask

1. Assault Rifle DPS Build with Coyote's Mask

This is one of the most popular DPS builds used in the Division 2 raids. By case, depending on the raid group's configuration, Coyote's Mask can be swapped for Tardigrade Chest. Both of these exotics provide amazing team buffs. My favorite AR build config for the raids looks like this:

Weapon Slot #2 SMG or Rifle
Specialization Gunner
Gear Configuration Coyote's + Contractor's + Fox's Prayer + 1x Fenris + 1x Ceska + 1x Grupo

In my opinion, this is one of the must-have DPS builds for any Division 2 raid. It is an extremely efficient single-target build that also brings a significant damage boost to all raid members by using the Coyote's mask. Let's dive in deeper and see some details, shall we?

Build Component Description

3. True Patriot Support Build (Boss Killer)

This build is one of the best raid builds for single target damage, especially for the raid bosses. It provides your teammates with a ton of extra damage. This build has many variants, but I prefer using it with the True Patriot set. So my loadout looks like this:

4. Tank Build with Tardigrade Chest

This build is the definition of survivability and provides a huge armor boost to your team as well. Try to get as much armor as possible (at least 1.8 mil), as you will have to face-tank the enemies so the rest of the team can take them down. Build configuration below:

Build Component Description
Weapon Slot #1 Liberty Pistol
Weapon Slot #2 Assault Rifle or SMG

6. Status Effect Build with Vile Mask

One of the best support builds used in the Division 2 raids. It's extremely fun to play, and I find it one of the most enjoyable raid builds in the game, as you mostly stay in cover and put your enemies on fire. Some build particularities can be found below:

Build Component Description

Remember, you won't have access to exotic items and best in slot gear early on! Below we present one of the best starter builds for a fresh level 40 hardcore character in Division 2.
