In the video, the presenter Wids provides a comprehensive guide on building the optimal Player vs. Environment (PvE) and Player vs. Player (PvP) setups for "The Division 2" in 2024, with a particular focus on the Striker Battle Gear set. Key elements include leveraging the Striker Gamble talent for increased weapon damage and employing specific gear pieces like the chest piece and backpack to maximize damage stacks. Critical hit chance and damage optimization are emphasized, with gear such as the Coyote's Mask and Fox’s Prayer knee pads recommended for their benefits.
For weapons, the Rock and Roll (ACS or showstopper), Saint Elmo engine, Eagle Bearer, and Oro Bor are highlighted based on their crit-focused attributes and utility in sustaining damage stacks. The Orbit is suggested for secondary weapon use due to its perfect finisher talent.
When tailoring builds for different modes, the video suggests prioritizing high-damage red attributes for PvE, with flexible specialization choices like the Gunner or Technician. In contrast, PvP builds focus on blue attributes for enhanced tankiness and incorporate essential gear for durability and efficiency in conflicts, such as the Kafari mask for status effect removal and increased weapon damage.
The importance of stat prioritization is repeatedly underscored, particularly focusing on armor, crit chance, and crit damage. Finally, specializations like the firewall for its armor kit benefits are advised, along with skills like the revive Hive, Shield, decoy, and defender drone for various play scenarios. The presenter encourages viewers to share their personal preferred builds, reflecting a collaborative approach to mastering the game.

In this part of the video, the presenter, Wids, discusses the best PvE build for “The Division 2” in 2024, focusing on the Striker Battle Gear set. He highlights its benefits, including increased weapon handling and rate of fire. The Striker Gamble talent boosts weapon damage by stacking bonuses when hitting targets, and reworks now prevent stack loss from missed shots. Key gear pieces include the chest piece, which doubles stack potential, and the backpack with the risk management talent, increasing weapon damage up to 200%. For optimal performance, prioritizing crit chance and damage on gear and out-of-cover damage or damage to armor on weapons is recommended.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for optimizing critical hit chance and damage in a build. Utilizing a Coyote’s Mask can help maintain around 50-60% critical hit chance by varying based on distance. The speaker recommends focusing on weapon damage and critical hit stats, mentioning that critical hit chance stats cap at 60%. They then introduce a sponsor, detailing services for acquiring exclusive in-game items via self-play carries.
The speaker also explains their preferred build involving a four-piece Striker set with a Coyote’s Mask, praised for its critical hit benefits to the user and teammates, especially in group play. Alternate build options include using the Picaro holster for added armor and weapon damage or substituting in Fox’s Prayer knee pads for increased damage to targets out of cover. Different gear configurations can be employed depending on whether the player prefers red (offensive) or blue (defensive) attributes. Finally, they suggest using the “Obliterate” talent on the chest piece for faster weapon damage stacking.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the optimal weapon choices for a crit-focused build. They highlight the ease of building crit stacks and recommend using the Rock and Roll (ACS or showstopper) for its large magazine capacity and despite a noted bug. The Saint Elmo engine is recommended for its effective shock ammo and low recoil. The Eagle Bearer is described as a fun but recoil-heavy alternative, with strong headshot benefits. The Oro Bor is praised for its rapid-fire capability and versatility; it doesn’t require the showstopper for stack building. Additionally, the Shield Splinter is mentioned as a pairing option. For secondary weapons, the Orbit is advised for its perfect finisher talent. The speaker emphasizes that while weapon choices are flexible, using the showstopper to build stacks initially is highly effective. Skill recommendations include the revive Hive for PvE scenarios and the Shield, especially when using the Technician specialization.

In this segment, the video discusses different build strategies for both PvE and PvP modes. For PvE, the specialization choice is flexible, allowing players to maximize damage by focusing on red cores, or to enhance defense using technician skills or Gunner specialization for faster reloads and armor on kill benefits.
For PvP, the strategy contrasts by prioritizing blue cores to build tankiness, allowing time to stack damage through the Striker set. Key gear includes a mandatory backpack for extra damage per stack and a chest piece with advantageous PvP talents. The recommended mask is Kafari, noted for its excellent talent boosting weapon damage and providing a purge to remove status effects while healing. Combining these with a high blue build results in significant durability and damage advantages. Additionally, the chest piece with perfectly efficient talent and firewall specialization enhances armor kit efficiency.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the efficiency of an armor kit with a 75% chance of not being consumed, highlighting how this can be extremely beneficial in PvP situations due to the ability to spam the kit. They compare it to a normal kit with a 50% chance, noting the significant impact of the additional 25%. The speaker shares personal gameplay strategies, such as using a Sokolov chest with unbreakable or obliterate for extra damage, and suggests alternative guns and builds like the “Eagle Bearer” and “Showstopper”. They emphasize the importance of stat priority, particularly focusing on armor, crit chance, and crit damage, especially in conflict scenarios where the watch does not provide bonuses. For specializations, the speaker highlights the use of the firewall for its armor kit benefits and recommends skills like the decoy and defender drone for dark zone play. Overall, they share their preferred Striker builds for 2024 in Division 2 and invite viewers to share their own setups.
