The Division | Classified AlphaBridge PvP/PvE Build | Patch 1.8 

Alpha should have went back to having 6 talents with the 6 piece

Marco, you're my favorite division youtuber. And I always respect the facts you state about everything involving this game. You've helped me a lot. And after just yesterday completing my 6 piece alphabridge, I have been loving it. Yeah, it's not as good as striker or nomad. But the thing that I love the most about alphabridge is how much fun it is to use.

It took me 8 min. to realize you were saying “concealed pulse” rather than “consumables” lol

Thanks Marco for the video I appreciate all the these build vids you do your a credit to this community.

Would be pretty awesome if they made the 6 piece like how it was during 1.5 with 6 talents all together. Would be a pretty beast set.

First 10 seconds saying his explanation, gets a thumbs up

It’s awesome in Pve you couldn’t be more wrong! A 10 seconds signature every kill! Super useful

Man... was I waiting for this video.

Hey Marco, a question regarding Firecrest. Does EAD and DTE increase the damage of your flame turret to NPCs?

Love in the build at the end you titled it differently (and appropriately!)

The lunchbox slap disrespect was too good

Always good. Thanks for the vid.

Best opening statement ever.

Man!! R.I.P AlphaBridge, we had a good run concurring the DZ. now it can barely kill an player.

Best explained there is not! Well analysed ,well explained. Best there is out there !!!

I've been running AB 6 pc since day 2 and I never noticed that the shared talent is in blue. I've been running MDR and Bullfrog thinking it was working. Oh boy glad I watched this haha

are you gonna make a fire crest build if not what do you advise doing gowning full electronics?

Good vid..... people run electronic on other builds cuz of competent, fierce and adept and they are good talents for sure. Another reason on console it's hard to destroy a health box while shooting and ads cuz of the button layout. I run one piece electronics on most of my builds and do just fine. Those talents I just mentioned can change a fight. Competent, adept and fierce makes up for that missing piece in firearms while making your skills a lil bit stronger

I love my secret AlphaBridge-Set. It's great for solo PVE (Lexington, ...) and solo DZ!😀👍 Great fun to use it🤗

I love your first minute!😂

I just find it amusing how people are quick to critique and show how their version of the build is better. Yet, they miss the point of the video completely. Sure you can build alpha with high firearms or electronics or however you want and it may work great. However, he is not showcasing the definitive way to build it. He representing an Alpha Bridge build that fully utilizes the 6pc bonus for the sake of showing the 6pc bonus. Come on people!!

i couldnt agree more on the point you made...this set pretty much only works if u are playing against someone with lesser skill then you (farmers, noobs, etc) but the moment you run into a group that knows what they are doing and there is a bunch off Pred, Nomads, and shotgun strikers running around; its a gg cause u WILL lose....quick and hard

trust me i tried it for myself invested on firearms glad i didn't watch this video before and not tried it out cause i love it, it's a very powerful gear go to set.

Hi. I use: 2 parts Tactician's Authority; 3 parts Striker's Battlegear and NinjaBike messenger bag. Is this a good connection?

So help me out here, I gotta do all that shooting to activate talents none stop. To survive . Did I miss the ammo management part?

Loving the name you gave to the build though 'AlphaMeme Build' 😂😂😂

Only just got Alpha Bridge and had a little play in the Hospital to test, this is not the dz tank of old but a pve tank of new take everything that made it a great pvp build and re design it for pve! l popped two recovery links and a tactical plus survivor in the time it takes to blink three times, looks great for us pve agents but pvp popping in the wrong order might see you dead on the floor, another great video Marco Thanks!

Most hilarious thing about alpha bridge is that you have to balance your stats, so your 4piece bonus of talents having no requirements is wasted. Almost like they didn't think about it for 5 minutes when creating it, like the tactician, 60 WOW bonus, but you don't use your skills to get 60 stacks.

Hey Marco, I was wondering if the Commanding Weapon Talent (extends Signature Skill Time) works with the AlphaBridge 6 piece.

What about running 5p alpha with a vigorous or savage gloves or specialized backpack?

Would commanding talent extend the duration of the mini ultimates to be able to keep them up permanently?

Hey! I was messing around with a alphatronics build and it seemed pretty good to me! I was just wondering what you could do with somethibg like that,i used a sticky and a turret and they both would proc the super

If they bring back the six talents for it it could compeat with striker and nomad for sure

Thanks for the build m8 at least I can stay a live now .had trouble with this one ☝️ but thanks to you it’s not too bad 😜😜😜

I've been using this set to solo farm Powerhouse and it's pretty fun. Using a LWM4 with Destructive and Determined, and that talent that extends your skill's duration every time you get a kill, ensures I never run out of ammo. Depending on which boss spawns, I can sometimes open the crate 3 times by wave 8, and complete a run in 10 minutes or so.

Thanks for sharing. I got 5 times the gloves, no an another piece lol

That build screenshot though. "AlphaMeme Build". haha.

I was so hyped to play this GE to farm for Hunters Faith for ages, i haven't even played The Division in like 3 weeks :(

Would it be viable to run Alpha bridge with Hungry Hog and LMG's in general to make it more of a tanky crit heal (With the right talents on weapons) kinda build? PVE in mind

They need to make it so that, depending on which main stat you spec into the most, you get the signature that corrisponds to that main stat. EX: FA=Tac Link, ST=Blue Link, EL=Green Link.

What are your thoughts on classified firecrest?

Marco! Would love to see your review of Classified Firecrest! :D

would a turret kill proc the 6th talent? of does it have to be from the agent?

So out of the 4 trash classifieds in this ge which one is the best?

Pro tip you can activate abilities with your turrets and you can res yourself with it

God Damn. Given it straight.

does commanding weapon talent have any effect on the 6 piece?

Hey can someone help me out, I’m confused on the talent/ability where when getting a headshot pulses the hostile for 10s, I’m wondering what the pulse does? As in does it give the same stats as your pulse, or is it a set boost, I.e. 10% crit chance, 10% Crit chance? Any help would be much appreciated

Marco, what if for PvP, you run 5 piece with something like Barret’s Chest or a HE (idk) and drop the electronics? How well do you think it can perform?

Thanks for the review. I was just about to spend all my div tech into optimizing my gearset. That would have been one hell of a waste

Can you help me set up a firecrest build to include the perks?

What do you think of firecrest for a turret/healing build? And would you recommend 4K/9k or 5k/8k?

Massive should change the 6 piece so that you can gain another bonus talent at 6k firearms and another at 9k and they should also buff some of the other exotic weapons that are weak in pvp like the caduceus and the medved. In my opinion, this would make it a top tier gear set that can compete with other good classified builds like striker, nomad, and predators mark.

I like using 5 piece with refreshed mask personally

Can you do a final measure build guild? Or should i just build it like Reclaimer..?

Marco will it be Better if u run 5 Alpha and vigius pr savage??

6 piece ab is bull how about they change it to the old ab 6 weapon talents unlocked

Why not let it proc randomly or get a said amount of kills to proc the ult like the pred?

@marostyles wen you gonna do the final measure healer

Still waiting for hunters faith man .... good work man

I still run a bit of electronics with 40% skill haste for the cooldowns on my skills. Seems beneficial in that reguard at least.

Would the original 4 piece alpha (6 talents) be better than this?

How do the Classified Gear Sets compare to the Exotic Gear Set? Comparison video?

Determined or commanding would it be useful in alphabridge

Alpha is a great Skirmish build, that's it.

Marco, do the weapon talents that has signature skill bonus have effect on this 6 piece?

Bro what if u use commanding? Does it effect the special abilities?

Imo best build is the one you have the most fun with. I love 6 piece AlphaBridge

Felt exactly the same. Guy sad sound hype in my vid about it and I was like I can't because alpha now sucks 😧

They should make the 6 piece like how it was before where you get the 9 perks

Love the video

I think if the drop the stats effect on the sig time. An just set it to a flat 5-7 secs it might even it out with the other sets. that way you could build into firearms more.

I feel a mini rework, i feel its DA WEY! xD how about making each mini signature activate on itself like if you take certain damage pop blue, do damage to pop yellow, reach certain hp to pop green. that would be so awesome

I love alpha for solo pve

how does the commanding talent work with this build?

I love your honesty, you say what we all think 😊 could you do firecrest and talk about bother ways to build 10k tech vs combatcrest where you build it like a nomad and use the fire as boost.... I have been doing combatcrest since 1.6 and now I see people do combatcrest because of fire bullets, what is your take on the crest?

Hey Marco are you going to review also Firecrest?

Have you tried combining the free talents of exotic weapons? I was gonna try showstopper + cassidy.

alpha in skirmish is a beast if you get one kill because after that its just a steam roll especially if you have the house. so idk what hes talking about. play what you want

Thank you for this, I was very curious how the 6 piece worked, I'm no idiot but holy shit was it confusing.. I kinda figured it was a waste and it sure seems that way now for sure..

if they wanted to make it interesting. it should be that those sig's are activated always and they are always in rotation. no kills needed. BUT their duration changes depends on the stats. so if for example you stack stamina. you get a longer survivor stack firearms? you get a longer offensive tactical link. so depending on how you are building with stats also effects your play style. so you can also tank with with it or do damage. or even make it so recovery heals the team but for less. so you can become a passive healer. would be a far better set and also fit with teams like this. also make it very versatile. but the way it is now the condition for activating the 6p. is too much for what you need to sacrifice to make it work. for example predators you lose firearms to gain stamina for the 6p. and the 6p gives you damage. so you don't really lose damage. this just makes it look like they don't know what to do with alpha bridge.

MARCO! Would you have a look at the Hunter's Faith in PvP and PvE? I've been running it but I feel I am blind firing with a bolt action without your advice.

Sounds like Massive has some buffing to do on these last 4 gear sets.

Perhaps a better design would've been to use your stat distribution as a way to weight your links' respective effectiveness. Anyway... Marco, would you say that a 5+1 build with savage or relentless, et cetera, might be better?

I remember when Alpha was the bees knees! But how long does the 6p last if you spec into stam/firearms and just keep a 2900 electronics? It still could be nice to have the heal from green and even a 2 sec yellow is nice. Not ideal though.

Just make the ult proc every 40 bullets hit on an enemy.

I actually have a new way to run this for skirmish, and it's kinda fun. Ninja bag 3 pieces of alpha with 2 pieces of tactician. Make it skillpower heavy. About 8k with the rest of the points into stamina. Do a pulse build with CHC mods, and throw on a house. You get a backup healer/pulse that has all house talents unlocked and bridged. Kinda fun.

I have a 5K all around build on Alphabridge snd I like it but its best used for challenging missions. But it is fun as hell to run around at a faster speed with survivor link.

I've been able to do solo PVE content at record speeds with six piece Alphabridge, just my two cents. I completely agree in a group setting and in PVP though. Not being able to use your main ult or be affected by a teammates ult is horrible.

Alphabridge classy is my fave build in the game it shreds. The secret to alphabridge is triifer control and not worrying about balance

the thing about main stat distribution is wrong, for example a 7k6 4k 4k distribution wont be giving less rotation or duration than 6k4 5k2 4k2

Alpha bridge is amazing for solo pve content! Much more fun to use than striker or nomad Somewhat usless for pvp or group content

Forget to say . Nice one m8

Thanks for this

@Marcostyle what’s the background music?

If I open Ambush GE caches after Ambush GE ends, I'm wondering will I get other sets because I don't have Striker gear, I returned to the game when Strike GE came last month

How you try it the old fashion way 5 pice alpha and savege glove lol just maybe will be a lil better

that sarcasm in the beggining

They should change the 6 piece to either 6 talents or letting you alpha bridge with exotics and the Health regeneration should be changed to like skill haste or something actually useful

I don't think this is directly addressed in the video so I'm asking here -- when you trigger a pseudo-ult by killing a NPC, does that trigger the damage bonus from competent? Or does that damage bonus only trigger when you actively use a skill? Edit: Did some testing and no, triggering a pseudo-ult with Alpha Bridge 6 piece does NOT trigger the damage bonus from competent. Neither on the weapon with competent itself nor the weapon that unlocks the 4th, free talent.
