The Division | Patch 1.8 Gear Set Tier List | What to Farm/Play in 1.8 

I would really like to see a PvE tier list now.

Thanks Marco for this summary and your opinion about all the classified gear sets. This will help alot the beginners and is also a practical guide for all agents. Top notch.

Great work man. Really been waiting for this :-) Thank you so much Marco!

Really useful as ever. Great advice alongside the rankings themselves. Thanks.

Excellent video Marco! Very thorough! Hoping for strim tomorrow! 🤞🏼

Thank you for this video! Even though it's "opinion", I still consider you the authority in all things Division... and I'm sure many would agree. I owe my solid builds to all the advice and statistics you've given. Striker is definitely my favorite, though I'm about to start work on a classified D3-FNC build.

Alpha 6 pieces should double your weapon talents stats

I love your videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain things so well. I would really love to see more about PvE.

I’ve waited for this video. Good info, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the list Marco. I'm a new player to the game and I found this guide very useful!

Great video, im a player coming back since release & your 1.8 videos are helpfull like many more in the community.

I'm glad your doing this Marco. Thanks bro.

Damn I appreciate the work you put in these vids. Thank you Marco

Your videos helped me a lot to find my way back in to Devision

I’m so happy you made this

Love you're vids, started playing div1 and i love it

Alphabridge should have gotten back its 6 talents as 6 piece classified bonus.

Good job ... thanks for the video ... you ranking final measure and reclaimer in tier 1 shows you have good analytical skills in the game . Thanks

Nice gear introduction thanks!

Does Alpha Bridge proc when you destroy an enemy's turret? That could be useful if it could

Love your stuff!!

again very good video, thanks for sharing us your opinion ! keep it up

Great Video!

Marco, you are that dude in School who would give me his homework. Thanks for that!

Great video thanks

I was wondering when you wore going to make this video. By far I enjoy your videos about division builds the most. I’ve seen a few people post and give good tips but you go deep (phrasing? 😏) in detail. I’ve done my d3, stricker and pred using the advice you give. Keep up the great work and hope to see more in the future.

Thanks for the video man you're the best

Amazing video bro

Finally, waited for this so long!

Wow, great video.

Watching a pro play, with the right builds and the right tactics helps discern cheaters from good players. That is a benefit of these videos I think some might miss.

Just got back into the Division and just found out about this after the GE ended. This is amazing.

Thank u for this video

Great vid! I have to agree with you on the pred mark, I just haven't enjoyed using it. My striker on the other hand I haven't taken off!

Great videos marco i subbed im proud to be dutch like him we think lot about things thats whst dutch people do not all but go in depth & try & test evrything. I been running reclaimer day 1 never took it off im grinding for classefied items on ps4 i combined it with striker & ninja backpack bc i just have 1 classefied piece i took a break for long time i just started again few weeks back.

Enjoy the video very helpful in building gear sets

Thankyou Marco from a returning player (your 100,000th subscriber too). As an old player, I still have that deep rooted memory of the combo builds such as the striker/sentry build back from 1.2. Because of this, I have a different solo build using the Ninja backpack combining the Alphabridge and Predators Mark that I call the AlphaPred, a 4 piece Predator/3 Piece Alphabridge....I will be grinding the hell out now to get the Predator classified pieces as I'm just using a normal set ATM but already with only the Alphabridge being on classified but if it's focused on the AR, the bonus stacks turn a G36 into a damage god with 500K DPS, 450+K Toughness and 150K skill power and makes it a different choice to Lone Star and Banshee. It has turned it into that God Tier....screw Predator on its own.

excelente video Crack

I only just noticed that D3FNC sort of spells out "defense". I've been playing since 1.4, so go me.

Holy fuck I'm early, Much love Marco, been waiting for something like this. PS: I love your accent xD

I respect you for putting each gear set time I already respected you before

I don’t actually need this but you do a lot for people who do and your division videos are on point, I think it’s time I subbed 🙂

Great vid. Would love to see a video for how you counter pred solo

Just gained a sub homie!

nice stuff

I almost have all sets and I agree with everything you said.

Your videos are amazing man thank yoy for keeping with this game and not following the hype

First things first I love the videos huge fan! But I can’t see how this is a good video because I will never get 6 piece of anything at this point and so I have slowed to a halt on playing this game. It’s unfortunate because it’s a fun game but I can’t see continuing the grind for these 6 piece gear sets because just getting any of the classified pieces is so hard. Let alone the getting the one you where looking for!! And the time needed to get some is way more than I can put in. So I will continue to watch your videos because I enjoy them. Thanks

I know I clicked like late by more than two years but I just missed Div 1 videos, gameplay , analysis. Hope in Division 3 you would have that motivation and interest. Yeah been watching your videos as well as other for the past week or so just to remember the fun I used to have with my mates in New York's winter weather especially with Hunters. Hoping we get that feeling in Division 3.

Marco I really you should have a division podcast we only have 2 at the moment (bombshell jacket and sitrep) but a third wouldn't hurt plus you're awesome at suggesting builds

About time 👍

Thx u good info xd

Hey Marco do you play Last Stand? If so please please explain to the new players how it's played! I'm always finding team mates that just don't understand what to do to win a match. 😕

Marco, always enjoy the insightful analysis. 👍🏻 for those who don’t have classified gear set, meaning only have 4 pieces bonus. Can you give us some recommendations what is the best kind of combination or what are the options? Thank you!

PvE Tier list video please Marco. Well done, thanks.

And I thank you again Marco. Everything I have learned when it comes to building has came from you. I LOVE my Striker build. But I'm working on a support Tactician build. Any advice.?

To counter that sh*tfest that is Firecrest and Tactitian I used a 1.6 hybrid I did with Ninjabackpack with two Firecrest 3 Tactian. With 8k Electronics 4K Stamina and Firearms- With either a Overheal/Seeker/Box and a Fire Turret - while in a group it helps A LOT. It’s all about the situation, and I like it a lot. Great video as usual Marco.

24:45 hahahaha Eel hitting you! 😅😂🤣 gold

I’m liking alpha atm but only cause I don’t have a full striker/d3 set yet as soon as I get striker it’ll be my go to set

Fun little drinking game. Take a shot for whenever Marco says. “so to speak” Great tier list video!

Marco can you make a video for players like myself who’s been gone from the game for a year. At the time my gear score was maxed but with all the new changes I’m lost and I’d like to get into the game again. Great job on your videos keep it up!!

Good stuff Marco. Well done! Do you have a F.M. build. Thanks

Thanks you

Спасибо за обзоры действительно информативны!!!

one of the builds i was running while trying to get my first 6-piece ( mainly in PvE mind you) was a 3 piece tactician's with a 2 piece firecrest with the Wildcard backpack ( i never remember the name of it, the one that made it so i was running 4 piece tact, 3 piece firecrest) if someone is trying to farm their gear and they dont have a 6-piece yet, i recommend this set for PvE Only, i was constantly killed in PvP,m but it did mess with their minds to see themselves melting to the turret :)

as a main d3fnc solo player i aprouve this video :)

I thought u couldn't do tier list anymore because all classified sets almost good but it is nice to see this video thanks for doing that

I know you likely won't do this but I'd really like to just see an overview of a deadEYE build for this patch. Just to see what you think fits best for deadEYE as someone who uses it a lot I would love to see this.

Ok I’m extremely late I just started playing this game a few months ago and I’m HOOKED I’m trying to complete the lone star build now

so has it gotten to the point that any build that's not a 6p classified is obsolete? or can I still run builds like ninja hybrid or even split sets?

I 100% agree with banshee. I loved running banshee, before classified came out. With the classifieds release, I do feel like it's not as satisfying. I usually play by myself and the banshee was the only thing that gave me an edge to rogue players. Now I feel like it's too weak. I use Nomad and Pred more than I do Banshee now and it really does sadden me. Those upgrades would be nice to have (the constant pulse, the two buy off stations) and would make me come back to it (because come on, constant scan to see who's around corners and get ready? Sign me up!). Thanks for the awesome content Marco. Keep up the great vids. They helped me get the most out of my builds and I always refer them to my friends when they're having trouble deciding between stamina or electronics.

Hey Marco, love your videos and have become a disciple to your build videos, trying to mimic as much as I can in my own builds. I am an oddball in that I use an Xbox 360 controller on my PC, thus I have all the shortcomings of a console player against the best PC players in this game. I do not do well in PVP so I keep to PVE and that makes me happy. I hate doing an hour of grinding in the DZ just to get ganked by someone like yourself that has all the gear and every piece is maxed out and perfectly set up for max everything. Oh pity me, lol. With all that said, I would like to know if you could do another video ranking the Classified Gearsets for PVE? I have fun with my 6 piece classified Lone Star and Reclaimer, but don't know how to set up or use my final measure or firecrest. A video for us PVE only guys would be wonderful. Thanks for all of the info in your videos and keep up the great work.

So if you missed the first few global events how are we supposed to get those classified gear sets? Farm the loot box in resistance? Seems like a lot of wasted time hoping to get one of 14.

I´m new to this game and I have a question about the Sentry´s Call Stacks. Everybody can see the stacks on the enemies. Does the stacks apply for every group member, so their headshot dmg is doubled+30% more dmg with normal shots? Or are the stacks only for me?

I agree! I still grinded, but for other reasons I guess. I would like another chest and mask for my striker. Got a house finally and I get to mess around with a firecrest (DPS build). Have 26 cashes left to open! 🤞🤞

As usual,excellent video macro

When will your final measure healer build video be released? been waiting for it for a while now, and dont want to roll my final measure build incorrectly

Hi, thank you for the video, I appreciate your work with that. Does the Banshee set bonus has an effect within Last Stand or Skirmish, where the whole oponnent team is rogue?

I LOVE Nomad. I really do love it. I run Warlord and House and I bring out alot of damage. I really love Nomad

This video is the perfect feedback to give to Massive. If they see this it can potentially make them change some of the bonuses in order to make the weaker gear sets more useful for players. I also think that they should remove some of the restrictions the gear sets have, for example the Alpha Bridge could be used in in PvP as well not just in the PvE aspect of the game.

Hey Marco, did they remove the coolheaded talent on the Caduceus?

What do you think about the old school hard hitting two banshee,two predators one tactician ninjabike bag ? Personally I’m running three alpha two banshee and ninja bike. Right now for the damage and extra talent.

Don’t agree with every ranking but appreciate some good points you brought up. GG

Would you be willing to do another tier list for pve? As I newer player something like this is very helpful for me, so keep up the good work

Alejandro and classified striker rips through absolutely everything. Probably the best build I ever made

To be honest, this should be called "Patch 1.8 Gear Set PVP Tier List". For example FireCrest+Urban MDR with only 8k electronics is verry FUN and effective PVE build. So that's that. You really should highlight the fact that you're opinions are mostly on PVP. But verry informative and good quality video as usual :) Been fallowing from the beginning of The Division,

Great video as always. How many of these superior cashes do you have to open to open to get a complete set? Is 40 a godd number? The GEs are getting tiresome and unfulfilling. The Ambush modifier did not even work in PvP, was so excited it would.

Hello Marco ; Thanks to your fun videos , I have picked up The Division again . Besides being a bit rusty , I am lost regarding gear . Would you be so kind to recommend setups for PVE ? Thanks .

If I get a piece of armor or weapon, but then sell it, is it possible to re-craft it rather than having to try and farm them again? I hear the Nomad set is good for solo PVE/farm.. this still the case ? I like using Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifle (for distance/streets).

These are all the classified gearsets. Does the same apply for the regular gearsets or is the order changed up?

Greeeeeeat, the two 6 pc classifieds I have are the tier 4 ones...... :/

Would you suggest changing out support station with nomad cause of the burst heal nerf?

Imagine firecrest makes your turret gain increasing damage over time, and this damage increase starts to fall after there is no more target in range.

Marco, yet another great video. I agree with you on all points, especially the Predator set, which I knew from when I got the set that it wasn’t going to be an issue in the DZ. And yes it’s a little cheesey, but I still think it’s a tier 1. As for some of the other sets, Tactician needs to have a skill power boost and should go back to allowing group members to add to the stack and do away with this rubbish of not been able to use the same skill to use the the second buff. I thought these sets were suppose to be OP, so make them OP. As for Alpha, I would like for the 6 piece to include 6 talents and for Alpha to use the stack system like Striker to use its signature. But Alpha should be able to have the effects of team mates signature. This will then rival Striker. Finally this game has no place for snipers. Brilliant video, I always find them engaging.

helpful

Nice

Hey Marco, while I know you do not think too highly of the Alphabridge six piece set, what do you think of potential combinations for a five piece Alphabridge build? Say five piece with savage, vigorous, or colonel bliss for example? The goal here would be to unlock damage talents the player ordinarily could not use while having high firearms/stamina.

I use 5 nomad and barret chest and it works like a charm

do you know by any chance what the future of global events are? are they going to keep doing them or are they done? does anyone else might know?

Thanks for this video, Is it better to run 5pc alpha bridge with vigorous chest, or 6pc alpha¿
