The Division | Solo Player Dark Zone PvP Build/Guide | Patch 1.5 

that intro made me giggle, wish there was more build diversity in 1.5 tho

Best alpha bridge video I've seen to date!!! Thank you for this!

thank you for keeping me alive with this build

Great video! I've learned a lot watching your videos and I'm going to start working on this build now. I already put together a healer Reclaimer build, but I need to tweak it to get better stats - keep up the good work!

Fantastic vid Marco, ive been playing since release.......and just picked up some wicked tips on skill uses, great work, keep it up !!!!!

very good. playing since day one and still learning new things that i didnt know. thx for that!

Nice Video! Got a cracking Alphabridge build on the back of this, thanks :)

Perfect video. 10 minutes is acceptable time wise. All your choices explained. And tons of nifty little known game mechanics. Love it =)

great video! it helped me refine my solo builds thanks.

this is amazing, gonna give it a shot since I mostly am a solo pvp'er. subbed!

Brilliant. Thanks, Marco.

Thank you for this guide!

Because of your QUALITY content, I was able to get back into the Division and actually enjoy my experience. thank you.

Nices setup MS. Will definitely try this gear setup because I always get jump by group with nearly no luck what so ever. Thanks

Amazing video thanks for the tips

great video brotha very informative thank you

Your videos are great, man! THX! ;)

Quality not quantity, nice one Marco!

A very clean and understanding video definitely getting a 👍🏻s up 🙂

Awesome vid Marco

Nice, I have a build just like that only completely different, but it's still 4 piece Alpha with refreshed mask and specialized backpack. But now I know how that build is supposed to be so off I go to make some adjustments, thank you very much MarcoStyle for this video.

Thank you very much marco..you are the man

great vid! I always run solo in the DZ

love the fact u still output content, used your video's and builds a lot back in the day, around release. just returned to the game and now i am your sup and ill trow u some like's on those video's. to be honest u got ahead of the rest of the guys creating content, just because we share the same country. (beside that u explain the why a bit more in detail, keep up the good work). tot later

Nice vid Marco. I agree completely with this build. Despite running myself with Barretts chest + Ferro's mask, since I got them, but that's not something everyone can do. If I didn't I'd run this for sure. Boostershot with Refreshed and Specialized is super nice.

You.Are.The.Man. Thank you!

Finally, Thank you!

Amazing vid!!

Zie je leuter! Great vid again. Keep it up, greetings from Twente.

Nice vid helped me out alot

Great video!

Congratulations, by the tutorial. The best I've seen on RU-vid. Could make one of the predator ??

You had me there at 'no more AlphaBridge'

Thank you Marco for reiterating the fact that alpha is op at the moment. And I hope they fix this as soon as possible. But great video. You go in depth every time, which I like. Keep up the good work.

Another dank video Marco

amazing build thanks Marco! only thing i have trouble with, actually getting good Alphabridge pieces. im only dropping Holster and kneepads for Alpha. cant seem to get anything else. no chest piece yet :(

I miss this game! I miss watching your videos!

Loved the video! Are you going to make an updated solo build video after 1.6 drops? Being with all the changes it'll bring and all. I hope so. Again, love the videos!

nice was hier op zoek thx!!

you are a monster man! thanks for sharing! :-)

Good video marco

Amazing video, once again Marco. I farmed for almost 2 weeks for Barrett's Vest only to get a crappy roll and find out that it's bugged, so I'm gonna give this a try.

They need to reduce the health of downed agents, it's insane that it takes almost an entire mag to finish them

perfect video!

Thank you Marco. Will you make an updated Tactician build for 1.5 soon?

Yes, the stacking all three of insane. I've been considering trying that in combination with the defense ult... you would truly be invisible for at least 10 seconds.

fantastic

nice job marko i will do that i like it

Was waiting for this alrdy ;) I'll watch it tonight. Go sleep now Kappa

goed bezig jonguh!!

Like the outro music

I'm relatively new to the game (and to your channel, hi!), and I seem to have a similar mindset when it comes to DZ builds. I am not a rogue player, but I use scrambler just to keep off potential rogues radars. However, I use the support station as being able to "super tank/death tank" groups of NPCs, even in DZ06, has saved me many a time. Currently using the Security Link as I'm short on points for the Medical Link. Must admit, I like the running speed for those GTFO moments. I am also remaining at 29 for a while, just to get DZ experience (and DZ rank exp), and bumping up my credits can't hurt. I use a SMG and a Bolt Action Marksman, with a Firearms focus, while still boosting armour and health when I can, and recently got a specialised backpack just to help skill power. I'm still tweaking my build, but I am pretty much at the gear cap for level 29, so it is only minor changes here and there. Currently, my stats are F:3137 (111984 smg dps) S:1641 (150929) E:960 (41966). Is that decent for 29? I am drawn between between my current support station and booster shot... any thoughts?

Hi maco, I love all your movie about gear set ect, and i wanna see a build about Hunter's Faith if you can do ! Talking about What do you think and what you want to change on this set !

I tried fighting 2 teams of rouges after 2 of my teammates died and even at 1,054,000 toughness they still kill me. Im pretty sure it was because they weren't standing in front of each other and every bullet was hitting me directly. plus i was doing battle with one guy trying to shoot me in the back. Lasted longer than i thought i would. Great build Marco!

Thanks bro

Nice video, lesrn more things now, tks

Amazing Video! You know the difference with you and other million unskilled youtubers? You come up with ideas that are out of the box. Obviously you could have made a barrets chest alpharetard build. But you chose to find something even better, as I am sure some of the people you were fighting and beat had barrets chest. Thanks for being MarcostyleNL ;) **Also for being down to earth, other recent youtubers with catchy titles and thumbnails can be sincere in a video but end up being toxic in game. You sir are a different breed. Was fun farming the bullet king with you ;) You dropped a crappy alphabridge backpack for me.

I'm going to have to give this a try tonight. I always get smashed in the dark zone when I go solo 😡

@marcostyle alpha bridge becomes even more powerful when you run it with 7 talents - for me its competent, which i unlock trough the hand shotgun, i activate it trough pulse or booster shot, switch to my m4 and fire with 7 talents

Great video! How did you get 736 health on the chest piece?

Massive should hire Marco.

one little thing to have in mind that heads hoot damage for the mods on the weapon is good if ur are an accurate shooter and always aim for the head But when the target moves a lot and u are hip firing which most players do head shoots mods are a waste... if I was u I would use critical chance on most and ur build would be much better belive me I tried it already... overall great vid like always Marco... like they say in the Netherlands cya later :)

Damn Marco you are king at this shit great fucking video dude

Thanks for sharing something that most gang squad rogues already know but that will make a more even play field. Or it will set PVP in this game back to what it was after 1.3 with tanks invincible players - until 1.6 that is, with Massive new plans for overhauling the PVP experience. Will they succeed? Well I presume one's anticipating judgement is likely to be based on how one assesses 1.4 for PVE... Have you done a video on 1.4 and 1.5 now they have been around for some time? I'd like... to be beg to differ probably.

That's what I want that build right there u can solo dz and pve with ease and be helpful for your teammates awesome. 👌

DUDE YOUR BUILD IS GREAT I KILLED 2 FOUR MEN SQUADS AND 1 MANHUNT ALL ALONE!!!!

Jeez Marco, just when I thought this was going to be alpha-boring, you do some crazy shit. A million toughness...A MILLION?!?!

@marcostyle will the mods on both guns effect the uncomplicated talent?

can you direct me to an earlier vid showcasing where to get alpha bridge from? trying to get back into division and this looks intense

omg, ben jouw van de week zoooooo veel tegen gekomen, nu snap ik waarom we je niet konden killen:)

I've stacked everything in electronics (full tactician, 342k Base skill) I run barretts chest and relentless or specialised. I run seeker mine and anything the team needs based on the situation. It's pretty strong in DZ, players don't expect the seeker mine to instantly kill them and it's a good counter to the 'up in your face' Alpha bridge agents.

Zieke build man

nice video

@marcostylenl yeah it's the alpha bridge cookie cutter build but I think you put a good spin on it for folks who don't have Barrett chest. that 30% Health is, in my opinion, kinda like the the specialized book bad in that it's good all the time. Even get a nice boost from signature when it procs. And you taught me something I missed in your other video about critical save and triage. thanks Marco! P.S. About the hackers. I watched the white chaos interview video with a hacker should goes on to describe how easy it is and how he's been doing it for ever and massive ither takes weeks or never does anything about it. I'm going to chalk it up to them focusing all there funds and man power on fixing bugs and pushing out content. But I do fear it will get to a point where people don't want to dark zone anymore because of it, then they'll have to put everything on hold to deal with it. they should tap WoW's Watchdog.

I'd like to see you make a build centred around tanking in cover. High-End talents Robust on the Chestpiece and Sturdy on the Holster give you extra armour when in cover. Increased my armour from around 50% to 64%. 350k toughness to 500k+ after the needed 4 seconds for the Sturdy talent paired with Robust. Pairing that with Smart Cover might make you very difficult to take down, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm still trying to think which gear set to pair it with.

Now i see math class really help in my life, to many numbers to a shooter game

If they dont bring back the other sets i'll fucking riot

Great vid. What skills/talents would you switch up when using this build in a group, if any?

@MarcoStyle, where do I get a hold of any blueprints for Prototype stamina mods? I basically have the same build as you Im just missing that edge on the stamina...

quick question if I do not equip stability nor accuracy mods on the FAMAS but i do on my other primary AR (lvoa or m4) does the uncomplicated talent get affected when using alpha bridge set?

I know that alphabridge is good but now that every one is running it I wanted something different so I'm focusing on something else that produce stat effects on players (having 4 pieces pred a ferros oxygen mask and even having intense on your primary) cause for the few times I've 1v1 or 1vMany in the dz I've found it game changing according to my play style ( also I'm a console player )... what do you think could a stat effect focused build for pvp top the Alpha build?

I 1v4'd rogues with this build and it works amazingly well, especially when groups underestimate your toughness and DPS untill you hit the medkit and heal, then you can just turn the tables and turn into a savage. This really is one of the best builds for solo in the dark zone.

not hopping on the barrett band wagon but i'm curious if you considered it while making this build. i gotta say, this looks like it would be a lot stronger. all that time spent grinding for one and i can't find a use for it. maybe an all high end build?

Get responsive or brutal (your choice) in the free slot on a G36 with destructive and unforgiving and then a FAMAS with vicious, deadly and uncomplicated. Use the G36 because it is naturally accurate and with responsive/brutal in the free slot you won't need any main stats rolled to fire arms. You will need to use all fire arms mods though so stacking enemy armour damage is very good. I have 330k DPS, 500k toughness and 100k skill power, 4 Alpha Bridge, Specialised and savage

Marco, is there anywhere specific you use for farming out gear mods?

Marco do you have any info on the difference in damage between armor pen vs damage out of cover or flat increases from competent in PvP? Is destructive better than competent? I haven't seen a tier list for talents. So if you can't get these ___ talents then is a 3 piece pred/striker better because the 8% dmg from pred and 10% armor pen from striker. Obviously you'll be squishier without refreshed mask.

nice video.. :)

hey man, i have competent, responsive unforgiving in my first gun (already calibrated) while the second one has vicious deadly destructive . which talent should i remove from the second one? Also is EDR still a meaningful stat for a chest piece? Thanks!

marco i

I watched this video like 5 times so far Bc I keep on forgetting what mods to use and gun mods

I prefer u make a video about how to optimize all the gear types. OR! a different approach to alpha thata build toward a support role. utilizing the skill power talent

Do you think that this build would also work in a group setting or just when for a solo player?

Are you going to finish the weapon guide and do for all weapons

What do you think of Barrett's chest piece?

i love this guys voice

Marco can you please do a DFN Shield build if you haven't done one already. Thanks in advance

Marco, would this also work on Banshee? with the two gold pieces as Banshee will give me 10% more / 10% less dmg when rogue or non rogue.

marco style what u said with triage and critical save its been like that since in 1.3

As always very solid build Macro, but somehow PVP in its current state or the way armor works in PvP feels somewhat inconsistent atm. We've been running similar solo builds that yields relatively similar results yet we've encountered individuals that will decimate us in a few hits while taking very little dmg from us despite having a 58% armor penetration over 340k base DPS over 400k toughness with 54% mitigation plus a Barrets chest (extra 10% toughness ) and in most encounters were pretty sure that those buffs that increase resistance werent procked. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Do an updated beginners guide for the people that have been out of the mix for a while. Please
