The Division: How to Create a Good Build in Underground (1.3 Update)

We all know that there’s no such thing as a best generic build in The Division as agents build their character in the game with their personal preferences. You can’t just say to anyone that you should go electronic to agents that you want to be a tank or a DPS.

So, what we’ll be doing instead is recommend some weapons, talents, stat rolls and gear combinations to help you make your very own build. Take note that this guide is not a nitty-gritty article with numbers and calculations. It’s a straight-forward guide (based from player experiences) which suggests the best options for making the best build in The Division after 1.3 Underground update.

So let’s begin.

For your weapons, we suggest getting:

1. SMG- Mp5 (full auto not burst fire) / Mp7 / Aug (even with the nerf it's still my favorite gun) / Pp-19
2. Assault rifles- G36* at the moment the G36 is bugged, use nothing but this gun until nerf, lol / Lvoa-C / ACR / Scar-L / Caduceus* (named weapon)
3. Shotguns- Black Market SASG / M870 / Super 90
4. Marksmen Rifles- M1A / Custom M44 / Svt
5. LMG's- L86 / RPK-74 / M60
6. Sidearms- First Wave X-45

For weapon talents, you should try rolling the following:

• Deadly
• Brutal
• Fierce (only in the last spot)
• Accurate (a nice counter to M1A nerf)
• Self Preserved
• Responsive
• Skilled (only on the last spot)
• Coolheaded (only in the last spot)
• Competent (only in the last spot)
• Destructive
• Capable
• Ferocious (only in last spot)
• Harmful* (only recommended on a pistol)
• Toxic* (only recommended on a sniper)

Next stop is the gear combination:

• 5 striker + HE savage gloves
• 5 striker + HE Vigorous or Reckless chest piece
• 5 Sentry + HE savage gloves
• 5 sentry + HE Vigorous or Reckless chest piece
• 4 sentry + 2 final measure
• 4 sentry + 2 B.L.I.N.D
• 4 Tactician + 2 Final measure
• 4 Reclaimer + 2 Tactician
• 4 Reclaimer + 2 Final Measure
• 4 Reclaimer + 2 B.L.I.N.D
• 4 Alpha-bridge + 2 Final Measure
• 4 Alpha-bridge + 2 Tactician
• 4 Alpha-bridge + 2 Sentry
• 4 Predators Mark + HE Savage gloves + HE Reckless or Vigorous chest
• 4 Predators Mark + 2 Sentry
• 4 Predators Mark + 2 Final Measure
• 3 Predators Mark + 3 Firecrest

*** A few of these combo's are only Xbox and PC at the moment because of the Underground.

And lastly for the stat rolls:

• Chest - (2 native mod slots)
• + armor (must have)
• + exotic damage resilience
• + Health on kill
• Mask - (1 native mod slot)
• + skill power
• + crit hit chance
• + exotic damage resilience
• Knee pads - (1 native mod slot)
• + crit hit damage
• + armor
• + exotic damage resilience
• Backpack - (1 native mod slot)
• + skill power
• + crit hit damage
• + armor
• Gloves - (no mod slots)
• + crit hit damage
• + crit hit chance
• + preferred weapon damage
• + health on kill (wouldn't recommend but some people swear by health on kill)
• Holster - (no mod slots)
• +armor (this is the only thing you should roll on your holster)

So there you have it guys. Hope this simple guide will help you in some way.
