Perhaps more so than many of the other looter shooters on the market, The Division 2 gives players deep and complex options to construct builds that will serve specific roles that a player is trying to achieve. As players reach the endgame, they'll find countless ways to combine different builds based on the three Specializations, skills, weapon types, or capitalizing on specific exotics.

Game Rant suggested some of the best Division 2 PvP builds already, and now it is time to look at the best PvE builds currently in the game.

1. DPS and Survivability Solo Build

Many players who may be playing The Division 2 solo will definitely want to take a look at this build from YouTuber LethalvD. The strengths of the build are on damage and survivability, which obviously benefits solo players who don't have a squad to revive them and have to take down enemies on their own.

Weapons:

Assault Rifle or LMG

  • Focus on Critical Hit and Damage to Elites mods.
  • Talents: Strained, Allegro, Protected Reload

The Chatterbox Exotic SMG

Skills:

  • Reviver Hive
  • Fixer Drone

Specialization: Survivalist

2. Unlimited Ammo LMG Build

This build comes from YouTuber Mtashed and focuses on using an LMG and, if players can focus fire specific areas of higher-tiered enemies, it will give them the ability to fire nearly unlimited ammo out of their LMG by combining it with the Liberty exotic sidearm.

Weapons:

Classic M60 or other LMG

  • Talents: Strained, Allegro, Protected Reload

Liberty Sidearm

This build revolves around the Liberty exotic sidearm and its passive perk "Independence," which when holstered refills 20% of the current weapon's magazine when destroying weakpoints on enemies. So as long as players use their LMG and hit weakpoints on elite enemies, the magazine will continue to be refilled.

Equipment:

  • Airaldi Holdings gloves with Obliterate talent and Accuracy increase
  • Wyvern Wear knee pads with Braced Perk
  • Douglas & Holding holster with Critical Hit Damage and Precise talent

Skills:

  • Reviver Hive
  • Fixer Drone

Specialization: Demolitionist

  • Onslaught
  • Crisis Response
  • X-Stat Armor Kit

3. Close Quarters SMG Build

This last PvE build comes from InigoMontoyaTV, and is focused on the use of SMGs. Once again it will deal out high damage and increase the player's survivability considering that players will need to be up close and in the fray to get the most out of the dual-SMG loadout. This works well in both solo and group play.

Weapons:

Vector SMG

  • Talents: Close & Personal and Allegro

The Chatterbox Exotic SMG

Equipment

Armor talents to be looking for with this build are Clutch (gives armor and health when getting critical hits) and Safeguard (killing an enemy gives 150% bonus to repairing and healing effects for 20 seconds), which will synergize together to give strong healing and survivability. Because of the focus on SMGs in this build, getting equipment that gives a damage increase to SMGs or Critical Hit Chance is definitely a must-have.

  • Wyvern Wear knee pads with Braced Perk
  • Douglas & Holding holster with Critical Hit Damage and Precise talent

Skills:

  • Reinforcer Chem Launcher
  • Reviver Hive

Specialization: Demolitionist

  • Spray and Pray
  • Crisis Response

These are just some of the options that players have in The Division 2. As World Tier 5 unlocks and the game's first 8-player raid is released, there will undoubtedly be more gear earned in those activities for players to further optimize their builds.

The Division 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
