Many The Division 2 players are trying to finish the raid, which is proving to be extremely difficult. Operation Dark Hours has proven to be a competent endgame activity, throwing ample challenge at players. Players' experience is a bit of a mixed bag, with the raid being especially difficult on consoles, while other teams on PC are now basically speedrunning the raid at this point. While there are multiple builds available to get through the raid, this build that comes via YouTuber WiLLiSGaming is an effective build that focuses on pure DPS.

The weapon loadout here starts with an assault rifle, with the one shown in the video being the Custom P416 G3. Assault rifles were buffed in the last patch and are highly effective in the raid. The exotic weapon of choice in this build is the Chatterbox, which is used mainly for its holstered perk that increases the rate of fire of the currently equipped weapon after getting a kill, which allows for more damage of that primary assault rifle in this DPS-focused build.

When it comes to gear, Division 2 players should focus on buffing weapon damage most of all, even above critical hit chance or damage against elites. That's because there are many enemy types in the raid that do not have critical hit areas and there are also places where players need to shoot and damage inanimate objects that once again do not have a critical hit spot that those perks can take advantage of. Players should also be looking for buffs to assault rifles on their gear as well. Granted, even in the build example here, some of those stats for buffing critical hits, damage to elites, as well as some armor and health bonuses are going to appear on players' gear which is fine. But again, the focus should be on stacking as much pure weapon damage as possible.

The Gila Guard brand set is a good choice for the raid with its Hazard Protection perk, as there are times that players are electrocuted or set on fire. Although not necessary, WillisGaming also has the perk Patience on his kneepads, which passively heals while in cover and can prove useful in the raid.

As for the Specialization of choice, WillisGaming recommends Survivalist for three main reasons. The class grants more assault rifle damage, it gives players the highly effective Incendiary Grenade, and the Distributed Repair perk which allows for armor kit repairs to apply to the entire raid team.
