Division 2 Build System: Deadlier [Foundational] Weapon Damage

WELCOME Have enemies been bullet sponges even though you have high Crit numbers? In this module of The Build System Series, we dive deep into creating a mental model to clarify your character’s damage foundation, whether you’re Level 40+ optimizing for Heroics or still leveling up with mixed gear. Learn why a strong Weapon Damage base is the backbone of every DPS build and get ready to make every bullet count. TACTICAL NOTES An all-red build is not necessarily the answer to everything – context is king. This video prepares people for Raids and Incursions where there is ideally a Healer on the team, allowing others to focus on DPS. In such cases, DPS players are disciplined in use of cover so as to not overtax the Healer's Restorer Hive. If you are doing general gaming with random players, consider having a Skill provide some form of healing, some degree of armor and armor regeneration, and have an Assault Turret accompany your firepower while distracting enemies from focusing on you.

Many players have struggled reaching high damage numbers. Dedicated players have tried to discover the way damage is calculated, but navigating the formula is like walking through a minefield in the dark. "Deadlier Weapon Damage" helps you understand the basis of Weapon Damage and how to broaden your foundation so that any multiplicative growth only becomes deadlier.
