The Division 2 – Shock Armor Support Build

Build:

  • Specialization, Technician for +1 Skill Tier.
  • Main Weapon, St Elmo or The Cabaret.
  • Other Weapons, The Grudge or your pick, pistol any.
  • Skills, Shock Trap (Mandatory), Chemical Launcher Riot Foam or Blinder Firefly
  • Cores 1 blue, 5 yellow, will be Tier 6 with Technician perk.

Gear:

  • Mask Electrique any.
  • Chest Tardigrade Armor System.
  • Holster Empress or any skill tier based.
  • Backpack, Named Lavoisier “Perfect Galvanize” (Mandatory).
  • Gloves, Ferris with skill tier rolled or similar.
  • Kneepads, Emperors Guard or similar.
  • Mods, Protection from Elites or your choice,

The gear needs to get you to at least +5 tier skill, attributes try in order of importance +status effects, +haste, and +CHC/CHD as last acceptable one. Some of this gear can be whatever you want, mandatory piece is the backpack. The talent on the backpack can be refreshed constantly so it rocks. I choose the Tardigrade exotic chest piece to further support team but it is optional. I choose to use The Grudge weapon as secondary due to all the status effects going off, getting a kill with Grudge boosts the teams critical stats.

Tactics:

This is a team support build, it’s your job to help control the mobs and even drones flying in with traps, when anything gets shocked all nearby teammates get bonus armor. Pop your large +6 tier shock trap out ahead of where team is attacking from. If some mobs slip through use the riot foam to stop or blinder firefly. I prefer riot foam due to 6 tier skill gives you 7 ammo. Between all this use your main gun and help with dps, once some enemies have set off 5 or so traps reset the traps by canceling and the cooldown should be low or ready again. It will be almost non stop bonus armor due to all the traps plus riot foam triggering your backpack talent.

This is a fun support build but lacks damage, using it is best when you have a couple good shooters/skillers on your team with low armor. I have another support build on the way that does high damage and buffs the team “Future Buff” on the way soon.
