The Division 2 Raid Builds: This article outlines all the raid builds I use with my team for both raids in The Division 2. There are two key reasons for sharing this:
- I frequently get asked about my builds, so this serves as a go-to resource for anyone interested.
- Those looking to join my team and support my raid streams can use this as a reference for the required builds.
Additionally, to become a Team GC recruit, you’ll need a specific set of builds before I can officially enroll you. At the end of this article, I’ll cover the builds required to join us as a recruit.
If you prefer a video format, you can check out my build showcase below.
