Try it with umbra initiative, foxes prayer, contractors gloves. 3 blue cores is how i run it personally. Lets you fully kill one target, reload and regen / build crit damage, then move to the next target instead of trying to mark targets while they rush you.

I was today years old when I found out that yes, unlike Exotics in other games (Minus Destiny 2 with Hawkmoon and Ergo Sum), Division 2's Exotics have randomized Perks.

I tried it with the drone and shield and found it ok. The shield means you don’t have to look for cover all the time and the drone distracts enemies making head shots easy. It’s down to preference at the end of the day.

Ive been playing with it since the start of Y6. I think the build i am using is pretty solid. It's a pretty easy build to reroll some attributes, change some mods, and then you have a build suitable for a standard Crit rifle build, which means i have been going back and forth between the Diamondback and an M1A every now and then when i start getting frustrated with the D-back. Anyway, i like the weapon a lot, i just have a few problems with it: 1.) I dislike how it chooses a random target. Sometimes the target being selected is not the optimal target to hit, even if it is the closer target. Sometimes i want to hit a drone operator or a grenadier slightly further away instead. 2.) It does not target enemies beyond a certain distance. When i am doing control points, for example, i often have to sit there for a minute waiting for enemies to get closer to me. This is frustrating because i am using Bloodsucker as my only means of sustain, and losing the stacks is just a pain in the ass. 3.) It will target enemies sitting in cover, and they will stay in cover so long by the time they pop their head out, they are no longer the target. I think the weapon would have been so much better if the perk was slightly reworked. Instead of painting a random target, pain a target when you hit them, and when you hit the painted target you get guaranteed crits for the next 5 seconds. If they feel like that makes it too easy to use, then make it so you have to hit a headshot to paint the enemy. It would make the weapon feel so much less clunky.

Since you get garanteed crits. Wouldnt the best builds for this gun specifically feature both crit dmg and headshot damage attributes despite them being additive.. attributes. Mainly for PC where you can more consistently hit headshots. Then a chainkiller chest piece to hit absurd numbers. Im on PS5 and i have potato aim and headshot builds require me to have determined lol, but the diamond back Cdmg/HS might actually fix the weakness of a headshot build where helmets and warhounds etc take 0 dmg. Diamond back could still do some damage where other sniper builds are useless.

If you use the Ninjabike Kneepads you get free reload on cover to cover or vaulting over obstacles.

Love your well-balanced analysis with all the pros-and-cons! Very well presented, thank you. You almost made a terrible weapon look good, and that takes some skill 👏

The Diamondback is usually an exotic I desconstruct on-site. Looks interesting here, will have to try it on the build ya outlined.

Wow! Thanks Tux another video I needed to see I just made a diamond back build I found out the hard way can't play aggressive. Because it was happening to me it would point to a mark target on the side of me or even behind me. It was frustrating it makes sense now why that was happening can't play aggressive got it thanks.🤔🤔👍👍👌🙏

I actually love the Diamondback, but it requires I play differently. More behind cover, more defensively. I enjoy the DB with Negotiators, Palisades with Intimidate and Palisades with Adrenalin Rush. 3 Armor cores, Gunner, with Drone and Shield

When i started the video, i knew ND was coming. Its a crit monster. BTW i run a determined/sacrifice/gift build for solo heroic. 1 shot, Headhunter not required. Diamondback is my secondary for times when faster rate of fire is preferred.

I really enjoy Diamond 3 zwiadow glass, fox bigger mag really make difference . Neg is always great option, no problem in open world 👊✌️

I am using its excellent diamond rifle but problem is reloading bullets.

Love this weapon even without scope zoom ❤😊

Yo i got an EB from dark zone when i was leveling my Mule character i was level 32.

Would be nice if they added or changed its talents to while u have the buff you dont lose ammo as long as you the enemy.

I use mine all the time and I love it

My first build using Breaking point and Zwiandowka with the UIC15 MOD2 with flatline is great, over 2 mil dmg. It's exactly the same set up as yours but I'm using the new gear set. Obviously my first build using it, but not bad for the first try.

What OUTFIT you wearing? Everyone seems to be wearing that but I dont have that outfit.

Its awesone for golden bullet

Tux, I really like your videos, but please, for the love of (insert whatever here), turn down that music your voice is comepting with! And thanks for the great content again. 😊

Is kenly college back up?

i want to play heartland

The Diamondback should have been as good as the Scorpio just because they made us slog through Kenley College to get it.

....aaaaannnnnddddd #Rifles2Aces .

bad idea......................................

It is good but the reload sucks.
