alpha bridge set good?

[Villain]

just want to know

[ebisek]

I don't think so. I use final measuring for PvE and Strikers for PvP.

[Eneco]

yes, it is.

[Play refreshed]

maybe i go also for alpha then, but now i prefer nomad - saved a lot of incursions runs (on heroic). i like the effect, which is very useful, that is allowed every 4 minutes to "die", then "born again" with full health, and if the enemys too strong, i have my ulti as last option :)

I actually have a AB set with AR. Thinking of trying a sniper build next with it. it's an ok set, but you will be focuesed on your main weapon.

Alpha bridge is still pretty decent for pve content.. But i prefer striker or defence over alpha bridge anyday these days... Heck, firecrest and reclaimer are good to or tactician... High end builds with specialised, shortbow kneepads and mc skullgloves are also very good.

Here's why AB is kinda good. It makes all weapon talents "free" regaurdless of your stats from firearms to electronics. You also get the free talent from your second weapon, which is ok. Compared to what it used to be, you got all weapon talents. But you needed to have the requirements. Most people think this is a nerf, me on the other hand, not so much.

Now since the classifed gear sets are coming out in 1.7, I have a feeling we will be seeing AB give you all the talents, but it will ether be a proc, or just straight up unlock both your primery and secondary weapon talents. What would be interesting is if massive made it so that you do not need to have the same weapon, but you get the free talents (or 6 total free talents because of the 4 piece bonus) to apply to any weapon. So say I have a sniper and a shotgun, I get all the talents for both regaurdless. OP I know, but come on, the classified set is suppost to be OP.

Actually AB when it had all the talents, you could have like 9 talents which was to OP by the time... It's just more balanced now.. It's not weak or strong.

My best gear set so far: 4 pcs Striker + 2 pcs Nomad + Predatory talent on each weapon. You will understand later why.

It is definitely a good set. You dont need to worry about investing Firearms/Stamina/Electronics carefully where you dont really want. I would personally recommend it for assault rifles and SMGs. I like using the Burst Fire MP5 ST for SMG build and Liberator for assault rifle build. For PvE activities you can use the ammunition support station if you are running out of ammo.

Btw guys, primary and secondary gun must be same type. Thats mean, machine gun + machine gun. And Assault rifle+Assault rifle... or it requires same guns like an pakhan+pakhan?

And another question, talents. Game hint say "Guns must have shared (or free) talent". whats about talents? I dont understand this statement (btw I have Division in local language). Both guns must have same talents, like a "destructive" or "ferocious"?

The free talent is the third talent (the last one) of the weapon, with no points restrictions. If you have two assault rifles, eg. an ACR (the free talent DESTRUCTIVE) and a Lightweight M4 (the free talent RESPONSIVE), both weapons will have both talents. And these weapons will share the same AMMO like for a single assault rifle.

BTW, the Alphabridge gear set talents sharing don't work for exotic weapons.

You share the free talent between weapons if the weapons are the same class and not exotic. Free talent=3rd weapon talent in slot. Doesn't have to be the same weapon, just has to be in the same class of weapons. And exotic talents cannot be shared with other weapons, but the exotic weapon can gain the free talent if the other weapon is in the same class and not exotic. Also the free talents do not stack (i.e. if both free talents are destructive, you arent going to get 30% armor damage) so make sure they are different if you want the free talents to be shared between guns.

If built properly, alphabridge absolutely shreds npcs to bits. I run a reckless 9000 firearms alphabridge setup with a destructive accurate mdr as the main gun, and a secondary acr with ferocious in the free slot. With about 57% enemy armor damage and 57% damage to elites, body shots to elite mobs hit close to 160k and headshots around 365k. Pop a flashbang sticky and now bodyshots hit around 180k and around 430k headshots due the mdr's distracted talent.
