Division 2 Core Strength gear set dropped with Year 8 Season 1 and a lot of players are asking the same question — is it actually good, or just another weak hybrid?
In this deep dive I run real data on multiple Core Strength builds (pure DPS, skill-focused, and tank/hybrid) and compare them head-to-head against Striker, Refactor, and other top sets using actual burst DPS numbers, armor values, skill health, duration, and more.
You’ll see exactly where Core Strength shines, where it falls short, and how to fix your build so it actually performs.
