I'm still kind of new to the whole buildcrafting aspect, being only SHD Watch Level 79. However, I have more or less gravitated towards making an Ongoing Directive based DPS build for casual play (Not gonna bother with endgame content but simply play easier things for the love of the game).

That being said, I've been struggling to decide on which Specialization could match well with OD, as while I've tried them all, I can't say I have felt particularly enticed with them. Any tips on which specs have better synergy with the gear set? Ideally give me a reason to pick one out of 2-3 instead of just telling me "This one's the best".

So I'm admittedly still fairly new to Div2, having only reached Watch Level 45 and still stumbling through Hard-Challenging difficulty, all the while trying to get my first few gear sets together (Thank you Summit for being very useful at this).

But I don't really plan on minmaxing my way into meta loadouts, and instead have been looking to collect weapons and gear that would fit loadouts after a theme. So I was wondering if I'm not alone and if anyone else has cooked some interesting loadouts, whether they be references to pop culture (Such as using iconic weapons from other media) or based on equipment used in real armed conflicts, I'd love to hear you out!

Here's an example:

Civil Protection (Half-Life 2 cosplay)

Primary: Any MP7 variant

Secondary: Any SPAS-12 variant

Sidearm: Either a Police 686 (.357 Magnum) or the Gunner spec's P320 (Closest thing to the USP Match, as a high capacity 9mm pistol)

Grenade: Concussion

Skill 1: Any Firefly variant (Closest thing to a Manhack I can think of)

Skill 2: Seeker Mine (Rollermines ahoy)

Cosmetics: Wear some kind of gasmask, preferably white.
