How to Unlock It

When Kenly College isn't available, exotic caches from weekly SHD projects and the season pass provide an alternative path to obtaining this exotic rifle.
Agonizing Bite, Explained
Mark a target and enjoy guaranteed critical hits for five seconds. Originally earned at Kenly College, reworked into a marking execution tool.
Build Tips
Diamondback shines in mark-and-burst DPS builds that capitalize on guaranteed crits. The Sharpshooter specialization's headshot damage bonuses pair perfectly since every marked shot crits. Equip the Airaldi Holdings set for bonus marksman damage and the Providence Defense set for critical hit damage. Since crits are guaranteed, you can focus other attributes on weapon damage and headshot damage instead of critical hit chance. For full setups see tested Division 2 builds.
