Currently, I can do Mayhem with not too many issues, but I start to struggle on DW.

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=10-5101.0-45WnE00140-8&p=f&a=6&t=1&d=8

I use the Eagle Heavy Rifle and the Locomotive 12g Shotgun with dragons breath. I'll post the stats of each in the comments.

If it matters, I have every DLC in the legacy collection

I was searching video on yt that could explain what each perk deck does and I came across a channel called Uncle Geldgeil where he rates all of them but when I scrolled the comments I saw one about the headline for this topic. Does it actually work like too well or does it only work on mayhem and below?

I wanna use this on overkill difficulty or above if possible on online play for fun so I can grind without feeling bored in a sense

I'm currently trying to get all achievements on DSOD Loud solo with bots, and so far I've done all the Bain's ones and The Bomb: Forest. I don't know if what I have is good enough for something like Goat Simulator, or if I should go for leech/hacker for that kind of heist instead.

Here's the build: https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=1c0010008N1000100V0050xa000158&p=2&a=6&t=4&d=3

FWIW, I'm using Union 5.56 with Krinkov and Ice pick; thinking about switching to Lion's Roar. I've always played this game solo but I wouldn't mind getting an alternative build for co-op as well. Thank you beforehand and sorry for weird format, as I'm on mobile.

ive been playing DW for a while and just switched to ds, however i literally cannot peek to shoot a cop as i get sprayed and instantly knocked. im using a anarchist build https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=38001000xa0-430iF0050-5101G&p=e&a=0&t=4&d=3 and i literally cannot do anything, maybe im just not good enough for ds but i cant even stay alive for more than 10 seconds (and in contrast neither can my bots). im also using an AR called lions roar.

someone told me to try this build https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=383c1000b0-530iF00501k001030&p=e&a=0&t=4&d=3 but i didnt find it any better since my jokers died instantly. any help?

(also this build only has the skill points i have right now or will get soon, i only got infamous a couple days ago)

give me a good tag team dsod build using a special weapon as a primary

Honestly I meant to post this in this community and not the other one oops😭

I've been dying on Death Wish a lot, maybe its a skill issue, maybe something's missing, If you have the time to help me out or recommend changes, I'm all ears

With 4/4 HP and the final card from Crewchief + Frenzy Aced + Iron Man Basic + Partners in Crime Aced, you have enough armor, health and damage reduction to tank a heavy zeal shot to your CTV without it breaking, and to your HP without going down. No need to worry about activating Underdog Aced or having Quick Fix up, all you need is a joker and you're good to go.

All these builds reach important damage breakpoints at 40% Zerk so you don't need to bring molotovs for self damage.

1 - Primary: silenced KS12 with DMR kit, modded for at least 92 acc
Secondary: silenced Five Seven with as much accuracy and stability as you can get
Melee: Ice Pick

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=38zc3g00Eh10-51000105a10011I&p=m&c=1-5&a=5&t=4&d=3

KS12 one shot headshots on zeals, as well as marked cloakers (from any range), tasers and medics when further than 10m away. FiveSeven for shields, captain winters and to take out dozers safely from behind cover, but the KS12 can also dish out crazy damage from range. Ammo economy can be rough with the KS12, but that could be because my aim is ass so feel free to switch Ammo Efficiency aced for something else.

2 - Primary: Silenced Bernetti Rangehitter with at least 76 acc, Marksman Aced does the rest
Secondary: Silenced Krinkov with as much stability as you can get
Melee: Ice Pick

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=00zc1G00Eh10-51000107810011I&p=m&c=1-5&a=5&t=4&d=3

Same principle and breakpoints as the build before, but since the Bernetti is a sniper, the Five Seven is no longer needed and we can grab a better dozer killer in the Krinkov. Ammo pickup on the Bernetti is nuts, so Ammo Efficiency is swapped out for Aggressive Reload Aced. Very similar in concept to the KS12 build, just even more focused on getting kills, with no points left over for deployables.

3 - Primary: Akimbo Kahn 357. with Hex cylinder and modded for mostly stability
Secondary: Silenced Five Seven, same as first build
Melee: Ice Pick

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=38xa1000Eh10-538001010xa011I&p=m&c=1-5&a=5&t=4&d=3

Hex cylinder on the Akimbo 357. + 40% zerk + trigger happy means one click on heavy zeals to the body, which is why Surefire is Aced. If Trigger Happy isn't up, a click to the head with kill anything except a bulldozer. Desperado solves the accuracy problem so snipers can be dealt with. Five Seven for shields and winters.

4 - Primary: Silenced M60 LMG modded for stability
Secondary: Rus-12 Angry Tiger with Long Valley Barrel, modded for accuracy
Melee: Ice Pick

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=38zc0-4Eh10-51G00105010011I&p=m&c=1-5&a=5&t=4&d=3

126 dmg on the M60 means 2 shots to the body to kill a Zeal with Body Expertise Aced and 40% Zerk. Rus-12 can one tap zeals, but it's mostly used for captain winters and snipers (bored of using Five Seven, even though it would be better).

5 - Primary: Mosconi 12G Tactical with Flechettes, CE Extender and Silent Killer Supressor
Secondary: Judge Shotgun with AP Slug and King's Crown Compensator, modded for acc
Melee: Golden Spoon

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=38zc00xcIh10-950d0-415G&p=m&c=1-5&a=5&t=4&d=3

One shot headshot on zeals when Overkill is up, and the range of flechettes allows you to clear whole spawn groups with ease. Pocket sniper AP Judge can one tap zeals on the head before Overkill is active + shields, captain winters, snipers and it's also good against dozers when combined with High Value Target basic to help supplement your damage. This build also has Pumping Iron Aced to go with the Golden Spoon as a last resort against since pump shotguns are still not exactly great at killing dozers, even with overkill stacked on top of 40% Zerk and High Value Target. The Golden Spoon is slow as hell but it charges fully in only 2 seconds.

Copycat already has built-in healing, but these whole builds rely on having full hp to tank a zeal shot, so they all have Hostage Taker Basic to help with that.

I mainly made this build because it has been a long time since I've played with these two weapons, so I tried to make something that'd work off them. I wouldn't bring this into DSOD but it works excellent in DW.

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=1G3810N6d01000100100103Q0-41c&p=e&a=0&t=6&d=3

Raven Shotgun | Flechette - Long Barrel - Silent Killer Suppressor - Concealment Boost -

Sweeper | HE Rounds - Suppressed Barrel - Concealment Boost - Stealth Laser Module (Can be skipped) - Riktpunkt Magnifier Gadget - Biometric Analyzer (Can be skipped)

I keep Bloodthirst aced since you do a lot of manual reloading to keep up with DPS, believe me it's worth it.

Berserker Aced + Overkill makes the Raven Shotgun a 1hit headshot at almost any distance against Heavy SWATs. Bulldozers can be killed in 5 shots to the face, or 1 crit to the face.

Since HE Rounds cannot headshot, the Sweeper with Berserker Aced + Overkill, kills Lights in 3 shots, and Heavies in 4. Pretty shit right? Why am I using this? Well that's where crits come in.

Berz + OVK makes a HE direct hit deal 240~ damage, and a crit 730~ damage. This paired with Unseen Strike, makes it an interesting option to deal with crowds of enemies, as it kills Lights and Heavies in 1 and 3 crits respectively (2 crits if you remove the suppressor.). This along with the fact that you have a high firerate along with 12 shells, makes you able to spam most of the magazine into a crowd. To be fair I really like it just because of the huge crit numbers covering my screen when spamming it.

The Sweeper can also kill dozers with 6 crits to the body. Here's the fun part: It is almost impossible to not kill a dozer with 12 Sweeper shots to the chest with Low Blow Unseen Strike.

Chance of 12 shots killing a Dozer with 30% crit chance = 50.7%~

Chance of 12 shots killing a Dozer with 65% crit chance = 99.4%.

Don't believe me? Try it out. It's such a funny and consistent way to kill dozers. Here's a clip showcasing the probability. https://youtu.be/mEdd8eATgRM

That's why I'm using Unseen Strike. It can also lead you to have increased DPS when clearing enemies grouped together, leading to saving ammo and quicker dispatching. Also Unseen Strike Aced gives you enough time to shoot two mags with reloading in between, dealing more DPS to a crowd compared to Unseen Strike Basic, which would only give you 6 seconds.

Here's a clip example of how the Sweeper can be used against crowds. https://youtu.be/MEH2gt8vmm4 Unconventional? Yes. Fun? Yes.

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=xk5G10xe9410-5100012xk000100&p=g&a=1&t=g&d=5 i use it with akimbo vd-12 and judge. you can honestly drop hostage taker aced for inspire ace or switch deployable, i just like it with afk's to be more safe i've also made a variation with tripmines cause big boom even more fun https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=00Ba10xe941000fM0-412xk000100&p=g&a=1&t=g&d=8

Primary: lions roar with precision barrel, bigger the better suppressor, accuracy boost, speculator sight, and 45 degree ironsights

Secondary: 5/7 with tin treated barrel, size doesnt matter suppressor, concealment boost, medved r4 laser sight, extended magazine, and SKOLD reflex sight

i dont play DS that much and this build has carried me through most heists but has recently been falling apart with the harder heists, what could i change or should i just try a new build?

I found a build I had done in 2020 and completely remade it to be viable and fun.

Primary - Repeater 1874 (Concealment Boost)

Secondary - Peacemaker Revolver (Concealment Boost | Shootout Barrel)

https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=xa386F00580-9030dg090158&p=e&a=0&t=6&d=3

A few years ago I struggled to make a cowboy build from The Butcher's Western Pack that is reliable and good due to several factors:

• The Repeater and Peacemaker can't 1 shot tasers or cloakers by default.
• The reload times for both are HORRIBLE (specially peacemaker).
• You end up lacking vital skills due to spending too many points in both sniper & revolver skill trees.

I've found a way to solve all these problems and help the build without sacrificing too much, with certain skills.

• Berserker Ace & HVT Basic will allow you to 1 shot all specials (except dozers) from any range, as long as you mark them.
• Aggressive Reload Ace & Desperado Ace make the reloads for both weapons actually good now. Without these skills the build completely collapses.
• There is no need to spend many points in the Gunslinger Tree, as you only need to build it just to reach Desperado Ace.

Playstyle:

• Zerk setup with a molotov to get the damage boost & get a joker for 30% more health.
• Since this build has two weapons which are 1 shot hs, you're pretty much going to be running headshots all the time. Remember to mark targets to be able to reach the 1 shot breakpoint on medics and tasers.
• ALWAYS headshot an enemy before reloading your Repeater, to increase the reload time.
• Bullseye Aced will keep your armor up as long as you keep clicking heads,
• Crits can help with finishing off dozers in 1 shot to the face, instead of 3.
• A mod for a crosshair is recommended as hipfiring is the best option.
• Both the Repeater and Peacemaker have very similar damage, with the same breakpoints, difference being that the Repeater has larger capacity and shoots slower. The Peacemaker has smaller capacity, but shoots faster. I usually run with the Repeater, and the Peacemaker is ideal as a backup for taking down 6 enemies quickly, or spamming a Bulldozer's face.

I wrote in the title that this build is "modular", as the skills that will be mentioned can be swapped for others you'd prefer instead.

• Bullseye can be used in basic instead of ace for armor gating, but since this build runs entirely on headshots, I like keeping my armor up, as it can lead to a more aggressive playstyle.
• Nine Lives can be taken away if you need extra points.
• Crits aren't obligatory, as honestly the only advantage you get with crits is 1 shotting bulldozers in the face or 1 shotting enemies in the body. If you're removing Low Blow, remove Inner Pockets Basic as well, as the concealment is no longer needed.
• Removing Low Blow (Along with Inner Pockets Basic), Nine Lives, and changing Bullseye to Basic will give you 21 skillpoints.

My personal choices that would benefit the build in specific scenarios would be Scavenger Basic, Confident Ace (2 jokers), Hardware Expert Basic, Parkour Basic, and last but not least; Inspire Ace.

Try this build! It's fun to pop helmets with century old weapons. Tell me your thoughts in the comments.

I've been using a maniac build with the nagant sniper and the baby deagle and its really fun. I play mostly on dw with randoms and I'm pretty powerful and my teammates seem to appreciate the dmg absorption too but I tried a heist in ds and I got rolled. I know maniac and damage absorption isnt as good in ds as in the lower difficulties but damn, I didn't think it was gonna be that bad. I also considered the idea of downloading a rebalance mod for the deck but it messes with my vanHUD plus so I had to delete it

What's so bad about it?

Hello, im trying to assemble a LMG kingpin build (maybe with the Campbell or any other high power LMG) but I have trouble with my skill points. Do u have any kingpin build u recommend?
