Overpowered Street Sweeper Build [Death Wish Faceroll'ed]
By wat [VR]
Hello! I'm the author of the popular The Annihilator Build and co-author of The Punisher Build. I wasn't planning on making a guide after update 100 (i.e. skill revamp), because the current Death Wish difficulty is a complete joke (it is pretty much the equivalent of Very Hard prior to update 100). Nonetheless, this build is extremely strong for slayers with insanely high survivability and fun, despite the common belief that Street Sweeper is an inferior choice of a secondary. Hence I'd like to share it with you all. However, I will not dive into details about this build since I expect an overall nerf to current skills in the near future. Enjoy while it lasts!

Pros and Cons
Pros:
  • FUN
  • kill a sh*t load
  • almost 100% DPS uptime
  • very high ammo sustain (Street Sweeper)
  • fast weapon swap (life-saving clutch moments etc.)
  • extended effective range (all the way up to mid-long range)
  • insanely high survivability
  • anti-Taser
  • anti-Cloaker
  • Bullseye armor regen + 2 seconds of invulnerability from Armorer Perk

Cons (no Cons tbh, just nitpick here):
  • more shots needed to kill Bulldozers
  • ineffective against very long range targets (snipers etc.)
The Build & Build in Action
You should be able to find all the info about this build in the following video. Should you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comment section below or refer to the FAQ section.
Build Variations
Build Variation #1 (more powerful but riskier):





Build in action - Framing Frame Day 3 DW Loud (No Downs)
Build in action - Boiling Point DW Loud Duo (No Downs/AI/Assets)

Build Variation #2 (by Kriegstic):
(starting from 45:50)

Build Variation #3 (Steakout 12G + Pistol Crossbow):
Steakout 12G is arguably a better shotgun than Street Sweeper due to its reload mode, a much larger magazine and otherwise quite similar stats. However, as Pistol Crossbow is much weaker compared to Light Crossbow, as far as I'm concerned, this build is somewhat less powerful than the original build. Nevertheless, a magazine size of 35 is unmatched when it comes to clutch moments or to clear a clusterf*ck.






Build in action - Birth of Sky DW Loud Duo (No Downs/AI/Assets)
Build in action - Alesso DW Loud Duo (No Downs/AI/Assets)
FAQs
#1
Q: What would you recommend to replace light crossbow?
A: None. Light crossbow is a key element that makes this build so strong. However, if you really don't have access to it, although not recommended, feel free to use an HE shotgun or a grenade launcher or wait for DLCs to be on sale (which happens like half the time of the year >_>).

#2:
Q: What's the minimum infamy required for this build?
A: If i'm not mistaken, although I'm not 100% sure about this, you need to be at least infamy III to be able to use this build.

@ mkzthei
Yes, I have tried it. It's good, but i'm not that impressed because Anarchist encourages more defensive playstyle.

Wat are you already try this build using anarchist?
