By Sep
Do you like Wolf? Do you like shotgun? Do you enjoy high difficulty? Do you own only the vanilla version of Payday 2 & not interest to use the usual Joker build? Look no further cause this is where the build is all about.

Viability

When you are pretty badass, you don't need sunglasses to show how tough you are & neither the need to hide behind a mask. Just pack your gun & go in like a boss. Welcome to The Big Bad Wolf build, a build that specializes on shotgun that doesn't require Payday 2: Ultimate Edition to be used.

This build is viable with One Down enable at Death Sentence difficulty but can be rather challenging to use since it doesn't use Joker & only vanilla shotgun weapons. But... Hey!! Isn't that the point of being tough at first place?

FAQ
For this section, I would answer all those FAQ regarding this build.

Q: Why Level 100?
A: To maximize the potential of the build with 120 skill point.

Q: Can I use it despite not having 120 skill point?
A: You can, but it is not recommended with One Down enable or in Death Sentence difficulty.

Q: Why is Wooden Sniper Stock not used for IZHMA 12G Shotgun?
A: I want IZHMA 12G Shotgun to have decent accuracy without compromising it's spread radius. A high accuracy means a tighter spread and less enemy being hit by the pellet, the Wooden Sniper Stock simply grant a huge buff in term of accuracy (+12).

Instead of being productive with the additional accuracy, it ends up being counterproductive.

Q: Why Holographic Sight, The Professional's Choice Sight & Surgeon Sight are recommended, but not Acough Optic Scope, Military Red Dot Sight & Milspec Scope?
A: At first, I have been thinking of using it. However, if we took circumstances of the magnifying rate of those scopes & the heist in Payday 2 often involves in close quarters. The scope became rather difficult to be used in close & medium range.

I want those weapons to be user-friendly regardless of range & this is where I decided the Holographic Sight, The Professional's Choice Sight & Surgeon Sight are much better choices. Plus, the Goliath 12G Shotgun with those sights could be pair with Riktpunkt Magnifier Gadget to work as an alternative sniper rifle.
Strategy & Method
  • Never ever try to handle Dozer alone, do it with your crew member.

  • Your weapon has low accuracy, try to fight as close as possible to your enemies.

  • Shield? Just flank them.

I agree with Novafire, they really are like sniper rifles. lol I remember picking off snipers on the goat sim hiest with the primary and they go down in a single shot.
