Cloaker Build (Ultimate Edition Required)

[Z3r0_]

Since we got a new Cloaker mask and the NVG mechanic with Spring Break, I figured I'd try my hand at making a Cloaker build. Here's the result:

So with this build I had to make a few compromises between being true to the Cloaker as represented in-game and functionality, otherwise this wouldn't be viable above Overkill. What I ended up with was an LBV FrenZerker glass cannon build.

----
WEAPONS
----
For the primary weapon I went with the Valkyria, the weapon of choice for the Russian Cloakers on Boiling Point. I wanted to put a solid stock on it for the aesthetic but I had to forego it to max out the crit chance with low blow, plus I didn't need the boost to stability.

For the secondary I went with the weapon of choice for the Cloaker on every other map: the Compact-5, modded mostly for concealment except for the Bigger the Better Suppressor. This combined with perks will allow us to stay within the 4 detection risk threshold.

The melee weapon is the Classic Baton, for when it's time to wail on your enemies, and the throwable is the Concussion Grenade. I suppose you could go with the Sicarrio perk deck for Smoke Grenades too, but I wanted to make the build a bit more functional.

----
PERKS AND SKILLS
----
This build is all about maximized damage output, with the bonuses from Berserker and crits from Low Blow helping to turn the two firearms of this build into highly ammo efficient cop shredders. Once it's time to go in for the melee strike after scoring some kills, Bloodthirst helps to recreate the Cloaker's insta-down melee strike, while also granting you faster reloads.

The choice of perk deck is Anarchist to provide the needed survivability to make a FrenZerker build viable on higher difficulties, but also, coincidentally, represents the Cloaker's agile yet tanky nature, with the smaller HP pool more or less portraying its higher than normal headshot multiplier accurately.



Overall, this build is viable on Mayhem and Death Wish, but I wouldn't advise bringing it into Death Sentence as the lack of utility perks like drill skills and Inspire will hurt your team. I suppose if one wants to have a LITTLE more utility one can forego Surefire basic to free up three perk points, but this comes at the cost of more frequent reloads, especially on the Valkyria.
