How to Bomb: Forest?
Tried it for 50 mins straight on dsod with some friends, failing over and over again before eventually starting Biker and completing it DSOD on our first try.

Going for objectives got us all killed cuz of the lack of cover. This heist is almost as poorly designed as Goat Sim day 1.

What should i get for preplanning and what (free) build would you recomend. All of us were playing wtih dodge and camped between the massive rock and train.

Hide near that train on the left during assaults. There's a section on the side facing the cliff that's like jammed between some rocks and fallen trees, all four of you can basically crouch there to hide. Make sure you all run converts, they'll be the ones soaking up the damage while you go around doing objectives during the downtime.

Demo Expert and go for the lefte side wagons. Go for a vault that needs the Heli for the water, and not the water pump. Everybody with 2 jokers.
Than it should be pretty easy.

The problem with Bomb: Forest is the shooting from everywere without seeing the cops.
So just give them more targets to aim at.

edit: And Heli-Escape, like Ziq was saying below me.

Heli escape, water pump upgrade. That's in theory though considering I did that on DW once

That...makes a lot of sense.

But i found the water pump easier to manage. Heli refills were just brutally long.

Water pump is harder to defent, defent the pump and the water hose.

On heli it's just one connection to defend.

You have 2 choices
1) Water Pump, more spot to protect (4), but don't have to waste the time if protected. Shorter time
2) Helicopter, less spot to protect (1), but you have to wait for it to come back, wasted more time when compared with the pump.

Map's characteristic : Can get shot from any location, the map is pretty much open.

Your choice.

And open all wagons at the start of the heist. Put a drill on every gate you find. The drills don't stop on this heist, they will finish without a problem. You need the open gates to find the c4 later at the assault break.

No cover at all, so maybe Sicario o Kingspin dodge?

If your team just sits at spawn with jokers and just does objectives right before waves end it's boringly simple. Cops barely trickle up to fight you. Take plane escape and be sure to grab the chainsaw while doing objectives. Only problem is it takes longer than other actually dangerous and fun strategies.

Try a high-concealment build.

Your detection risk affects the distance from which you can be seen, and continues to do so while in loud. Cops that can not see you can not target you, and cops that can not target you can not shoot you. On most heists, your detection risk doesn't matter in loud, but on ridiculously open maps like Bomb:Forest, cutting your visibility range in half is a real life-saver.

The effect of DR on your detectability scales expotentially. At DR 75, you can be seen from 180 meters away. At DR 3, you can be seen from 80 meters away. DR 35 is 100 meters, DR 22 is 90 meters.
