Whats the best weapon for holdout?

[crxel]

So i have watched countless videos about whats the best weapon for holdout but nothing helped. im currently using the cavity 9mm but it doesnt really handle on the higher waves so if someone could help me feel free

I use a build similar to the one in this guide along with the Grinder Perk Deck. Works really well for me.

Akimbo CR-805Bs+Commando 101 rocket launcher + Leech/Anarchist/Dodge.
Reasons.

• Akimbo SMGs have insane dps as well you have two of them firing at once. These are mostly for dozer faces as you cannot headshot them with the commando.
  
• Commando 101 deletes all enemies that are not bulldozers. Hostage in trouble? click near the hostage and go back into cover waiting.
  
• Perk deck choices are b/c of the damage scailing here, they reach 5x more dmg/hp on wave 9 so skull dozers will be dealing 500 dmg per shot. This means tank builds will get one shot commonly here both ICTV & even muscle with it's 2x hp + a joker. I haven't checked stoic but I'm sure it could survive a shot if it used it's flask. So damage avoidance is the way via dodge/armour gating/damage avoidance via Leech.

Not a full build since Holdout's purpose is mainly grinding xp since it's the fastest for loud only. I used to play lots of Alesso holdout for my infamy. It was a good way to watch some netflix shows just sitting in the side booth and clicking the tower whenever I heard locke complaining.

This is funny since a while ago I remember seeing someone ask what is viable for Overdrill, which is just anything that shoots pretty much.

Yeah, pretty much but they asked for "best" not anything that can work.
Peacemaker .45 will not perform the same as an smg or auto pistol with pistol skills. Answers that give nothing helps no one.

Anyways to add something useful to this discussion try not to use weapons that are dependant on breakpoints such as snipers as their breakpoints will fade at a certain wave unless you go overkill on the damage with crit zerk anarchist, then they'll work fine.

The boring go to stoic build that works for when enemies deal lots of damage. If your hp is entirely covered by the damage pattern flask. Otherwise hunt enemies down.
LMG+Compact 40mm gl.
Body Expertise works wonders here as even though enemies get much more hp later on they'll still have high af headshot multipliers b/c it is on overkill difficulty. They'll still deal a surprising amount of damage, well the specials at least.
