Only armorer fits in the Techforcer.

infiltrator is the best.
the damage reduction scales better with armour.
armourer will give you about 332 armour but infiltrator gives something like 481 effectve armour.
it also has one of the fastest health regen methods (opposed to armourers nothing)

Quite a bit of decks are suitable for Techforcer.

I'll answer your question first:

Hitman: 45% armour recovery boost and 100% confirmed recovery 5 second after broken armour. Akimbos as well. So if you like Akimbos, this is your only route.

Armourer: 19% armour recovery boost for yourself, 10% for your crew. +35% armour and 2 second immunity after broken armour every 15 seconds.

The perks somewhat balance each other out so you'll have to try it out for yourself.

Akimbos, definitely Hitman. Berserker build, Armourer gives you more armour to tank before breaking that armour.

Here are my 2 cents:
1) Go Ex-President for some regen (not much) and superb armour recovery.
2) Infiltrator works well, but works mostly for close - medium combat. Anything further like Aftershock/Meltdown/Watchdogs is going to give you problems.
3) Yakuza and Armourer for berserker builds.
4) Techforcer Gambler works well too. If you can play defensively, you can help your crew. Especially those foolhardy dodge wannabes and ammo spending manics.

Armorer, Hitman is useless at all levels.

Hitman still sucks. Pretty much any armor decks are better than hitman.

I play as Techforcer on DW myself and there I use Muscle.Additional Health,Passive Regen.Most of the time I´m in cover anyways to regen what I lost on armor.
UnknownMerc Mar 13, 2016 @ 7:40am 
Of the two, Armorer. Reinforced Armor is very, very good.
Peanits Mar 13, 2016 @ 7:54am 
Neither, if it's an option. Neither one of them are good perk decks. But if you absolutely had to choose, armorer. It gives you at least some benefit to survivability, while hitman gives you none. The only thing hitman even remotely gives is the armor regen have 5 (6?) seconds regardless, but to proc that, you're going to be taking stupid amounts of damage.

Unless you specifically want akimbos, go with armorer.

i like both, but hitman fits better in my playstyle :) you really should test both on different maps - with open areas and oriented on close quorter combat to understand what fits you better - fast regen on more armor

Hitman is still just a novelty choice for people who 'really' want to use Akimbo (and lose their only significant benefit over other weapon choices) with heavy armored builds. You can make it work but you're not getting anything special for your trouble.

In this choice, I'd go Armorer but as was said, there are better options.

Muscle is still the best deck.

But out of those two, I would say Armorer.

Armorer, and then mix it with Berserker.
