Best SAW mods?

[BustedHipGaming]

Is it better to do Fast Motor or Silent Motor?

Is it better to do Durable Blade or Sharp Blade?

[Akutare]

If I remember right, silent is useless so fast or vanilla, sharp doesn't help much compared to durable.

Fast motor combined with sharp blade makes your saw saves more 'durability' as it simply opens each box with a mere tap of your fire button. I can open all boxes on bank with only one ammo bag using that set up.

Sharp Blade + Fast Motor makes the damage high enough to open a deposit box in one click without Berserker, which effectively doubles its ammo when that's what it's being used for.
If you have Berserker, however, then Durable Blade will get you farther.
Fast Motor or Sharp Blade alone won't do very much, so there's not really any reason to go with anything other than Fast Motor + Sharp Blade and a Silent Motor + Durable Blade for stealth (if you even care about that)

[PrivateKI]

Fast Motor and Sharp Blade allows for a 1 tap break on deposit boxes rather than 2.

Durable Blade effective increases your blade durability as well as your ammo capacity.

Silent Motor allows for fast stealth objective bypass, but at the cost of concealment, and risk.
Will only be silent beyond 7 meters, and the max detection risk you can obtain with the saw is 17.

Silent isn't useless, but not very helpful, as it only decreases the range it can be heard by a certain amount, not entirely

If you have bezerker, go durable.
If you have to do stealth or semi-stealth, go silent.
If you DON'T have bezerker, and there isn't any stealth, go Fast + Sharp.
Fast/Sharp acts as Bezerker, Silent/Durable acts as more ammo + less detect radius.
So for Bank Heists (Pretty much all banks) go Silent + Durable.
If you can't carry bezerker, but need to have lots of damage, and stealth doesn't matter, or you can complete all your objectives without the saw, go Fast/Sharp.
Fast/Sharp counters and is countered by Bezerker.

If you have carbon blades as secondary: use fast motor, durable blade because the damage is enough to oneshot deposit boxes.
As a primary, fast motor, sharp blade.
In stealth, silent motor, with the same motor requirements.
Silent motor has a 7m detection radius. It's convenient.
Not enough for the civilians inside, but enough for those walking in the streets.

Why the ♥♥♥♥ would you use that in anything other than Big Bank stealth?
Bank Heist and GO Bank, you're doing a lockdown anyway, so going sharp+fast is the better choice.
In fact, Big Bank stealth is the ONLY time I can think of that Sharp+Fast is not helpful.

If you know what you're doing, you go S/D.
On Bank Heist, you can saw back security rooms, and if you're silent, it is harder to trigger patrolling civs.
On GO Bank, it is worth even more. The PROPER way to stealth doesn't involve rushing out and killing civs, it involves moving all the inside civs behind the counter and boarding windows. Street civs stop spawning after the vault opens, which means that it:
-Has use opening ATMs
-Can be used after the vault opens, but before you've fully looted it.
Also, Big Oil.
And Nightclub(?)
And MAYBE Framing Frame?
And Diamond Shop.
And MAYBE THE Diamond?
And Shadow Raid.
And MAYBE Firestarter?
So, yeah.
With bezerker, a mere 4 more points into an already 4-24 skill point set, it counters Sharp/Fast's nature, at the cost of health. With molotovs or heights, and with stealth on, it doesn't matter.

If you're using basic. Use both the damage upgrades.

If you're using secondary saw, use the durability blade with the fast motor. Still opens in 1 tap but has more ammo.

[Dont_Stop]

Simple as it is, just add the parts which adds most damage. If you want the stealth saw then equip the silent motor and the blade with more damage.

Unfortunately the OP is asking a question akin to "would you like your glass of water hot or cold" to a man dying of thirst in the desert.

There's no "better" option. Choose a mod base on what you are doing and what you have on hand.

The man would likely chose the cold water, hence the desert. (Or, do you count COLD places with no rain as desert(s)?) If so, then it would easily be hot.
Analogy was better than I expected.
But a better analogy would probably be asking if he wanted water or seltzer water to the man dying of thirst.

Actually drinking water at a lower temperature causes your body to waste energy to heat it up, bringing it back to body temperature. That's why hot tea is a must.

EDIT: we don't regulate or temperature to the lower levels. Sweating it is.
To lower your body temperature with a bottle of water, apply the bottle to your wrists long enough. Then just drink it.

Thread:
Carbon Blade aced: Sharp Blade or Fast Motor, not both at the same time.
Carbon Blade not aced: Sharp Blade and Fast Motor.
Silent Motor for stealth whenever you need it.

There is a reason we perfer our water cold in hotter climates.
When the body is working overtime to keep itself cool enough to survive, any additonal material added that is lower than the current body tempture would help cool it, no?
To "waste energy to heat it up" implies that the body isn't already trying to keep itself cool. Hence, the desert.
