HOW TO USE THIS BUILD
First
You will most likely find cover since this is an armor build, not running around in the middle of a gunfight
Second
Don't always use your injector for useless things, if you think you can survive without it then don't use it
Third
Use injector for healing, take damage from cops when you have armor and injector in effect

Teamplay = You will most likely to have the best drill on the team, since players usually don't take drill skills, You also have inspire, keep that in mind.
Soloplay = eh, idk what to say about this, haven't extensively tried it solo
Prequisites
REQUIRES INFAMY 2 (Reduced skill tree costs for Mastermind, Enforcer)
Level 100 (for all skills, can work with some missing skils)

DLC Needed!!

Knowledge on how to use meds and how to use cover

Surviving with armor basics


with enough experience and knowledge, you can be a deadly tank that heals when taking damage
Skills + Perks
MASTERMIND
INSPIRE!
Jokers too, for extra movement speed.

ENFORCER
ICTV cause it's the highest ranked armor
Bullseye Aced, Try to get headshots all the time, getting a headshot will reward you with extra armor

TECHNICIAN
Drill skills
Lock N Load for that extra sprinting hip fire and for faster reload (you can use other weapons with this build, not only the Microgun)

GHOST
Sprint while reloading and permanent extra speed + bonus speed when your armor breaks

FUGITIVE
Swan and Nine Lives, basic skills.
Feign can be changed to other skills if you don't like RNG

PERK DECK
Option 1 : and why this is the primary option
Kingpin, one of the best skills for armor.
This is the preferred deck since it relies on your throwable slot, and it heals easily too

Option 2 : and why I don't really like it
Gambler, like the name says, gamble. In order to restore health, you will need to go out into the open area in order to heal/get ammo, you heal by obtaining ammo packs, too risky and heals too slow. It's either heal a bit or get downed.
Weapons + Armor + Equipment
Notes : "--" means optional mods
PRIMARY WEAPON

Microgun 5.56
Mods:
LED Combo
Heat Sink Barrel
--you can add any boost you want

How to use it?
follow this principle : H-B-P
Hold down mouse1 for close range
Burst for medium range
Pray for long range, aka don't use it for long range

SECONDARY WEAPON

The Judge
Mods:
HE Rounds
--you can add the new mod that makes your gun look cool, I forgot what it's called
--you can add any boost you want

China Puff

--add whatever mod you want

Arbiter

--add whatever mod you want

Compact 40

-add whatever mod you want


MELEE WEAPON

literally any melee
I really like the new fleshlight Flashlight though.


Throwables
Injector (I think it's morphine)

How to use it?
Inject when you're in a pickle
Inject when you're going into a pickle
Inject when interacting in the open
Inject when you need healing (remember to have at least 50% armor before doing this for maximum effect. once armor is depleted, run to cover)

Armor

ICTV (Improved Combined Tactical Vest)

only ICTV, other armor will mean you wasted your skill points for Iron Man.
If you can't get Iron Man, use the one below ICTV, but don't forget to have Bullseye


Equipment

Doctor Bag

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH I NEED A MEDIC BAG!!

You can look up judge skins on the community market!
darkangelyacht Jan 14, 2020 @ 3:50pm 
love the build, and what is that judge skin?

You only need to decrease skill tree req for MASTERMIND, not for Enforcer. (You still need Infamy 2, because you can only select a cost reduction starting with I2)

http://pd2tools.com/l/bebad3b91f9285c403dda0cdd483628a - body expertise and frenzerker allow you to shred cops and not need to worry about ammo issues. and also some feedback:

- if you aren't getting partners in crime aced, don't get jokers. they die too quickly without that huge damage reduction

-the difference between bullseye aced and not aced is pitiful, 5 armor is enough to armor gate you don't need 25 armor to do it.

-I removed the drill skills, if you are dedicated on being the tech guy (I mean, Kingpin definitely allows for it) get rid of frenzy and get drill skills, frenzy just lets you get the damage bonus more easily

-same goes for swansong

That's really it, its not a bad build by any means and kingpin is amazing on DS/OD.
