Little introduction
NOTE! We are going to present versions of different builds as well as some borrowed from other guides, all setups which were not created by us are going to be credited, to the original authors
Without further ado, let's start, shall we?

sad
Changelog
List of changes made overtime

  • Reworked CC Build by Semper Invicta, rebuildt Mastermind (FF Basic), resigned from DH aced (stupid mistake lol) 7.07.2020
  • Reworked Ex-Pres by Semper Invicta, switched from LBV to Suit. If desired, feel free to pick LBV+Die Hard Aced and inner pockets aced 7.07.2020
  • Switched the Barrel Extention for Hitman Akimbo Goliaths build from Horizontal Leveller to King's Crown Compensator 7.07.2020
  • Added alternative breakpoints op version of crook lvl 100
  • Added an alternative version for Crook. People don't seem to like our glass cannon builds made for killing, so there's a link to PD2 builder with a survivability-focused build.
1. Crew Chief
First off the list is Crew Chief, the guy you want on your team if you more or less want to be a tank, perk is mostly concentrated on damage reduction, health and stamina boosts for you and your team. Do not rush with this build, it will make you visit custody as if you were having 0/9 perk deck..

Burner's POV


Primary : Eagle Heavy Rifle
ATTACHMENTS

Barrel :Long Barrel
Barrel ext :The Bigger the Better Suppressor
Custom :Auto Fire
Foregrip : Rail Extension
Gadget :LED Combo
Sight :Sight of your choice
Stock :Sniper Stock


Secondary : Commando or other GL

Semper's POV








Primary : KSP or Buzzsaw (MG42 best in game btw)
ATTACHMENTS

Barrel : Long Barrel
Barrel Ext :The Bigger the Better supressor
Bipod
Boost : Accuracy Boost (optional), interchangeble with stability boost
Gadget : LED combo
Stock : Solid stock


Secondary : Weapon of choice, preferably grenade launcher or commando

Thanks to Teto, I made some changes in order to improve the overall build. I still insist on taking Maxed out jokers and Optical Illusions. Feel free to remove both if you disagree..
2. Muscle
NOTE! Do not rush for objectives, stick to cover, don't go for very long objectives, it will result in you dying unless there's someone to cover you, be sure to use your flashbang grenades to temporarily stun longer parts where you want to run


Yokai's POV







Primary: Clarion Rifle

ATTACHMENTS
Barrel Extension: Stubby Compensator
Boost: Concealment (+3)
Gadget: Compact Laser Module
Sight: See More Sight

Secondary: Compact 40mm Grenade Launcher

NO ATTACHMENTS

Armor: Lightweight Ballistic Vest
Melee: Buzzer / Eletrical Brass Knuckles
Deployable: Medic Bag

ICTV works best with Muscle, but since LBV is fine too, I decided to go for it as the movement penalty from ICTV bothers me.

Semper's POV








Primary : M16A4
ATTACHMENTS

Competitor's Compensator
DMR Kit
Auto Fire
Tactical Handguard
LED Combo
Pro Grip
THRUST lower receiver

Reason not to pick silencers for Muscle is that it fully neglects the ability to spread panic across enemies
3. Armorer
Armorer is undoubtedly one of the great perk decks in the entire game. With enough experience in playing it, you can solo heists with ease. Despite that, it does not mean that armore is an easy deck.
Somewhat similar to anarchist, it takes much practice to git gud on it, but with ICTV you're able to tank one shot from ZEAL swat, take cover and repeat process. Well that's much of a simplification,
but if you take a look at solo runs of striler or Nash you can truly see the full potential of this deck.

Here are our propositions
Semper's POV







Primary : KSP or Buzzsaw
ATTACHMENTS

Barrel :Long Barrel
Barrel ext :The Bigger the Better supressor
Bipod
Boost :Accuracy Boost (optional), interchangeble with stability boost
Gadget :LED combo
Stock : Solid stock

If you go for the Buzzsaw go for most stability&accuracy (about 84)

No upgraded deployable, it's up to you. It more or less is map dependant.

Yokai's POV








Primary: Desertfox Sniper Rifle

ATTACHMENTS
Barrel: Long Barrel
Boost: Total Ammo

Secondary: China Puff 40mm Grenade Launcher

NO ATTACHMENTS

Armor: ICTV
Melee: Buzzer / EBN
Deployable: Medic Bag
4. Rogue
Rogue is another perk deck off the list and here it gets well.. weird to say the least. It might be viable but that is solely dependant on few factors, biggest one of them being RNG, or else, if your 70% dodge will do its job and accually work. Moreover, be sure to have bullseye basic at least and hostage taker for hp regen. I want to provide you with a somewhat decent build, which you can try to use but I don't personally recommend rogue at all, there are better substitutes to it.
One thing is for certain, it is NOT the greatest dodge perk in game..
Nonetheless, it is great to brute-force all in game heists..

7. Burglar
What can I say.. you'll get some kills but don't expect 350 KILLS IN 5 MIN WITH 3 MATES IN CUSTODY. It's a meme-ish build but might work if your teammates have enough brain cells to support you.

9. Sociopath
Socio is somewhat similar to Infil mentioned above

2 medbags so your team doesn't instantly kick you the moment you join If you intend to play some of the builds mentioned in this guide you better host your own lobbies, people tend to kick people with ,,trash" decks

[/i]

Secondary : Compact GL, Arbiter or Commando( anything really)
10. Gambler
Commonly considered as one of the worst deck in the game, the Gambler perk deck is forgotten and turned away. It is a bit of a weird deck, it heals you and gives ammo to your team off of picking up ammo. A weird deck needs an equally weird build. For Gambler to work, you need to be able to always pick up ammo, and the way to abuse that is to use ammo inefficient weapons. And since I chose inefficient weapons, I went with some really strong ones.

11. Grinder
Grinder is a very underestimated perk, which is kinda sad ngl. Using this on more open heists is a straight shot to a knee but it's cool to play around stuff like Big Bank etc.

12. Yakuza
What can I say..
It might sound silly but it's accually playable, it requires a lot of patience and this build somewhat of accuracy, but I guarantee it's not useless crap and with a team of players it's usable on DS.
For sure, or most likely :)
Just kidding, it is by far the toughest to play and not to go down so often

Semper's Version







In order to prove this build's usability I did a Brooklyn 10-10 run with a ,,selfish version", can be seen at 12:14 in the video here : https://youtu.be/cwsxFTktq3E

-The Bigger The Better Suppressor
-Bipod
-Stability Boost
-Led Combo
-Solid Stock

Compact GL
-Any boost
-Compact laser module
-Holographic Sight (Optional)

Hostage taker on Ex-Pres is optional! It's no mandatory skill to take, you can save 12 points here

Semper's Version








Goliaths
- 000 Buckshot
- Short Barrel
- Concealment Boost
- Compact Laser
Secondary : HE Judge

Here I left you with 15 spare points. Do whatever you find useful with them
Ideas from me :
- Spend 12 poinst on HT aced, rest in drill skills or whatever really lol
- Get yourself akimbo aced for more ammo capacity
- Ace HVT and get basic unseen strike for more crit% on occassions if you wish
- Be someone good for your team and get even more drill skills + max out jokers

Thanks to Teto, who gave constructive criticism of the pre build : )
14. Maniac
Maniac is a tough deck to play, relies mostly on high DPS so that's where we're heading

15. Anarchist
Anarchist is by far one of the top perks in this game, focused on doing insane kill numbers while also surviving stuff, its only weak poin are snipers, which you will find out as soon as you test it yourself.
Good anarchist players can do without useless ,,BLM" mod

mrcreepy's POV

WITH THIS BUILD YOU CAN MAKE 350 KILLS IN 5 MINUTES WITH 3 MATES IN CUSTODY.

• Throwable: Concussion Grenade.
• Equipment: Ammo Bag.
• Melee: Pretty much anything with 30 concealment.
• Perk Deck: Obviously, anarchist, aka analfist/autist/onanist/antichirst.

Skills:
• We get 1 slave so that our armor can tank 1 zeal heavy and 1 sniper shot without breaking.
• I also didn't take medic bags and inspire because reasons.
• We take fully upgraded ammo bags and Fully Loaded Aced to have a good self-sustainability.
• Underdog Basic for some sweet breakpoints.
• Die Hard Basic so that we don't risk as much while doing objectives.
• Bullseye needs no explanation, its a common skill for Anarchist.
• Hardware Expert so that we, again, don't risk as much while doing objectives.
• Other than that, this tree needs no explanation, its a common stuff for Akimbo Krinkovs.
This tree is where the fun begins.
• We take Duck And Cover Basic since its mandatory skill for pretty much every build in this game. Though I didn't take Parkour Basic since its useless in this build.
• We take Low Blow and Unseen Strike so that we can melt pretty much every unit in this game in less than a second, yes, even Minigun Dozers with their 48k HP.
• Silencer skills so that these little AKs don't kick like a mule. Pretty much a common stuff.
• I took One Handed Talent Basic because it helps reaching a Zeal Light and Shield breakpoints with our secondary and kill them in 1 shot.
• Nine Lives since its OD oriented build, nothing special.

Weapons:
Akimbo Krinkovs / Akimbo AKMSU

• The Bigger The Better Suppressor
• Speed Pull Magazine
• Moscow Special Rail
• Accuracy Boost
• Auto Fire Lock
• LED Combo
• AK Rubber Grip



5/7 AP Pistol / FN Five-Seven

• TiN Treated Barrel
• Jungle Ninja Suppressor
• Accuracy Boost
• Micro Laser
• Extended Magazine
• Pistol Red Dot Sight
16. Biker
Biker works just a little like Anarchist, it focuses on armor gathering in short period of time in order to survive YuGe damage, works well if your teammates don't hide behind 20 walls in fear of one cop.

17. Kingpin
Kingpin is by far one of the top deck in game, giving us injector and passive HP boost. If used correctly, gives us free DS(OD) mask solo on steering wheel

Jokes aside, we have some nice propositions for you to choose from.

We'll make use of RPK Light Machine Gun and Compact 40mm Grenade Launcher

Modifications for Little Friend
  • Funnel of Fun Nozzle
  • Any boost except concealment as it's pointless
  • LED Combo
  • Speculator Sight
NOTE! Try to use HBV without Die Hard Aced if you want to save 4 points over LBV +DH aced, just keep it basic

There are some more interesting positions to check out, be sure to do so ! :)

19. Stoic
If you die with ICTV LMG FAK stoic on ds you should probably consider uninstalling this game for the greater good
Seriously, stoic is op ♥♥♥♥ that shall be nerfed as it's just too powerfull to use, I consider it slightly worse than Kingpin tho as for the DOT problem without flask, with faks you can reach like 1000+ dot and not get a new flask real quick which might be a problem, but that's just a terrible scenario that might happen

Yokai's POV

Build #1








Primary: AK.762 Rifle

ATTACHMENTS
Barrel: Modern Barrel
Boost: Concealment
Foregrip: Crabs Rail
Gadget: Compact Laser Module
Grip: AK Rubber Grip
Magazine: Speed Pull Magazine
Stock: Wide Stock

Secondary: Tatonka Submachine Gun

ATTACHMENTS
Barrel Extension: The Bigger The Better Suppressor
Boost: Concealment
Custom: Auto Fire
Gadget: Compact Laser Module
Grip: AK Rubber Grip

Armor: LBV
Melee: Buzzer / EBN
Deployable: First Aid Kit

Running LBV on Stoic is not even close as good as running it with ICTV, but this is the build you'd like to use if you want to play a not-so-broken Stoic.

Build #2








Primary: Buzzsaw 42 LMG

ATTACHMENTS
Barrel: Light Barrel
Barrel Extension: The Bigger The Better Suppressor
Bipod: Lion Bipod
Boost: Stability
Gadget: LED Combo

Secondary: Compact 40mm Grenade Launcher

NO ATTACHMENTS


This is your typical META Stoic build. If you want to turn DS into a total joke - learn how to play ICTV Stoic and you're done.
Personally I find Body Expertise aced to be a waste of points, but I keep dropping frames a lot in this game, so I'm kinda forced to use it. If you don't struggle with aiming, feel free to remove the aced version or BE in general and put those points elsewhere.
20. Tag Team
Tag team technically can be used solo, as you can tag your converts, but it is very nice to have at least one guy in your team as well who can kill stuff for you while being tagged :P
Combo's well with hacker, 100% legit

21. Hacker
Last but not least on the list we have the Hacker. If you have a lot of luck in the game and like to be a killing machine and run around while not getting damage (unless you have typical PD player luck), it is a great dodge based build, only thing you should remember is to keep your dodge at high% with the pocket ecm kills so you don't get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by the enemies due to your dodge dropping drastically!

The End
We truly hope to see people open up on different, also those off-meta perk decks. Our builds are not going to make you invincible, these are just some setups you can try out and see whether they fit your playstyle or not. All of these builds were tested to work for at least few different heists...

Have a great day all of you fine people!
