[DSOD] Manly AK.762 Kingpin Build
By ^1soilets
Are you tired of dumb, goofy ahh p*ssy hacker and l**ch mains ruling every lobby? Do you hate waiting for fade to just fix a drill or make tiny progress in your heist? Do you hate PAYDAY 2's pay to win state of 2023?

What if I told you there is a build that you can run, with Kingpin, that fixes all of these problems, and works harmoniously with the Hacker perk deck? What if I told you, it's the manliest build of all time, because only because of you, your team stays alive and progresses the heist quickly.

You will learn about this build on this guide.

Introduction
Jokes aside for a minute. I had been trying super hard through out middle to end of May 2023 to get the DS/OD mask. I had a few hours in PAYDAY 2 (about 250), but very little experience in playing Death Sentence with One Down enabled.

Throughout the first half of my heists, I was using a 3-hit Sociopath Armor Build made by my friend Asyashi. The issue was, whenever I played the game, nobody was playing the objective, and I couldn't really do anything other than kill the police. We had to wait until fade or until 1-2 hackers decided to use the pecm and die.

This is why halfway through I switched to the Kingpin perk deck to complete some of the hardests heists in the game, such as The Bomb: Forest, Heat Street, Slaughterhouse and of course Goat Simulator.
Why This Build
Ofc, you're asking yourself, why would I run this over a meta hacker build or l**ch build? Also isn't the Scarface DLC like unattainable? If you're a PAYDAY2 n00b, I hate to gatekeep you, go purchase the G*mma McGhay weapon packs.

Now for the OGs, the pros, the mfs who bought the Ultimate Edition (like me), this guide is for you.

Most of the meta weapons require you to buy DLCs outside of the PAYDAY 2 Ultimate Edition (or Legacy or wtv its called now...) such as the VD-12s.

This build is 100% free (provided you own the Ultimate Edition).

It is also very easy to learn and use.

How can you use it? When in danger, press 3 or whatever bind triggers the Syringe and run. You can revive isolated teammates and fix drills, use blowtorches, do any objective, without dying. You can also run this solo and on multiplayer, as well as for half-stealthing some heists, which I did to get my DSOD mask.

You use the AK.762 with crits against ALL the enemies, except for the Shields, in which case you quickly pull out yo piece (the 5/7 AP Pistol) and show that mf what bullets taste like (aim for the upper center part of the shield).

Your ONLY REAL WEAKNESS in Death Sentence One Down difficulty is Minigun Bulldozers, or when these mfs pile up.

Despite that the weapons in this build do really good damage, it is often not enough to kill more than one Minigun Bulldozer. I've had times where they piled up against me, and I couldn't do anything. In heists like Safehouse Nightmare, this build did not work too well solo, because there were 500 HEADLESS DOZERS. Thankfully I had very good friends, very helpful people (that ran Hacker and Anarchist with Ammo Bags) in that heist and we got through it.
Mastermind Skills

Things you can change:

Doctor Bags to FAKs, for a larger focus on objectives instead of keeping teammates alive.

Personally, I prefer running Doctor Bags and Painkiller Aced, along with Inspire because everyone runs Hacker or other "Inspireless" builds nowadays and they suffer when someone gets downed.
Enforcer Skills

Nothing crazy here, just grabbing the classic stuff for armor gating. If you have no trouble with flashbangs, you can lose points from Resilience aced, move it Transporter and then use 1 free point on Hardware Expert basic, to fix drills faster.
Technician Skills

No changing anything here. Surefire Aced and Body Expertise Aced is what allows the build to deal lots of damage.

Unless you have crazy aim and you hit headshots very consistently (which trust me you probably aren't you dumb egotistical idiot), you need Body Expertise. It basically gives you headshot damage on bodyshots.

Surefire aced negates any enemy body armor, and makes the AK.762 effective.
Ghost Skills

Hypothetically, (if you are manly enough) you can lose the scope on the AK.762 and remove inner pockets and pick up Transporter in Enforcer. That's what I did for the majority of the time while using this build, because I had no scope mount.

PRO TIP: If you haven't unlocked the scope mount, buy an AK skin that includes it, I got a mint condition one for like 0,05€

In case you haven't figured it out yet, this build is a AR Crits build. You have to stay under 25 Detection to get that 30% Crit Chance.
Fugitive Skills

No changes.

Nine Lives Aced is needed to play Death Sentence Two Downs instead of Death Sentence One Down.
Primary Weapon - AK.762
For this build, we will be using the AK.762, from the Assault Rifles category.













Secondary Weapon - 5/7 AP Pistol
We are running 5/7 AP Pistol with concealment mods, to penetrate shields.


Use whatever mod increase concealment in this weapon as well as the Champion's Suppressor

Do not use a sight you p*ssy. Real men (like me) never use sights on their weapons, or some beta crosshair mod.
Other Equipment

The Two Piece Suit will be used for this build, due to its speed and low concealment, which allows running crits with the AK.

For a throwable you're gonna equip the Injector (duh)

Your deployable will be Doctor Bags or FAKs, depending where you have placed your skills earlier.

And for Melee, you run Electrical Brass Knuckles to SHOCK the enemy and get converts easily.

Conclusion - How to use this build effectively
For maximum impact, you can utilize the build along with a Hacker, who will destroy the Bulldozers for you (your weakness), while you will revive them and the other 2 p*ssies in your team, as well as do the objectives, allowing for the heist to progress quickly.

PRO TIP: All damage you take while under the Injector's effects at Max Health, will reduce the cooldown of using the Injector again, for that iteration.

When I started using the Kingpin Perk Deck, I was randomly using the Injector and still dying, or I was using it at times where I took zero damage, or too early, which led to my inevitable visit to police custody (ingame).

It's something you gotta get used to a bit, and at first you will die and cry like a little baby, but once you get in the zone you will feel like the world is yours.

this build would be better with aced die hard and aced inner pockets so you can get 70 armor still with all the crits

is there any replacements for kingpin?because i bought the legacy collection after it was removed ;(



Nope, this is a kingpin build, targeted for people who bought the Ultimate Edition and don't want to spend money on new DLCs.

why use the .762 if you're having trouble taking out mini dozers? I would suggest something with more dps such as the ak17 or the amr16 instead



I mean sure, you can use the AK17 (if ur a p*ssy).

It's easier to customize the AK.762 when you only have the UE DLCs and you can reach 100 Accuracy and 100 Stability with the correct mods, in exchange for 3% less crit chance. This makes it easier to deal with dozers, but the build is meant to complement H*ckers and L**ches who already do that job. Because these mfs never run inspire because they need their goo goo gaga weapon skills, you bring inspire, jokers, a very strong weapon, and you also bring the ability to rush most objectives before the fade.
