DSOD builds for all decks

Collection of my random DSOD builds that vary in power but are able to be played without ever going down.

Disclaimer

WELCOME
This build highlights some random builds that are perfectly viable for downless DSOD experience, well, if played well enough. Anyone can wipe the map with Akimbo SMG Hacker (such build might be included anyways) or Sniper Kingpin, etc. but in my book it's way more fun to challenge yourself with weaker decks or weapons and trying to maximize its potential.

GENERAL INFO

1) Inspire - my builds will not include Inspire basic or aced. I think it's way more beneficial to invest the points elsewhere. These builds focus on giving you enough killing power and self-sustain to give you the best chances of not ever going down. Afterall if the map is empty, you cannot really go down.

2) Nine Lives - While you may argue that you can play this game without going down, there is a lot of random stuff the game throws at you (being shot through walls, etc.), so investing in Nine Lives is not a bad idea by any means. Either way, I chose to omit it anyways in the builds - if you really want to have it, choose whatever you deem the least important for your playstyle and go with that.

3) First-Aid Kit Abuse - My builds will not be abusing First-Aid Kits and Uppers too much, I feel like it removes a lot of uniqueness from the perk decks and thus is rather boring. Instead I tend to commit way more towards Hostage Taker and perk deck HP regen whenever possible.

4) Weapons - The builds will vary in the weaponry used. I tend to gravitate towards snipers and other precision weapons because I enjoy aiming as it is but these builds will feature various weapons or at least weapon classes and playstyles.

5) Min-maxing - Almost nothing is fully min-maxed in this collection, at this point of time I don't feel like testing every miniscule detail and breakpoint plus I like to use many different weapons as explained above, though important breakpoints such as 2 shot ICTV, 70 armor LBV/HBV or 1 shot-headshotting Heavy Zeals with snipers and many others will always be met.

Crew Chief - 500 sniper + SMG (ICTV)

OVERVIEW
You have a 500 sniper, letting you one-shot headshot almost every special with Ammo Efficiency Aced + 2 Ammo Bags for yourself and your team. Take 2 jokers and then snipe away. Only real weakness of this build are dozers, I opted to buff the SMG with some skills to help you deal with them if need be, Unseen Strike Basic would also be a good choice but ideally you are sniping and only occassionaly dealing with dozers, your team should pick up the slack.

Armorer - LMG + Commando Zerk (ICTV)

OVERVIEW
First and foremost take a Heavy Zeal shot to your HP to zerk, you can also double Molotov but why bother. Then just melt stuff with your LMG, you have Unseen Strike Basic to help out with dozers but it's not really needed, Berserker already does the heavy lifting in the DPS department. You also have a RL as your secondary if things get way too crowded but realistically you can use any other secondary you want and be fine.

Rogue - GL40 + Deagle (Suit)

OVERVIEW
The main draw of Rogue is the weapon swap speed so this build tries to capitalize on it. Keep getting melee kills to speed up the reload of your GL and use your Deagle to one-tap Heavy Zeals and such otherwise. Never rely on your dodge and play around armor gating and First-aid Kits/Hostage Taker Aced.

Hitman - Akimbo SMGs + 5/7 Pistol (ICTV)

OVERVIEW
Your average Akimbo SMG build but with a weaker deck - 2 shot ICTV setup + berserker but no crits. You can either use Concussion Grenades for utility and either remain at 40% zerk. alternatively take a Light Zeal shot to your HP zerk even further. Or as always you can take Molotovs (or wait for an Anarchist player to throw one) and lower your HP that way. Either knock down shields with your primary and Shock & Awe Aced or just swap to your secondary to deal with them.

Crook - DMR + 160 Sniper (HBV)

Burglar - AR + Overkill Aced (Suit)

OVERVIEW
Never rely on your dodge, keep up your Overkill Aced going with your secondary DB shotgun otherwise just melt stuff with your AR. You can recover your HP from Hostage Taker Aced (lighter hits) or eat a First-aid Kit (usually after taking a Heavy Zeal shot and no time to regen passively).

Infiltrator - Steakout 12G + Argos III (ICTV)

OVERVIEW
Shotguns are not as strong anymore but they can still hold their own. Melee dozers whenever possible (with sufficient Bloodthirst stacks) and also melee for HP if you took heavier HP damage. Against shields you can either knock them down with your primary using Shock & Awe Aced or just swap to your secondary shotty with AP rounds.

Gambler - LMG + Commando Crits (HBV)

OVERVIEW
Annihilate cops with your LMG, make use of Unseen Strike Aced, especially against dozers. Don't go for ammo pouches way too out of your reach and you have a solid support build.

Grinder - AR + Arbiter GL (LBV)

OVERVIEW
Constantly keep on using your GL and its Viper Grenades to stack up on your perk deck regen, otherwise just melt stuff with your crit boosted AR. I chose the Clarion but an AR with Speed Pull Magazine, such as Union AR would make the build even stronger.

Yakuza - 160 Sniper + SMG Zerk (ICTV)

OVERVIEW
One of the weakest if not THE weakest deck in the game. We maximize our Yakuza perks and Berserker Aced by being low on HP - zerk using Molotovs. Then just snipe away, use your SMG if
dozers get too close for comfort generally just kill stuff before it kills you.

Ex-President - DMR + Overkill Aced (HBV)

OVERVIEW
Keep your Overkill Aced up with your secondary shotgun and you can 1 shot headshot Heavy Zeals. You can use any DMR you want but I went with the Little Friend for the sake of variety. You can mod it with Viper Grenades if you want. You have Ammo Efficiency Aced to help with the ammo economy of your DMR and Aggressive Reload Aced to speed up the reload. Use Unseen Strike Basic for some extra DPS against dozers.

Maniac - IZHMA + SMG (ICTV)

OVERVIEW
Most likely the most random build of the bunch. Not very experienced with this deck either but you are more or less a worse version of Armorer, at least with this setup. Frag with your Izhma and swap to your SMG to deal with dozers (Overkill Aced too).

Anarchist - AR + SMG Zerk (Suit)

OVERVIEW
This build has insane DPS output - Body Expertise Aced, Unseen Strike Aced, Berserker Aced. It also features Frenzy Aced + Iron man Basic so you can tank a sniper shot and are lazy to use converts with such build like me.

Kingpin - 500 Sniper + SMG (LBV)

OVERVIEW
You have a 500 dmg sniper and also pretty much on-demand invincibility, so you can play really aggressive and clear the map. Whenever you start taking too much damage or need to do an objective, burst down a dozer etc. you just pop your Injector. When the Injector is on cooldown, you have an LBV protection + you can tank 2 shots to your HP so no need to play too passive, killing cops makes it regenerate faster anyways.

Sicario - Rodion + 5/7 (Suit)

OVERVIEW
First and foremost swap Rodion to the Volley mode (V by default) and then you have a solid DMR with no need for extra damage steroids (Berserker Aced, Overkill Aced). You have 100 accuracy when hip-firing (Fire Control Basic) or whenever you are standing still (Stable Shot Aced). Either swap to your pistol to deal with shields or knock them over using Shock & Awe Aced.

Tag Team - Akimbo SMGs + 5/7 (LBV)

Note: I do not own the h3h3 DLC so I do not own the Tag Team PD so I used Copycat with Gas dispenser a 3x HP boost instead though THE BUILD IS MADE FOR TAG TEAM

OVERVIEW
Tag a teammate and use your Akimbo SMGs to annihilate anything in your path, swap to your 5/7 pistol to deal with shields.

Hacker - Galant + 255 Sniper (Suit)

OVERVIEW
To get the most out of this build you should use your sniper to deal with anything but dozers but feel free to toy around with Galant and crits. You have Ammo Efficiency Aced so you don't have to rely on ammo pouches as much and snipe more but feel free to remove the Aced version and do whatever with the 6 points available. If you want to use Galant more, removing Die Hard Basic too and taking Unseen Strike Aced is a noteworthy suggestion.

Leech - Akron LMG + Bronco (LBV)

OVERVIEW
I'm very inexperienced with Leech - found it too boring for similar reasons as Stoic so I decided to include First-aid Kits just in case (but it's the strongest deck by far). Melt anything in your way with your crit boosted LMG and swap to your revolver if you need to kill snipers or something I guess - it's there for the 33 concealment option.

WEAPONS

Copycat - Dual Sniper (HBV)

OVERVIEW
A dual sniper build, the only weakness are dozers (or rather their faceplates), for that reason we have melee skills for intense situations. We have 2 Ammo Bags + Ammo Efficiency Aced so ammo shouldn't ever be an issue. Unseen Strike Basic is included for funny sniper crits.

COPYCAT SETUP
3x HP boost and I personally use Biker for the occasional armor gate and extra healing but Gambler or Sociopath should also work great, in the end - the choice is yours.
