Dodge, How It Works
With armor, you keep yourself from getting hurt when hit. With dodge, you keep yourself from being hit. Remember that the higher dodge the higher chance of not being hit and that you should always be sprinting or crouched. You know you have dodged sucessfully when your screen flashes yellow and you take no damage. This is an example of dodge (around four mintues ten seconds is the best example.)
Skills (Mastermind)

Explinations
Combat Medic: Many people say not to get this for people who use beserker for the saw. You do not have to however, in many cases, if you are using a saw, you are not going loud.
Inspire: The most important thing in this build is keeping others alive. Use this through walls and cars when you are behind cover for best results.
I would also recomend gunslinger but I did not have enough perk points. (Will be changed in future edits)
Skills (Enforcer)

Explinations
Its just to move bags faster, doesn't really need an explination.
Skills (Technician)

Explination
No techician skills needed but if you were going to get one get nerves of steel.
Skills (Ghost)

Explinations
The only two here that might be good are dead presidents and fast hands (if you have extra skill points)
Skills (Fugitive)

Explinations
Hidden Blade: Lowered Concilment
Swan Song: This is so you have time to pick your team up even if you go down first. It gives you nine seconds of unlimited ammo so this is your time to unload on that damn bulldozer. :D This nine seconds when you go down is nessary to clear a room even with bulldozers in it. (It shouldn't take you more than nine seconds)
Akimbo: Akimbo allows you two dual weild bernettis. They are very good with high damage and high ammo but keep a concilment of 28.
It is really unnessary to ace sneaky bastard and I would recommend getting gunslinger aced instead
Perk Deck (Rogue)

The Rogue perk deck allows for a high dodge and gives you a 25% chance to peirce enemy armor (this is helpful for deathwish gensec elites).
Primary Weapon (bernetti 9)

The bernetti 9 dual pistols allow for high damage and high concilment. I have a flash hider, micro lazer, ergo grip, extended mag, and elite slide on mine but you can put whatever you want on yours. Try not to add too much detection though.
Weapons (Secondary)

The Judge shotgun is a shotgun with 5 shots in it. It is recomended that you use HE rounds as they can stun shields and bull dozers. If you do not have the Shotgun pack DLC this is still a good secondary as you can use it for shield jumping (sprinting towards a shield then jumping onto it and running over it until you fall then turn around and shoot it.)
Melee
THREE OPTIONS TWO DLC ONE NOT

The trench knife is a good knife if you don't want to charge it up. If you do go with option number two the

Ursa Tanto Knife is good if you charge it up, not so much if you don't.

If you do not have the DLC and you don't want to charge your knife up, the Nova Shank is a good weapon to use. It has decent melee damage and low charge time.
Armor

The two-piece suit has a high dodge and is the center of your build. This is the only thing that is not interchangeable with something else. USE THIS ARMOR
Equipment

The Doctor Bag will have four charges and you have two bags. That is eight charges total. This means that they should be all your team needs (or you need a new team). They not only replenish health, but downs. Tell your team to only use it after they have gone down twice.
Everything else
Remember this is a basic dodge build guide. If you want to change something here or there go ahead. As long as you keep the basics you should be good. If you have any questions ask them in the comments and I will try to answer as many as possible. Special thanks to the guy that introduced me to dodge, I wish I could remember who you are, Princess IDGAF, and Tumid. If you liked the guide please like it and send it to your friends and remember, don't try to punch a bull dozer if you aren't the host. Ask any questions down below in the comments.

Swoosh, there is 20 armor in suit, and ive been using bullseye on my masterfug build and it helps alot since you can replenish full armor suit for 1 bullet to the head, 1300 hour approves bullseye

Dear Swoosh, if you would go back into earlier comments I have already said that yes if I had the time or motivation I would go and change those. When playing the game, I already did. Please read before going on a paragraph long rant.
