Shotgun Dodge/Grinder Build

*CHANGED FOR UPDATE 100 SKILLTREE*

A build of Shotguns, Running and Gunning, Freedom, Cocaine, and Coors Light*.

*(Coors Light sold separately)

Overview

This build is a fugitive dodge/crit build modified to take full advantage of the enforcer tree's shotgun skills. This allows for a run and gun playstyle without being restricted to pistols, which are central to most other dodge builds.

For those who Prefer a PD2Skills link: http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/mhjfGcDa:eqRnoklHIEFDa:ghECa:fqroKHiEGBcda:icea:pG8::w36-6-3-5:s32-34-15-43-3-10:a1

With Aced Ironman, we can sprint while simultaneously shooting, allowing us to deal damage while staying highly mobile and taking advantage of 25% bonus dodge chance.

THIS BUILD IS NOT RESTRICTED TO CLOSE QUARTERS.
While this may seem very counterintuitive to many, especially those of us who remember how trying to use a shotgun in Halo beyond 10 feet was the equivalent of sneezing on someone, Shotguns with flechette rounds are extroardinarily versatile and effective at medium to long ranges.
Using this build, shotguns become reliable one shot kill headshot machines at distances beyond 20 Meters.

Skills

Mastermind Tree:


Enforcer Tree:


Technician Tree:


Ghost Tree:

Sprinter ACED gives us 25% dodge chance while sprinting. Paired with the ability to fire from the hip while sprinting, this gives us the ability to deal damage while reducing

Fugitive Tree:

Perk Deck (aka Why Grinder is OP)

The Unique, cumulative bonuses of Grinder are as follows:
Damaging an enemy regenerates +4 health every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds, stacking up to 4 times
+40% Health
+40% chance to penetrate armour


Grinder allows the player to restore health simply by dealing damage.
Upon completion, the perk deck gives 4 health every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds. This effect stacks up to 4 times.

Translation: Dealing damage 4 times will regenerate 32 health every second for 6 seconds, which totals 192 health recovered over 6 seconds. given that with this perk deck, we have a total of 322 Health, this allows us to heal about 60% of our health in 6 seconds. this is equivalent to 10% health regenerated per second, or 100% health regeneration in 10 seconds.

When paired with the pistols, this perk deck becomes extroardinary.

In addition, the perk deck gives the player a whopping 40% chance to penetrate armor, and an additional 40% Health (which is what boosts us from 230 Health to 322 Health).

Armor (Coke-Stained Suit)

Little known fact: Cocaine, when applied to 100% wool suits, helps repell bullets. Doesn't help much with garment care, though.

Two Piece Suit:

The Two-Piece Suit is the inevitable choice for this build, as it gives us the best possible stats for Dodge, Speed, and Concealment. It also gives +1 to Attractiveness.

Weapons

There are 4 Viable Shotguns that can be used in a 3/4 concealment build:

Primary:

• Raven Shotgun
  
• Mosconi Double Barrel Shotgun

Secondary:

• Locomotive 12G Shotgun
  
• Judge Shotgun

Raven Shotgun

The Raven is a highly versatile shotgun, and is a direct upgrade of the Reinfield 880. The raven provides extensive ammo in a large magazine, and has a steady rate of fire that feels intuitive for a pump action shotgun.

Ammunition: Flechette

Barrel: Short Barrel

Barrel Ext: King's Crown Compensator
Adds damage and stability at the cost of 2 concealment.

Boost: Concealment (+1)

Gadget: Compact Laser Module


Sight: Flip-Up Sight

Mosconi Double-Barrel Shotgun

The Mosconi Double-Barrel is Hilariously fun to use, especially when modified in this way. Having a double barrel pirate gun that can deal out collateral one shot kill headshots at ranges that make most SMG's queasy is undyingly entertaining. This gun is so powerful that it can easily oneshot cloakers and tasers, if you land a headshot or crit (or both). Here's how to make yours!

Ammunition: Flechette

Barrel:

Boost:

Stock: Gangsta Special Stock

Locomotive 12G Shotgun

The Locomotive can be overlooked due to its low stat damage, but this can be easily overcome when using shotgun skills and the proper modifications.
America Camo not required, but strongly encouraged.

Ammo: Flechette

Barrel Ext: None

Boost: Concealment (+1)

Gadget: Compact Laser Module

Grip: Straight Grip

Magazine: Extended Magazine

Stock: Tactical Shorty Stock

Upper Receiver: None

Judge Shotgun

The Judge is everyone's favorite HandCannon. Already boasting inherently high concealment, a few modifications make it a little more dangerous.

Ammunition: Flechette
Once again, Flechette gives us healthy range.

Barrel Extension: King's Crown Compensator
Adds damage and stability at the cost of 2 concealment.

Boost:


Gadget:
Hipfire aid.

Playstyle

1) Cue Star-Spangled Banner
2) Rangers lead the way
3) SSSSSNORT
4) IT'S PAYDAY FELLAS

• Be on the move, preferably sprinting, as frequently as possible, to get +25% dodge
  
• Crouch while Reloading to take advantage of 15% dodge
  
• Aim with your laser at about shoulder height. the spread of the flechette barbs will usually land a headshot.

[Epicsurvivor]

Update the PD2Skills link, its outdated as FUCK

[7kFlow]

Very good build, works well on Rats, Cook Off, anything. The shotguns both do great amounts of damage to bulldozers and do not require constant running around for ammo. 10/10

[Arridian - allkeyshop]

[Todd Howard]

Izhma12G Shotgun is good with this build too....

[boba tea enema]

Why do you have the extra armor skills if they barely add up to the suit?

[Kaii]

Nah, you want the Joceline O/U 12G, and the Street Sweeper. Use the street sweeper for regular kills, and with the right perks you can keep it going without ever using an ammo bag (I literally did over an hour of White Xmas without ever using an ammo bag). Then you can use the O/U to snipe the snipers, really good at doing it as well.
