PROS AND CONS
I've been testing this build out and it mainly focuses on maintaining your health and keeping your team together so you can't lose the heist.

PROS
-High survivability
-Powerful weapons
-Fun to use
-Can save the whole team thanks to skills
-Can kill most enemies, turrets and captain thanks to the Judge shotgun!

CONS
-You would need a little bit of team co-operation (well its a co-op game anyways :P)
-Snipers can be hard to deal with
-Requires DLC
-Infamy 2-100 (need to put a skill point into the slaughterhouse set, otherwise you can just optimize the skill trees to make it non-infamy compatible)

Well let's get right into it!

WEAPONS
For this build, you have to use the shotgun DLC pack.
It has the raven shotgun, and it has the different types of ammo that is helpful.

For the primary, I chose the Raven shotgun for its high ammo pool and its high concealment.

MODIFICATIONS
000 Buckshot
Short Barrel
The Silent Killer Suppressor
[OPTIONAL] Compact Laser Module
Flip-up Sight

For the secondary, we will be using the Judge shotgun. With the HE rounds, you can clear rooms and hordes of people quickly.

MODIFICATIONS
HE Round [gage shotgun pack]
The Silent Killer Suppressor
[OPTIONAL] Compact Laser Module

MELEE
You can go with any melee, any concealment.
What I would recommend is the Electrical Brass Knuckles/Buzzer because they are both great weapons at intimidating.

THROWABLE
You can go with the dynamite if you have it, or you can go with the free community grenade.

PERK DECK
This entire build is depending on the perk deck; Gambler.
What it does is that whenever you pick ammo, the whole team will get health and increased ammo pickup rate. However, there is a cooldown for this, which kinda sucks.


QUESTIONS
Q: Why silencers?
A: Because of the Silent Killer skill, adding silencers to your weapons grants you 30% more damage.

Q: Is this good on DW?
A: I have tested it a couple of times, and it worked wonders. But, I can't state that because
I haven't tested that at all of the maps, but it works on DW I guess.

Q: Where is the video?
A: I cannot record as of now, mainly because I have a bad computer and it will be laggy and stuff.

Q: How do I play this build?
A: In progress.

Q: Any subtitute for the Raven shotgun?
A: No. The raven is special on its own because of the high concealment. You will have to get the
Gage Shotgun Pack.
CLOSING

And we are done!
