  • Opticial Illusions ACE - They can not see you, but you see them.
  • Specialized Killing ACE - Years of practice and experience.

  • Unseen Strike ACE - Like flies which are about to fly into spider's web, so unaware of incoming danger.
Perk Deck - Rogue
Rouge perk deck greatly bonds togeter the entire build because of two reason.


First, big dodge chance from perk decks completes dodge chance from Sneaky B4stard skill and basic suit stats. In total, you can get up to 55% dodge chance while standing still. Because of that, even when you are focused on aiming, are still relatively safe. During crouching, or sprinting this chance is even bigger, so changing your position more for something more convenient should not cause any problem.Thanks to this, you should be always able to find a convenient place to eliminate your targets, before they acknowledge you.

Secondly, reduced time between swapping weapons (Killer Instinct card) can imitate using one weapon with two different modes, like "Widow's Kiss" - Sniper Rifle and Submachine Gun in one.

@Lucie it's still not a sniper rifle, you cannot for exapmle penetrate shield with it
@[USA]AlternateEnding but C4 explodes, Widow is type of silent assassin, to loud terrorist
@Seesamu Caek whatever you want, O'm using shuriken so I'm not defendless during reloading
@Toke Norbert No, there is no way to Mimic Ana's rifle in PD2. And regular sniper with meds is still just regular sniper with meds, not Ana.

I would have thought you'd use mines to represent her poison trap.

widowmaker's sniper rifle can change into a full-auto rifle, so the m308 (basically a sniper rifle with automatic fire) can be used, too.
