Viability

A build that focuses entirely on mobility & reconnaissance to complete stealth heist as quick as possible, making it highly viable to complete time-related achievement which can be rather difficult to be done by regular stealth build or alone.

I am not exactly what you would call an expert when it comes to speed running, which you can clearly see it from the video. It took me about 13 minutes to speedrun First World Bank with a couple of botches attempt, which can be considered slow but fast enough to complete time achievement; in this case achievement 1337.
Video
In this section, I would show a video of this build in action. I apologize if the quality of the video is poor. A new video would be upload if there is any request for it.

Note: Video might be old, but the build is always kept update.

Equipment
For this section, I would explain what equipment would be used for this build.

Deployables

1) Primary


ECM Jammer

2) Secondary


Body Bag Case

The primary deployable would be ECM, which we could use to jammed a phone call or unlock a door. As for secondary deployable, we would just go for Body Bag Case.

Armor


Two-piece Suit

Speed & concealment is what matter to us. For that, armor is completely unnecessary for this build.

Weapons

The weapons choices for this build are flexible & can be adjusted according to your need.

Melee


Kunai Knife

Kunai Knife is highly recommended thanks to their poison effect, which could stop the guard right on track shall you been detected.

Throwable


Molotov Cocktail

Oni Irezumi deck trigger Hebi Irezumi effect at 50% instead of 25%. Granted the player 10% additional movement speed at 50% health. If you want further additional speed, you need to lower your health further by using Molotov Cocktail. Just make sure there is nobody around before you use Molotov to lower your health.
FAQ
For this section, I would answer all those FAQ regarding this build.

Q: Why Level 100?
A: To maximize the potential of the build with 120 skill point.

Q: Can I use it despite not having 120 skill point?
A: Yes.

Q: Why I need DLC?
A: Cause the build either need perk, throwable, weapon modifier &, etc that only available from DLC.

Q: Can I use this build even though I do not own or only own part of those DLC mentions in the requirement?
A: No.

Q: Why ECM Specialist are not aced? What happens when you run out of pager?
A: ECM Specialist are not aced to allowed us to block call while at the same time allowed us to answer the pager directly instead of wasting our time waiting for the ECM to wear off.

It is an ideal & common trick used by speedrunner, particularly in a heist that only comprises of 4 guards with the full intention of complete control in an instant. In a heist where more than 4 guards are present, you are not supposed to get caught more than 4 times while speedrunning. That is what we would call a bad run.

Q: But! But! I saw people speedrunning with ECM Specialist aced.
A: Those are ECM chaining & require coordination for it to work well. Plus, not every stealth heist can be accomplished with ECM chaining method due to ECM effect.
Strategy & Method
  • Used up all pager? Escape available? Spotted by guard? Don't panic, don't kill the guard like I do in the video. Just place your ECM Jammer & run to the escape as soon as you can.

  • Always remember to mark your enemies, you don't learn High Value Target for nothing.

@Claux 姿态 If you refer to primary weapon, is akimbo judge.

what about your main?

@Claux 姿态 The Judge Shotgun is most commonly used by player for stealth.

High concealment & capability to launch civilian or guard into hidden spot (To conserve body bag or when body bag runs out) while playing as a host is what makes it appealing to others.
