Gox's Terrible DS Builds (Payday 2)

Disclaimer: These builds (While meant for DS/OD), are (sometimes) highly unorthodox, and stray quite far from the META, I'm not a META slave, These builds are also built for the VR version of the game, you may have to rework skills to make the build suit desktop payday better as some skill choices are dash-bonus dependant, finally, while these builds are unorthodox, they are still optimized for a specific playstyle and DS viable (that's not saying much when 2 saw suit burglar is viable, aka when everything's viable saying viable means nothing lol), OH, and if you don't own the scarface character pack, just substitute kingpin for leech, it'll probably be fine.

	Crits & Gold (DPS/Survivability) (Kingpin Flamethrower + Akimbo SMG Crits)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=1O381081d01000103U00301i120110&p=g&a=0&t=g&d=5
Primary - Akimbo Mark 10, Bigger Better Supressor, Acc Boost, Auto Lock, Compact Laser, SpeedPull, Skeletal Stock
Secondary - MA-17, Merlin, Ammo Boost, Low Temp Mixture
Melee - Electric Brass Knuckles
Difficulty to Use - Easy
Playstyle - Bog standard kingpin, play semi-passively unless injector, abuse flamethrower crits for room clearing, akimbo mark 10s for long range and dozers, FAKS for uppers, have a joker, abuse dash bonus for healing and panic.
Strengths - Straight up broken in close quarters, Decent at rushing objectives, can cover most grounds including dozers, shields, and snipers, self sustaining if played right.
Weaknesses - Limited godmode makes maps like goat sim a pain but not impossible, not quite as good at long range as graze sniper, extremely vulnerable at times without injector due to suit.
Extra Notes - This is my old main build, I only pull this out when I really struggle tbh.

	Kingpin Flamethrower Transport
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=1O380081d01038xi1000101I000100&p=g&a=0&t=g&d=85
Primary - Ove9000 Saw
Secondary - MA-17
Melee - Ice Pick
Difficulty to Use - Hard
Playstyle - Use flamethrower to stunlock enemies and hope crits kill them, watch out for dozers.
Strengths - Capable of clearing large groups of cops despite being a transport saw+C4 build
Weaknesses - It's a transport saw+C4 build, Good Luck.
Notes - Only use on transports when speedrunning or for bank heist deposit or go bank, you're gimping yourself on other maps.

	TF2 Pyro (Old) (Meme/DPS/Objective Support Build) (Kingpin Flamethrower Crits)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=1G380081c110381Ol000105g000100&p=g&a=0&t=g&d=83
Primary - GL40 modded for concealment & Painted red to look like a flare gun
Secondary - MA-17 modded for concealment with flashlight and ammo increase
Melee - Fireaxe
Difficulty to Use - Medium/Hard
Playstyle - Alternate between passive and agressive... Use GL40 and trip mines to defend chokes.
Strengths - Devestating in close quarters... Very good at defense... Covers weaknesses of most meta builds... Can handle itself despite heavy investment in support skills, Mines can be amazing on some maps, Somehow counters reAI.
Weaknesses - Dozers & Snipers as well as long range make this build almost completely useless... don't use on open maps like goat sim... Should only be ran by one person, Can friendly fire players due to GL + Mines, Struggles with ammo economy due to delayed enemy deaths.
Extra Notes - Old version of my current build.

	Pyro Build V2 (More Practical/Revised Version of Pyro Build)
Primary: MA-17 Flamethrower - Conceal Boost - Low Temp Mixture
Secondary: M308 DMR - Stubby Compensator - Conceal Boost - Auto Fire - Compact Laser - B Team Stock
Skills https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=xc0-410d000381Obg00105U000100&p=g&a=0&t=g&d=83
Melee: Fists or Weapon Butt Honestly
Difficulty To Use - Almost Braindead
Playstyle - Abuse the hell out of unseen aced for that sweet 65% crit chance, W+M1 with injector, use trip mines to spread more fire, if you see a dozer or sniper just switch to M308 to take them out, If the dozer is green, run.
Strengths - Overwhelming Potential DPS, possibly busted for DPS heavy heists like henry's rock, Flamethrower has so much ammo you'll actually struggle to run out unless you try.
Weaknesses - Not quite as powerful in long range maps, usable however thanks to DMR, Dozers are annoying since they make you switch weapon to deal with them.
Extra Notes: Flamethrower + M308 is a good combo, this is my main build.

Tf2 Engineer Gamering (Support/Area Denial)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=0-45081d0010L1Oj0-41la000100&p=k&a=0&t=d&d=68
Primary: GL40, Gas nades (cope)
Secondary: Heather, just mod for accuracy lol
Melee: Monkey wrench (achievement for this was pain)
Difficulty to use: high risk, meh reward
Playstyle: goof around
Strengths: Technician tree go BRR, drills go BRR, can somehow outkill your average pub without using brain
Weaknesses: TERRIBLE on big maps, teammates can really screw you over
Extra Notes: I only use this on maps I'm familiar with, mostly been using this as of late cause bored of DS.

	Plan B Stealth (Look at the name)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=00l00010f010381ij8nE30he000100&p=g&a=0&t=0&d=48
Primary - Raven, AP Rounds, Supressed, whatever you want
Secondary - Mark 10, Supressed, modded for accuracy/concealment
Melee - Whatever, Just go for 4 Detection
Difficulty to Use - Medium
Playstyle - Kingpin but less aggressive while loud, in stealth, just play like normal stealth without a pocket ECM kek
Strengths - Decent at stealth, Decent at loud, can make space if needed and finish a stealth job that goes south without a restart
Weaknesses - Doesn't excel at stealth or loud, stealth is prioritized, no sixth sense aced (only one person needs it), Host will probably restart anyways.
Extra Notes - Could swap KP for hacker if you want to prioritize stealth even more, but I have skill issue.

	2/9 Stoic but better
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=5gxa5081fM1000103U005012000100&p=m&c=1-4j&a=6&d=5
Perk Deck - Copycat Stoic, 4 HP
Primary - Buzzsaw, Modded for accuracy
Secondary - Commando, just team boost lul
Melee - Whatever
Difficulty to Use - Braindead
Playstyle - Honestly just play like a literal tank, good luck going down when you can just flask every time your armor breaks with a 10s cooldown.
Strengths - Literally a tank, has a buzzsaw, a commando, abuses dash bonuses, can panic enemies thanks to said dash bonuses
Weaknesses - Relies on dash bonuses (sorry nonVR players), makes game boring, no inspire, will get you kicked for being slower than your constantly going down suit anarchist teammates.
Extra Notes - Honestly made this as a joke, turns out I made something braindead.

	Grimm Hacker (Stunlock Build)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=5g00101Id010-5iF00Chh6100100&p=k&a=0&t=d&d=5
Primary - Akimbo Grimms + Dragon's Breath
Secondary - Mark 10
Melee - Ice Pick
Difficulty to Use - Medium/Hard
Playstyle - Stunlock enemies, it's a hacker build, it's literally just stunning enemies and finishing them with your mark 10 with CRITS.
Strengths - Can stun large sections of the map
Weaknesses - It's hacker, it doesn't have godmode unlike a certain other deck that I main.
Extra Notes - I'm not good at hacker :(

	LMG Kingpin (Well this is generic)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=1O385000d0-73U00l01G000100&p=g&a=3&t=g&d=5
Primary - KSP
Secondary - Commando 101
Melee - Gold Spoon AAAA
Difficulty to Use - Braindead
Playstyle - Abuse unseen strike for crits, commando spam when needed, dash bonus for rockets, takes less brain cells than my other kingpin builds.
Strengths - Takes less IQ than my other KP builds, LMG is painfully easy to use
Weaknesses - Crits require manual activation, also only one gun so shooting is annoying if you're used to akimbos
Extra Notes - Inspired by a build my friend made

	Teamwork+ (Shitpost build, Carrot's teamwork build without the downs)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=1O005001d0xk38103g00101I000110&p=g&a=0&t=g&d=50
Primary - Flamethrower Mk1
Secondary - Commando 101
Melee - Spoon of Gold
Difficulty to Use - Braindead
Playstyle - Unseen strike for flamethrower crits, abuse dash bonuses to keep rockets, use ammo bag + bulletstorm if needed, basically commando spam and flamethrower your way to victory, abuse kingpin injector to not go down, you don't need swan song when you're effectively invincible and have bulletstorm active :)
Strengths - It's a shitpost build
Weaknesses - It's a shitpost build
Extra notes - It's a shitpost build

	TF2 Sniper (Graze go BRRRR)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=1O384V81d01000101000305o000100&p=g&a=0&t=g&d=5
Primary - R700
Secondary - Mark 10
Melee - Ice Pick
Difficulty to Use - Medium
Playstyle - Abuse Graze, kingpin lets you relax while sniping, use SMG for personal defense and dozers that get too close, can also technically be used as a primary.
Strengths - It's a sniper build with a really good non-sniper secondary.
Weaknesses - It's still a sniper build, aka you need good aim, and in VR, that's not very common.
Extra Notes - I only really use this on longer range maps where enemies like to bunch up.

	Psudo-Stealth (Meme/Utility, DMR Overkill ace + Crits)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=0038r08Dd01000xi1000m1Ra000100&p=k&a=0&t=d&d=8
Primary: Cavity 9mm, Bigger the better suppressor, do whatever you want otherwise
Secondary: Judge, AP Slugs, Silent Killer Supressor, Otherwise do whatever
Melee: Ice Pick
Difficulty to Use: Hard (Hacker without faks or hostage taker be like that)
Playstyle: Pretty damn passive tbh, at least you have a DMR that can one shot heavies if you have overkill active.
Strengths: Dat Cavity tho
Weaknesses: Just run a proper loud build, besides, you can accidentally ruin beserker users zerk if they don't have hacker cancer or beserkerQOL.
Extra Notes: Prepare for kicks because people think you're trying to stealth (but trolling your teammates is the point).

	Krinkov go BRR (Meme/DPS)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=0-71d01Q0-42V00101m120158&p=e&a=0&t=6&d=0
Primary: Ove9000Saw, Just kidding, Akimbo Krinkovs, Bigger the Better suppressor, Accuracy Boost, Auto Fire Lock, Aluminum Foregrip, Comapct Laser, AK Plastic Grip, Quadstacked Mag
Secondary: Krinkov, Medved R4 Supressor, Concealment Boost, Auto Fire, Aluminum Foregrip, Compact Laser, Ak Rubber Grip, Speedpull Mag, Wide Stock
Melee: Ice Pick
Difficulty to Use: Medium
Playstyle: Play like you're a literal cannon of glass, where you can destroy bulldozers in less than a second, but you can't survive "cloaker bulldozer taser".
Strengths: INSANE DPS, Seriously, even minigun dozers are a joke to you.
Weaknesses: No Medic bags, Damage reduction on anarchist isn't enough to save you at point blank, Literally no mastermind skills whatsoever, Can get AAAAAA'D by hacker without beserkerQOL/Hacker Cancer.
Extra Notes: I only use this when I'm genuinely bored and just feel like deleting the whole map for fun, also this is my only anarchist build, yeah I prefer HP decks usually, also I might've been inspired by carrot to make this one.

	Most Boring Build I have (It's Stoic)
https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=5g380001xk1000103U0012xm000100&p=i&a=3&t=c&d=5
Primary: Akimbo Jacket's Piece
Secondary: MA-17 Flamethrower
Melee: Ice Pick
Difficulty to Use: Braindead
Playstyle: Stoic
Strengths: Stoic
Weaknesses: Stoic
Extra Notes: I'm not gonna lie, I made this to see if I'd like stoic, turns out with this setup that isn't even optimal It already makes the game boring, also micromanaging health is kinda annoying, sticking to kingpin.

Yes I main kingpin, how could you tell?
