Quick note on hacker, if you ever hear a taser charge up their stun gun you can pop your pocket ecm to interrupt them if you or a teammate is about to get tased. It works more often than not in my experience, but I still wouldn't rely on it tok heavily. Just bear in mind it's a possibility in case you end up needing to. Also cloakers are Immune to ecm feedback so if you hear one make sure to pop it not for them but potentially any other cops that could screw you over while you're trying to avoid getting kicked. Edit: Another thing, if you're using inspire aced with hacker and you want to make sure someone doesn't die when being picked up, pop your pocket ecm, wait a bit when you see the hit marker from the ecm (indicating that it stunned any cops that didn't resist the stun) before picking them up so they can potentially get some health back after being downed or simply get into cover to get their bearings.
Obviously crew chief is best because thats what the game tricked me into putting all my points into because im new and i had no indication or guide to the fact that i cant either re-use those points on another perk deck or that you can use all of them at once

Payday 2 youtubers when Scarface Character DLC was available: *absolute zero kingpin build videos* Payday 2 youtubers when Scarface Character is no longer obtainable: *omg kingpin so op omg !!1!1!!1here's 1000 builds with kingpin!!!!!*
i tried the first build in the video with the ak 17 and the sub as second but i am starving for bullets if nobody runs ammo bags. Usually with a dodge build i fly around and pick up all i need on the go. Here i am just trying to not run out of bullets :D
KevKild plays very aggressively, which is the best way to play DS/DSOD. If you play passively, you will not be able to clear enemies fast enough to get ammo pickups. Also, if you play with four players and three are playing like cowards (most DS players), it’s very hard to clear enough enemies by yourself. You could rejigger the builds to use ammo bags. One of your wuss team-mates will likely be camping a corner with a Dr. bag.
Thanks so much for the builds really enjoyable builds actually. and great informative video. I'm so jealous of payday 2 on PC I wish console could get some of the things PC gets.
So i'm very new to payday 2 and I somehow can't put my skill points into the skills shown in the video. It's locked for some reason. Could anyone explain why that is?
heres a little review, 9/10 very powerful builds however you could use another BR on the armorer build and get better damage but hey, nice builds. Then again i am a sucker for my rafiu the Ak17
Great builds, might reinstall the game sometime lol and try out these builds. They're fantastic, you deserve more subs man for all your hard work, RUclips just likes Yokai more lol
I've been thinking of getting back into Payday 2 recently, I've been playing it since I was 9 years old back when the demo came out for the Xbox 360. I took a year long break and I was wondering if these builds are still the best in the game? I tried looking it up but the most recent video I could find was always this one. Are Stoic and Hacker still the best decks to build around? I remember when I quit the game last year it was still what everyone I knew was running and was saying is the best. Thanks in advance for any responses.
Best is relevant/preference. These do work well with a lot of other players but there's always going to be some differences. Are these up to date? Yes, they still hard carry with a bit of practice. Leech, Stoic, Kingpin, Hacker are top decks atm.
Why no one is using rangehitter tho? Highest pick up rate among u.. sniper rifles, basic frenzy gives you ability to one shot heavies like r700 or rattlesnake only with better rpm, but simple 95% zerk is enough to one shot every mid tier unit, no hvt needed even. It`s also quite concealable.
10 mag hurts with the reload. Sometimes it bugs out for me, aggressive reload just doesn't go sometimes. Yes better damage/pickup, but other snipers can do what the Rangehitter can.
@@KevKild reload is really weird on this one, i agree, but it`s not totally bad. Aggressive reload is weird as well but in consistent way and can be managed(i think it`s for balance reasons). If there is need in this rifle, ofc. I started using it as contractor replacement, but with zerk it`s more like r700 replacement for me at this point. Also, in terms of bad reload there is always lebensauger - to this day i dont understand why ovk did that to this beautiful rifle
Find armorer can suffer on the first mission of hoxton's breakout though, due to how hard it is to have cover that doesn't have one grunt behind still being able to shoot you
I dont know what im doing wrong, i have the same LMG stoic build and the LMG just doesn't hit, i have to be right up on the enemies to hit them and basic dozers take half the mag to kill even right next to them. Edit: I was using the Valkyria rifle and it was doing better at killing dozers and enemies
People mispronouncing words doesn't bother me much and is often pretty funny, so take or leave this info: the strange looking characters that appear in a dictionary is called the international phonetic alphabet. While learning to read it isn't for everyone, the ipa shows how words are pronounced. Stoic is "stoh-ick"--not "stoyk".
Hmmm, might have to try that armourer build with the FAL. I hope it goes well, I've been trying to make it work for me in DS but it just never quite works out.
I'm loving this build guide. I'm having an issue though that maybe someone can help me out with. I can't seem to fill the trees like you do. For example, with build one. On technician, I can ace Steady Grip, Surefire, then take a point in Lock n' Load, but it doesn't open up Body Expertise for me. It says I need to spend 2 points to unlock this. Is this a change in the game in the last few months or am I doing something wrong? The same thing happened in the other trees as well. Maybe cuz I'm only lv72 or something?
Hi I was just looking to get an answer to a question i have which is as follows: why are all builds built for lvl 100 characters since wouldnt you just want to go infamous and almost never be lvl 100
how is your kingpin health 414? i only get to 230. Thanks in advance, loving these builds so far EDIT: Fixed it, I had a custom perk deck that was conflicting
hey kev! I started using stoic, but i cant heal like you can. in fact, everytime i use it, i dont heal. i've done what most guides explain: start fighting (take damage) » use flask » take damage » go to cover » repeat, but i really cant heal. what is missing in here?
@@Echs_D33 about 30min after writting this comment, i realized that was what was missing. The Perl deck was 8/9 missing like 20 XP to be full build, i dunno why i didnt maxed it up xD
I'll have a video talking about Stoic tomorrow lol. You totally could use ICTV, but it limits mobility for objectives/cover and other skill points/potential DPS. Up to you tbh
For your hacker build my concealment is at 32 and I’ve got all the same skills and I tried swapping some out for more concealment would that have something to do with my infamy?
1:23 hey can you please answer me how did you did that? with the interaction using VoidUI? I'm trying to replicate but i just..can't. Please answer me!
@@KevKild yeah but...using vanilla hub interaction with voidUI makes the font of the game BIG, like really big and using voidUI can't replicate the same interaction but the font is normal...that's why I'm asking who did you did that And when I say font I mean the text for example "Press E to lockpick"

Since i'm broke and can't buy DLC, i'll use the basic LMG instead of the KSP LMG on that Stoic Build of your's.
The only difference from the ksp is that it can be modded for better stats, other than that is the same
Armorer... interesting. For heists like Heat Street, Green Bridge, and Goat Sim, is it viable? Or is Anarchist still the best?
