Burglar Stealth Build | PayDay 2

By Xvoque

Here I will show you my personal favorite stealth build, which in my opinion is really solid if used correctly. Using the burglary perk deck should help you finish any stealth mission according to plan and quickly.

Main Weapon and Modifications used

Weapon Used

Raven Shotgun (better concealment and base damage than the Izhma 12G Shotgun but less total ammo and in magazine ammo than the Izhma)

Main Weapon Modifications

000 Buckshot (higher damage but doesn't decrease total ammo whatsoever)
Short Barrel (for better concealment and higher damage)
The Silent Killer Suppressor (only reason is, its better than the Shh! suppressor)
Boost concealment (for better concealment)
Compact laser module (doesn't modify the weapons stats like other laser mods, therefore keeping the concealment level as minimum as possible)
Flip on Sights (for better concealment)

Secondary Weapon and Modifications Used

Secondary Weapon Used

The Judge Shotgun (I chose this secondary mainly because it's one of the best weapons you could use for stealth since you could shoot and make bodies fly :D )

Modifications Used

000 Buckshot (higher damage without decreasing total ammo size, not using ammo piercing rounds because rounds might penetrate guards and create alerts if the bullet hits glass etc etc)
The Silent Killer Suppressor (the only reason I chose this suppressor is because its better than the other suppressor's listed)
Boost concealment (for better concealment, therefore increasing player's stealth)
Compact laser module (allowing you to have laser modules without sacrificing concealment)
Custom reinforced receiver (looks cool)
No scopes were used

buglar is best

thx

a few things worth considering:

-damage is nigh irrelevant in stealth; unalerted enemies die to any amount of damage, and alerted enemies can be dominated if quick enough, making killing them without them shooting a cakewalk

-tripmines are incredibly helpful for keeping enemies tagged, & more firepower allows you to bring up to 14 of them.

-cleaner aced is situational and usually unnecessary, since in most cases you'll be packing a primary like tripmines or ECMs. you can also buy body bags as an asset

-bringing 2 shotguns isn't necessarily good; while shotguns are great for catapulting enemies they're also incredibly likely to break nearby glass. close by aced is redundant since your build doesn't use a mag shotgun

-high value target allows you to keep enemies tagged for twice as long (13 -> 26 seconds), which can be invaluable when trying to keep track of where all enemies are on the map. v. strong with tripmines

aside from that it's a pretty decent build for stealth, good work

Flip up sights for the raven increase concealment, not sure why you aren't including them

Proxykon 8 Mar, 2021 @ 5:07pm

Kickstarter Aced is too situational imo, rather spec into High Value Target to mark enemies longer and mark then by just aiming at them. Also surprised you're not going for More Firepower; tripmines are super helpful in stealth. Otherwise a solid build.
