Yep, fart build, then stick the remaining points into tech for drills/C4 then Grinder. stick extra points where ever. You won't have MAXIMUM KILLING, but you will do fine.

I know you're mostly joking, but drat near anything is apparently DW-viable these days if you're competent, and if your group is willing to pick up whatever slack your dumb gimmick of choice creates.

For the difficulty masks, do you actually have to do every heist on every difficulty? Or will doing everything on OVK and DW, count for hard and very hard?

The obvious big game changer for me has been health regen. DW was a bigger deal when you'd get cloaked at full health, then revived with one tenth of your health and downed again.

For sure. And before health regen was everywhere, FAKs were really useful. I don't feel like I need to bring them anymore, though, since everyone is running grinder/muscle.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
I've confirmed that pretty much all of the gameplay-relevant bugs on GGC are fixed. Cameras point where they should, civs don't stack up in a static location, no more panicking staff.

It's usable, but I wouldn't call it good. Trigger Happy is never worth using; you can put those 4 points elsewhere, not even necessarily in the Fugitive tree. Acing Low Blow is usually a bad move but for the sake of the minigun I think it's fine. If you want to maximize the bonus, use the Gruber Kurz at 31 concealment instead of the LEO, although if you don't care about 3% crit/1% dodge feel free to keep using the LEO. Honestly though I think the main problem I have with it is that you don't have basic Cat Burglar and only basic Transporter; shameful quality of life goin' on in this build. And yet you've got Chameleon! Shameful.

Well, I use a concealment boost on the LEO and Minigun, and chameleon is to boost my concealment. I'll rework it with the advice you've given, thank you!

edit: wait a minute..Chameleon's concealment boost only works in stealth, doesn't it? Son of a bitch

Anyone has crash issues when entering vehicles? A buddy of mine had three last night, one of them ruining our Black Tie Event attempt for him when getting in the boat. Somehow the game seems to desync and drop him. No mods, verification done, the usual.

It's not a new thing either, we've seen them from time to time, but only now have made the connection to vehicles.

Drop the flash hider from the LEO, it doesn't push you into a new breakpoint. Cat burglar is necessary for suit builds IMO, you have to protect yourself from your greatest enemy: the staircase. Trigger happy is garbage, the stacks go away if you miss a single shot. Underdog, cleaner, and spotter are your reliable damage boosts.

Afaik you have to complete the heist in stealth without hacking the computer, so no completing the map is not optional.

You can 2-man guessing game so find another buddy who needs it and grind it out. There is a correct first cut and correct second cut, not two correct boxes, so its 1/12 you get the right combo. ~20 runs should get it accounting for stealth flubs.

Good tip: have one person stealthing and the other brings a saw to get through the doors faster. if you get spotted you can ecm to remain in stealth and just try two wires, saw the doors and run back to the van within 2 min

Now that the Dockyard lab spawns every time, Guessing Game remains as the one most bullshit luck based cheevo in the game.

I guess They See Me Bagging is another pretty bad one, but that one can be done by grinding Transport: Harbor a bunch on normal with saw + c4 build. It's not as bad as doing a bullshit stealth job the most retarded way possible and you can bring friends to dick around with completely outlandish builds and loadouts so it could even be entertaining for a while.
