Waiter, this band keeps shooting pearls at me.
Since console just got some new decks I've been trying gambler, grinder and ex pres. I use suit and ex pres does seem the best of those 3.

My main build is still rogue though.

Probably October 7th, what with the week or so long free to play listing that appeared.

I am cautiously interested in the new safehouse.

In my opinion, ex-president is the best deck for suit builds right now, but I'm not sure on that for a new player. It tends to reward you more the better you are, and for a new player that's pretty unfair. Not to say it couldn't work, because it could, because it is good. But it requires more active management than a passive EHP buff like Muscle.

For someone starting out, I'd suggest Muscle/ICTV. It's forgiving and there are a lot of valuable skills you pick up on the way to unlocking ICTV, so it's a good idea in lots of ways. It's also a very powerful combination even on Deathwish, so it's not like armor is the newbie option and dodge is the pro option - not at all.

How much dodge you get with a Ex-Pres suitdodge build? That's probably the best use for it - I use LBV dodge with Crook, as I've found the additional armor to be more useful overall.

What's the best (or even "a good") build and perk deck for new players to work towards? Most of the stuff online assumes you have every mod available, are level 100, and have multiple levels of infamy, which isn't much help when advising folks who are level 50.
Try/criticise this level 50 build: http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/eGHjKlmNPR:tR:gjl:pM4::l50:: It has ICTV, shield staggering, ammo, movement speed and something to help make up for the fact that unmodded guns mostly suck balls. The one downside is the whole "cops targeting you more often" thing from Muscle. Until you finish Muscle, that might be a little rough.

25% if you take Sneaky Bastard.

I would strongly suggest acing Resilence for the flashbang resistance in this. Particularly for newbies who don't know how to react when they can't see anything for 10+ seconds and are liable to stumble into death.

vv I run Hostage Taker on my shotgun Crook build - it works wonders for extending survival.

Jesus, that's it? Crook dodge w/ LBV gives me almost 40% on a shotgun build (unless the numbers are broken - again). But again, no health regen. Dunno.

The real world will, again tomorrow, function and run without me.

Ex-Prez seems really underwhelming in theory but it's by far the best dodge deck.

No matter what you believe, I don't believe in you.

Muscle - ICTV remains the easy noob build. ICTV will keep you alive and muscle's passive health regen helps too. Plus punk police are afraid of you. If you're not sure what else to do, be Muscle and wear ICTV. There's more OPTIMAL options but for a vanilla starting player, it's the pro choice. If you have the skillpoints after getting Aced Iron Man, get Aced Inspire, similarly good across the board without having to think about minmaxing/etc.

I love running gambler just because it incentivizes Never Stop Moving. I am considering dropping Shockproof from my Akimbo build because I spend so much time sprinting around that I very very rarely get caught by tasers anymore, and I am always full up on ammo and health, and I am helping my team with health and ammo too!

So console payday got another update. Dunno what it added but it gave us a ton of free stuff. Problem is it also locked away certain things and if any of your weapons already had that stuff attached you have to do a thing to re-unlock it. That thing is to join the official group on steam. For console stuff.

Patch notes!
Highlights include:
*Ban list fixes, including "Quickplay will [no] longer connect to banned players"
*Ilija will no longer shoot converted enemies
*Added textual warning to [weapon] mods that are incompatible with other mods 
*Trip mines will start in sensor mode while in stealth and will switch to explosive mode when the heist goes loud [don't know if placed mines will switch modes when alarms start ringing or if it simply refers to the default state when mines are placed]
*Fixed an issue with the Unseen Strike timer never running out

Unseen Strike maybe actually working is good news. I don't know how often I could keep it active but I'm going to throw together a lovely sniper build and see how it goes.

I do love that Damion and Eric really seem to be into the roles these days. You occasionally hear actors complaining about being involved in video game projects over the years and I've been embarrassed for them in a few cases. Like I bet that Ron couldn't really give a drat about the whole thing. In this case though, not only do they look like they're having fun with it, but you can tell that it's given them a career boost.

It's surprising for Eric but Damion is an absolute turbo-nerd, his Facebook fan page is like 90% D&D/Pathfinder chat/art and like 10% "Oh yeah I'm an actor thanks for being a fan"

My guess is they'll give everyone the hat when the safehouse actually drops, this is just to get it early and lord it over everyone else. So of course there's gonna be salt :v:

Multiple days. coyote's put out at least two batches, but I don't think any of the other listed distributors have done any.

I hate these code giveaways. Either I'm unable to claim the codes because I'm at work or I'm unwilling to sit at my PC refreshing the Payday 2 subreddit or Almir's Twitter on the off chance that I might snag one of the codes that pops up before every other sperglord jumps on top of it. I still want one of those loving hats, though, so anyone who gives me a working party hat code gets the Payday 2 DLC pack of their choice (except for COP, obviously). You don't even have to be the first. Any working party hat code is good for DLC. The end.
