Rolled a 1 on the random encounter table, didn't you?
I just came back from a 3 week vacation - what's a good build now for OD? Are jokers still worth taking?

Cool, thanks. Can it be viable without a dodge deck? Do I only need the deck for DW or up?

Do the weapon damage stats for akimbo weapons account for the one handed talent only giving half damage to each?

People used to use stuff like a HE judge for shields and stunning dozers, is that not a thing anymore? If not, I'm definitely taking the white streak.

Jokers are borderline necessary for One Down, they make excellent distractions, and with their huge health pool, are super-tanky. A full team of 8 jokers makes OD a joke. As for other skills, dodge/crits are the way to go, bows were nerfed, but are still pretty viable, otherwise, use 100+ damage shotguns or rifles.

Here's a build you can play with that gives you a lot of survivability, best used in conjunction with someone else with doctorbags/FAKs.

Dozers can only be stunned with the Counterstrike skill now, they're too smart for HE rounds and grenades.

I'm waiting for someone to confirm actually having some.

In the meantime, I recently went infamous for the third time (life-long chump at Payday 2) and discovered the joy of akimbo smgs with suppressors. They just make such a satisfying noise, like shuffling a pack of sleeved cards. This leads to the question, are they actually good at anything?

e: Specifically, the compact 5s, although I can certainly try out the krinks.

Make a build for them (Oppressor tree and silencer skills from ghost) and they are very fun and good. Akimbo krinks are the best IMO.

I personally love Akimbo Heathers but my build for it requires to me to at least like level 95 because I go whole hog for stability, accuracy, ammo capacity, and Inspire.

Yeah Akimbo Heathers with body mastery are hilarious for overkill. I haven't found any SMG build I trust for Mayhem and up though.

I dont think I would try an Akimbo SMG build in DW or OD every anyway, so yeah I agree. It is a ton of fun overkill and once Mayhem is balanced properly it could work. I definitely intend to play around with it once I hit 100 again because Body Expertise Aced adds 100% headshot damage now instead of like 67% or whatever it was before they hosed everything up.

I'll say that the Heathers on a suit build with Ex Presidents is great for any endurance achievement that requires Overkill difficulty. As long as you don't do anything profoundly dumb, it is drat near impossible to die and keeping ammo in check just requires you not kill cops where you can't reach their bodies.

I did a ~25 bag run on Counterfeit with some friends a while back with dual Heathers, an HE Judge, a LBV, and Gambler....it was fun and sustainable. I think I had to touch an ammo bag once because I got tazed a couple times after having to unload to kill some Dozers or something.

For bads like me, not necessarily. I built my build very specifically and it worked, but other builds I have tried when doing endurance things like 25 bags on Cookoff or Counterfeit I was sucking on ammo bags hard. It doesnt help that on Cookoff it is so easy to kill cops where you cant get their ammo drops (which is why I like counterfeit so much, also gently caress Bain/cooking meth).

Get Bain Can't Cook For poo poo and don't tell everyone else in your lobby and they'll think you're a cooking wizard for always knowing what to put in 5 seconds before Bain says his lines.

Not coincidentally, this will shave a few minutes off your 25-bag cookoff total time, demonstrating just how absurd the entire "bain is unable to google for poo poo" cooking scenario is, as well as showing how absurd the Cookoff challenge is. And, of course, your pro MLG speedrun strat demands you save every single possible frame this way. :v:

I have it but compared to Counterfeit's layout, lack of cops mainly spawning and shooting at you from where you cant get their ammo, more ingredients, listening to Bain being bad at cooking the whole time, I would just rather play Counterfeit :shrug:

Not to mention the issue where announcing snipers at the wrong time will prevent the ingredient announcement from playing and you'll have to wait for Bain to take a big ole hit off his vape pen before he's ready to give you another ingredient announcement.

There is no reason to be outside where cops can shoot you from inaccessible spawns on Rats D1/Cook Off, doubly so if you roll a 2F lab. If you're out there getting shot and getting mad you can't harvest their ammo, don't be out there.

like the front is easy, wait for them to get to the cars. Side, wait for them to jump down the ledge. Rear, wait for them to hop the fence. If you're going to do a 25-bag endurance run, you need to be aware of ammo considerations. :shrug:

preferring Counterfeit, though, is fine and good. I'm sick of Rats and anything Rats related myself.

seriously though, I hope if Overkill ever does another joke heist, it involves putting snipers in as an ingredient for how often this exact scenario plays out

I am aware of the ammo considerations which is why I dislike that I have to not shoot certain cops/go to certain areas/play a certain way to ensure that I am ammo-sustainable. That is essentially a non-issue on Counterfeit and really almost any map other than Rats/Cookoff.
If I hang out on the second floor of the crackhouse I cant shoot out the windows because I will end up only being able to shoot/get shot by cops who are somewhere where their ammo drop will be unreachable. I find that annoying. Thats all.

loving Spuf is useless.

So I found a thing to make custom strings in the game, and I figured why not.

It seems simple enough, but something's hung me up

Let's say I want to change "Hold [key] to pick the lock" to "Hold [key] to sneak that poo poo"

What's the poo poo I put in the string replacing text file LUA, so that it reads what key I have bound to Shout/Interact, and places it there? Or, for masking up, for "Deploy". SPUF literally just went "I dunno what you're asking but here's a Press 2 Interact mod, that's what you want, right?"
