5 DSOD Maniac Builds

Who is going to even watch this video? No idea, maniac is not a very popular deck. More math than in any other video in this one, but I had a lot of breakpoints to explain among other things. Not to mention I couldn't figure out how to make desmos display discrete stuff for the hysteria stacks, so I just needed to manually put the points in. Oh well, I'm happy with the end result anyway.

The music I used is from Cacola, a basically unknown musician due to only having their music on NG and BC. Here are both of those links:
- cacola.newgrou...
- cacola.bandcam...
As for the music itself, when it goes hard, it goes HARD. A lot of the music is ok, which is fine, can't all be bangers. But the tracks that stand out are incredible. In order of use:
- My Voice Is Different
- Tailment
- Yellow and Purple
- The Perfect Shape
- Space Cowboys
- Unused Assets
- The Girl on the Ice Cream Wrapper
Also I guess this is music related, so I'll mention it here. When I was doing that dw v ds comparison, I tried to use 3 uncopyrighted songs, yes 3, to find all were copyrighted. And so I gave up and used the widdle goblin copypasta.
Thanks for watching!

I love this deck, you hate yourself for playing it, but your teammates love you. If you play it to maximize stack production, you end up becoming a living stat-stick.

Correction for the equation at 18:34, it's a 35 instead of 36 (for whoever actually wants to use an equation that is so oddly tuned to one specific thing that doesn't really even tell you a whole lot).

Modified the first build a bit and instead of a worse armorer i made it into a worse crew chief. Mastermind- combat medic, quick fix, uppers aced, forced friendship, joker, confident aced, partners in crime aced, hostage taker aced, stable shot aced, aggressive reload aced, ammo efficiency, grazed ace. Enforcer- resilience aced, transporter aced, die hard, shock and awe, bullseye, iron man aced, scavenger Ghost- duck and cover, parkour, second wind, optical illusiovalillusionsue target aced. Fugitive- nine lives aced Like to use the r93 sniper rifle and tatonka submachine gun. The build struggles against dozers so you can just remove hostage taker, die hard, and parkour to be able to afford unseen strike aced, and replace optical illusions with the proffessional aced.

> pistols are shit > *uses them in 3/5 builds*

[@TheInfamousCloaker]

5/7 really shouldn't be classed as a pistol outside of the perks it gets affected by though

[@manisgoing]

@@TheInfamousCloaker why not? It's a pistol in real life, it's in pistol caliber, it does pistol damage, its affected by pistol skills, and it looks like a pistol.

[@TheInfamousCloaker]

Because it is more utilized as a shield piercing tool in Payday 2 than a normal pistol type weapon.

[@manisgoing]

@@TheInfamousCloaker so? different weapons are used for different things. I could use a sniper like a primary 5/7, but is it a shield piercing tool, or a sniper?

[@CopeAndSeeth]

@@manisgoing still a pistol, the piercing is just an addition. What you're implying is like if you put AP on a shotgun and called it just a tool and no longer a weapon lmfao

[@pachicore]

I think a fix could be so the timer that removes stacks resets whenever you deal damage so if you keep dealing damage you can protect your breakpoints

[@Ackelope]

any "reason" to use the flak jacket is reason enough for me

[@artyom2801]

What if there is a person running as crew chief while the other goes maniac? Could it possibly achieve more resilience for more aggressive perk decks like anarchist and Stoic? Or are these so small to be insignificant?

[@jrk1666]

a sight on the nagant may be a crime but it is payday 2 after all

[@a.person1805]

The best part of Maniac is that if you shorten support and Maniac, you get Sup (Man)

Maniac has one use. Playing with your new friends. Support deck. + you have a reason to play low difficulties. Crew chief isn’t viable because it’s not quirky enough.

Hey carrot, in your opinion, what is the worst usable build? And can you do dsod with it?

[@MilesFox92]

Technically you can do DSOD with any build (as long as you actually put effort in surviving and doing objectives). People been doing DSOD Yakuza Dual Saws 4 people runs and actually succeeding :0

[@bing4580]

He made a video about that a couple months ago, it was a hacker build with the little friend, turrets and ap slugs judge. If your aim sucks good luck with it. The build can be even more painful if you switch to tag team
