Scout is pretty much the ultimate Dodge build. Fast, hard to hit, and incredibly full of themselves.

[@DrUber-kh9io]

Hi, medic main here. For that run, you can try finding a syringe gun mod, but failing that, you can use crossbows, and the syringe melee, in lieu of a bonesaw. bonus poins if melee weapons are cappable of crits. Looking at you, ubersaw. If the bots weren't so blatantly OP you could bring them. Tag Team would be a PERFECT stand-in for the medigun, allowing you to heal one ally at a time. The run could focus on having jokers, or a mod to replace crew AI with a single absolute unit, mimicking the age old pocket medic playstyle.

[@SelectBard133]

Missed opportunity to go for speedrun challenges for Scout. You could've set yourself a time limit per mission based on average completion time and made those thresholds a constituent for completing the run. Or at the very least included speed-based achievements like Full Throttle (though for sure a lot of those are probably impossible on DW)

[@llmkursk8254]

Completely forgot about the throwing axes for this run, acting as Flying Guillotines to help conserve ammo. In any case, this is pretty close to my favorite build, being Breaker primary and pistol/revolver secondary for that fast-paced, DPS or nothing build. I don't even take jokers, just dumping all 120 points into crits, Frenzy, Trigger Happy, and Overkill Aced for that full damage that works even at range. The only difference is that I usually run Anarchist, Sociopath, or Copycat, which I take Fully Loaded Aced instead of Frenzy Aced to make ammo economy trivial and get throwables back all the time.

[@Pinkanator]

This is fun as always, glad these are still going on! Really do hope someday we can get a "canon only" run of 4 players using the main 4 heisters using only their specific decks *and* skill tree pages (restricting yourselves to a page each should be interesting), as well as only weapons they're shown to use in promotional artwork/videos, with Hoxton and his skill tree only being accessible post-breakout. Probably needs some kind of stipulation that "no, the other 3 players aren't allowed to wait around in stealth while Houston does all the work" too. And if you really want to push it over the line of "all canon", The Secret would really be fun to fully explore.

heres a pitch for medic: -you can use primary grenade launchers, gl40 or the piglet, equipped with the viper grenade ammunition (since there is no medigun in payday 2, i decided to improvise by turning the healing over time to damage over time, and since pyro has fire damage covered, we are forced to use something more "medically professional") -you can use the tatonka, pachett l2a1, the signature, or the pistol crossbow in your secondary (you could probably change the 3 smgs to fit in more with the syringe gun look, but keep the pistol crossbow) -as for melee, you can use the syringe, the kunai, and the lumber lite l2 (i suppose a chainsaw is better than no saw, yeah? kunai is just for the poison) -throwables should ideally be the viper grenade, although you could use the kingpin injector or the leech ampule -perk deck could be grinder, kingpin or leech

Remember that everything about the Payday 3 beta still holds true for release

[@MyUsersDark]

Almost as if it was more of a demo than a "beta"

[@AmaraTheBarbarian]

My scout build uses throwing axes, since I think that's a fair substitute for the flying guillotine. Breaker 12G as the primary, gruber kurz as secondary, throwing axe for throwable, and baseball bat for melee, all set up for max concealment with inner pockets to get me a DR of 6, one concealment point away from max low blow and sneaky B, but such is life. For the perk deck I use copycat maxed out for dodge, which is a little less than fully capped rogue, but the other bonuses are well worth, though I could see not wanting to use copycat on a challenge run. As far as the skills are concerned I didn't go too far into shotguns, just aceing CQB and impact, I focused a lot more on making the Gruber viable taking at least basic of every skill in the pistol tree except akimbo. The breaker 12g is strong enough on its own and sustains well enough, it's the gruber that needed help but with that help it does enough of the heavy lifting especially when dozers are involved.

[@Lunaraia]

For the Medic, the Needle gun could be basically any pistol with fléchettes (has to be fléchettes) you can also use the crossbows as Medic do have those. Bonesaw could be the saw or any serrated melee weapon, as for the medigun... I... got noffin. Nothing like that in the game, but if there was, I'd say you would HAVE to use crew AI so you could heal them with it :D

[@somerandomgamer8504]

Ayyy, I did this with a sawn off double barrel for my Force'a'Nature, and a stock pistol (Gruber)

[@wander3664]

i just know this will be amazing! For a change from the TF2 Class series, you could try a full run with the content-filled Restoration Mod! It has a lot more in terms of progression meaning difficulty is less of a "increase the enemy health and damage" to "there's actual differences that you don't need a stat spreadsheet to play and enjoy". Oh and starting at something like Very Hard or Overkill and slowly working your way up to Death Wish or even Death Sentence (as a mediocre player it is quite an enjoyable challenge) oh and allowing a single bot for help, downs are somewhat less permament.

Great video! I can't wait to see how you'll tackle the soldier and medic! I think for a medic run, you should look for the most awful and brutal weapons that could arguably hold some sort of "medical" value. Maybe something like the compressed air cannon testing the human body's resistance to a strong amount of force. I guess you could also use crossbows, because of the Crusader's Crossbow. The medic as a character is all about the difference between surgery and mutilation, and it'd be interesting to see that reflected in the game!

I have some interesting rules for the medic run. Obviously, its gonna be different. Medic's main function is impossible in pd2, after all. I say, instead of trying to heal people, do what tf2 medics actually end up doing: babysitting morons, hoping they do what they are supposed to. Since medic is a team player by design, im thinking that this run should be done with either bots on but on +1higher difficulty setting(if solo), or (even better) with real players that are forced to abide by the rules of previous class challenges of their choice, but on DS only from start to finish. Your only ranged weaponry are crossbows + airbow (possibly laced with poison) and the poison syringe for melee(dont think there are bonesaws in the game and medic is all about syringes). This would force medic into a support role, while still allowing decent damage potential when required, just as in tf2. Medic would be a fantastic celebration of this series and a farly fun (if painful) finale. Oh, and if it becomes too easy, go DSOD after reaching lvl 80. Have fun!

[@nylonzero9048]

I think for the Medic run, it could be something with three other people willing to play with you in a lobby. You have to make sure none of them go into custody while you yourself can't be revived if downed? It sounds like hell, but it definitely fits the idea of Medic being the only way the TF2 team can even still be alive. In my opinion.

the medic i would love to see a collaboration type of thing where you have someone leel up along side you who may or may not have never played the game before, would work great if they were a medic main in tf2 and your only job is to provide faks and other support skills and using the first perk deck(can't remember the name) to give them buffs and support. maybe limit yourself to only a crossbow or smg as a weapon to mirror the medics poison crossbow, nothing too powerful though.
