The ULTIMATE Perk Deck Tier List for DS/OD [PAYDAY 2]

I rank every Perk Deck in PAYDAY 2 on how good they perform for DS/OD Loud Games. After my probably too long playtime in this game I think my rankings should be similar with what the majority thinks.
Regardless everyone has their own opinions and you might disagree with some stuff.
This Video probably took a bit too long to produce, I had the idea to revisit and renew my previous crappy Perk Deck Tier List and update it with new thoughts for months now but I lost motivation twice actually, once before I even started to work on the Video itself lmao.
Fortunately when working on this Video we actually got the Copycat Perk Deck released which I was able to add in this Tier List extremely well.
I ended up having some more less major issues with the render, some video related things but mainly audio problems. With a second render to manually fix these issues I got a decent result out of it.
With this Video here I realized I should probably move on with my editing software and get a better one since my Videos start to have more quality as of recent.
Anyways I gotta give some shoutouts to ‪@HAGENISHERE‬ and ‪@mrcreepysos‬ for helping me out with some bits in this Video, you lads made it that much better.
The Mr.Beast wannabe Dallas Artwork is made by @angrycalf6902 on Reddit
Also the Video is VERY inspired from martincitopants, but you already knew that. I feel like something similar to his type of style fits well for me and I actually enjoy it. Depending how this is gonna go I might actually do more content like this, I am just figuring out things.

@@Netbee_ B is still good, since all of them are perfectly useable in DS/OD, but aren't as strong as the ones in A or S

[@crylune]

I just tried using Hacker for the first time, along with a dodge build (80% dodge while ECM) paired with Akimbo CR's and a Mark 10 for sustainability. Holy shitfucks, I did not expect it to be this good. It makes Death Sentence look like Death Wish.

[@batteriesare_cool]

something I like to believe (doesn’t apply to all) is that as some small content creators work harder and harder and eventually get into the big leagues, they realise that if they put less effort, they still get an absurd amount of views and revenue which opens up the path of laziness, a fallen angel. But I just like telling myself that, wanted to share

[@SaarlaneKretiin]

@@batteriesare_cool ehhh i feel like its more that they dilute their content and outsource some parts of production which over time just changes the creators output.

I have been running Sociopath recently, and I honestly didn’t realize how ridiculous it would be at all difficulties. Running Sociopath with Berserker and Frenzy is my main build, and while it’s certainly not the meta-death machine that you can get from the perks like Stoic or Hacker, the armor-gating combined with the panic and just sheer chaos of running around full speed at people with a Stakeout is absolutely delightful. With Frenzy you can actually take 3 shots before going into health with ICTV, so the armor-gating can be even better. Definitely would recommend trying it to anyone who wants to maintain some sweet crackhead energy on the higher difficulties. Awesome video, by the way!

Copycat stoic is interesting. You don't get healed for taking a drink, get damage cancelled after 4 seconds, or 2 seconds off the cool down per kill, but you get to use armor and increase your max health, giving you essentially an extra 180 health

[@unclegeldgeil]

Yea there is lots of interesting stuff you can make with Copycat, talking about this stuff more in-depth could be its very own video considering how much there would be to talk about. It's kinda nuts what you can do with Copycat.

[@denizmergen418]

@@unclegeldgeil anarchist gives you 2 invincablity timers and you can Just get bulsseye instead of the armor on hit card

[@HolyRain89]

I feel copycat can be nuts though, with the high dodge chance plus invul state after armour break. Also the auto reloads and increased swap speed is kinda neat. With a full dodge build, it can soak quite alot of damage even in the open. (Also it complete replaced hacker on stealth as of now with the speed boost on bags and crouch)

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

I guess SMG side LMG main could work, but I'm pretty sure it's dodge only works if you're standing or crouching, no running allowed

[@aidnyan]

i member back when maniac first came out, you could pair it with the skill that limited your health and gave you damage resist, run a full lobby of maniac players and be immortal. was during an LMG meta too i think so it was just hellfire rain upon the cops also anarchist only being A tier really says something about the last 3 perk decks theyve added

[@hyliandoctor]

That's Frenzy, and I actually run that and Berserker both aced on my Anarchist build. It focuses on akimbo P90s and reloading as quickly as I can to keep the bullets flying. Constant low health doesn't matter when it just converts into proportionally more armor, so I lose nothing and only gain. I keep a secondary SMG modded to handle snipers and other distant targets to handle my range and ammo issues.

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

@@hyliandoctor This, but with TMP smgs as main and P90 as side was my build and honestly, it kind of got boring. Running around with a similar build, but Frenchman Akimbo and North Star sniper is kinda more interesting since any time I run out of bullets on either weapon my options to get armour are VERY limited

[@jayalriik7421]

Im hoping that Copycat is Starbreeze's way of testing what the perk deck system may look like in Payday 3. With so many perk decks in 2 going unused, having a deck be all about slotting in different cards so that no two decks are the same would be a fun system.

[@Lord-Professor]

i think that may make less original decks, not more. once people find the meta cards and card combos...

I've been having a lot of fun playing copycat stoic with ictv and berserker lately. On death wish yes, just really like the gameplay loop

[@zomtron]

Honestly only one thing in the hacker changes felt like they crossed over into the why category. Before I had heard how inconsistent it could really ne and that seems to be genuinely fixed, but I do wish the stun triggered at the same TIME and duration as it did before. With the small delay and only triggering once, not the whole pecm duration. Though to Overkills credit, I can see why the other changes were made just due to some of the issues clients supposedly had

[@miemg5276]

Been looking for a while for a videos that shows the current meta :》 Also, any suggestion on which guns work best with hacker and leech?

[@unclegeldgeil]

I think any weapon that you feel comfortable with works the best for any perk, but mark 10 akimbo and single is pretty liked and quite meta. You can also just use Commando 101 RPG for Leech and push back any assault using bulletstorm. For ARs you could stick to gecko, lions roar or ak17 with some smgs or 5/7 Pistol, those are pretty much the most best setups.

[@ARCAD3BLOOD]

tag team is amazing when you play with noobs. It lets you heal them, and sustain them on your own. Plus if you're good with killing, tag team will work far longer than it's recovery rate, which makes it work almost infinitelly.

[@cloakey1036]

Crew Chief is especially good for Anarchist players allowing them to reach a 3 hit armor breakpoint with no extra skills (I think, it may just make it easier to reach that breakpoint but idk)

[@CrazyBoris06]

one thing you missed out on berserker is that on anarchist, most players run anarchist. Sure the extra hp makes it harder to zerk, but the extra hp also is converted to your armor. This can save you from time to time.
