PERK DECK - MUSCLE


While skills are responsible for your traning as holy knight, perk deck muscle is your natural predisposition to become one. Very healthy, strong, tough warrior who even without all these blessings was frightening and hard to beat.

Combinating regeneration from Hostage Taker Ace and regeneration from perkdeck Muscle, you will get my favorite part of this build - ridiculously big regeneration on health. Together with armor from Combined Tactical Vest, Paladin is nearly unstoppable.
Paladin - Recommended weapons
Heavy Crossbow

With regular bolts. Huge damage allows you to kill by headshot every unit in game (In case of Dozer, you need to break his helmet first.) Also reload animation is long, but very nice-looking.

Pistol Crossbow

With explosive bolts for secondary. Sacred fire can easily purge group of infidels or shields. It's also comes very handy when you have to uncover Dozer's face.

Javelin

Well aimed throw can instantly kill every enemy, especially useful against Cloakers and Dozers (but you have to hit him right between eyes.)
Knight
Loyal soldier who loves his country and is ready to die anytime for his king. Many battles shaped his character and polished his skills. Thanks to his experience there is nothing that can surprise Knight, never caught off guard, always ready to strike back. Knight loves his job as much as he enjoys hurting other people especially in close combat, using his rusty greatsword, every blow is always so satisfying, refreshing.

Role:
Tank, Crowd Control

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PERK DECK - INFILTRATOR

While skills are responsible for your crude traning and rish experience, perkdeck Infiltrator presents damaged mentality health. Some soldiers after war don't want to go on battlefield ever again. But Knight is different, he got addicted to war, he loves to be victorious, dominate an opponent on battlefield and prove his social status to his soldiers. It feels almost like slashing your opponents with your sword heals your own wounds.

Berserk
Unstoppable killing machine whose life is war. If there is a battle nearby he is there, no matter who is fighting who. Nobody knows how someone with such lifestyle can be still be alive, some people say pain makes him stronger.

Royal Inventor
A brilliant inventor and efficient engineer who never ceases to upgrade or invent new weapons. He is always doing test on battlefield. Currently he is experimenting with black powder and various mixtures of oil bringing to the battlefield inventions ahead of its times.

I know, I know, it's a medieval build. But I like to roleplay a lot, and if you are browsing through my builds (which are mostly cosplays) you propably like it too, so let's just pretend that grenades and molotovs are Wildfire from Game of Thromes and peacemaker is some kind of primitive black powder pistol. It's all about fun, it does not have to be serious

PERK DECK - MUSCLE or GAMBLER


Muscle gives you more health and passive health regeneration which can be useful when you are prepared for taking more damage, or when technician just should not die. Example, Hotline Miami day 2 is mission where drill is a key element of killing Commisar and fast repairing is very useful. Additionally, with cops attacking from every side it's very easy to lose health, where passive regeneration is very handy.

Gambler is better option if you want to further support your team. This friendly perk deck can heal and give ammo to your entire team, what is very appreciated, especially on long heists where ammo quickly wears out, like Big Bank or infamous Overdrill.
Royal Inventor - Recommended Weapons

Who would have thought that with a piece of wood and a few steel elements bented in the shape of a cylinder you can greate portable Wildfire-thrower. Great for groups of peasants.

Peacemaker .45 Revolver

After creating this, black powder for sure is your favorite toy. Even the most primitive version of this pistol was deadly, this upgraded model is at least six times better. Good for individual targets, especially larger targets.

Both tool and weapons. This little guy puts war into warhammer. It's big knockback can save your skin when you have to reload your weapons.
Rogue
Bandit, crook, thief, this person has many nicknames, but every one of them suits her very well. Allways behind covers, attacking by surprise, Rogue's fight style is cheap and filthy for honorable warriors. But it's better to be alive than honorable, right?

I tried using Maniac perk deck on Berserk loadout and I ended up staying in the middle of the battlefield, slashing through every infidel that got into my way for minutes without losing my armor. Great build comrade, DEUS VULT!

Why acing Sneaky B-stard if you already have a detection risk level 3 (which is the lowest detection risk in the entire game)?
