[Updated] Death Sentence Pistol Build
By AndréVB
My favorite and personal Build for my beloved Baby Deagle, you can use any other pistol with this skill set, i recommend you try the STRYK 18 with this.
High survivability, High DPS and you can melt dozers with this build... trust me.
Effective Pistol Build for Death Sentence and it can handle itself at mid level Crime Spree.

Use akimbo Machine pistols (Berneti machine pistol) and you have an a-10 warthog

Try using the gl40 more often, and to kill groups of enemies, that way you can get a lot of ammo

I Actually Run Your Build With Sicario Perk Deck Instead, And Turns Out It Pretty Damn Good On Mayhem

But The Problem Is, I Occasionally Run Out Ammo Very Quickly*, I Think Scavanger Aced Is Not Enough To Neglect This Problem
