Positives

Negatives
- Requires hotline miami digital deluxe edition
- Requires infamy 5 or higher
- The free guns aren't as good as the DLC guns

If you don't have the ultimate edition grab the KSP and the compact grenade launcher.
If you do own the ultimate edition then go for the RPK and china puff with incendary grenades for that little extra crowd control.
Make sure your LMG has a suppressor on it to benefit from the skills we took in ghost. (The professional) It will also make your lmg more accurate and stable.

The armour will be the combined tactical vest. However if you wish to take the ICTV then i recommend removing feign death in the skills. Just hope your team mates can revive you.

For the equipment we will want to take ammo packs and meds. We can take both because of the jack of all trades skill.
It doesn't really matter which you select as your primary, so do whatever you're comfortable with.
The choice is yours to bring mostly meds or mostly ammo, either way you will have plenty of each.

The melee i recommend is the ice pick. It has great damage and usage is a lot faster than other melee choices. However this is a DLC melee.

Bring whatever throwable you want, i couldn't care less. If you could throw people like in we happy few i would bring that.

This is now the end of the guide so i'll leave you with a few final words.
This build has slow-ish movement because you don't need to move a lot in holdout mode. So just be aware that you might not be able to run through hordes of cops without taking a few shots.
When using the lmg bipod make sure you have your back to a wall so nothing can sneak up behind you, or get a team mate to cover your back.
Remember that gaining kills charges up your melee power, with enough power you can take out a dozer in 1 swing. Melee is also your way of gaining back health.
Keep killing to keep up your armour.
And finally watch out for snipers, it may be a little hard to hit them with an lmg but 1 shot should kill them.
