Not enough ratings
The incredibly stupid half n' half build
By B〄F Altonator
Half dodge, half armour. Play a dodge build until you use the armour bag, then become a tank.

Introduction
So you fancy something new? Try this out for size.
Not sure if you want to play a dodge or armour build? Why not both!
Play the first half of the heist in dodge mode, then when you've had enough of that switch to tank mode. Sounds weird? It sure is. I bet you played nothing like it before.

The build uses ex president for a perk deck. Ex pres provides dodge bonus as well as fast armour recovery. This is very good for both the suit and ICTV. Suit for dodge, ICTV for armour regen.
Loadout

Akimbo blaster (Dozer blasters) SMG

Skills
Mastermind
We will have to make do with 2 normal med bags. It should still be enough but it's sadly a compromise we have to make.
Get stable shot only if you want to, this skill is filler.

Enforcer
Go and grab the ICTV (iron man ace) and ace shock and awe as we have no other way to take down shields effectively.
Basic bullseye will be very useful to us as it works to give health from ex president, rather than waiting for the armour regen.
The other skills are mostly filler but scavenger does help to pick up ammo boxes.

Technician
Get jack of all trades so we can take the armour bag as a secondary.
You can also mix and match smg skills as you wish. I prefer to have the fast reload and hip fire accuracy etc. But you may be different. Remember to only spend 17 skill points here.

Ghost
Ace duck and cover and collect sneaky bastard for dodge chance. Dire need will go nicely with heavy impact if you selected that skill. I also like some good tazer protection.
Ace optical illusions so our weapons can be concealable. Ace the professional and grab high value target on the way to unseen strike ace. I didn't use low blow because the crits would stop working when we put on the ICTV.

Fugitive
Akimbo skills for our akimbo smg. That's basically it.

Conclusion
Yeah i was probably listening to too much "it's payday" when i got the idea for this build, but enjoy.

It's a nice idea for those who maybe want the challenge of not just hitting restart when a heist goes loud partway through.

It can certainly enable you to be a bit sneaky until the alarm goes. Then armour up.
That's one utility i can think of for it.

I probably won't end up using this, but I wonder: Is it particularly practical? It'd be cool if it actually had utility; I could imagine it'd be good for heists where you need mobility in the beginning and then are free to turtle, but I can't think of any heist where that's the case at the moment

Just as a note, if you want more movement speed with the ICTV then i would remove one of the tier 2 oppressor skills in favour of parkour.
