Introduction
So how do you become the bad mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥ who stabs people for a living while giving them a wedgie at the same time?
Well the short answer is, you can't. There is only one true deadpool but there's nothing to stop us making a cheap bootleg knockoff now is there?

That being said, we need a proper name to call ourselves. Since we can't be deadpool, we will hereby be known as.......
DADPOOL
FREDPOOL
HEADTOOL
BREADMULE

Pick your favourite. Personally i think we would make a very good bread mule, don't you?

Here is your magnificent outfit!
The classic, in red.
The dark legion mask also in red with the horizon highlight pattern.
The loadout
Now that we've got our super amazing suit of masturbating it's time to get the gear.

Oh also, being the bread mule we always tend to forget our big bag of weapons, so we need something small that can fit in our..... outfit?
Here is an image to reference.

Primary
Akimbo baby deagle pistols.
- Threaded barrel
- Flash hider
- Accuracy boost
- Combined module
- Spike grip
- Spike kit

Secondary
Baby deagle pistol.
- Threaded barrel
- IPSC compensator
- Stability modifier
- Micro laser
- Spike kit
- Pistol red dot sight

Equipment
First aid kits. Portable aid on the fly.

Throwable
Incendiary grenade. Pretty much any grenade will work here but this is one of my favourites. It stuns cops, sets them on fire and you get 6 of them. Fire and destruction? Say no more.

Melee
Kentos tanto. A pure blade of japanese steel. Highly concealable and highly deadly.

Armour
Heavy ballistic vest. It's the best armour we can get while still maintaining low enough detection and enough speed to run up and slash anything in sight.
The perks (Sociopath)
In the head tool build we will be using melee a lot so it's important to pick a deck focused on that.
Ideally, sociopath is the best deck to do this. It offers regeneration of both health and armour from kills and being fredpool this is important. What is bed ghoul without regen?

The deck also increases our melee power to the power of a nuke so that's handy. All cops fear the nuke blade.
The skills
Mastermind
First aid kits synergise well with a melee build. Place them at your feet if you get caught by too much crossfire or place them near downed crew mates when reviving them.
Don't bother acing inspire, lead jewel doesn't have the power to shout at someone to revive them.
Stable shot is just filler but helps.

Enforcer
As we don't have a weapon that can penetrate shields, grab shock and awe ace. Plus we will be using melee a lot so with this skill you can melee shields out the way and bully them.
Iron man and die hard give us a bit more armour.
Underdog helps us to reduce incoming damage a bit which we will need when running up to stuff.
Scavenger is filler but helps.

Technician
Essentially nothing. Except maybe for steady grip to increase our accuracy a bit. This skill can be swapped out if you desire.

Ghost
Grab low blow to increase our melee and weapon power with crits. The parkour skill will also help when running up to things to melee them.
Any other skill in this section is filler.

Fugitive
Most of our skill points will be spent here.
We will of course want a lot of pistol skills as that is the only weapon class being used.
(Insert bootleg deadpool name here, i'm beginning to run out of ideas for names) can resurrect from the dead, so get the feign death skill.
Don’t forget our badass melee skills too. Bring beserker and bloodthirst.

Oh, then in that case the video i provided was made after update 100 and as you can see i manage my ammo just fine.

Ammo nerfs were around U100, you can compare the U99 and U100 sheets in Frankelstner's spreadsheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15sW5ujghwxsph0xo89vTZbnS_aD7DbKU3CmAFtRBuUI/edit#gid=946479157

Most pistols only have high accuracy for medium pistols and above but most builds use light pistols. For Bulldozers, I've seen builds using single/dual revolvers just for Bulldozers, which is as good as bringing the 5/7 just for shields. Not to mention charging up point blank for dual revolvers. I don't want to spam your guild with more comments when it should be a discussion or chat. I'll add you.

I don't recall them changing ammo pickup for pistols. You probably have missed out on using pistol builds though. They are especially useful against bulldozers. Not to mention they are pocket snipers with very high concealment and accuracy.

I won't check out the video (just subbed to you anyhoo) because I know it works before (the old days of akimbo Bernetti Rogue). The problem is pistols are pulled down by various reasons of today: ammo pickup nerfed, dodge nerfed, the horde-like spawn limit, which shotguns, Body Expertise and other stuff can handle.

Trigger Happy and crits leans heavily towards spamming, which worsens the ammo sustainability.

So I am really curious to see if I have missed something out about pistols, and a gameplay would be a better way than a written guide to show/demonstrate.

I love pistol builds. They are my specialty.
B〄F Altonator  [author] 18 Feb, 2020 @ 3:50am 
Well here's an old video of a pistol build i used back when death wish was the highest difficulty, using the crosskill.

I know it's very outdated but that build should still work to this day.
Forgive my noobness this was made in 2016 :P

I understand the Deadpool and melee bit. But I am very skeptical of pistol builds, even more so of medium/heavy/revolver ones because of various reasons. Not trying to put you in a spot or anything, but it's hard to see how it's feasible without gameplay demonstration.
B〄F Altonator  [author] 18 Feb, 2020 @ 3:31am 
The pistols can usually 1 - 2 shot things so combat over distance shouldn't be a problem.
I chose sociopath because deadpool uses melee as well as guns. And IMO sociopath is the best melee deck.
Unknown Knight 18 Feb, 2020 @ 3:26am 
It sounds too dependent on Sociopath and close combat, which might be a problem on mid to longer distances. To be honest, it's more of a Sociopath build than a heavy pistol build at this point.
B〄F Altonator  [author] 18 Feb, 2020 @ 3:21am 
If you don't have the sociopath deck then i suppose you could use infiltrator but it isn't as good.
