PAYDAY 2: 5 Powerful Builds (Muscle)

Posted on

If you’re looking to up your game in PAYDAY 2, you might want to consider the Muscle perk deck. While it may not be a commonly used choice, trust us when we say it packs a punch. Here are 5 powerful builds to help you dominate the game.

HOW MUSCLE WORKS

Okay, muscle is not to hard to explain like Crew Chief, this last one have a lot of breakpoints for itself or for the other perk decks, but muscle is just a health oriented deck, here are the numbers:
<3- +100% HP (+230HP in other words)
{b]<3-[/b] *1.15 enemy targer priority (Is just you are going to be supressed more often)
<3- Shooting at an enemy with a unsupressed weapon has 20% change to cause panic
<3- Heal 3% of your max health every 5 seconds

As I said, is just a simple deck, making you more tanky than other perk decks, let’s go to explain the effects of this

MUSCLE’S EFFECT

Okay, this is the unique perk deck that can take 2 shots of a heavy zeal without reductions, more health and that, 3 if you wanna die, maybe is the perk deck with more health… well, stoic can have the same numbers with crew chief but… don’t compare stoic with muscle XD

The next effect is that *1.15 enemy targer priority, just you are going to be supressed as I said, what means that? okay… I’m going to explain it simple if I can, being supressed is just your armor is going to cover slower, so you need to be more patient and that’s all (and maybe be graced but Idk)

Muscle’s panic is not an interesting thing, it doesn’t work with weapons with a supressor, crossbows, bows and the airbow, the panic just makes the enemies vulnerable, without possibilities of shooting? and well, how you know when they are in the panic effect? well, just they are going to…? cry…?

Idk, the animation is funny

And well the last one, you have 3% regeneration every 5 seconds, and okay this is the lowest passive regeneration in the game, but if you mix it with Hostage Taker the regeneration is 7.5% every 5 seconds, being the best regeneration in the game (passive one) and well, Grinder probably is the best but is it agressive so… ;d

MUSCLE + CREWCHIEF

Just giving Muscle a Joker and a Crew Chief, here are the numbers
230HP (Default One) + 100%HP (Muscle) = 460HP
460HP + CrewChief = 483HP
483HP + 1 Hostage = 497HP
497HP + 1 Hostage = 511HP
511HP + 1 Hostage = 524HP
524HP + 1 Hostage = 538HP
538HP + Joker = 607HP
FUN FACT: muscle regenerates 45 HP every 5 seconds)
(tanking 3 shots of a heavy zeal and one of a green dozer)
Well, let’s go with the builds

Muscle Akimbo Grimms DB

The Grimms aren’t strong enought to kill cops in an effective way, there isn’t overkill in this build because the dragon’s breath doesn’t activate, just the impact from the shotgun to kill so, for killing dozers a smg with high damage, the CR 805B being the best option for concealment, Inspire is just OP, Hostage Taker for helping the muscle’s regeneration, shotgun skills like reloading faster and more bullets in the magazine, die hard, surefire basic for the smg, crits and HVT for killing dozers faster, akimbo and nine lives

Equipment:

Skills:





Weapons:
Brothers Grimm 12G (Akimbo Shotgun) Mods:
-Ammunition: Dragon’s Breath Round
-Barrel ext: Donald’s Horizontal Leveller

CR 805B (Smg) Mods:

Muscle Locomotive DB

The Dragon’s breath in the Locomotive is a good option, and the izhma is better but for help the locomotive, if you want to change the ammunition for each other is okay, but I preffer the Izhma with Buckshot for killing dozers, Inspire and 2 Jokers, obviusly shotgun skills, Die Hard ace for the LBV with Inner Pockets, crits and nine lives (I know is a werid way to mod the Izhma, Idc)

Equipment:

Muscle Incendiary Round

Okay, the grenade launcher with Incendiary Round, I never did a build with this but okay here it is, I hope do you like it, I only can say it can block spawns for a while and entries, and the mark 10 being the best smg in the game for my opinion, same in mastermind, skills if you don’t have aim, crist and HVT basic for especials and nine lives

Equipment:

Skills:

GL40 Grenade Launcher (Special) Mods:

Muscle Flamethrower

Okay I did this build a previous Guide but… it was so wrong so this is the why I did this new one, the flamethrower is a good weapon to stun all the map and walk around without problems (except if there’s a dozer or cloaker) and for killing dozer the best DMR with concealment, yeah, the cavity, same thing in mastermind, scavenger ace for help the flamethrower a bit, lock n’ load aced for the flamethrower’s loading (thank you guy from the previous guy, I love you) Crits and HVT for dozers and nive lives

Equipment:

Muscle Microgun

This is not an oriented builf for fire stuff but it helps with the panic, you will see it as a weird build I know it seems so… strange but it works great for me, the microgun with crits just cleans everything and for help the concealment the Bronco .44 Revolver, and maybe for killing snipers too, Idk, two jokers, shock and awe for shields, aimn’t skills, crits plus HVT, equilibrium for swap weapon delay and nive lives

Equipment:

PAYDAY 2: 5 Powerful Builds (Muscle)

Posted on

In this gaming guide, we will be discussing five powerful builds for the game PAYDAY 2, specifically focusing on the Muscle perk deck. While this may not be a commonly used perk deck, it is a highly effective one that you should consider using. Keep reading to learn more!

HOW MUSCLE WORKS?

Okay, let’s see, muscle is not a very popular deck, if you don’t think that, just check it in youtube or just in steam guides, muscle is not very hard to explain as crewchief, here are the numbers of what this perk deck gives:
<3-+100% health
<3-*1.15 enemy target priority
<3-Shooting at an enemy with an unsupressed weapon has a 20% chance to cuase panic (btw, no crossbows and bows doesn’t work)
<3-Heal 3% of your max health every 5 seconds

and that’s all of this perk, I’m going to explain in detail that numbers down here

HOW THAT NUMBERS AFFECT ON MUSCLE:

1.- HEALTH

Muscle is the only one that can take 2 shots of a heavy zeal without reductions or more health
230 (HP default) + 100% = 460
460 + Joker = 598 (always)

With CC (CrewChief):
Here’s the builds of CC: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3300017672
(like and rate it please qwq)
598 + 10% = 658
658 + 4 Hostages = 830 (Very powerful to tank 3 shots of a heavy, 1 shot of a green dozer plus 1 shot of a heavy zeal

2.- REGENERATION

The regeneration of Muscle is 3% and it’s… good? okay no, Isn’t good enought as Hostage taker regeneration, is very slow taking 2 minutes and more seconds to complete all the health bar
Okay BUUUUT, taking hostage taker plus muscle is… very faster than muscle default
3% + 4.5% = 7.5% regeneration per 5 seconds, it only takes 30 seconds to complete all the health after you have been down, is the best passive regeneration in the game (grinder doesn’t count because is agressive regeneration, but is easy than the regeneration of muscle, lmao)

3.- OTHER STUFF

Okay, the panic and and target priority
Panic: it only works with unsepressed weapons, that means weapons without a supressor (duh) and because of this, fire is the best friend for the muscle’s panic, for double effect, and maybe for a little help the threat of the weapons, it sounds like a joker lmao (the panic effect, threat and fire stunning doesn’t stack in each other but, is okay, don’t worry)
Target prority: Is nothing special, you eat more bullets than the normal, for this you can be graced sometimes, and that’s all

NOW LET’S ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GO TO THE BUILDS!!!! :3

Muscle Tank & Dragon’s breath

As I said, muscle’s panic is helped with the fire, causing double effect on enemies, but who cares really about this, dragon’s breath maybe is best than the tombstone so?, we don’t have overkill ace because the fire deaths dont activate that skill, steakout with tombstone maybe is because the best shotgun who doesn’t care about concealtment (but I think the VD-12 works similar and maybe a little better than steakout but, okay, try it too) and for killing dozers a high damage SMG, probably the best option being the krinkov, you can change the medic bag to first aid kit if you want xd

Equipment:

Muscle Tank Flamethrower

Well, I know everyone is going to see the primary flamethrower instead of the secondary one, but hey relax, if you see it like a meme build, okay see it like that, but the Mk.1 is good enought, can reach 2300 of ammo without skills, it can last better than the secondary ant that’s all, it doesn’t need crits, and for killing dozers another SMG with high damage with HVT, is similar like the previous build, if you want to change the medic bags with faks (First Aid Kits) is okay :3

Equipment:

Skills:




Weapons:

Flamethrower Mk.1 (Special) Mods:

please kill me

please kill me

please kill me

Muscle Flamethrower

Well, Akimbos in this game are OP, all we know that, is a good way to clean the map but with a flamethrower is better, also for put ammo in both weapons, but you have to be more careful, otherwise you won’t have ammo fast, so use the akimbos for dozers, torrets, and flamethrower for clean all the map, the mark 10 in akimbo version have a special thing, the speed pull magazine don’t have penalties, for concealment, ant that’s all

Equipment:

Skills:




Weapons:
