Hacker Sniper DSOD
HackerA Death Sentence One Down sniper build designed by Lithosphere.

The Two-Piece Suit and aced Sneaky Bastard hold dodge at 45%.

Hacker
Perk deck from the Hacker Pack DLC. It replaces your grenade with the Pocket ECM, a rechargeable device that stuns nearby enemies for 6 seconds, and every kill during that window restores health while the deck's cards add 30% dodge and 20% max health.
A bolt-action sniper rifle that one-shots every non-special enemy on any difficulty and pierces Shields, walls and body armor. It is the engine for aced Graze: each headshot kill spreads full weapon damage to everyone within a meter of the bullet's path, so a corridor full of SWAT can drop to a single trigger pull.

How to Obtain
The lightest outfit in the game, with the best concealment and a small dodge bonus of its own. It keeps the loadout at 22 detection risk, low enough to max aced Sneaky Bastard and aced Low Blow despite the heavy rifle.
How to Obtain
Granted by the Hacker deck in place of a grenade. In a loud heist it stuns enemies around you for 6 seconds, and every kill you or the crew land during that feedback window restores health. It is the build's panic button when a wave reaches the sniper's position.
How to Obtain
A handheld taser that barely scratches enemies but shocks them for three to four seconds. That is enough to shut down a charging Cloaker or hold a cop still long enough to intimidate and convert him with Joker.
How to Obtain
Aced Uppers takes the stack to 14 kits, and any kit you place fires on its own when a player within 5 meters is about to go down. Quick Fix halves the deploy time, so you can drop one mid-fight.

Combat Strategy
- ▸Check the inventory shows 22 detection risk, 45 dodge and 30 crit chance before the heist.
- ▸Keep the Mark 10 suppressed so The Professional and Optical Illusions stay active.
- ▸Pick a position with a long, narrow approach. Graze pays off most when enemies line up.
- ▸Before the first assault, stun a cop with the Buzzer, intimidate him and convert him with Joker.
- ▸Drop a First Aid Kit near your sniping spot. Aced Uppers makes it fire on its own if someone nearby is about to go down.
- ▸Aim for headshots on the front enemy of a group. Each headshot kill splashes full damage across everyone near the bullet's path.
- ▸Chain headshot kills to keep Aggressive Reload's doubled reload speed running.
- ▸Bullseye returns armor on each headshot, so steady accuracy is also your defense.
- ▸When enemies close in, throw the Pocket ECM and finish the stunned pack with the Mark 10. Every kill during feedback restores health and extends Kluge's dodge.
- ▸When armor breaks, Second Wind and Dire Need buy the time to reach cover.
- ▸Place kits freely. Aced Uppers gives you 14 of them.
