Rogue Dodge DSOD
RogueRogue turns concealment into survival. At 4 detection risk the Ghost tree stacks this build to 60% dodge and 65% crit chance, so most incoming bullets simply miss while a suppressed Tempest-21 and Mark 10 shred through armor. Two Jokers keep Hostage Taker healing you all fight long, which means First Aid Kits cover the rare down instead of Nine Lives.
Damage
65% crit, 90% headshot bonus on body shots, armor piercing on every bullet
Survivability
60% dodge, +10% while sprinting, 4.5% health every 5s from Hostage Taker
Boss
Concussion Grenade stuns Bulldozers, and armor-piercing full-auto rounds break them down
Rogue
Free base-game perk deck built around evasion. Three of its cards add 15% dodge each for a total of 45%, and the final card gives every weapon a 25% chance to pierce armor while cutting weapon swap time by 80%.
A compact bullpup rifle and the build's main damage tool. It carries enough concealment to keep the loadout at 4 detection risk, and firing it on full auto is what lets Body Expertise push most of the headshot bonus onto body hits.

How to Obtain
The lightest outfit in the game and the only armor that fits a dodge build. It has the best concealment of any armor and a small dodge bonus of its own, and every other point of survival comes from the Rogue deck and Ghost skills.
How to Obtain
A non-lethal stun grenade that freezes every enemy in the blast, Bulldozers included. It buys the space to revive, reload, or line up body shots on a heavy unit.
How to Obtain
A handheld taser that does almost no damage but shocks whatever it touches for three to four seconds. That makes it a panic button against a charging Cloaker, and a reliable way to lock down a cop long enough to intimidate and convert him into a Joker.
How to Obtain
Kits instead of a Doctor Bag. Uppers Basic adds 7 extra kits and Quick Fix Basic halves the deploy time, so you can drop one mid-fight and heal a down right away. The creator prefers kits, but Doctor Bags work fine if your team or a bought asset already provides them.

How to Obtain
Combat Strategy
- ▸Confirm the loadout reads 4 detection risk. A single mod swap can drop Sneaky Bastard or Low Blow below their caps.
- ▸Keep both guns suppressed and on Auto Fire so The Professional, Optical Illusions and Body Expertise all apply.
- ▸Bring First Aid Kits, or switch to Doctor Bags with Combat Doctor if the team is not already carrying them.
- ▸Before the first assault wave, intimidate a cop and convert him with Joker. Use the Buzzer to stun a resisting target first.
- ▸Grab a second convert as soon as you can. Confident Aced allows two, and the backup keeps your health buffs up if one goes down.
- ▸Fire the Tempest-21 on full auto at body height. Body Expertise and 65% crit make aiming for the head unnecessary.
- ▸Keep moving and sprinting. Duck and Cover adds dodge while you sprint, and Lock N' Load lets you shoot on the run.
- ▸Swap to the Mark 10 when the rifle runs dry. Killer Instinct makes the swap almost instant.
- ▸Hostage Taker Aced heals you steadily while a convert is alive, so chip damage recovers without spending a kit.
- ▸When armor breaks, Second Wind and Dire Need give you speed and staggers. Use them to break line of sight.
- ▸Drop a First Aid Kit right after a down. Quick Fix makes the deploy fast enough to do under fire.
