PAYDAY 3: Ionescu's OVERKILL Builds

Steam Community guide by Ionescu.

Hostage Trading

You get maximum loot when you trade hostages and you have to kill 2 cops close to you or use a medkit ( works only if you do not have full hp ) to get GRIT, with the GRIT active every time you will get ammo from dead cops, your armor chunk will be refreshed. To have unlimited GRIT and EDGE just spam reload with any gun when you still have bullets in the mag. I recommend you to use weapons with a fast-reloading magazine and try to arrest how many guards, cops and employee you can, you will get 1 extra loot from them. When you have EDGE active, that is every time you shoot 35 bullets or kill a cop by headshot while aiming down sight, you automatically get the ammunition from dead cops without having to move and collect it.

Stealth Hacker

This build is based mainly on hacking and escaping guards, you can access cameras and keeping them disabled for you and your teammates. If a guard sees you or a teammate, you can skip the whole process of escorting by hacking guard's pager, that will distract him a few seconds and the person who was been escorted can just walk away and the guard will forget he was escorting someone. In case if you get caught, you can untie your handcuffs.

Engineer

This build is good if you need a few more guns to help you when the teammates can't. You have the GRIT, EDGE and trading hostage skills, you get maximum loot when you trade hostages and you have to kill 2 cops close to you or use a medkit ( works only if you do not have full hp ) to get GRIT, with the GRIT active every time you will get ammo from dead cops, your armor chunk will be refreshed. To have unlimited GRIT and EDGE just spam reload with any gun when you still have bullets in the mag. I recommend you to use weapons with a fast-reloading magazine and try to arrest how many guards, cops and employee you can, you will get 1 extra loot from them. When you have EDGE active, that is every time you shoot 35 bullets or kill a cop by headshot while aiming down sight, you automatically get the ammunition from dead cops without having to move and collect it. The sentries are farming GRIT and EDGE for you.

Mark and Kill

This build is made to shoot everything that moves and has a gun, I recommend weapons with big mags and good damage. This build is based on GRIT, RUSH and EDGE skills, so you have to kill 2 cops close to you or use a medkit ( works only if you do not have full hp ) to get GRIT, with the GRIT active every time you will get ammo from dead cops, your armor chunk will be refreshed. To have unlimited GRIT and EDGE just spam reload with any gun when you still have bullets in the mag. When you have EDGE active, that is every time you shoot 35 bullets or kill a cop by headshot while aiming down sight, you automatically get the ammunition from dead cops without having to move and collect it. You can mark enemies with the laser or flashbangs and you will deal 20% extra damage to them. I recommend you to use a secondary weapon with fast-reloading magazine if you have a big gun for primary. You gain RUSH every time you kill an enemy with a suppressed weapon.
