Armorer ICTV + LMG + secondary saw, tripmines as deployable with some drill skills.
LMG does not really matter here, any LMG will do. Just modify it to max stats, and use a suppressor.

If using a saw, definitely don't use sentries. Once your saw ammo is out, you can no longer replenish it from ammo boxes = no more sentries.
You can support your team with sentries if you want to make a "distracter build" however. Keep the cops focused on you and your sentries by using something like kingpin or muscle to become the centre of attention.

trip wires. the charges can skip a plethora of drills and/or objectives. also the fire mines can completely lock down chokes/spawn groups

u know it be good if when u ran out of mines to place on the floors and walls they be a cooldown of like 45 secs so u could place another i guess more people would then play mines cos that fire spread and bomb blast for dozers and cops is pretty good , you just run out of the mines to place for floors an walls to fast

If you're making some general-purpose build for unlocking as many things as possible, then go with shaped charges. However, consider having separate builds for shaped charge specialization and saw specialization, since one of them being useful during a particular heist doesn't necessarily mean that the other is, and since saw users benefit from being able to hog ammo bags (and therefore often bring their own)

Sentry guns are usually used for keeping an area locked down, rather than for any kind of "support". Most of the time when people use them, they'll have aced all the sentry skills and be carrying weapons with high ammo pickup rates relative to their max ammo (LMGs and grenade launchers are popular). Very stationary defense builds
