2024 Meta Anarchist LMG (my signature build)
Just in case if this build appeals to people, (which it haves before i have made the actual post) i will be including all the skills needed.
Anyways, heres the build

M60: LED combo, Tactical foregrip, competitors compensator boost: accuracy and bipod (optional)
Compact 40mm GL: Speculator sight, normal grenades, any gadget, any boost
Throwing Knife
Katana


Skills: (get ready for the yip yap)

Mastermind: Just take any 2 skills to get to combat doctor aced, Stable shot, rilfeman

Enforcer:
Resilience aced transporter, die hard aced, shock and awe aced, bullseye, ironman. Underdog aced.
Scavenger aced, bulletstorm and portable saw aced, fully loaded

Technician:
hardware expert, drill sawgent aced.
Steady grip aced, surefire aced, lock n load aced, bullet expertise
Ghost:
Chameleon aced
Duck and cover, parkour
Second wind, optical illusions
Fugitive: Nine lives
Martial arts, bloodthirst, pumping iron

NOTE:
For confusion i got portable saw because i needed to get to fully loaded without wasting too many skill points, technically something else would have been better but correct skills are important for the build.

I noticed you took portable saw skills even though you don't have a saw in your loadout. If the plan is to swap out the GL for a saw on heists that need it then you might be better off making a separate build to use a saw. You're wasting points by having saw skills but no saw.
I also noticed you took bulletstorm but spec into doctor bags...
I would spec into one or the other. Maybe keep scav aced but remove everything else on the ammo tree.

Calling this meta is very misleading. Your build isn't very optimized and wouldn't do very well on DS.
Getting skills for both doc and ammo bags is a waste. Go for ammo only. You don't have shock and awe aced so trading your GL for a saw leaves you without a shieldkiller. So spec into that, or drop the saw for bulletstorm instead.
I assume you're using suit seeing as you have ironman basic. Suit and ironman alone is not enough for the 2shot-breakpoint. You're going to need a joker with partners in crime aced or basic frenzy to reach that breakpoint.

Here is how I would create an anarchist build with your weapon choice. https://pd2builder.netlify.app/?s=0-8Ih1Q0-42V0050120001xc&p=e&a=0&t=4&d=0
I don't know the stats of the M60 off the top of my head, but you can make some revisions in order to hit 88/100, or whatever your desired stat spread is.

I don't think it's a ds build though could be wrong. Most people play death wish not death sentence.

i mean you can but i just like having good ammo and being able to shred cops, i only got the other things besides scav aced because i needed to get to bulletstorm

i do use the gl i needed something to get to bullet storm (as i said in the other reply, but it could come in use if you switch to a saw in a heist when its needed but its not practical)

what is it with you guys and saying "its for dw" to avoid any and all criticism. dsod build advice STILL works on lower difficulties and can give you a little help if you do decide to make the jump to dsod

I kind of used "its for DW" As an excuse to make bad builds in the past.
Nowadays I still make horrible builds, but this time at least they can be used on death sentence instead of "45-60 damage cops simulator"

Building for the specific difficulty is better than showing people builds for ds when they don't even play it. I can list a lot of examples but just to name a few:

- Builds that can use armour effectively on lower difficulties won't necessarily be able to use it on ds at all. If you took something like ictv muscle it would be pointless on ds but quite good on death wish.
- Builds that can one shot enemies on ds would be overkill for lower difficulties and you could instead use a more wide variety of things.
- Builds on ds that spec for ds breakpoints won't be necessary on other difficulties such as frenzy basic to reduce damage to thresholds you need.

I can go on.

An example specific to this thread:
Anarchist with iron man works good on death wish but on ds it's not really gonna work (assuming you take the suit) and you would instead need a lbv.

Anarchist with iron man and basic frenzy gains an easy high zerk method while also barely hitting the 2 shot breakpoint. Just make sure to take a joker for extra security towards armor and snipers.

That's the thing. You would also need frenzy on ds which is a huge point investment if you didn't really wanna go for zerk or anything like that.
So no, build advice for ds does not always work / is not always optimal for other difficulties. You should always offer advice specific to the difficulty the person wants to play, it will work out a lot better.
Anyways, we went a little off track there so back to the topic at hand:

I would maybe use ammo bags then with bullet storm if you really need fully loaded that badly. Ditch the doctor bags in favour of ammo.
