This build aims to help you concluding your missions the loud way. It is compatible with solo or multiplayers sessions, up to the Mayhem difficulty level.
This build has not been specifically designed with Death Wish and Death Sentence difficulties in mind.

• Be able to dodge bullets while running (Ghost)
