Ultimate M1014 shotgun builds [DS+OD]
By =T$D= SolidGrinch and 2 collaborators
Hello, are you bored of meta shotguns like Izhma, Brothers Grimm and Goliaths? Do you still wanna use shotguns because of their power? Then fear not, the M1014 is for you. In this guide you'll find 3 different builds using this interesting weapon. Don't worry, we won't use Anarchist or Rogue there. SolidGrinch, Uncle Geldgeil and RaFree teamed up to make this special guide.

Base tactics for the weapon, tips.
While using this weapon, do not play too aggresively, do not act like an one man army. Your shotgun isn't like Izhma or any other meta shotguns. You cannot clear entire swarm of cops in single mag. Play carefully, while engaging dozers, don't forget to mark them if you have high value target. Use cover to hide when dozer is up to deal a lot of damage. Try to flank, play more of a damage supporter, than main damage dealer. Make sure you reload in a safe place, it takes a bit of time when you have from 0.
SolidGrinch's view: Kingpin build.
Changelog
06.03.2020 - Tweaks in ghost and fugitive, leading to improve damage output on dozers especially.
18.03.2020 - Major tweaks, changing armor from suit to LBV.
27.05.2020 - Tweaks around enforcer, ghost, adding something to technician.

Skills.
Mastermind

Doctor bags and Inspire are base things you take for DS. Also docbags can help if in your lobby you'll meet some Anarchists and Rogues. Converts with Hostage Taker to increase sustain ability and get some meat shield.

Enforcer

Shotgun skills to improve damage output of M1014. Underdog aced to survive a Green Dozer hit from 10 meters or above. Die Hard aced to make LBV be able to tank a shot without getting destroyed by normal swats, medics, medic dozers etc. Bullseye to sustain in a fight.

Technician

Basic hardware expert to make drills a bit easier to fix.

Ghost

Duck and Cover to have decent mobility. Low Blow aced to improve damage output and make dozers avaiable to kill. Aced optical illusions will be useful for secondary. Unseen strike to make dozers less of an issue with buffed crit chance.

Fugitive

Just nine lives aced for OD ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. But SaladCringe, why not swan song? Welp, I just found it pointless for me, if you really can't live with swan song, cut some skills from other places.

Perkdeck:
Uncle Geldgeil's view: Stoic build
Skills

Mastermind
From Combat Medic basic up to Inspire aced on the left side of Medic Subtree aced.
This is a Stoic Build so First aid Kits are the better choice here instead of Medic Bag.
Also be sure to have Convert skills to have more base HP and HP regen with Hostage Taker.



Enforcer
Shotgun Skills aced except Overkill since you only use Shotguns anyway.
Resilience ace against those evil Flashbangs and Die Hard ace for more base HP.



Technician
Nothing



Ghost
Parkour skills for better movement, Inner Pockets basic to have a lower detection = better crit chance.
Low Blow ace for crits, Unseen strike basic and High Value Target basic to deal more easily with Bulldozers.



Fugitive
I thought about having Nine Lives ace but I am still unsure what to remove, I tried Hostage Taker basic instead of ace, but then I rely more on First aid Kits, since basic Hostage Taker takes ages to regen HP and I personally don't really enjoy that.
To be honest though, since this is a Stoic Build you probably don't even need Nine Lives.
Also let's not talk about Swan Song... it's useless let's be real here.



Weapons and Equipment

Primary
M1014 Shotgun (duh)

Modded with:
  • 000 Buckshot
  • Long Barrel
  • Donald's Horizontal Leveller
  • Concealment Boost
  • Compact Laser Module
  • Collapsed Stock

Long Barrel is making a bit of troubles in terms of detection (19 Detection) but it just gives 10 bullets in the whole Magazine, which are more useful than either Short Barrel with 6 bullets (7 Detection) or no mod at 8 bullets (16 Detection)
No mod doesn't really change up the crit chance, and you are just losing 2 bullets for pretty much no point.
Short Barrel may give you an ability to get more crit chance or even Low Blow basic, but having 6 bullets just doesn't feel right - at least for me.
So Long Barrel seems like the best bet.


Secondary
Judge Shotgun

Modded with:
  • HE Round
  • Concealment Boost
  • Compact Laser Module


Melee:
Electical Brass Knuckles (optional)


Throwable:
Stoic's Hip Flask


Deployables:

First Aid Kit


Armor:
Light Ballistic Vest

You could argue about having Heavy Ballistic Vest for more HP, that however lowers your crit chance a lot (29 detection) instead of Light Ballistic Vest (19 detection).


Perk Deck:
Stoic
RaFree's view: Armorer build.
(Updated 9/2/2020)

Skills

Mastermind
Inspire of course! Don't be selfish! Jokers are so useful in DS because they distract enemies and help you and your teamates survive and complete objectives.

Enforcer
Shotgun skills since we use M1014.
Standard armorer skills to improve armor recovery and equip ICTV.
Scavenger is an addon


Technician
Hardware Expert is an addon but its useful.

Ghost
Basic running skills is a must in every build. Second wind basic helps a lot in Armorer so you can find a safe spot fast to replenish your armor. Optical Illusion basic is good to have in every build
Fugitive
Nine Lives because we gonna use this build in OD. Berserker for an extra damage boost.

Thanks mate, much appreciated! And yeah, SomeBodY is just eh, but let's focus on other things

Just made the mistake of reading SomeBodY's comments.
Jesus that was a volatile bitch-fest...

Well, I for one like the guide

Good job guys! :D

Just search a guide up, there are plenty out there.
I at least have no reason to make up my own guide for my LMG Stoic one.

DSOD Lmg stoic when?
uncle geldgeil  [author] 22 Jan, 2020 @ 8:19am 
I figured already
ZicXox 22 Jan, 2020 @ 8:19am 
you're better off not replying uncle, at this point he's trolling you and wants you to respond, don't give him what he wants
SomeBodY 22 Jan, 2020 @ 6:31am 
Of course you're lost. You didn't even read the thing
