Pink's Pro Crew Chief Builds
By P1nkLem0n4d3
13 DS Builds that are based on Crew Chief. These builds are rigorously tested via randomized trials with limited attempts, to provide a standardization. Builds that fail testing will not be included in this guide. In addition, builds that are simply not unique enough, will also not be included in this guide. The following builds span from old to new and provides different loadouts and skill allocation. The overall goal of this guide is to give a reference for a starting point for creating or modifying builds, to further aid in the discovery process of either newly discovered playstyles or bettering existing ones for you, as well as incorporating this guide, within "Pink's Pro PD2 Guide" alongside "Pink's Pro PD2 Builds."

Note: Unlike the main guide, "Pink's Pro PD2 Guide," whereby the main target audience is towards newer players, the various build guides, grouped up within the multi-guide once published, are for players that consider themselves advanced, and thus, the overall target audience of my build guides are bound to not be friendly towards newer players. This is deliberately by design. I do however have a solution in the works, it just cannot be implemented until the multi-guide is published after the Rogue section is published. Currently, Crew Chief, Muscle, and Armorer are completely done, however due to unforeseen circumstances, the release windows are going to be delayed. If you want more information and announcements, simply go to the main guide in the comments section where announcements and other news are communicated. I provided a way to get to the guide pretty easily in its own section of this very guide.

Main Guide + Discord
Here is the main guide that the overall build multi-guide branches from when that central hub is published, including this section of that guide, which is within it of itself its own guide. Version 1 has just been completed, and Version 2 updates have already started development. If you are interested in other aspects of starting to improve as a player, seeing my further reasoning and logic behind the choices made with regards to these builds as well as other aspects of PD2, or, to put it simply, want to see more of what I offer, then you are better off starting here compared to simply looking through this guide and trying these builds. Furthermore, if you would like to see how to conceptualize and create your own builds using my own methodology, there is far more helpful information within the main guide that pertains specifically to that, and there will be an improved Version 2 of aspects of this methodology. I ultimately promote the idea of experimenting and figuring out your own builds for yourself, that work best for you and that you like using, rather than to look elsewhere, however I also see the intrinsic value that this guide as well as other build guides can provide to the player. The main guide also sees consistent updates and editing passes as well. My primary focus is currently on the build guide once it gets published, at least outside of Version 2:

Introduction/Build Multi-Guide
After "Pink's Pro Rogue Builds" is released, there will be a "central hub" guide, or a new type of guide not seen before but does have an official name via Steam Support, "multi-guide," a guide that is a group of guides linked with one another to act as a way to navigate a guide that is too large to be a single upload. This will also include the introduction alongside other information pertaining to what happens behind the scenes, as well as other interesting information with regards to overall development. There is also a secret that I am holding with regards to a special feature with this build guide, that has also never been seen before, but this is currently an uncertainty. there was something that corrupted one of my build guides but I don't think that's really all important, after all...out of sight, out of mind...

Here are other sections currently released:

Update: Buffed the "LBV LMG Grenade Launcher Crew Chief" Build and made some slight changes.
P1nkLem0n4d3  [author] 7 Jul @ 5:19pm 
So I looked into it, and turns out on the FJ one, yes, by 1 damage, it works with underdog aced, so only two of the builds need it removed, the BV one and one of the LBV ones.
P1nkLem0n4d3  [author] 7 Jul @ 5:13pm 
And LBV CC, The first build I had to buff because going for the crits and dodge was just a bad idea on that build as that was how the build originally was when I made it, as both myself, as well as others, had told me and we pretty much all came to the same conclusion that it was bad because the common criticisms were "the guns were too slow to reload" and "the weapons stats suck too much" so it was changed accordingly.
P1nkLem0n4d3  [author] 7 Jul @ 5:09pm 
As for aggressive reload, I've heard many different expert opinions on the matter with different answers. When this first released, I was heavily criticized for not having any aggressive reload on any builds, or having it only basic on one of them. Then, I was criticized for having a ton of aggressive reload skills on builds, so I'm taking a middle of the road approach and going about it by a case by case basis.
P1nkLem0n4d3  [author] 7 Jul @ 5:07pm 
Frenzy ICTV requires it, and one of the HBV builds also requires it for another breakpoint, and with the FJ one if you get other bonuses it does something too, but I'll look into the other builds with regards to that.

lbv isnt a bad option for cc??? i use it for builds with low blow in it, but the lbv builds in this guide have 75 dr, so…. just go hbv
