For this build we will be using these skills:

Mastermind

One of our main tree that will design this build as an Inspire, a useful skill to have on DW. Start with Endurance Ace, Leadership Ace and Dominator Basic as core skills. Proceed to enhance your pistols with Equilibrium Ace, increase your civ control abilities with Cable Guy and Control Freak Ace, other than making you able to buy better assets; get Spotter Basic for damage increase against specials, and Combat Medic basic for damage increase when you revive, which you'll be doing frequently. As you won't be using Medic Bags, grab Joker Basic in case you need a meat shield, then Kilmer and Gunslinger Basic as this build is designed for Assault Rifle + Pistol loadouts. Last, but not least, get Inspire Ace to revive teammates from a distance.

Enforcer


Secondary tree for core skills. Transporter is fundamental for better bag moving abilities, where Die Hard Aced can improve your survivability

Tech


Completely useless tree for this build. Move on.

Ghost


Secondary tree for core skills: make sure you ace Sprinter and Fast Hands for superior dodge and bag moving abilities. Shinobi and Cat Burglar Basic are optional, but they'll enhance your survivability with superior moving speed and lower falling damage.

Fugitive


Your second main tree: start by getting the low tier core Fugitive skills optimized for Crook, which are Thick Skin Ace, Hidden Blade Aced, and Duck and Cover. Run and Gun will make you even faster, even when aiming down sights, and then fill skillpoint requirements by getting some basic skills, prioritizing Quick Fix as it synchronizes with your deployable. Ace Uppers, and get Low Blow Basic and Trigger Happy Basic (this will allow you to deal tremendous damage with pistols even without Gunslinger Aced, provided you hit consistently). To further improve your survivability, get Sneaky Bastard Aced to maximize your Dodge rating even through higher Det. Risk levels.

This variant is fully focused on a decent damage output, long range effectivity, bulldozer disposal capabilities and good survival while still retaining a decent speed mixed with an enhanced armor regeneration. Also called "Crook à la Bonnielicious".

Mastermind

This tree will be necessary to increase our effectiveness with pistols. Our main low tier concerns are Endurance and Leadership. Aced Cable Guy can help when there are plenty of civs, while I didn't consider Painkillers and Combat Medic as you'll rarely be reviving crewmates. Equilibrium, while not fundamental, is almost a must for pistol builds as it'll make them more accurate and quicker to fire and swap. Spotter is always nice to have, as it will increase marked special damage, and Control Freak was put there to be able to quickly put all civs in the area down by simply shooting a couple bullets. I aced Dominator as a skill point filler, but it might make hostage taking easier. As for the rest, Joker is a filler skill that can occasionally be used to increase your damage temporarily, while your goal is to ace Gunslinger.

Enforcer

The Enforcer tree is secondary, but provides some useful core skills that we can afford: namely Transporter, Die Hard and Stun Resistance. The build will also allow us to spend a point into Underdog Basic, that will increase our damage output when surrounded, which will happen constantly in DW.

Technician

This tree is useless for this build. Seriously, ignore this screenshot altogether, there's nothing to see here, move on.

Ghost

Like the Enforcer tree, we'll mostly spend points into some core skills, namely Sprinter and Fast Hands. Shinobi and Cat Burglar are optional but incredibly useful skills that will make you faster moving and will make falls seem a joke compared to before.

Fugitive

Our main tree, where we'll get all the way up to Tier 6. Make sure you Ace Thick Skin, Run and Gun and Duck and Cover, and get Hidden Blade Basic to lower your Det. Risk. Fully upgrade FAKs skills as they'll be your deployable, and get the basic versions of Low Blow and Sneaky Bastard. Grab the basic Akimbo as you don't really need to spend 8 more points just to get 50% more ammo and some additional stability when Akimbos already have a great ammo drop rate.
The icing on the cake is Bullseye Aced. Why spend 12 points on this "useless" skill? Because 45 armor per headshot has proved itself to be an invaluable advantage to save FAKs from having to be spammed by your sorry a**. Your aiming will be rewarded by not only killing the f*** out of cops, but also by improving your armor's durability. Constantly. So aim for the head, and you'll live longer, enabling you to remain in combat for longer.

These are the best weppies to use with this build. Equip them plox

Valkyria rifle:


Every assault rifle with at least 22 concealment is good or better. I choose Valkyria rifle because it's so swaggy

So at the end it will be:

Chimano Custom Pistol


Every pistol is good, I chose this one for the skin lolol

Barrel Ext: Flash Hider

STABILITY: 31
CONCEALMENT: 29

These are the best weppies to use with this build. Equip them plox

Akimbo Interceptor .45
Akimbo Interceptors will sport decent damage per bullet, perfect accuracy and high concealment. You'll be allowed to spam them somewhat in dire situation, and still save ammo with long range accurate headshots. It's to be noted that their ammo drop rate is exceptionally high, however do not abuse spam as it will quickly deplete even their 42 rounds per magazine.
