The Sydney Build
By a quality meme
This is a Build for the new skills introduced in the beta and now the live update that makes a use of every dlc item included in the sydney dlc in one successful, deathwish tested build. This build works extremely well for the player that loves to jump right into combat and has the ambition to kill as many cops as you can before you complete the current step in the hiest or until you get downed.

Skills
This is where i show you the skills required for the build to work, obviously.

I'm not going to talk about the Mastermind or Fugitive skill trees due to the fact that they aren't being used in this build.

Lets start with the Enforcer Tree
The main skills we focuse on in this tree are bullseye, the top skill of the tank group, and ammo, lots and lots of ammo.

Going over to the Technician tree we see we focuse on only the oppressor group.


You will need to ace out the bottom skill to get a boost in accuracy and stability. You also need to ace the skill to the bottom right of Body Expertise so you can kill while sprinting (you'll being doing lots of that trust me) and so you can reload a TON faster. You need to get those extra 15 bullets in the drum so you can ace out Body Expertise for the damage buff.

Now on to the Ghost Skill tree where we get a bit of dodge so that we can dodge a full of the bullets you face with your two peice suit, and dish out damage as well.


ALL of these skills in this tree must end up looking EXACTLY like this image to get the best out of this build. If you change anything it will cause you bad. Trust me.
Weapons
Now onto the modding of the weapons and the weapons themselves.

For our Primary we will be using the assault rifle you get from the Sydney Character Pack.
After you mod it, it should look like this:


Barrel: AML Barrel

Barrel EXT: Big Supressor

Boost: Accuracy (+4)

Custom: Automatic

Gadget: Small Laser

Grip: Straight Grip

Sight: Only sights that take away 1 or 2 concealment

Stock: War Torn Stock

Our Secondary Weapon is the GSPS Shotgun from the Goat Simulator Hiest


Ammunition: 000 Buckshot (shotgun pack or not)

Barrel: Short Barrel

Barrel EXT: Round Supressor

Boost: None

Gadget: Laser also used for Primary

Stock: Riot Stock
Equipment, Armor, Melee, and more...
This Section discusses other important items in the build besides the Primary and Secondary Weapons.

Equipment: You will be useing the ammo bag because you don't have much ammo and if you didn't then you would be wasting skill points.

Armor: you would expect armor that is really tanky when using the Anarcist perk deck, but we are useing the Two Peice Suit, Which reminds me...

Perk Deck: This wouldn't be a Sydney Build if we didn't use the Anarcist perk deck.

Melee: Melee doesn't matter as long as it doesn't take away lots of concealment, but for the Sydney feel, I recommend you use the Wing Knife.

Throwable: Use an explosive throwable so you can stun dozers to kill them easily, like they didn't die fast already with this build.
Ending Results
If you have everything set up, you should look like this

Most likely minus the mask, because that's not required.
And your done!
If you have the play style of a Brave Fighter that wishes on that giant killing spree than this build should suit you, also allowing you to not waste any money because you originally bought the Sydney Character Pack for one specific thing or your struggling to find a way to use all of them together.

You can check out previous builds i have made, but sadly they are outdated :( They are still fun to look at though

I actually already have the Mars Ultor skin. I'll try it later with a more concealment based build. Thanks.

I think alternatively, the mars ultor skin, while it may not allow for customization, provides quite an interesting custom setup that gets quite close to the build you are setting up here with extra concealment, albeit without the ability to put on a silencer.

Yeah they the stats on that gun a while ago. The stock is a big piece of it, just switch around some of the parts for more concealable but not stat tanking segments.

I've got all the modifications to all the weapons suggested, but my detection rate is still above the amount that would get be the benefit of the skills that grant critical strike chances. I'm at 49 when I need to be below 35. I think a lot of it is from all the attachments to the auto rifle, bringing it to only 6 concealment. Am I setting this up wrong?

It's still 16 but you got it.
OneDaxSter 4 Oct, 2022 @ 7:06pm 
Ok the screenshot taken here says there are 16 skill points needed to unlock the top skill, but now the requirement has been bumped up to 18 with some update. I managed to unlock the ability by acing Inner Pockets, which as a bonus enabled me to equip lightweight ballistic armor and have the same concealment as when wearing the two-piece suit.

Honestly, if you ace all three of the lower skills in that tree since you want the armor concealment anyway, you won't even need the basics on top.
OneDaxSter 4 Oct, 2022 @ 5:18pm 
How do you get up to the sneaky bastard skill? I spent all my points on the suggested skills in the tree below, but i'm two points short
OneDaxSter 4 Oct, 2022 @ 4:24pm 
I see

But you need to have 23 or lower detection risk if you want to keep the critical and dodge chance posed by the skills.
