Stoic Akimbo STRYK

For secondary you can switch it to other weapons like Commando 101 Rocket Launcher, but don't be an idiot like me to make your teammates kiss the floor. (What do you expect from someone with an AIMN'T clan tag holding such thing.)

Pros:

Weakness:

I'm using the first build and mate, your guide made me addicted to payday, it's just so fun going rambo style killing everyone while my friends are struggling to kill a dozer, it's the perfect build for me. Thanks a lot!
