You know what time it is. It’s... time to shoot cops with a six shooter, that’s what time it is! Here we have a build submitted by @9guides inspired by none other than the offense hero McCree from Overwatch. He’s a character who wields a high power, 6-chambered revolver to deliver accurate and powerful blows and flashbangs to stun his enemies. The McCree build.

BUILD OVERVIEW:
You best hope you have some good aim with this build because your main source of damage will be the Peacemaker and you better make sure those 6 shots count! Even with pistol skills this antique revolve takes an awful long time to reload, specially for Deathwish. Bloodthirst Aced speeds up all weapon reloads whenever you get a melee kill thankfully. With all the stacks of damage form Trigger Happy not much will stand in your way, Bulldozers, Tasers and Cloakers only taking a couple of shots in the head to be disposed of. That is if you land your shots. And if you miss the cranial area and hit some other part instead, chances are that they’ll recoil (chances=25%). Full dodge will mean that we won’t get hit that hard when things get sticky, and we do get hit in the face with high velocity lead we have 11 First Aid Kits to recover. Don’t forget to share them with your teammates! Don’t be that guy. Unfortunately all flashbangs in Payday are used against us, but we can stun enemies with the explosive tips of our handy dandy Plainsrider bow. Or electricity provided by our melee weapon. However, I might recommend another sort of more damaging melee weapon, as getting a kill with it to trigger Bloodthirst’s increased reload speed with the Electrical Brass Knuckles of the Buzzer can be difficult, especially if you’re surrounded by plenty of cops.
Here’s the link to the original build. It didn’t receive much change, switching Dire Need Basic for acing Martial Arts so it’s easier to activate Bloodthirst. Dire Need + Heavy Impact Aced seemed a bit too much just for 6 shots. If your armor breaks and dodge fails, just one good stunning bullet won’t do much to save your butt in Deathwish.
The only issue with this build is that it has a great weakness to Taser. Watch out for them because you only get 6 shots at them or just one if you’re holding the bow! Try investing in Shockproof Aced if they prove to be too much to handle.
TL;DR: the prime time to play DeathWish is during HIGH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
Hope you guys like the new header for the build posts! I quite like it myself, made it from scratch in paint.net in about 20 to 30 minutes.
