Payday 3 brings players an immersive multiplayer experience. In the world of thrilling heists, the stakes are high – the only ones who survive are those who can plan ahead and execute with intellect. This is why having a well-crafted build is a must-have in this action-packed FPS.

Playing Payday 3 solo is a very challenging experience and is likely to be filled with unwanted surprises, such as having teammates with no mics. This is why it’s important to have a strong loadout so that players don’t have to be dependent on their not-so-cooperative teammates. Luckily, this guide helps players learn everything they need to craft the best build for solo play in Payday 3.

Best Build for Solo Play

Skills are the most important aspect of a well-crafted build. Here are some of the best skills for solo play:

Ammo Specialist

This skill is best for gun-blazing players who will run through an entire mag within a few seconds. The Ammo Specialist awards players for shooting their guns as it increases the reserve ammo by 20% and provides an additional two charges for any Ammo bags the players may deploy.

Field Surgery

The Field Surgery gives players a 45% heal from a single medical bag charge. Using a charge also restores a single down in case the player has lost it. This skill comes in handy when players are in a rough situation and require immediate health regeneration. It also provides a 10% increase in healing when using First-Aid kits.

The Medic Skill is a pre-requisite for the Field Surgery Skill.

Stockholm Syndrome

The Stockholm Syndrome will allow players to intimidate civilians for a longer period of time. Using this skill allows players to control a larger crowd by creating noise from gunshots.

The Manipulator Skill is a pre-requisite for Stockholm Syndrome.

Infiltrator

The Infiltrator improves players' lockpicking skills as well as their looting and knife-throwing skills. This is the best skill for stealthy gameplay. Players are able to pick locks successfully and kill guards by throwing knives. Players will gain RUSH from being detected or killing someone with a throwing knife.

Sharpshooter

The Sharpshooter allows players to have a very precise and stable aim, allowing them to make clear shots with great precision. It’s best for long-range shots and provides a one-shot potential.

Weapons

To build a great class, not only does one need a good set of skills, but also amazing weapons. For primary weapons, assault rifles are the best choice for solo play. Here is a list of the best ARs:

  • Northwest B-9
  • KU-59

For the secondary weapon, the Signature 40 is the safest yet greatest choice.
