    Best Leech Build for Payday 2 (Updated 2023)

    Keep your enemies close with this build!

    Payday 2 is a game that pushes and rewards players that like to be aggressive and rushy. Payday 2 is a fast-paced game where quick reaction times, speed, and skill will be required to succeed on any mission. With an endless perk deck, Payday offers players a wide variety of options to build their loadout in any way that fits their playstyle.

    In Payday 2, a Leech build is a playstyle that highly rewards players for tanking shots and going for kills. If you are a passive player who likes to be in a support role, this build is not for you as it will require you to get very close and personal with the enemies. This guide will cover the Leech Perk Deck and the skills, weapons, and gear that work well with this build.

    Overview of our Leech Build for Payday 2

    A Leech build will allow you to be aggressive while benefiting your teammates whenever you get hit. This build will also replace your throwable with an ampule that we will cover briefly. For a playstyle like this, we encourage players to grab weapons and gear that allows them to get close to enemies and wipe them out quickly. We will put our recommendations for weapons up next, but that can be up to personal preference.

    Payday 2’s Leech Perk Deck

    This perk will allow you to tank shots as it will make you invulnerable for a limited time, and every hit you take will heal your teammates. If you go down, you can use the Symbiosis skill, which will revive you temporarily, and reviving any teammates or using a Doctor Bag will increase your chances of staying alive.

    Momentum Leech (Ampule)

    When equipping the Leech Perk Deck, your throwable will be replaced by the Leech Ampule. You can use this item to restore 40% health and disables armor for the duration of the effect. The Ampule will also divide your health into segments of 20%, and any damage above 200 hit points removes one segment.

    If you kill two enemies, you can restore one segment of the health lost and block damage for one second. Another great benefit from this perk is that any damage taken will heal your teammates for 5% of their HP.

    Helmet Popping

    Headshot damage is increased by 25%.

    Indomitable

    Maximum health gets increased by 20%. If you use the Leech Ampule, you cannot go into a bleed-out state, but having no health will make you move 80% slower.

    Blendin In

    +1 Increased concealment. If wearing armor, your movement is 15% less affected.

    Stalwart

    The Leech Ampule duration gets increased by 10 seconds. Killing a single enemy will reduce the cooldown of the Ampule by a second.

    Walk-in Closet

    Unlocks armor bag and increases ammo pickup to 135%

    Built Different

    Maximum health is increased by 20%

    Fast and Furious

    You do 5% more damage which doesn’t apply to melee damage, throwables, or explosives. Increases interaction with doctor bag by 20%

    Symbiosis

    With the last perk of this deck, you can now use the Leech Ampule while downed to revive you temporarily. Reviving a teammate or using a doctor’s bag before the effect ends may increase your chances of staying alive. While using the ampule, your health will now be segmented in slices of 10, and maximum health is increased by 60%.

    Best Primary and Secondary Weapons for your Leech Build in Payday 2

    Since with the Akimbo Skills, we want the best weapons in Payday 2 that can benefit from this, so for our primary weapons, we will stay with Akimbo options since they will allow you to move fast and dump bullets into your enemies.

    Primary Weapon – Akimbo Krinkov Submachine Guns

    Akimbo Krinkov Submachine Guns
    The Akimbo Krinkov SMGs come with the base game.

    As we stated before, this build will push you and reward you for getting close to your enemies and shoving your gun barrel in their faces. Get these Akimbo SMGs, and you will efficiently and quickly tear through enemies.

    Base Stats

    • Magazine: 60 
    • Total Ammo: 180
    • Rate of Fire: 822

    Great Payday 2 Leech Build Primary Weapon – Akimbo Goliath 12G Shotguns

    akimbo shotguns with silencers for Payday 2 leech build
    The Akimbo Goliath 12G Shotgun comes with the base game

    These Shotguns deal decent damage but with high accuracy and rate of fire and are considered one of the best Akimbo weapons in the game. The Brothers Grimm 12G Shotguns is another excellent option but offers less damage than the Goliaths.

    Base Stats:

    • Magazine: 12 
    • Total Ammo: 72
    • Rate of Fire: 333
    • Damage: 42

    Best Equipment for a Leech Build in Payday 2

    Throwables

    The Leech Ampule will replace your throwables, and we do not recommend swapping the Ampule for anything else.

    Equipment – Doctor Bag

    This Equipment refills a player’s life and resets the times a player can be downed.

    Doctor Bag will significantly benefit from how we built this loadout, so we highly recommend you use them if you follow this guide.

    Armor for Your Payday 2 Leech Build

    Since armor doesn´t play any relevant role in this build, we will leave it up to personal preference.

    Melee – Electrical Brass Knuckles

    The Electrical Brass Knuckles is a jack of all trades, but you should be okay with any melee weapon of your preference.

    Conclusion to our Leech Build for Payday 2

    These builds require you to be aggressive with your enemies, so don´t be afraid to push forward and give them hell, as you and your teammates will benefit from it once you use the Leech Ampule.

    Do not forget to check our other articles, such as our best Payday 2 Sniper build. For less aggressive players who want to be more passive, the game offers opportunities for players to make them play around a passive playstyle, like allowing them to sit back in a more defensive stand and letting sentry turrets do the job.
