    Best Payday 2 Turret Build (Updated 2023)

    Work smarter, not harder, with this loadout!

    Payday 2 is a game designed for players that love action and getting close and personal with their enemies. Players will often use rushy and or aggressive loadouts to be as lethal as possible. Thanks to Payday 2 extensive armory, gear, perks, and skills available, players can create their playstyles and not necessarily stick to one. 

    One of the ways players can play this game is as a support player with their team with a more passive set of actions. This can be done by a turret build in Payday 2, where players can hang back while the sentry turrets do most of the job and support their teammates. This type of build can be a little complex and might require a particular way of playing it to succeed. This guide will cover building it with the best loadout and using and placing your sentries correctly.

    Overview of our Turret Build for Payday 2 in 2023

    In a Turret Build, you will be working as support more than anything, as you will need to treat them as if they are a part of yourself. You need to know where, when, and how to place them, what skills to improve them, what Perk Deck works best for them, and what guns to bring.

    How to Use Turrets in Payday 2

    Turret placing can be tricky as you want to prevent them from being targeted and shot by cops, especially snipers. The best way to place them is in high points overlooking choke points and be ready to repeal with your weapon if they start getting shot by a large group of enemies. And most importantly, pick the turrets back and place them again regularly to refill their health, ammo, and armor.

    What Weapons should I Bring?

    For this kind of build, you want guns that will allow you to repel a large group of enemies quickly, especially if they are attacking your turrets, so LMGs or Shotguns should do it. Up next, we will list the weapons that have worked great for us in our Payday 2 turret builds.

    Primary Weapons

    Brothers Grimm 12G Shotguns Akimbo

    The Brothers Grimm 12G Shotguns Akimbo come with the base game

    These Akimbo Shotguns will allow you to tear enemies apart at short range as it has incredible base stats that can be improved with the right mods. A mod we recommend is Dragons Breathe. This type of ammo burns through shields and armor.

    Base Stats

    • Magazine: 16
    • Total Ammo: 96
    • Rate of Fire: 333
    • Damage:18
    • Accuracy: 20
    • Stability: 12
    • Reload Time: 3.5 Seconds
    • Concealment: 21

    KSP Light Machine Gun

    The Brothers Grimm 12G Shotguns Akimbo come with the base game.

    This Light Machine Gun offers an excellent fire rate with decent damage. The KSP can suffer a little from problematic recoil and accuracy, but this can be easily fixed with the right mods. This beast will allow you to clear rooms in a matter of seconds.

    Base Stats

    • Magazine: 200
    • Total Ammo: 400
    • Rate of Fire: 909
    • Damage: 80
    • Accuracy: 56
    • Stability: 28
    • Reload Time: 5.6 Seconds
    • Concealment: 1

    Secondary  Weapons

    The Judge

    The Judge Shotgun is an Item from the Official Steam Payday 2 Community.

    This ‘’Pocket’’ Shotgun is one of the most reliable weapons in Payday 2 as it is incredibly lethal in close-quarters combat. This thing will never let you down.

    Base Stats

    • Magazine: 5
    • Total Ammo: 35
    • Rate of Fire: 500
    • Damage: 155

    This one is self-explanatory; this is a grenade launch that goes boom on enemies. Use is to clear areas filled with enemies. You don’t always need to drop a turret in Payday 2 to cover from many enemies.

    Base Stats

    • Magazine: 3
    • Total Ammo: 6
    • Rate of Fire: 50
    • Damage: 960

    Best Perk Deck for a Sentry Build in Payday 2

    For Perk Deck, we will focus on four different ones, concentrating on other things. Most of them will benefit player armor as close-quarter combat becomes more familiar with this playstyle.

    Anarchist

    This Perk Deck focuses on continuous armor regeneration while sacrificing health. For this, we recommend players equip heavy armor to get a higher regeneration ratio. One of the best perks of this deck is the final one which allows players to restore armor through every attack on enemies. This Perk Deck should work perfectly with the guns we recommended, as you can tank the enemies.

    Infiltrator

    This Perk Deck works better with a shotgun loadout as it focuses on close-quarter combat allowing the player to tank more shots with damage reduction. The final perk of this deck will enable players to regenerate HP by striking enemies with a melee attack. Keep in mind that there is a ten-second cooldown for this.

    Sicario

    This Perk Deck benefits the player by boosting headshot damage, increasing dodge change, and allowing the player to change armor during the mission. Dodgin will also regenerate player armor. The final perk is that the effects of the whole deck get increased to 100%.

    Armorer

    Armorer will highly help plates wearing armor as it will allow players to increase the amount of armor and regeneration rate. This deck also boosts headshot damage and unlocks an armor bag.
