It can take players a while to realise you can have multiple builds in Payday 2, enabling you to have many takes on how you personalise the different skill trees.

You can unlock up to five slots on the skills section of your inventory, which can be switched between to your heart's content. This means you don’t have to stick to one preferred way of playing and can test out new skills whenever you feel like it - if you’ve got the points, that is.

Used wisely you can be ready to go no matter who you’re playing with, able to flit between a sneaky build for complex stealth heists to a tank-like enforcer build for taking on the heavy hitters of the SWAT teams (and worse) that want to ruin your day.

Phoenix lives in the North East of England and gets paid to hide that fact in voiceovers. She's also a writer, a/v editor and someone who spends a frankly ridiculous amount of time gaming. She can't resist an amiibo. She will talk your ear off about videogames, wrestling, comics, bad films and My Little Pony.
