MANIAC. Let's talk. (Payday 2)
2,822Maniac Payday 2, a perk deck that has actually just been updated. Is it good for death sentence difficulty? Let's take a look at the damage absorption in Payday 2 with the Maniac deck.
A lot of time went in to editing this information to make it more visual to understand, hope you like it. I did my best to research the values here and although it gets technical with the numbers, I think I got the point across.
The setup combo I used in the gameplay was: Surefire aced, berzerker and one joker, with partners in crime.

There may be discussion around what order does the damage reduction and absorption stack. After lots of threads and searching, I did fin the piece in the Payday 2 Long Guide that talks about taking damage and the order in which it stacks. It states, when talking about taking damage:
"multiplicative bonuses are applied first", multiplicative meaning Frenzy and Underdog. If it turns out that maniac is in fact applied first then the frenzy discussion is still the same (values differ) however, it would change the underdog portion, and would not be a 3 shot armor break, but back to a 2.
