DSOD - Death Sentence One Down
I tried to make it as informative as I possibly could, but the problem is that my editing software crashed A THOUSAND times while making the video. On top of that I experienced a lot of freezing and annoying glitches. Dragging just one clip was enough for the software to freeze for a few seconds, I also had to change the font everytime I typed something because it kept resetting - you can imagine how hard and annoying it was.
Remember, these ARE NOT meta builds that allow you to kill everything and never die without any effort. If you struggle with ICTV LMG Stoic or DB Grimm on shotgun builds, then these definitely will not work for you. The point of them was to create interesting combinations that are not necessarily optimal, for example Contractor with every damage boosting skill (very overkill) or M1014 with Commando. Nonetheless, they work fine as long as you know what you're doing, but again, the video focuses on variety and fun stuff.
Making so many builds and recording everything in about 3-4 days was also pretty difficult, especially when it was during christmas. I was distracted by my family most of the time, so I for sure made a few mistakes, here are the ones that I've personally noticed so far:
I used concealment boosts on Spec Ops for Armorer and Predator for Rogue - you can change those. Armorer is at 75 DR either way, so it won't help and the Rogue build has 22 DR, which means that removing the concealment boost will leave you at 23 (use it to get -4 accuracy boost instead).

[Crew Chief]
One of the very strongest decks in the game. My build utilizes the most powerful possible setup: ICTV, 2 Jokers, Hostage Taker & FAKs - The most survivability you can reach with this perk. On top of that, I paired it with an LMG + Shock & Awe aced which means you can play this build without ever switching to your secondary. So overall, it's one of the strongest builds I listed here.
[Muscle]
Another solid deck. For max survivability you'd rather go with ICTV and FAKs (to activate Quick Fix) and have the ability to tank 4 heavy shots without dying - as strong as Crew Chief in this case. I prefer LBV and less survivability because I'm allowed to go with Low Blow - the second best option. I also chose the less common weapon combo: AR + high damage SMG. Considering that I picked Shock & Awe for this build as well - it's very good. If you, however, remove it from the build, then might struggle with shields, and trust me, this is a much bigger problem than some might think. In general, you might struggle with ammo management if you're not used to ARs on their own + the version I'm using has lower survivability, but considering that Muscle is quite strong, it shouldn't be too hard to use.
[Armorer]
The better Anarchist. As long as you have ICTV there's pretty much nothing that can stop you. As I noted in my video, the game decided to troll me and changed my ICTV to Suit... that lowers the survivability about twice as much, but as long as you have the right armor, it's nuts. The effectivity of the build depends entirely on your aim - if you can utilize the sniper rifle well, then you'll destroy everything in your path.
[Rogue]
Crowd's favorite despite being the weakest dodge deck. My setup is pretty simple, just remember - do not rely on dodge. But then again, it's a shotgun setup, so you shouldn't have much trouble.
[Hitman]
The perk itself isn't that great, but the build can stomp if you manage to activate Bullestorm, if you don't, then you're forced to play slowly, so again, not the easiest build and you might struggle with it if you're not used to non-meta setups.
[Crook]
Considered to be one of the weakest deck for DS by a lot of people for whatever reason, it's just mindblowing. My build can be pretty hard to use, so don't expect anything special if you're used to top tier builds, but it obviously works fine.
[Burglar]
There's this misconception that Grom should not be used without berserker, uh... not true. If your aim is decent, then you will not struggle + you have Micro Uzi in this setup. Very ammo efficient in general, it's actually a strong build if you can aim. The perk deck on its own is kinda situational, if there's no lockpicking then it's mediocre, if there's lots of lockpicking, then it's pretty good.
