Yeah Ghost seems like a really useless tree unless youre really trying to go for stealth heists, but tbh most of the maps dont really require more than 3 or so pager call ins when you have a mastermind who can intimidate them. The only use out of that tree I can see is getting the increased lootchance so you can farm rare attachments like the scopes and barrells or masks better. Enforcer and MAsterminds is where its at, Technician is also really useful for drills.

Faster pickup is something I think about getting.
In general, many of the skills are "boring but useful" IMHO

Game sounds more interesting than I thought.
Tbh I just thought it was something like a four-person BF co-op type game ie. four people go in, shoot lots, get bigger guns perhaps, that's about it.

The first game was very similiar to Left 4 Dead, this one goes more away from it but you could still technically compare it, basically the cops are like zombies with guns since they throw hundreds of them at you during assaults. Id say this one got a much needed more strategic layer to it because of the fact that you just dont magically take all the money you find, you actually have to bag it and then slowly drag it to the escape vehicle. Those are usually the most critical parts because you have to decide when the right time to leave the safe spots is. Its a lot of fun and really unlike any other coop game Ive played, Im mostly just disappointed that there arent that many heists in the game as of now and a lot of them reuse maps which is a bummer, they have promised to bring in the missing content soon so Im kinda forgiving it for that at the moment. Apart from that tho its great and well worth a purchase since a lot of people here play it and when you play it with friends its AWESOME!
I just unlocked the last tier of secondary weapons and the P90 is beast if youre going for a Saw build as enforcer since you need a good Secondary. Once I get the extra ammo skill itll be very viable. As for the saw, its great for The Bank Heist and some otjhers that have ATMs or unlockable doors on them, youre pretty much forced to take the ace skill and the one in the next tier that gives you carbon blades since that thing chews through ammo sooo quick.

Oh also this game actually has stealth mechanics now which the first one was greatly missing except for the Diamond Heist but that one was very rudimentary where if you kill a guard silently the alarm just goes off. Here you can intimidate guards or kill em and hide the bodies and you also have to answer their pager when they go missing for too long. Also cameras are a big part and the Ghost perk gives you a jammer for them. Its pretty cool, it never works in pubgames because people are retarded when you cant talk to them on Mumble but with friends, its totally doable. The Jewelry heist is awesome for that because you can basically just run in tell everyone to get down, take the jewelry to the car and leave before someone calls the police in like less than 2 minutes.

Well i'm going to stick with ghost till I get the upgraded jammer and safe cracking. Want to see how good/bad those are. Sucks that I only get 2 jammers though, they really aren't a good choice for opening doors.

Firestarter is pretty good for making money without doing ukrainian job in a totally boring way. Got $700 000 spending money with cow.

Best to farm besides Ukranian Job is still Bank Heist Gold or Cash on Overkill and get an Enforcer with a saw to break open some deposit boxes to get an additional 200k instant cash, I have made 540k on one heist once. Bank Heist Deposit isnt worth, you dont get any loot bag items besides the occasional money bag in the boxes.

Which is what Ill do in the future because saw is only really viable on Bank Heist and The Mosconi is a beast shotgun for supression so Ill probably respec into shotgun builds more often. Its still very expensive, trust me
