General information and builds about the Tag Team perk deck. This guide was done in the DSOD perspective all information should work on the lower difficulties

What is Tag Team and Why Should You Use It

Tag Team is an extremely underrated perk deck in Payday 2. Tag Team is sold in the H3H3 character pack – [steampowered.com]  and is a unique option to other health-based decks. Unlike the other health based decks in the game Tag Team requires an allied unit to use.

Why you should use it: Tag Team is one of the better decks on the lower tier. Tag Team has a level of teamplay required (jokers are your friends) that other perk decks do not have. It also has a fun and aggressive play style that can also change to slow on the fly.

How does Tag Teamwork?

Tag Team replaces your throwable with a Gas Dispenser. The Gas Dispenser is used on an ally unit(Jokers, Team ai, and Other players). The Gas Dispenser lasts 12 seconds and has a 60 second cool down. The Gas Dispenser allows you to “Tag” an ally within 18 meters of you with line of sight. Each kill while the dispenser is active gives the player 15 hp and increases the timer by 1.3 seconds and only when the user gets a kill it reduces the cooldown by 2. When getting a kill the ally unit that “tagged” gets healed 7.5 hp. Tag Team also increases your base hp by 40% (322). When card 5 is unlocked each kill the usergets 2 damage absorption up to 20. The final card gives the 2 second timer reduction on kill to the tagged target. Sometimes tagging an ally is a true test of willpower and will not tag them this tends to happen when tagging the same unit multiple times in a row.

Tips for Running Tag Team

• You should always try and tag the best performing player in the lobby.
• Tag Team is quite a squishy deck so make sure to play a bit safe.
• It takes 15 kills to get a heavy shot back.
