Players have access to a wide variety of weapons, powers, and trinkets that give special bonuses in Deathloop. It has a big focus on customizing Colt to fit a particular playstyle, and every player will follow a different path as they try to assassinate all 8 targets. As there are a lot of different pieces of gear available in the game, the developers at Arkane Studios have decided to share some of their favorite weapons and powers.

In a post on the official Bethesda website, Arkane Studios has recommended 3 unique loadouts for Deathloop. The first suggestion, called The Shadow, comes from Animator Victor Syllos, who mentions that using the PT-6 “Spiker” with the Echolocation perk will allow players to silently take down their enemies. On the other side of the spectrum is the Raging Bull, and Syllos suggests that players should dual-wield LIMP-10 with the Vampire perk in order to constantly heal themselves.
The final build comes from Game Director Dinga Bakaba, who recommends going for a tech-focused playthrough, complete with long-distance hacking and movable turrets. The post also mentions that for the next few weeks, the teams at Arkane Lyon and Bethesda will be featuring new loadouts for players to try out.
Offering unique builds that are all supposedly viable is an engrossing way of interacting with the Deathloop community. This may encourage users to keep coming back to the game even after they have beaten it. As players try to complete and master each area of Deathloop, it will be interesting to compare their builds with the ones recommended by the development team.
Unfortunately, consumers that have purchased the PC version may want to wait before they try out these loadouts. Users even on high-end PCs have reported various issues with the game, with stuttering being the most prevalent. Arkane Studios has since clarified that it is investigating the issues that are plaguing the release of the PC version of Deathloop and fans can hope to get an update on this in the near future.
The loadouts as recommend by Arkane Studios are as follows:
