GHOST
Spending the first point in the Ghost skill tree unlocks the ability to use electronic countermeasure equipment, also known as the ECM jammer. When used, the ECM jammer can temporarily cancel out eletronic devices such as cell phones and cameras.
TOP SKILLS
Ghost is a FANTASTIC tree of support skills. But they are that. Support. The main chunk of everyday every job skills will come from the other three.
Dead Presidents – Money is so much rarer than XP. You will find yourself with skill points and no money to actually use them. The bonus money also counts towards requirements for jobs like Four Stores. A MUST.
Lock Picking Expert – This allows you to lockpick safes. Much faster than drilling and is a high help if you want to stay silent so Shaped Charges are out.
Lucky Charm – About the only tier 6 skill I am excited about in any tree. All Mods and Mask parts are completely random. In over 30+ jobs i have only ever gotten 2 different masks. To get better items easier is absurd.
Cleaner – The ACE version allows you to bag and move bodies. This is an insane help if playing solo to get bodies out of the way so you don’t have to worry about them getting seen. Big help to teams also of course.
I haven’t done a lot of ECM jammers as their timing is short and it’s usually easier to just eliminate the security officer and any guards in the area and then you can just shoot or melee them.
