Allesso heist flip flops between my top 10 best and my top 10 worst. I love the design, astetic and unique objectives. And in loud snipers are... you know... snipers. Far enough away so weapons with low accuracy have a hard time reaching them. Small detail, but I love it. However, I hate Alesso being the focus, cuz its basically a paid advertisement at time of release, and the fact doing the heist in loud makes no sense as who cares about masking the c4 when they know we are here, and why tf has the concert not been evacuated despite a firefight claiming countless lives taking place right next door. Also, if they where going to make a heist about Alesso, why doesnt he have a custom model? All my gripes with this heist are in a Jamesblack47 reveiw from years ago, he does a great job picking them apart,

Imo alesso plays the first 10, because it is huge and fully detailed. While the map is huge, i think remaining things are the cons of map being huge.

And also i agree with the con you are talking about , I remember Bain says "police hadn't alerted the crowd for not much more heat" or something like that

Alesso is mid-tier for me. The stealth is one of my favorites due to it being complex and ingenious with the pyrotecnics, the cutters and the unmasking to leave. Loud, however, is nonsensical due to you having the same objectives despite the police swarm. Just make the heist stealth only ffs...

On reservoir dogs, day 2 happening first is a nod to Tarantino who often tells stories out of chronological order. This is most famous from Pulp Fiction which tells separate stories out of order but is used to a lesser degree in a lot of Tarantino movies. I also find it interesting that if the player kills too many civilians Bain will sometimes refer to the player as 'Mr. Blonde' insultingly, referencing how needlessly psychopathic and cruel the character is, only to have us willingly work with him in this heist. He's exactly the type of person Bain wouldn't want to work with, but hey, we got a cool heist out of it, so whatever.

Doing the Golden Grin Casino heist in Payday 2 always made me feel like we're in Oceans 11 or Oceans 13. It's one of the longer heists, but it pays off and it's kind of like of like the movies. Especially stealth provides a great feeling when doing this. Also, Big Bank provides that classic bank robber vibe you expect from a bank robbing game. Many ways to do it, both stealth and loud can be satisfying. Carrying the gold bags not so much though.

[@z3r0_35]

My two cents on some of these heists: Border Crossing: I personally kinda like it, I just hate the sniper sightlines and the bit with the pump if the heist goes loud. ---- Transports: I actually hate Crossroads more than Park. Again, it's the snipers that ruin this one for me. I never have as much trouble with them on the other versions, even Park, which you'd think would be the one where snipers become a problem because of all the open space, but nope. ---- Four Stores: Honestly I'd like to see more heists that use Four Stores' concept, just on a larger scale with more loot. Shaking down a bunch of shops is a neat concept, and I'd heard an idea before of reusing the map from day one of Goat Simulator for it...to which I say "sure, just tone down the goddamned snipers and add some actual cover". ---- Ukrainian Job: The only reason this heist is worth doing is for farming Gage drops and cards. ---- Goat Simulator: As mentioned before, the first day could be recycled into another heist pretty easily if they just toned down the snipers and added some proper fucking cover besides parked cars. Fuck day two though, it has no redeeming qualities. Oh, and both days can be rendered unwinnable if the FUBAR driving mechanics fuck up the Longfellow so you can't get it into the trailer at the end. ---- Bomb: Dockyard: Man, FUCK this heist in solo stealth. It's bullshit. ---- White XMas: The only thing that makes this worth it are all the ziplines for getting certain achievements, especially if you want a Theia scope for your sniper rifles. That and it's a pretty quick heist so it's pretty easy to do in Crime Spree provided you get lucky with the helicopter spawns. ---- Lab Rats: Fuck Lab Rats. If you're playing solo and you get downed even ONCE (and you will), you may as well reset because their pathfinding is so bad that they'll never get to you in time. ---- Aftershock: Honestly I'd like the safes to occasionally use the skins of newer ones...even though the joke is kinda redundant now because Overkill completely nuked safes in the last update and just made skins drop directly. ---- Breaking Feds: This heist just doesn't make any sense. Not only does it combine some of the worst features of other stealth heists with obnoxious camera placement and overlapping guard patrols that can lead to one mistake quickly snowballing out of control, but Overkill had the audacity of locking the game's good ending behind a stealth-only heist. Oh, and one of the random escapes you can get COMPLETELY DEFEATS THE POINT OF DOING THIS STEALTHILY ANYWAY, which was to avoid alerting Commissioner Garret. I'm convinced that this was meant to be a stealth-optional heist that had the stealth-mandatory aspect tacked on as an afterthought because the stealth purists were bitching that they hadn't gotten a new stealth heist in a while. ---- Henry's Rock: Same problem as a lot of the newer loud heists: NO. FUCKING. COVER. ---- Prison Nightmare: This is the only Halloween heist I'll actually play other than for the achievements (or masks in the case of Cursed Kill Room). ---- Art Gallery: Mostly agreed with this assessment. It's a good heist for practicing your stealth skills, particularly if you're trying to avoid having to kill guards, but the pitiful payout means this isn't something I would recommend doing habitually. ---- Brooklyn 10-10: This is one of those heists that became a lot less fun after the Sniper Update went live and ramped up the spawn cap considerably, especially in the second building. ---- Biker Heist: Overkill REALLY needs to fix the motorcycles. They have the same goddamned hitbox as the FORKLIFTS from Meltdown ffs! Day Two is another one of those heists where going down even once in solo play can mean a reset because the AI heisters' pathfinding can bug out, causing them to sit at the back of the train while you're getting gangbanged by cloakers. ---- Mallcrasher: This is my go-to heist for testing loadouts, since it has plenty of cover as well as different places to engage enemies at short and long range, and it's pretty quick. Shame the payout's so bad. It's also technically possible to stealth it, but you don't get a bonus for doing so. ---- Brooklyn Bank: RNG can make this heist a royal pain in the ass sometimes, especially if components for the winch get tossed out into the street where you have to deal with snipers, to say nothing about what happens if you get the van escape, which means having to deal with a SWAT van if you want to take any of the considerable amount of loot with you. ---- Shacklethorne Auction: Trying to get all the loot on this heist in loud is a royal pain in the ass, especially solo. Good luck getting everything bagged so the cops can't break it, then babysitting several dozen bags until Bile gets his ass over to the mansion. ---- Car Shop: This heist SHOULD have been stealth-optional, and data mining shows that it probably WAS supposed to be stealth-optional, but it isn't (and it's not even a true stealth heist, it's a loud heist with a timer, with the timer starting as soon as your cover is blown). Also, the guards like to bunch up and overlap their patrol routes, which can lead to a cascading failure that results in a restart. ---- No Mercy: If you don't think the spawn rates post-Sniper Update are ridiculous, play this heist in loud, especially solo, and see how many cops you've killed at the end. 600-kill games are the NORM in this heist, but it can be cathartic as hell to set up an LMG or minigun at the end of a hallway and just go to town. ---- Election Day: Honestly I wish they'd bring back Plan C's map for a standalone heist and do something different with it. ---- Alesso Heist: You will HATE the eponymous DJ after having to listen to that same tune for 20-30 minutes straight, with no way to turn it off without muting all sound effects because...reasons? Also, the payout's shit, not worth it. ---- San Martin Bank: I REALLY wish Overkill would have something besides loose cash spawn in the deposit boxes so you have a reason to open them other than to get the achievement. Even just a handful of cash bundles would be better than nothing. ---- Counterfeit: Don't do this solo in loud, the AI is worthless for babysitting the various points where the cops can interrupt you. Also, stealth it while you can, don't be surprised if the glitch gets patched before the end of the year. ---- Panic Room: THIS heist was totally ruined by the spawn cap increase with the Sniper Rifle Update. Good god is it a chore to clear the roof now.

Wow, nice mate

[@z3r0_35]

@@b33croft I've considered implementing some of the ideas I've just brought up as modded heists, but I'm pretty sure other people are already working on it, and even if they aren't, I don't have the time to figure out how to make a custom heist (that and I'm not the best coder in the world - the artistic side of game development is more my forte). I did forget to bring up the one selling point of Car Shop though, one that I'm sure a lot of clouddasher's subs can agree with: it can be amusing to watch all the different ways that the noobs can fuck it up. I only needed two attempts (three if you count one time when the game crashed about 20 seconds into the heist, which I personally didn't count) to get it right myself and the first time only failed because of the aforementioned issue with the guards bunching up randomly after a corpse fell in a really awkward (and physics-defying) position that caused his head to stick out into a hallway...though admittedly the reason it probably only took me two attempts was because I'd waited till I was really confident in my mastery of the game's stealth mechanics before attempting it.

Nice list and altho i get the general thought behind them for me its: Loud: 1. Meltdown (the chaos at the end is what makes this heist fun for me, this is a heist where teamplay comes forward and that's what makes this fun to me, altho I get the dislikes it get from people) 2. Brooklyn 10/10 3. Day 2 of the biker heist(Shooting cops on a moving train, what's more awesome than this?) 4. Green Bridge 5. Heat street Honorable mentions: Scarface Mansion, Beneath the Mountain, Birth of Sky, Reservoir Dogs, Bomb Dockyard(altho the pc hack is kek) The main idea I have behind this is that I love the heists where u have to move places and work as a team rather than sit in one location and it becoming borderline boring. These heists, like u said, will be more memorable aswell since they often have tons of shit going on. Stealth: Yacht and Murkey fo sho!

The 2 days being reversed makes sense in reservoir dogs because the film takes place after a heist so that's the starting point. Therefore the day 2 part will be the heist which is "day 1" of the chronology of events

[@vimywaifu7745]

I love the fact that i almost have all achievements of Big Bank cause of minimal mistakes like, starting going loud after getting 4 bags, and yet escape on 1 down dw, and in less than 13 30 and all loot, because of mistakes. Beyond from that my fav its Hotline Miami cause of the amount of money you can get if youre fast, nice builded and cooked the entire meth, you literally win the same amount of money than scarface mansion and probably big bank. And first world, when i did overdrill 1 time, and complete it, i aint get the achivement probably cause i enter after they already started the heist, but it was amazing knowing i won 45M in no time.

When I first started going for my complete all heists on X difficulty or higher trophies, I had almost gotten the one for hard, then I realized I had to do lab rats.

Favorite heist definitely Hotline Miami. Both days are very fun. Day 1, making meth, interesting objectives, nice little variation with the basement map. Day 2, rushing through the building to get to the coke faster to one of my favorite soundtracks in payday. The atmosphere especially in day 2 really does feel like Hotline Miami, something I love greatly as a Hotline Miami fan. I like the map design too though snipers can get real annoying on Day 1. Payout is also quite rewarding if secure a bunch of bags. Very fun, amazing music as always, nice payout, really feels connected to Hotline Miami. This heist is boss.

Ode to Greed (Big Bank) is the best soundtrack in the game IMO (loud)

[@someguy2417]

my absolute favourite heist is the first world bank i guess its mainly because it always is different, no matter what you do theres always something else. example: the PC you need to hack in stealth can be either on the left or right side, the bank can be either left or right. in loud on higher difficulties theres a turret that chrashes into the door, and i vividly remember being so scared and exited that day and thats why i love it

[@Jade_Matthews]

Reading everyone's lists kinda makes me realize how shit I am at this game, lol. I have a lot of fun with loud missions and my attention span is way too low for stealth so missions like Shadow Raid are definitely not high up for me. My top 3 are probably: 3.) Panic Room 2.) First World 1.) Hotline Miami and my bottom 3 are probably: 3.) Yacht Heist 2.) Meltdown 1.) Breakin' Feds (not counting the obvious ones like Bomb: Forest or Cursed Kill Room). I cannot express how much I fuckin hate Breakin' Feds, it is the most boring, frustrating, poorly made level in any game I've ever played. I'd rather eat an entire plate of my left nuts than attempt it again.

Yacht heist is your 3rd worst heist? I respect your opinion, but holy shit what? It's one of the most relaxing heists, and easiest stealth only.

[@ryuranzou]

Hoxton breakout is my favorite, because I don't do stealth unless I'm solo just because it always seems to lag badly on the detection for everyone except the host and all my friends play loud. Framing frame would probably be my favorite to stealth though if I had to choose even though I spent a few hours on it with a bunch of randoms on day 3. People would join and quit every attempt or two. Hoxton breakout is just such a well done level for day 2 especially. I love that every build could bring something to the table even though it was loud. Shaped charges could blow up bridges, ECM could open doors. I loved that you could choose what you wanted with the keycards, whether it was ammo or health, or to open up new areas to defend from. I usually just used them to beat the level quicker, but it was just so well done.

[@b33croft]

Yea I love Hoxton breakout

[@Skyfox94]

Having basically stopped playing this game after the first couple of months I have to say: Wow. It's kinda crazy how many different heists they added to this game but it's soooo weird. It seems so over the top in many places and - as mentioned in the video - so min-maxi at times. After I stopped playing I only came back once since a friend asked me to come play with him. I remember playing the car heist and some others - but since I "wasn't skilled right" I couldn't play any of those, so all I was allowed to do was sit back and watch, that kinda ruined the game for me. I enjoyed the original concept - pretty much in the same way I enjoyed the early GTA V heists. It was fun, everybody was figuring things out and people were in for the fun of it, playing it mostly like the developers had probably intended, but after a while people got all min-maxi, grinding out heists for more and more money, optimizing routes and tactics. Sure, improving is fun and all but really what made these games and their heists fun for me was the experience. It wasn't about getting the most points in the shortest time but rather the whole package, role play as a robber with your friends, have some fun together.

[@b33croft]
