Can you Beat Payday 2 as the Engineer?

[@TheKknowley]

Happy New Year! Please check out the new channel if you enjoyed this video. I've just uploaded my live stream with Mio, Payday 3's new Game Director from earlier this month and will be working on more challenge-run content there, shortly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGGlc6mmatirnck

Still cannot believe Paul is gone. I was very happy he posted at his community page. Granted that was a year ago. I was so hoping he was doing better with his alcoholism and I am so devastated he lost the fight at the end. Alcoholism is no joke. My own grandfather had two strokes because of it and he was only able to fight it after the second one.

At this point challenge runs for payday 3 are a lil boring. Payday 2 just inherently gives you far more options to work with and you have more maps to go through.

Im glad you said something about paul, this is the first i heard of this, i always go to his youtube hoping for a new video. Watched him for over 5 years, crazy to hear he is gone.

[@SnivyTries]

Can we talk about the fact that you managed to work SO MANY of Engineer's achievement names into your script in ways that don't come across as crowbarred in? Is The Kknowley secretly a huge TF2 fan to know so many of them, or did he just browse the steam achievements list for content? XD

[@ciphergacha9100]

You don’t make 6 videos about TF2 in a game that has nothing to do with TF2 without being a fan of TF2

[@MesouseUsagi]

most of them are fairly (?) common phrases, and the ones that aren't have been parroted to an autistic degree by the TF2 fanbase for the last 10 years so it would be almost impossible to not pick up quite a few of them

I am surprise by how many people Mitten Squad managed to influence with his channel and challenges. It was after I started watching his channel that I tried my first challenges for fun by myself. Now I do it as a sad salute to him. 🥲 rest in peace, legend.

Well, while having dinner browsing youtube, I came across this video and well, I was not expecting the first thing I'd hear was that we've lost one of the best youtubers I've ever seen. I watched him for years, and hearing that he's passed, especially this recent, is really devastating. Farewell Paul of Mitten Squad, you were amazing.

[@perihelion1225]

I loved and still love Mitten Squad’s content. Can’t believe he’s gone. R.I.P. to an absolute legend.

[@rtxplumzz_24]

Paul will never be forgotten, instead he will be remembered for his challenge videos

[@timothyfraeyman8667]

Paul of Mitten Squad is truly a great inspiration to many people, but i feel he isn’t truly gone. Seeing how many KZbinrs are doing challenge runs it constantly reminds me how he popularized the genre. In my eyes he is a legend and legends never truly die. I miss you and may your soul rest in peace Paul. (On a side note 39:37 on the card that says how many failed attempts it took, there is a spelling mistake. Just wanted you to know.)

[@getgood9244]

Mitten squad passing is something that I don’t think I will ever forget for the rest of my life he was such an amazing person and content creator and we lost him much to early

As an engie main and someone who enjoys your challenge runs a ton, very happy to see this one come out.

[@Wow1w]

for the marking Specials for a sentry's improved damage, one potential option was to ace the High value target skill, which allows you to mark them by aiming down sights, though that's abit of a skill point investment..

I feel like you should include Silk Road, City of Gold, and Texas Heat in your next challenge. You've already written out when you think they take place, so why not include them as part of the story?

[@Pinkanator]

I still feel like I want to see a "Canon only" run, in which 4 players are ONLY allowed to use perks, weapons and decks the characters canonically in that heist used, so for the 3 dlc sagas, only using those dlc characters with their signature weapons and decks.

[@AnnaJam]

I had two ideas for Future payday 2 challenge runs, If you're still looking for them The first is "The Victory Lap", Given Payday 3's release I don't think it's unreasonable to say that you're gonna be moving onto Payday 3 more than 2, so, one final challenge run which requires Completeltion of *all* heists using the Timeline set out in the Story of Payday Series (Not 100% on how you'd do the level scaling and stuff, but I'm tired), as for anny weapon restrictions I was gonna say you can only use one build, like, if you start with An anarchist-Crit build you gotta go through the rest of the run with *just* that build, no changing weapons or annything, this would mean you'd have to choose your skills and stuff beforehand and it might get a little boring near the end, but I'm sure you'll figure something out to spice it up a little, or come up with something completely different, maybie use a different build every heist just to really push that "Victory lap" idea? Idk, but, if you really want to make it fun, you could work in Overdrill or even Secret Completion aswell, though as to how that'd work in this format I have no idea Second idea was "The worst of the Worst", You gotta use the worst perkdeck, the worst skills, the worst guns, the worst melle, the worst crew, you get the idea, Allso, if you really want to suffer, you could play through the worst heists aswell, maybie using the RNG mod or by doing Goat Sim instead of Santa's workshop, or both. How you decide what's the worst is up to you, you'll undoubtedly know more about it than I Both of these ideas are really rougth but, they came to my head a few months ago and I've not been able to forget about them, so I figured I'd mention, honestly, I'd be supprised if annyone even sees this comment but if you do, leave me some feedback because regardless of how rougth they are, I'd like to challenge a few people I know personally to this Sorry for the wall of text, if I had more time, I'd have written a shorter message. But, probably not - Anna

Out of all videos I did not think Mitton squad would pop up in a payday 2 as a Texan but I miss him and as you said he is a pioneer of a genre on youtube that you personally contribute to and many other contribute to I'm going to list some people who do follow in Mitton squads footsteps of doing can you Challenges Obviously you as you said in the intro of the video you are inspired by Mitten squad another one who was inspired by Mitten squad was Dante Ravioli he mainly does can you be Challenges resident evil and games like resident evil He is funny amazing and he does can you beat challenges Another one is senza He switches between the genres of borderlands fallout in the elder scrolls games In the last one I will talk about today is nurbit nerbit he is a amazing KZbinr he sticks with the genre that Mitten squad did which is the elder scrolls and fallout well occasionally going on to other games like the 5 hour craziness that was can you beat the entirety of metal gear solid before the old dies And obviously there is many many more that he inspired and I miss him he was generally one of my favorite damn youtube of all time right next to a lot of HOI4 KZbinrs and a lot of other miscellaneous fallout KZbinrs Mitten squad also inspired me to play more fallout games and play more elder scrolls rings and basically my favorite KZbinrs you included have some way shaped me in my humor in my video games I play and my personality in general One of the things that we can take away from mittens squad is one open the cheese jar in 10 years and two no matter what happens to you you will always have a impact on someone you can forge a genre on youtube on accident even like I always say don't remember how they died remember how they lived and how they impacted communites

Challenge recommendation: Reasonable: Can you beat Payday 2 but you're on the Suicide Squad (basically a speedrun challenge, but each time you lose a certain amount of time, you die and have to restart the mission from the beginning. The time needed to complete mainly depends on the mission. Hell: Can SAXTON HALE beat Payday 2's Death Sentence Mode? Three main requirements: -You start on your main account, so you have access to everything you need, including perks and skills -must complete most heists in Loud -You may only use your fists as your weapon, because guns are for wimps when compared to the gigachad's punches -Non lethal throwables are allowed The most important rule of all: You must not wear a shirt, regardless of if that's an option through mods or not.

It'll never not baffle me that he doesnt like the Biker Heist. Personally, I love it.

So, 6 tf2 themed challenge runs down, 3 to go. I also have a sugested one. Scout: scout is an annyoing boston boy with a nasty attitude but a weak frame. Lucky for him, hes an speedy little goober. He only uses lever action shotguns, pistols and bats. Also a dodge build is forced here. NO ARMOR ALLOWED! Soldier: Our favorite idiotic pychopath, he went to germny to kill people. Tf2 rocket launcher required. Medic: the teams resident doctor and mad scientist. Since medic is a suport class who doesnt usally fight. Be a pasifist (outside of lifelines) with the crew ai but they can only use tf2 thematic weapons. If rulebreaker is used, the medic can only use the airbow, crossbow and medical tools. Try modfing in the medi gun and stealth no mercy as far as it can go. (He is a doctor without a medical licence) Meet the team: finaly is a multiplayer change run. Each teammate follows the rules if all the prevous tf2 challege run, but ppayers can only play one class each. 1st player hittkng level 80 spokes the difficulty to Eath Sentice (optionally ODDS If your team is feeling brave). Instead of crew support, a new lifeline appears: "Clown Car". Install big lobbies mod and allow upto 9 people in this heist with same changerun rules. This automatically turns on ONE DOWN.
