Can You Beat Payday 2 As The Sniper?

[@AngelOfDC]

Scout Build: Primary: Lever Action Shotgun (Probably the Biker Pack 1887) Secondary: Walther PPK Pistol Melee: Lucille Build: Anything that helps with dodge and speed Armor: Two Piece Suit or just Ballistic Vest And obviously you could mod the weapons from TF2 or use regular guns! Oh,and no stealth,Scout is all about the ego and boisterousness

[@MostAverage]

Armor could be a plausible lifeline in that run. "Fat Scout Life-Line"

[@hellothereworld4401]

@@MostAverage actually a fat scout lifeline would be a really good addition, maybe allowing him to use part of the build he used for the heavy run as well as armor.

[@AngelOfDC]

Without the mod weapon part this sounds good.

[@benryder1213]

Nah he'd be forced to use yakuza to make him fast like the scout

[@collinwise724]

My guess for the jarate glitch is the cop being unloaded on mission complete and the game possibly trying to remove the jarate effect from a nonexistent entity, leading to a nullpointer exception and crash

[@IsJawsh]

Heisting's a good job mate. Challenging work, outta doors, I guarantee you won't go broke. Because at the end of the day, so long as there's a bank left on the planet, someone's gonna wanna rob it. Love these TF2 loudouts and I hope you finished off all nine together. Possibly before Payday 3, unless you want to try it in Payday 3 once it comes out.

[@manboy4720]

Something funny I realized is that the graze ability actually makes sense in this because in MvM sniper has an ability called explosive headshots that basically does the same thing.

Possible future challenge run idea: Beat Payday 2 as Tanya Adams (Allied Commando from C&C Red Alert) - Akimbo Pistols only. (preferably high power ones like the Baby Deagle or Parabellum) - Revolvers and Full-auto pistols are prohibited - No melee other than weapon butt - Mines/Charges for equipment - Any objective that can be blown up with charges has to be (unless you run out) - Only explosives for grenade slot (or some consumable that can work in place for her Time Belt she has in RA3) - Stealth only when mandatory - Bomb Forest is to be done since blowing up a train is right up Tanya's alley. - If Rulebreaker is needed, assault rifles are allowed (She has a laser rifle in the Mental Omega mod, so that's why)

[@Wow1w]

21:12 i think the intended method was to use the Unlocked scope from the "Zipline kills" achievement, which included a "rangefinder" at the the top of it to determine enemies that were within the distance needed for those achievements

Now, sir, look back on thyn comment a year later. How does this make you feel?

[@TheVoidMachineSystem]

18:00 The 76% ambush chance from going day 1 loud only occurs if it takes more than 30 seconds AFTER the alarms go off to make the escape, so you still more than likely had the very low chance of ambush.

[@weirdtyrant6274]

Fun fact: For a while I thought that cricket was just another name for croquet. Also, you should do a "heisting as the Founding Fathers intended" challenge were you have to use the musket.

[@ciphergacha9100]

The musket won’t exist again for another year, outside of the bring back bessy mod

[@filmandfirearms]

I wish they did a 18th-19th century weapons pack, as an in between for the western and medieval packs. Lots of weird prototype and low production guns that could be a ton of fun to play around with. The Pauly 1812 shotgun and Hall rifle, for example. I've always been a huge fan of single shot rifles, I'm always the guy in Hunt attempting to land cross map headshots with the Sharps, and never hitting a single one. For Payday, the Hall could be a great dozer killer to pair with a more versatile sidearm. There were also the dozens of Lorenzoni pattern repeaters. If you wanted to go a little further in time, you could also have the Spencer rifle, though that's getting dangerously close to western

[@Xx0bamaGamingxX]

Next time you should try to do a medic build: -most kills must be made by teammates or bots; -Protect your team at all cost; -small crossbow secondary as only weapon; -could be a mix of melee/combat medic build. I think that being a team focused challenge would be great, since it would be extremely different from the other ones

[@scootaloo9491]

Eh.. Probably way too similar to the Pokémon challenge.

[@Xx0bamaGamingxX]

@scootaloo9491 yeah you're probably right ... 😔

[@MostAverage]

I love the TF2 playthroughs. I loved TF2 for many years but made the recent decision to quit, but that wont stop me from enjoying these amazing challenge runs.

[@funnyname8004]

Gordon freeman from half life 1-2 build: Primary: the predator 12G shotgun (aka the spas 12) or scarface's little friend (it's his main weapon in the first game) Secondary: Bronco.44 revolver, the signature 40 pistol with the metal slide and a compensator or a non silenced mp5 Melee: gordon's crowbar, which is the reskinned ice pick Build: armorer/anarchist due to how important the protection the HEV suit grants It'd be nice if you used the Legendary armor skins mod to use the HEV as your suit in game and used the reservoir dogs glasses as your mask Stealth is an option due to the amount of sneaking and stealth mechanics there are in HL1-2, but it should be primarily loud

[@AlexDoubleAU]

I can confirm that the AI is becoming self-aware Just today I had a Marshal shield shove his shield through my gun to stop me from shooting out his light I also got thrown around so much that I thought Overkill had a secret collab with Ultrakill to add Minos Prime

[@adumbfurry7036]

Idea as the medic: use some mods to give you access to the syringe gun and medigun, but call in your previous challenge run characters to be your crew AI and give them loadouts that you used during those runs. A few extra rules to make it harder: you must have all your allies in tow when you finish a heist. Lifelines will be drop difficulty, power grind, and rule breaker: the rule break should be you are allowed to leave a single ally behind.

[@adumbfurry7036]

This might be similar to the jokermon run but it does seem fun.

[@devlintaylor9520]

I think even a playthrough of an entire dlcs loadout would be interesting to watch. Scarface would be interesting because of the weakish primary but the very good perk deck

[@Bread_Gator]

18:00 An interesting fact about the day2 ambush is that on day1 if you get out between 0-25s after the alarm rings then there is a 0% chance of the ambush happening. 25-50sec after alarm is a 25% chance and 50sec+ after alarm is a 75% chance. This is from a 2yr old Marcmb video and I am pretty sure it is up to date but basically it means you can easily ecm rush it with hacker even as a solo without having a chance of the day2 ambush since you get an extra 25sec on top of the usual ecm and pcms.

[@TheKknowley]

Huh, I thought it was way more binary than that! Thanks for the info! Still learning haha

[@spengler2258]

I can only think of a few types of KZbin video that actually get me excited to immediately watch the full thing as soon as I can- a Knowley Payday 2 challenge run, especially a TF2 one, is one of them. Absolutely love these and I can't wait to see how Payday 3 is tackled.

21:57 I was about to say that the sniper wouldn’t use a big saw as a weapon, but I remembered that in the comics Ms Pauling actually referred one for loosening up dirt.

2:28 subbed for the clear reasonable ruleset, with a limit to rule bending/breaking instead of just "surprise, i am stuck therefore rule break".

[@patitochico2]

Nice video. If you're thinking on continuing the series, I think you could add the rule of "must use the critical hit skill" to simulate the random crit mechanic of tf2

[@flamedramon68]

I really want to see the end of the "TF2 Mercs" challenges with the Secret. Maybe have 4 players as the different "classes" (or use the big lobby mod for all 9) and do the Secret. That'd be an awesome finale

[@revocz722]

Hello Kknowley, recently i got idea on challenge, and I think it's good. It consist of : play as Wild West gunslinger, only allowed perk deck is rogue (I know it isn't exactly the Best perk deck, but it is still called challenge am I right?), only throwable allowed is dynamite, and only weapons allowed are from butcher western pack: I think it would be a great challenge, because you could use bow for stealth and Winchester and Colt for loud. Also great video, thank you for time you invest in it.

[@PANGPOWER]

The Jarate crash is probably caused by something similar like the poison gas affecting cops would crash the game on heist end or just randomly

[@eyeblech2001]

36:20 "Dreaded biker heist day 1 voted as the worst heist by the great council of...me"

[@PizzaHeister]

Fun fact: On framing frame, the chance of getting the ambush is the same between finishing in stealth, and leaving with the alarm UNTIL more than 50 seconds have passed. So, by all accounts, the ambush wasn't going to happen on FF D2 - probably, atleast.

[@694a]

[@MiguelHernandez-lo5lg]

As an Ex-President main I do approve of its use for this challenge run. And just like you said, your accuracy determines how fun it is. If tou cant hit the broad side of the barn you will get destroyed, but if all your shots land; youll feel borderline invincible.

[@AmaraTheBarbarian]

This playstyle looks familiar, I got my deathwish skull with a sniper SMG build using rogue as the deck. At the time the mosin nagant was the only rifle you could get down to 23 detection risk with the black stock, irons, and short barrel. The blaster 9 was my SMG of choice at the time, and molotovs to give me some light area denial when I needed breathing room. Though there are more snipers you can hit that concealment threshold now than there were at the time and the TF2 themed sniper build I have uses the compact 5 and the amaroq.

[@llama9359]

Love these videos man, so happy you are still putting effort into PD2. Awesome work!

[@eyeblech2001]

Sniper after finding the price's for crocodile hats and teeth necklaces

[@HexonDevelopment]

Challenge run suggestion (for after remaining tf2 mercs): Can only play as core 5 heisters. (Dallas, Chains, Wolf, Hoxton, Houston) If playing as Dallas you can only use the crew chief perk deck and skills from the mastermind tree, Chains = muscle & enforcer skills, etc... You can only use weapons matching to your skills. (Dallas = snipers, Chains = shotguns, wolf = SMGs/ARs/LMGs, houston = anything supressed, hoxton = pistols/melee) You can only use deployables matching to your skills. (Dallas = medic bags & faks, Chains = ammor bags, Wolf = sentrys, houston = body bags & ecms, hoxton = none?) You can freely switch between these 5 builds throughout the run as long as all 5 stick to the rules stated above Maybe remove the weapon & deployable rules as it might be too hard but definitely keep the perk deck & skill restrictions... and also the heister restrictions to kill morale. I feel as though this can be a proper challenge for you because so much of a heisters strength in Payday 2 comes from a good build, and a good build requires a good perk deck and skills from all trees, which you don't have.

[@andrehashimoto8056]

tbh, this challenge could have been made a bit more in character: Snipers, no Bullpups (Since TF2 has no vanilla model of such weapon) as well, your choices could be limited to: Stock equivalent: Any R700 style bolt action. Sydney Sleeper: the M40 with the ammo thingy on the stock; Machina: Thanatos, but you can ONLY FIRE if SCOPED IN. Bazaar Bargain: Mosin-Nagant, with either a simple zoom scope or base iron-sights. The Classic: a PSG-1 (Since there's no G36 as a Sniper weapon nor a kit to mod one into a sniper esque SL-8) for SMGs: Stock: Compact-5 Cleaners carabine: either a compact 5 w/ silencer or an MPX with folded/no stock and a silencer. Melee: Machetes, of course.

How about doing a Pyro Build? Using the Flamethrower MK.1 (or MA 17), either the Locomotive, the Claire (both using DB/Buckshot) or Compact 40mm (using Incendiary nades) (or both interchangeably), with the throwables being Incendiaries/Molotovs and the Fire Axe Melee. Build only restricts the Engineer, Sharpshooter, Shinobi, and Artful Dodgers skill trees (BTW, Tripmines are fair game if they have Fire Trap on them), and as for skill sets, no restrictions on that.
