Can You Beat Payday 2 As The Spy?

[@DekFocs]

Vanilla mod pack actually fixes the unsupressed revolver problem. It adds a pistol suppressor (IIRC it’s called the Low Profile Compensator) which actually is able to be equipped on the Bronco. Obviously I’m late on this, but still. It’s a mod pack I’d genuinely recommend. It’s balanced super well, and while a few things seem a bit extreme at first, they have heavy downsides to even it out. Plus it comes with some new weapons. (No revolvers though, unfortunately.) Edit: the convert swapping is indeed a Vhud plus thing. It’s so nice to have, honestly.

[@gamingdamien1204]

It was a glitch its patched now

[@DekFocs]

@@gamingdamien1204 What was a glitch, the suppressor thing? I haven't used the bronco in a while now, so I don't really know. I'll have to check later. Either way, I don't know why they'd remove it. It seemed alright to me.

[@HexagonThatReallyLikesVinegar]

@@deathbringer9893 well, you can... but it doesn't really do much.

[@theminnesotan592]

6:23 It's not that they cant be suppressed just that it is a real pain to do so because of the gap between the front of the cylinder and the rear of the barrel. You would kind of have to design the entire weapon around covering or bridging this gap.

[@МаксимМихайлов-и8ч]

The Nagant revolver is one of not many revolvers, that can use a suppressor.

[@ManicObsevations]

is it that they don't work to their fullest or that they don't function properly on revolvers

[@theminnesotan592]

@@ManicObsevations More that they don't work to the fullest as the gap allows much of the initial of the bang of the primer and powder load detonating to be heard even with a suppressor attached. The Nagant revolvers get around this by having the rear of the barrel flared open and the mouth of the cylinder holes made so that they can fit into it making a decent seal. At the moment of firing a mechanism moves the cylinder forward to accomplish this and moves it back after firing. Though working with a suppressor wasn't the reason that this mechanism was added. Surprisingly, it was originally added to get more power out of a cartridge by preventing the loss of force as a result of the aforementioned gap.

Making Payday 2 builds around TF2 classes is actually a LOT of fun I’ve realized recently

[@Sin_Alder]

When I first played the game (about 9 months ago), I ended up finding myself doing it pretty quickly. Not even a big TF2 fan (I like it well enough, but don't play often), but some of them just came together so naturally. My preferred way to play can more or less be summed up with this. "I am heavy weapons guy."

[@JayHog1992]

Sometimes when you have this creativity, trying to roleplay other people's gear, not just TF2, can make it a more enjoyable experience and also challenging since you're limiting yourself to the limitations of the character. I do this on Project Zomboid as well.

[@9895_]

​@@Sin_AlderI don't care if this build might not work on ds, I WILL walk into Diamond Heist with ictv and a minigun

[@P8nda]

One thing to note on the No Mercy stealth: There will ALWAYS be one doctor in the back room that runs directly for the alarm button (even if not alerted) ~10 seconds after you mask up, regardless of player count or difficulty (as long as the difficulty is high enough for the back rooms to have civs in them). And then around ~30 seconds after you mask up another one runs directly to the alarm button. It wouldn't be all that hard to counter once you figured it out, but the very annoying thing is once the crouching animation plays for the civ its impossible to alert him in order to be able to get him to stop. It's honestly a little BS in my opinion, and it makes the heist really hard to stealth when playing solo.

[@TheKknowley]

Huge info, thanks so much! Still learning new things about this damn game every day...

[@Ulqui_210]

Honestly the only reliable way I could "Stealth" it solo was to rev up a saw in one of the rooms further away from the quarantine area so that it'll be far enough for the guards in it to not be alerted by the noise while affecting most if not all of the civvies that could pop the alarm.

[@P8nda]

@@Ulqui_210 That strategy works, but you lose out on your primary (or secondary if you can spare some skill points) for a weapon that sucks without ammo bags and some key skills

[@Ulqui_210]

@@P8nda Exactly. Which considering Kknowley often does these challenges without bots to back him up, it is going to be hell to do. Especially if you make the mistake of tagging the wrong room which means more time spent on the heist.

[@Slender1870]

@@Ulqui_210 Actually, you don't even need the saw. If you fire an unsuppressed in the corner of the room furthest from the ICU all the civs in the starting area will hear it, but not in the ICU. I used this strategy to beat no mercy on DSOD I think because it allowed me to just use a normal loud build needing only to add the skill to suppress civs with gunfire.

[@darthrevin8230]

I got 2 challenge run ideas for you Can you beat Payday 2 as Han Solo? -Using only the Broomstick pistol with the Damper L. 44 Nozzle and the Barrel Sight 44 -No primaries (except for the saw ofc) Can you beat Payday 2 with only one loadout? -No perk/weapon/equipment restrictions, but once you make your loadout it stays that way throughout the whole run

[@shreknskrubgaming7248]

The one loadout challenge would be really interesting, I've been thinking about something along those lines for a while.

[@somerandomgamer8504]

One loadout is how I played Payday 2 for ages as a noob lol

[@Musikk_Per_Automatikk]

And you can only shoot first

[@ggibby0450]

Sticking with the TF2 theme, Heavy could be fun. But maybe not exactly challenging. In any case, here are some ideas. -Primary limited to the minigun, (not the microgun, as that's shoulder mounted) -Secondary limited to the Locomotive and GSPS shotguns (as they resemble the stock shotgun and family business) -Deployable limited to First Aid Kits, reskinned to Sandviches -Melee limited to the fists, 350k brass knuckles, OVERKILL Boxing Gloves, and the cash. ("It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon...") -Perk deck limited to Muscle, as let's be honest, Heavy is an 800lb Gorilla. Difficulty in stealth will come from the lack of body bags, ECM's, etc, all blocked by the FAK requirement and poor concealment unless you allow the microgun. However, the shotguns can be suppressed and can corpse launch. Careful corpse placement and sixth sense preplanning assets could offset the lack of deployables. Difficulty in loud will come in the form of ammo management and the decision between snipers or shields. The minigun can't handle either of them, and the shotgun can't have slug rounds and flechette rounds at the same time. That's the end of my initial idea. However, I still think that challenge is pretty doable. So I was able to come up with one more idea... but it might absolutely skyrocket the difficulty, so take this with a grain of salt. Heavy is the slowest class in TF2, so he shouldn't benefit from any movement skills. That means Duck and Cover basic and Parkour basic are not allowed, thus locking out the entire Artful Dodger tree. Not only would this make dodging completely impossible, but it could also cause a potential difficulty spike just by the limitation on movement. As you've demonstrated with Spy, so many difficult situations can be avoided just by hauling ass at mach 4 away from the enemy. Stealth too would become that much more difficult, again because of that limited movement. "What about Transporter Aced", I hear you ask? That should probably still be allowed. First, it's removing the bag moving penalty, not increasing the player's base speed. Second, the Heavy would easily be able to lift heavy items with his monstrous strength.

An idea that is not super difficult but rather limiting is the idea of only being able to use one skill tree set (Mastermind, Enforcer, Technician, Ghost, or Fugitive). You have complete control over all of your weapons, equipment, armor, and perk deck, but your skills are trapped to three trees. For example, if you pick Fugitive, you HAVE to run the Gunslinger, Revenant, and Brawler trees. Nothing else. As I said, shouldn't be too hard, but definitely limits your capabilities.

Since we're coming up on the 10-year anniversary of Payday 2 (and the release window of Payday 3), here's a thematically appropriate challenge run suggestion: The "Payday Generations" Challenge, named after the Sonic game, for reasons that will be gone into below - and could be a sequel of sorts to the Time Traveller challenge. In this, the Dentist and the Kataru mess about with Baldwin's Lament just a little too much and create a time crash, causing the gangs of Payday: The Heist and Payday 2 to meet up with each other. Now, both sets of gangs have got to go through the highlights of the Payday heisting career - past and present - together, in order to correct the timeline (or something). Rules: -10 heists have to be cleared; 3 from Payday: The Heist, 3 from the beginning half of Payday 2, 3 from the latter half of Payday 2, and ending with the White House, in chronological order. -Each heist in the challenged needs to be cleared as the "Classic" gang and the "Modern" gang, meaning 20 heist clears total will be needed for this challenge. -"Classic" runs can only be done as heisters from Payday: The Heist (Dallas, Chains, Hox, Wolf), with weapons only from Payday: The Heist and using the Classic Heisting Reborn mod to replicate the original's difficulty, AI and enemies (somewhat). "Modern" runs have no heister or weapon restrictions and can be done under standard Payday 2 gameplay. -"Classic" runs have to be done on Overkill difficulty (under CHR), "Modern" runs have to be done on Death Wish. -All skills and AI crewmates are allowed for both runs. -In order to not break stealth runs in half due to the way that CHR works, any "Classic" run that can be done loud must be done loud with the exception of the White House (if you wish to). "Modern" runs can be done under any available strategy. -For the White House, one run has to be done with the Normal Ending, and the other the True Ending. You can decide which gang goes for which ending. -For heists to choose for the challenge, it'd be a good idea to pick the ones that are the most recognisable in the community/have the biggest story presence throughout the series in the aforementioned categories, such as First World Bank, Hotline Miami, Hoxton Breakout and Hell's Island (to name a few candidates). You can always ask the community for suggestions if it comes down to it. -Unique Lifeline: Time Warp, which allows the Classic Gang to operate under the Modern Gang's rules for one "Classic" heist.

I think a good idea of fixing the Bag throwing SIM aspect of the game would be an (I think at least) pretty easy overhaul of the system. Make the bags percentage based. You can pack let's say 5 big jewellery pieces like the watches and stuff because one would be 20%. Let's say 3 or 2 assault rifles etc etc. I think it would be ok and cut the time of walking around. Obviously it's not perfect but I would find it better to throw 2 full bags of jewelry instead of 10 because I doubt watches take that much space in that huge bag

fully modded dual broncos are my favourite thing for taking out dozers, it makes it so smooth and easy! love playing with them.

[@andreasottohansen7338]

59:20 Okay, so here is a thing I noticed with No Mercy Over by the panic button that keeps causing problems, there is a room full of people. Once you begin taking out cameras, the people in that room will, at regular intervals, come out of that room single file towards the panic button. Because of this, you will either need to deal with the room during the control bit, or take out the civilians as they come out.

Good job when I get a PC I wanna try this challenge

They should add the 1895 nagant revolver. It’s one of the few revolvers that actually could be suppressed, because of the complete connection between the cylinder and the barrel.

In my headcanon this is what the Spy did for a living before becoming one of the mercs.

Watching this video made me have a new appreciation for the Go Bank. Instead having the players just idly wait for 5 minutes for the drill/vault, the game throws stuff to deal with to the players. Making the gameplay more engaging during that period. And it needs to throw enough stuff at the players to challenge a multiplayer crew. If the challenges are easily dealt by a single player, the other three are just going to sit there with thumbs up their asses. And contrary to what you're implying, it's not possible to have challenges come up in a way that can be dealt by one player, but at the same time be challenging to a full crew of 4. So in my opinion, designing missions in a co-op game with the difficulty balanced around the single-player experience is the real miserable design trap to fall into. And balancing co-op missions in co-op game with the assumption it will be played co-operatively, the only sane design choice.

So many namedrops, you coulda sworn they were soldiers garrisoned in a fortress. 10/10 video as always, pard'ner.

[@TheDandelionSniper]

That voice mod is amazing.

[@Lunaraia]

Rewatching this I found out what offed you on run 3 of Biker Heist. It's only 2 frames, but if you pause right on one of those 2, you can see a bullet impact appearing from the window where the outlined turret is. It shot you thought the window even though it was seemingly blocked by the wooden midsection of said window.

[@Eve.The.Whore.Of.Babylon]

I stopped playing payday 2 a long while ago, but I still love watching your videos. It would be cool if you made a bit of payday the heist content :]

[@bolmobelo]

Good (but INCREDIBLY hard)challenge idea:can you beat payday if every enemy is a bulldozer? Basically,use the clone army mutator,with bulldozer selected. Extra hard challenge:the same,but you also have the overdozed mutator on,so every enemy is a bulldozer,and every bulldozer has a _shield._

First 20 seconds of the video and you already have yourself a new subscriber.

[@commandpost4091]

The akimbo ones were run with “cowboy loads” where one of the rounds isn’t loaded into the cylinder so the primer isn’t struck while it’s sitting in ur pocket

[@Maj_Problem]

Scout? Dodge build, Shotgun or if you want to be more specific the Mosconi with a sawed off barrel but keep the stalk for the force a nature or judge for the shortstop. Bat melee and pistol for secondary

[@_arkalis_5573]

The spy's head appearing on every action should have the vine boom

[@ninjacraftb]

Coming back to this I realized something, the Judge is a revolver that can be silenced and is generally considered the best stealth weapon, a Judge only run would’ve been neat

[@SomethingSpookyYourGhostHost]

"Gentlemen, this is a cloaker!" "DEAR GOD!" There's more..."

[@Darkclowd]

LMAO that interact image is TOO GOOD

Quote of the video: "Doing what no Englishman ever should: becoming french"

[@sammy-mj1ls]

brand new idea for maybe not a challenge run but just an interesting way to play. play as Agent 47 in payday ie: suit only, stealth when possible, weapons that agent 47 would use, lets say for simplicity, snipers and pistols. and only killing targets (hector, Ernesto etc) everyone else must be intimidated and taken hostage while in stealth. mods allowed if anything can be found to make it more interesting and more hitman-ish. idk if this is even possible for a full run but to me its sounds like fun

[@Ghostly3011]

Seeing a Skulldozer walk out of a container and start shredding you while in stealth would be terrifying.
