I had lot's of fun playing this Challenge im not gonna lie, this surely was a different challenge for once in a while for me that was also interesting to play. Though I am probably not going to make more challenges involving the Storyline since this Video took so much effort to make. What I might keep up though is the editing style that I went for in this Video, if you people seem to like it, I might as well continue making content like this, guess I gotta wait to see how this Video does.
With that said, I hope you enjoy this Video, maybe hit the Like button and go for the Subscribe, I'd appreciate it a lot.

You don't have to apologize my man, the shier dedication and patience you put in this makes up for the snowballs and the two heists

[@Techhunter_Talon]

It's amusing seeing the enemies just pop out of existence when they die. XD It's a complete opposite to Knowley's runs where he tends to bump up the enemy corpse count to absurd levels and just wade through the carnage he creates during the loud heists.

[@Kownak]

Bro the dedication.... You're a legend

[@artyom2801]

C4 in air? That's tame compared to playing No Mercy at literally 3 AM as I've encountered multiple bugs like: Somehow locking the heist into stealth despite the countdown and despite the guards best efforts, hell they spotted me and I killed em. Afterwards they respawned, ignoring the corpses after changing to scrubs and murdering civs and then we soft locked the mission. Another one was the bots not getting into the elevator, breaking the illusion of the elevator completely, especially when my friend got out at a micro second of the bots arriving. Also it's definitely not as cursed as the safehouse. Apparently client side, they can see an interactive skylight while host cant even interact with it, they can snort all of Jimmy's cocaine and finally, the least expected one and probably a hint to some cut content at some point, the client side can also pick up a chainsaw from Jacket's room and it's a tool with its own icon. It's weird.

[@slamfam7621]

That first glitch you mentioned, the no mercy one, I've had that happen in a public lobby, I think that heist has gone to shit after the last few updates, could be an engine thing.

[@tye-wynd5218]

To anyone wanting to know why the saws didn’t let fully loaded aced occur, ammo bags only pickup if one of your 2 weapons isnt on full ammo, even if you can replenish throwables Its pretty dumb.

[@bizon7733]

Actually you dont need Jokers for Panic room, Fully Loaded aced gives you ability to pick up trowables from ammo drops (or at least I think). Then just habe good aim and you can kill al the snipers.

@@joleneclancy8437 Thats true, but I think when KKnowley did it, they were not in the game. My method was possible even back then, again I think, I tried coming up with something KKnowley could have used. But yeah, Ace of spades are a option toom probably the easy one.

[@wildframed2262]

Definitive runkiller is panic room. Snipers you need to kill are spawned which will probably melt you, and you need to take them out to progress the heist Could be even eariler though.

[@Blucario90]

[@scrotumscratcher2474]

@@Blucario90 jokers will get stuck on rooftop slaughter. and AI is to stupid to shoot that far

[@shreknskrubgaming7248]

It depends on your definition of pacifist. 0 kills? Almost certain that's impossible, given that there are certain people you MUST kill to progress (Ernesto Sosa, Hector, the commissar, I think the biker boss is mandatory as well, etc.) Now, if you mean something like DarkViperAU's pacifist run of GTA V, where you try to finish with the least amount of kills possible, I honestly think it is doable. Might be a pain in the ass on the highest difficulty but just finishing the career without that requirement, I've thought about it a lot. You'd need a perk deck that doesn't require doing damage to function, I'd imagine Stoic would be the best option there. The Biker Heist day 1 would be a bit of a problem, I think, because if a cop stops the mechanic, you don't have a way to free him without killing them (bear in mind my version of the challenge bans jokers and team AI because... well, if you're not playing on the hardest difficulty, I think that would be pretty easy.) Shockproof would be a must as early as possible, like most of these challenges. I think someone could pull it off, honestly.

41:45 Yooo, MatPat?

[@darthrevin8230]

[@jackofalltrades2721]

I feel like there is a loophole to the challenge. It is stated specifically to not fire a BULLET, making weapons like Flamethrowers, grenade launchers, etc. to be viable, for those are not bullets. If not so, then at least flamethrowers would 100% work with this rule.

[@unclegeldgeil]

I guess this is what I get for not explaining the ruleset well, I know it only says "bullet" but I still mean anything that can fire including crossbows, grenade launchers, flamethrowers and so on. This is supposed to be a challenge and being able to use weapons that can fire just ruins it all. I can't use anything that shoots, the only thing I am allowed to use are tools aka the OVE9000 Saw.

[@EdyAlbertoMSGT3]

Grenades fires by grenade launches are just bullets with extra rules.

[@unclegeldgeil]

agreed, I shot out of anger but restarted anyway so I see no issue with it, I was going to restart before the shot anyway because I failed the stealth. I guess it just doesn't look like that, or feels weird when you watch it.

[@genzu6388]

@@unclegeldgeil oh, no, of course we all know that you shot out of frustration and restarted anyways, it's just that *technically* you didn't beat payday 2 without shooting. But for all intents and purposes you did great man, and my comment was going for that tone of 'I'm too literal about everything and really self entitled on the Internet'. Also alternate title suggestion: 'YOU CAN'T beat payday 2 without shooting, but I CAN .'

[@zackfoster3208]

I know you said why you didnt want to use the katana but you really missed out on hit rate without that. When you time it right you wont get the animation for pulling out your actual weapon, i use that on a DMR saw infiltrator build on DW and sometimes do my most kills with the Katana just because it works so well

With the 2nd guard not surrendering in the tutorial. Pretty sure it's because you killed the first guard. Think if you dominate or kill a cop you can't dominate guards for like 4 minutes

[@Ivan-cs7rq]

Nah, it’s just that the script doesn’t let you do that. You can kill and dominate as many times as u want during stealth, keeping pagers in mind.

[@Bay1k]

You can dominate cops in stealth up to 8. Killing just triggers cops to shoot upon detection for a set amount of time. Even this video has an example for this happening in the diamond store.

[@shekkie]

@@Bay1k The timer doesn’t restart unless he goes for an arrest. Even if you dom, he’ll be intimidated.

[@Bay1k]

@@shekkie shotguns also bypass that timer. I forgot the reason why.

[@meat.]

@@Bay1kkilling is not what triggers guards to shoot. You can actually kill guards as long as 3 different possible conditions are not met. 1. if you shoot near the guard and either miss point blank or do not do lethal damage on the first shot and are close enough to the guard for him to HEAR your silenced shot while he is alive 2. If you do non lethal damage from afar so he doesn’t hear your shot BUT you do headshot damage 3. If a guard is alerted by something else and you do any non lethal damage It is fairly complicated and silly but I think it is a really cool mechanic for understanding why guards shoot. Marcmb has a fantastic video on it titled something like “aim is important for stealth”
