Random tip but you can also use the cover up skill to permanently turn off the lead guard's pager if you do a take down on them. Probably a bug/oversight.

[@Tsopu]

Not really a bug or oversight. The devs stated in one of their Q&A streams that some skills are intended to be used to bypass some of the difficulty modifiers. But I don't think too many people were really paying attention to what was being said. ;)

[@rewarddrawer]

This I haven't heard. I need to keep this in mind and try it out tonight

[@MathKillers]

Would love to have written return about that :)@@rewarddrawer

[@Knightsking917]

Ye this is game changing I’ve been doing since I unlocked the skill overkill made easy plus throw a bag of loot at security camera guard pulls him off all cams just makesure you pick it straight up

[@amsgamingandmusic]

​@@Knightsking917whoa, that's awesome, thankyou!

[@dylangreen192]

In Touch the Sky, the delivery guy will have a VIP pass that you can pickpocket off him. If you're still in casing mode, then having the pass in your inventory makes guards and cameras ignore you in the private areas. This only works in multiplayer though, since one player needs to mask up to unlock the front door for the person in casing mode.

[@Trypan]

On gold and sharke bank heist, you can use the motion scanner tool on the 3 manager doors. It will highlight the civ through the wall, letting you know where the keycard is. Handy for quick stealth without hr computer

[@maxmchaggis800]

I flipped my shit at 9:44 because i haven't heard that song since the PlayStation 2. It's "The Teensie Highway" from Rayman 3, for those who are interested.

[@jedthementalist5112]

My tip for quickly securing and moving hostages, melee. Hitting them gets them to the ground instantly. Grabbing is slow but accurate, however you'll always have to bind their hands once released from your grasp. Following hostages move faster (just don't run too far or they'll stop) and melee will drop them quick with no binding of hands required a second time.

[@brandonotto1688]

If you have a mask on you can hit up on the d pad to make them lay down on own

[@badger8602]

9:43 is the Rayman 3 music whenever you switched to a world. Brings back so many good memories 😭

[@bigbongtheory4222]

Haven't finished the video but u can put motion detectors on guards and use them like moble motion detectiors

[@IceNinja18]

You can also do this with the hacker skill that is supposed to make activated cameras mark guards for five seconds. From my testing it doesn't actually work properly, but if you mark them after activating the camera they stay highlighted for the remainder of the heist.

[@Galeigh]

As someone who used to work security on third shift, that dancing guard is NOT an outlier. we did some weird shit to pass the time.

[@uslashdeleted4171]

The Road Rage "tip" is more of general gameplay than anything else. So I have some additional insight to the heist. The Van moves faster the more players are in the zone. So everyone escorts the van when possible. The spawn points for the helicopter are safe spots and cops will rarely bug you. (especially the 2 tall chimney side) Don't start securing bags until the assault is over. So stockpile the loot at the heli and when the assault stops you can secure the loot and walk to the exit without any heat. Because the type of assault you get is tied to your heist progression and when you start securing loot it will start spawning cloakers, dozers. And when you have the escape available the final charge happens. As far as I know.

[@FrokeiThorn]

You can actually hack the bouncer on the right side of the door, go behind the card bouncer, and take his card, and scan it, during the hack, since he will step out infront of the door when you approach, the card will say it's observed but it isn't actually, which I found funny.

[@WitD2013]

Here's a tip no one has mentioned probably, in gold and sharke, if you take the zipline favor, the guard on the roof doesn't spawn, meaning you can get the secure all bags without the elevator access challenge by throwing them off and having someone in the garage grab and move them

[@KennyWlr]

Another tip for 99 boxes. You may have noticed that you can't open the second door before you loot the first bag, but that isn't actually true. Ever end up breaking stealth after having only successfully opened one of the containers but not the other, being forced to wait for the thermal drop? If you don't care about the quality of the loot (which, if you're doing stealth with just the two minimum bags - let's face it, you don't care about it) - you can use this to get both doors open before you have to venture out to the van. 1. Unlock the first container's door 2. Do the stupid wifi spots minigame (almost everyone hates it, it's not just you) 3. Open the door 4. Take the bag Now, DON'T run to secure the bag. You might end up breaking stealth and being forced to wait for the thermal drill for the second one. Instead, the game actually allows you to 5. Drop the bag back in the container immediately, ignoring Shade's pleas to secure it quickly because it's "degrading in value" as if we're in it for the money 6. Find the second container, unlock it 7. Optionally, try doing the wifi minigame in stealth Voila. You have opened both doors, and even if you break stealth trying to move both of them to the van - you won't have to wait for the thermal drop anymore.

[@IceNinja18]

Yeah, the wifi mini games suck. They need to find a better time sink.

[@pedroperez8204]

Instead of throwing a knife in gold & sharke in the first tip. Get caught by the guard and immediately hack the camera, while the guard escorts you, you position yourself behind him and open the box, then hack the guard and move the correct switch

[@crazy_dummie5240]

on under the surphaze, you can use the zipline bag on the dumpster near the van to get into the gallery way more easily and transport bags as well

[@v7xgaming]

For the first guard in gold&sharke I can do it unmasked by hacking his radio after letting him detect me and start moving me out of the area. Just run back and get the job done before the camera spots you. If you have to wait or he comes back, just get into the room and you can barely flip the switches without him seeing you

[@_synt3rax_437]

You can just hack the Radio and walk into the room, no need to get detected first.....

[@v7xgaming]

@@_synt3rax_437 I ultimately use now but the main plan is to get the switch flipped and get out before they come back so you don't have to walk out again

[@DigeeTheHead]

Or you could just ignore that switch, because there are 5 total on the map and you need only 4

[@deadmeme887]

Currently on Touch the Sky you can secure loot before the chopper arrives by throwing it into where the zipline is supposed to be when it’s not there, just pick it up at the start, throw it away and now that spot secures loot, just don't throw the SSD in there or you'll softlock yourself

[@ProthesenSohn]

The Dancing Guard in 99 Circles is not the only dancing Guard, in Rock the Cradle there is a chance that one of the guards will step out of the VIP area and go upstairs to do an Airguitar

[@Pannox]

In the area after the VIP entrance before the staircase down? I gotta check it

[@thewhistler6537]

The dancing guard had me rolling. 😂 Who hasn't just broke out into a groove when they thought there was no audience. 🤣

[@MegaSim3]

Don't feed the sharks might actually be a TF2 reference, since the latest update added the map Sharkbay In the loading screen for that map, you can see a newspaper with a headline about sharks infesting the waters of New York City

[@glorpo78]

in gold and sharke, theres a easter egg on the tower next to the building, in the windows are cutouts of presumably developers in previous heist themed rooms, you can see it easily with the reinfield 900S or red fox. its kinda funny

[@R3byChan]

On Touch the Sky if you select the Zip Line favor, before throwing the ZipLine bag in position, the "ZipLine Square" (not sure how to call it, but the square where the ZipLine bag should be thrown... well it functions as a Bag Deposit, it eats all the loot bags of snow and money So we basically take the ZipLine bag as favour but never use the ZipLine itself, we just use the square as deposit >_

[@The0nlyy]

Dayyyyum that’s crazy! Definitely a bug right? Let’s see how long it takes them to fix it 😁

[@R3byChan]

@@The0nlyy Definitely something not intended

[@venurian]

That's actually a crazy bug, maybe Overkill will be doable without having to cheese the bathrooms between waves so much.

[@ZreaperOfficial]

There's also a challenge for grabbing Mason on Touch the Sky when he goes for a phonecall. I believe the first trigger for this is opening the bedroom up but he may do it again as you progress further, Shade can tell you when he's stepping away

[@Straken77]

ain't he extra visible there ?

[@KennyWlr]

The second trigger will make him go to a MUCH easier-to-grab spot, the second floor terrace. The second trigger seems to be unlocking the filing room that has the keycard, so you should save that for when you're actually ready to grab Mason.

[@stokedmetal1839]

@@KennyWlrthe second one is easier, but the first one awards you 50 ip if you beat the heist by doing that.

[@KennyWlr]

@@stokedmetal1839 I believe the second one wins you the challenge as well? Maybe? Haven't tried it myself though, but I saw a video where people did it like that for the challenge. Dunno if they got it or if they were just doing a challenge run.

[@rewarddrawer]

In Dirty Ice you can find out which code is the correct one by accessing the computer in the office across the hall from the VIP showroom and reading through like the third or fourth email.

[@mentlegen12321]

yoooo Rayman tho at 9:57 the guard do be vibin with it XD

[@cameron8514]

another way you can take the key card from the bouncers in rock the cradle is you go up to them and when the one with the key card does the animation telling you you're not allowed in the back hack the other guards radio then crouch snag the key card from the bouncer and pop it in the door and they will be clueless

[@arbert....8654p]

Payday3 is that type of game that will grow every day from here

[@TheManateeDJ]

Not sure if someone else said it, but if you toss bags while vaulting they also get thrown quite a distance

[@TheGamingIvan]

For the 1st tip in gold & sharke, that guy NEVER moves so never wait, also if you want to hit the eletrical box mask off there, you must hack the camera, get caught, have the guard begin escorting, once the guard walks past the electrical box hack his phone, during this time quickly flick the colors!

[@PulzeDevel]

4:07 I thought that was a baby crying when i first heard it

[@zeldacrafter4578]

that guard in 99 boxes do be grooving

[@MrElite-lh7dj]

This was really helpful thank you! Now I think my experience just increased!

[@youkez6227]

for the manager on dirty ice, I just walked through the vip door and grabbed her as a human shield and walked back and nobody saw me

[@iimaska4828]

In Touch the Sky, about 30 seconds after opening the bedroom (I think), Mason will go answer his phone on the balcony giving you a chance to skip the poison part

[@MomJeans1738]

8:17 the Smiling Friends / Neon Genesis Evangelion meme made me chuckle

[@codykelley4425]

No rest escape knowledge gonna be super useful keepup the great videos

[@alivingperson7825]

if you do a part 3 please mention the ultra hidden painting by shanda latrell in under the surphaze. Its kind of like a mini stealth overdrill and you need at least 3 people to do the secret. There is even a steam achievment for getting it.

[@Knightsking917]

[@viruscookie4440]

On Club you can walk into the doors middle point, get shifter behind the "blocking" guard, hack the other guard. Swipe the card and open door unmasked on very hard and below OH the nostalgia, guard dancing to Rayman skating trough the warp tunnel music

[@iStoicVA]

the "Dont feed the sharks" could be referencing Sharke but that might be a stretch

[@bapbop2399]

7:08 of course there is a cloaker

[@xxkillerxranger6111]

Can you do a video about specific heist favors and how to get more of them

[@lx9049]

5:45 I slide and slam the door so they go to inspect without a knife

[@kenturesha9779]

On road rage the chance of it going the easy way is depending on difficultie

[@leretard6936]

If you're fast you can just run get the qr and rush the door with the cam hacked and he won't even make It there

[@HoundNL]

another tip: just shoot or melee the vents when you`re masked, it`s faster, no need to interact with it

[@ZephyrusRaine]

Be wary of the Lead Guard on Overkill though, they actually get alerted if they see vents being shot at and apparently windows and glasses being broken as well. In Touch the Sky Overkill, the lead guard can spot the lounge room vent being shot at from the balcony.

[@msceconomics946]

U can also just hack their radio instead of using a knife. They literally don’t see you in front of them

[@traceurAlex]

So in touch the sky you can get the vip invitation from the guy that brings the wiskey. Can someone without a mask freely walk arround the level then?

[@Pannox]

I've found out after I was done with 90% of the video, but yea, if an unmasked heister has the VIP invitation it counts the area as public. Neat but not super useful

[@SkitziXd]

Another tip, you can shoot all vents in the game and guards won't notice

[@PlungerMettaur]

As of right now, there is a bug in Touch the Sky where the panic room has a chance of closing behind you, locking you in and forcing a restart. This mainly happens when you are carrying Mason inside though

[@Knightsking917]

Ohhh shit don’t remind of that happening 😂😂

[@InevitableMayo]

I managed to grab the manager on Dirty Ice without triggering the alarms. It was pure luck, but somehow I didn't get caught doing it. The dead body I left in the camera room however...

[@IceNinja18]

You can also just take over the front room after taking out the camera guard. You go through all your radios on overkill, but you can get and clean all the loot. It's a pain though since you need to hide all the civvy's and anymore that come in after that. The most important thing is the way the lead guard works. His route changes based off of progress in the heist. The important one is bags. Don't loot any of the jewelry that goes into bags until you have secured the front and taken all the loose jewelry. This gives you the time you need to mover all the civs into the workshop or somewhere the guards don't check. Then, just quickly bag up all the remaining jewelry in the front and start cleaning it.

[@goopyglue20082]

I think lead guards route changes as soon as you pick up any jewelry, not just bags.

[@Shifue]

99 boxes you can toss the money bags at the front of the truck and they will disappear and go in the truck. this does not work with the objective items.

[@Mephaistus]

wonder if you can feed the sharks with art

[@pupplemupple]

put civilians in elevator to stop swat spawn

[@_synt3rax_437]

11:27 doesnt matter if you put him into the Panic room to hide him, the lead guard will go in there too if its open.

[@goopyglue20082]

I've never had him spot him when he's in the vault, I always put him in the corner and lead guard has never noticed him

[@joewesley7974]

You can put loot bags on the ai and it will count

[@crestfallen4341]

[@shelbytimbrook2095]

Two perks, in the same tree. The first puts ammo you pick up directly in to the magazine. The second automatically collects any ammo from guards you kill.

[@isaacwillis6042]

You can just sprint through the doors mask on to get it to fling open this will alert guards to sound wether you’re in normal or higher difficulty. If you do this in RTC and immediately turn around and they’ll both walk into the room one at a time giving time to answer both raidos. That’s if you wanna save throwing knives because civilians can also hear them and will call police so it can be a dangerous way to get a guard’s attention.
