[PAYDAY 2] Big Oil DSOD: Everything there is to know || Ultimate guide

[@alexmorath]

Actually, as the patch notes say, we changed how the lab door works, because it feels unfair to have a perfectly good stealth run be thwarted by a door being opened :) So we have no plans of fixing this, unless you guys really really want us to for some reason.

[@Marcmb]

Hey Alexander! It's very nice to get a confirmation on this from someone at OVERKILL, thank you very much! Many comments have been wondering whether this was an intended change or not, and now I can confirm to them that the change is indeed here to stay! I agree with your reasoning, so personally I welcome the change - I'm sure more heisters will enjoy the heist because of this! The thing with the patch notes, and it's just a very minor detail, is that we were all quite confused because the patch notes state: _"Fixed an issue on Big Oil day 2 where the Guards _*_would not get alerted_*_ when the basement door was opened."_ while the issue that was fixed was actually the fact that guards *WOULD* get alerted upon spotting the open lab door, so I think it would've been a bit more clear if the patch notes said: _"Fixed an issue on Big Oil day 2 where the Guards _*_would get alerted_*_ when the basement door was opened."_ Very tiny detail, but the wording was a bit confusing and I couldn't be sure of what the intended behavior was! So once again, thank you very much for the confirmation, much appreciated! And thank you for watching of course! 💗

[@alexmorath]

@@Marcmb Ah I see, yes that does sound like a misunderstanding on the part of the patch note writer then, sorry. Funny thing, I believe I learned of this issue through a GeneralMcbadass video about the level some time ago, so we discussed it internally and decided to update it :) I wasn't aware that the level goes loud when the helicopter comes in though, or I'd probably bring that up too, since it's the same principle really. That is a pretty big design overhaul though. If you have other weird "bugs" anywhere, let me know :)

[@Marcmb]

@@alexmorath No worries! It was indeed just a tiny detail that caused a small misunderstanding, so with your clarification here, now everything's fine! I can definitely see how you would first spot this behavior in a GeneralMcBadass video, because this behavior has been in the game for so long, that even his old videos will show it! In fact, this behavior being so "old" added even more to the confusion, because we didn't know if it had been an issue all along, or an intended mechanic :D The helicopter forcing the alarm is indeed very similar, although that situation is much closer to the end of the heist, so the community has adapted by valuing the airplane keys a lot (for the faster escape), or bringing a combination of loud and stealth heisters, to deal with the last phase. So seeing that it would be much more work (compared to the door fix) and also that the community usually has ways to deal with it, definitely consider keeping these things in mind if you discuss it internally! I'll definitely let you know if I find some other things that look like bugs or unclear behavior. Thank you very much once again! :D

[@alexmorath]

@@Marcmb The door being detectable was indeed intended behavior back when the level was made, but in 2020, it's just archaic and unfair in my opinion. On a technical level, the helicopter forcing the level to go loud should be fairly straight forward to change but there are other aspects to consider, for example achievements and level intention on a grander scale. Bigger changes like this tend to snowball and just create more headaches. It's not how we would make levels today though, I can say that much :) I can't make any promises hehe.

[@Marcmb]

@@alexmorath Interesting! It's cool to hear how the methodology and philosophy for level design changes over time. Now that you mention it, there is indeed an achievement for making Bile sound the alarm when he arrives with the helicopter, so that may be hard to deal with from a technical point! I see how there could be many consequences and possible snowball effects that get out of control if attempting this change, so I won't be holding my breath for this one! However, the helicopter is more fair than the door (after all, it is a loud and unexpected helicopter, combined with a rather very visible flare), so if it's too complicated to change, don't feel bad about it! :D Plus, I'm sure there's a few players out there who are also fans of the risky, spicy ending :D Even if it does catch new heisters off-guard! Hahaha

[@SymphonisXD]

IT BOGGLES THE MIND HOW MUCH INFO YOU GET FROM SUCH A SMALL CRACK IN THE WINDOW SHUTTERS! That was extremely new but man you made day 2 so much easier. Thanks man and i wish i can play payday 2 ;-;

[@Marcmb]

Haha, thank you Symphonis! There is indeed a lot of information to be gained through that tiny space below the shutters, glad you enjoyed that! I'm very happy to hear that this will make DAY 2 easier (I added a lot of information, so hopefully it wasn't too much :p). Very unfortunate that you still can't get PAYDAY 2 to launch, hopefully one of these days it will be fixed! :(

[@SymphonisXD]

@@Marcmb in my opinion one of the most underated information you gave us was the fire in day 1. I didn't know there were still a key chain after the fire. Also thanks i hope i get to play again.

[@Marcmb]

@@SymphonisXD That's indeed a very good one! Hopefully this will prevent some players from restarting the heist after believing they have lost the keys because they are burning :p

Amazing list of timestamps! Thanks ar 15 👍 Hopefully the list will help other players too, and I'm glad my guides are helping with your solo stealth :D

[@CertifiedArab]

4 Years later and this guide is still coming in clutch! i forgot about what 400 BAR thing and the note locations and this just reminded me of all of that again (and finally got enough brain cells to do the server closed window shutter thing since then)

[@Marcmb]

Glad to hear that, CertifiedArab! Good to know this guide is still being useful, after all this time :) And good job learning the closed shutter tricks!

[@robertodemichi4366]

If im not mistaken, the engines are always the same pattern at the same place, so for example, the engine number 9 will always be deuterium, 3h and below 400 bars, and it's the same thing for every one of them so just by knowing the 3 factors you can figure out which one it is without taking the time to look at the can, the nozzles and the pressure, you can find online descriptions of which engine has what stats, and even a table for it.

[@Marcmb]

Hey Roberto! You are absolutely correct: the distribution of the 12 engines on the 12 tables is always exactly the same, and the properties of each engine are also the exact same. For this reason, we can guarantee things like "all engines in the room on the left have 3 nozzles; while all engines in the room on the right have 1 or 2". However, there's a chance that the intel about the engine will spawn in the lab, so at that point it's better to check the engines yourself, rather than looking for an outside list. Not only that, but even if the intel was found outside of the lab, it doesn't take that long to look at the engines and find the right one every time (you're waiting for the helicopter anyway), and having to alt-tab to external lists takes you out of the heist slightly... This is of course just my personal opinion, and my playstyle because I enjoy the "puzzle"! But your statements are correct, and thus if the opportunity arises you can check a list of properties for the 12 engines and figure out which is the right engine before going down to the lab :)

[@Mythravish]

I cannot even imagine how much time and effort you put into this video. I don't even play these heists, I only play beginner heists but thanks to you I can give it a try now. Liked and subbed, you deserve much more than this

[@Marcmb]

Thank you very much, Enes Şen! It is a bit of work, but it's definitely worth it because I love being able to teach everything I know about stealth! Glad you're enjoying the content, and that I was able to make you go towards bigger heists, they are very fun to play :D

[@sammcd9732]

And just as I was thinking about crossing it off the list. Thanks Marcmb, stellar work!

[@elementalzone]

I appreciate the guide, I was afraid the entire engine puzzle would confuse me but your video helped me understand how to do it, so thanks again!

[@Marcmb]

You're absolutely welcome elemental! Glad the guide helped :)

[@nicrobe9443]

Well, weird thing happened on my last try on Big Oil. The engine game wanted was 1H, Deuterium (blue can) and less than 400. There was literally no engine that fit those requirements. I don't know why or how, but after going loud, it worked when I placed a 2H-Blue-

[@Marcmb]

Woah, that's indeed very strange! There's only one engine with 1H + Deuterium, and it has pressure of more than 400... there's also only one 2H + Deuterium, and that indeed matches that pressure should be less than 400. This sounds like a bug displaying the wrong hint on the clipboard: there are some visual bugs in the latest patch, like Camera Access showing up even when you don't buy the asset, the code manual disappearing in San Martín, or the security keys in San Martín being impossible to pick up... If you can reproduce the bug, definitely report it to Overkill! If it doesn't seem to be reproducible, I guess it's either a very rare bug, or maybe whoever read the hint on the clipboard misread it, which caused this confusion!

[@Marcmb]

Thanks a lot ZacTheUnbeaten! Glad to hear the guide helped so much :)

[@drbaker1005]

When im doing big oil i bag the wrong ones and put on the table to not confuse the engines.

[@Marcmb]

Hey DrBaker, that's a good idea too! I assume it helps with the process of elimination -- if you bag up the engines that are wrong (as soon as you are sure that they are wrong), there are less distractions while looking for the right engine. Just make sure you don't make any mistakes, because if you bag up the right engine by mistake, you won't be able to visually see how many connections it had, or its pressure, or the color of its gas can!

[@Queue3612]

just a bad idea, 1 wrong move and you litterally cant tell whats what

[@Mot-dh5sx]

No speedrunning tips for this, big oil is pretty linear in objectives so good job with the video! Always looking forward to see what you do next.

[@Marcmb]

Hey Mot! Absolutely agree - very linear, and not much that can be optimized because it's all about restarting until you get the server room in the middle of the house (because it has the shortest path from the spawn point) and then getting lucky with the helicopter timings, because there can be different wait times for the helicopter arrival and the engine delivery, depending on your luck!

Hey Avatar, that's awesome! I'm happy to hear that the video is already helping some heisters :) 11 minutes for DAY 2 is indeed very good, so well done! Although tracking time in that heist is a bit weird, because if you get lucky with the helicopter timings he will only waste 2m50s of your time, while if you're unlucky he can waste up to 5m10s! So quite a big difference, making it hard to say how good a run is, but 11 minutes is definitely very nice!

@@Marcmb Just a question, what hud do you use?

[@Marcmb]

@@otaviojohannjardim1702 Hey OTAVIO! My HUD is a combination of _PocoHud3_ and _Additional PocoHud trackers._ The former is responsible for the ECM timers, as well as the floating timers for drills, time locks, hacks, pagers... (whenever they are present). It also includes other on-screen numbers such as: FPS meter, IRL clock, levels right next to player names, and some numbers for each player which are "Kills | Jokered enemies | Current downs | Maximum downs (before custody)". The mod is very customizable and everything can be toggled on and off, depending on what you want! As for the latter, _Additional PocoHud trackers,_ I mainly use it for the 3.5s countdown before Sixth sense triggers, but it will also show you trackers for all kinds of things (any skill which has a duration or cooldown). Much like the previous one, everything can be toggled on and off! Very nice HUD so if you like it, I definitely recommend it!!

The number of ways this heist is designed to "Go Loud Anyway" makes it feel pretty janky (but then, isn't that just the way with Payday 2). I kinda prefer it with the AI broken to not realize the lab door is open.

[@Marcmb]

Hey Allan Grey! I also find it way more relaxing to play the heist with the lab door being undetectable: now I don't have to worry about leaving the lab door unattended while going to the airfield/pool for the flare objective, which is a big difference. Most situations can be controlled when you're right there in front of the lab door, but if it happens while you're gone it can feel a bit unfair :p

[@sinigh4262]

Great Video! I've done Big Oil way too many times and I wanted to see if you got everything. You were very thorough; I even learned that cold fusion research guaranteed 3h and deter. I thought it was only for deter. I also look through the closed shutters on the far side differently for the server room, but whatever works. Only nitpick I have is not saying what shutter codes are used for. I know they're practically useless but It can be useful if you're trying to hide a body upstairs by the window. Guards might get alerted if they aren't closed. Anyways, I look forward to more great videos :)

[@Marcmb]

Hey Sinigh! Thanks a lot for the very nice feedback, glad you found the guide to be thorough in most aspects :) As you point out, if you want to hide body bags in the server room, closing the shutters is very important for safety... I definitely should've mentioned that, to make the guide more complete, but I was trying to show that the shutter codes are generally useless (even though they are often considered very important), so I forgot to talk more about them! But then again, that can only be done if you got the codes, so I guess hiding the bodies in the safe location I mentioned (which doesn't require shutter codes) is a more general solution! Overall, glad you enjoyed the guide, and happy to know that you're looking forward to more, thank you very much! :)

I'm very happy to hear that, thank you :) As for my mods, they are essentially just my HUD mods, in this case a combination of _PocoHud3_ and _Additional PocoHud trackers._ The former is responsible for the ECM timers, as well as the floating timers for drills, time locks, hacks, pagers... (whenever they are present). It also includes other on-screen numbers such as: FPS meter, IRL clock, levels right next to player names, and some numbers for each player which are "Kills | Jokered enemies | Current downs | Maximum downs (before custody)". As for the latter, _Additional PocoHud trackers,_ I mainly use it for the 3.5s countdown before Sixth sense triggers, but it will also show you trackers for all kinds of things (any skill which has a duration or cooldown). Both mods are very customizable and everything can be toggled on and off, depending on what you want! Regarding my build -- my general stealth build is shown and explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWHPhJ2qmL-LhZo -- I give many details in the video about my choices, so I think the video will give you a much better explanation than what I could type :) But if you have any questions about any of my choices, feel free to ask!

[@ducksi1]

Hey I got a question: Do 2 clipboards/notebooks spawn every time on Day 2? I know it's possible to solve the puzzle without one of them(at least I did.. maybe I just got lucky though).

[@ducksi1]

For reference I solved it using that other whiteboard you used the Day 1 intel asset with, and another whiteboard saying "CASID FOR ______ IS...". I assume the ____ is the thing you need to find on the other whiteboard to determine the hose count

[@Marcmb]

Hey duckce! There's always one notebook and one clipboard yes, every single time! The list of spawns (7:43 in the video) is complete so if you check all of them you'll find both for sure! However, as you say in your main comment, it is possible to find the right engine without all the clues, because by comparing with the available engines you may be able to find the right one by process of elimination, even if you don't know all its details.

[@Marcmb]

@@ducksi1 However, regarding your subcomment (I'm replying to this one separately to avoid confusion), the whiteboard I show at 18:55 can ONLY be used when you have the "Cold fusion research" asset -- otherwise you cannot assume that Deuterium will mean you have 3H, because it may be 2H or 1H if it's not locked by that asset. As for the other whiteboard, the CASID one, I just want to let you know that it's purely fluff! The whiteboard always reads: _"Reminder: CAS ID: 1333-740 equals Hydrogen! H"_ Which is simply fluff because the CAS ID (Chemical Abstracts Service ID) for Hydrogen (H) in the real, actual database, is literally 1333-74-0, so the whiteboard is just some useless information to add to the atmosphere of the lab, not related to the correct engine!

What shotgun are u using?

[@Marcmb]

Hey FoxVoid! That's the Locomotive 12G, a very useful stealth shotgun. It's a beautiful weapon that changes a lot (from a first person PoV) depending on what mods you use. If you want to reproduce this exact look, here's the list of mods I use for this weapon (which is probably the most common set of mods for a stealth Loco): · BARREL EXT: The Silent Killer Supressor. · GADGET: LED Combo. (if you don't have enough concealment, you can switch this one for a Compact Laser Module -- or just remove the gadget) · GRIP: Straight Grip. · MAGAZINE: Extended Magazine. · STOCK: Tactical Shorty Stock. Everything else is empty (except for boost and ammunition, which have no effect on the appearance. I use Team Boost and 000 Buckshot). Also, my weapon skin is the new "Crypto" color that you can get from the LockeBreacher puzzle -- the settings I chose for the color are Paint Scheme: Inverted; Wear: Mint-Condition; Pattern Scale: Medium!

[@stesmi]

Unfortunately I am terrible at day 1, yes... still... Something I found that worked for me on Day 1, that made my super safe run a bit easier, was when you stand up in the garage, look where the badguys are, if any of them are looking out the window, and you think they might spot you as you make your way up, fire close to them to make them crouch- that way they're just looking out the window, oblivious... until they die. I can't remember if I saw it in the video, but on DS+OD there are 3 roaming guards outside, 3 roaming guards inside (they occasionally go outside to go the garage), and 9 stationary inside. They don't always spawn in the same positions, though. The garage can have 0-2, so you might go there and it's empty, or you may find 2 and some of the roaming ones hanging out. My max i've seen at one time is 4. There are a few "parking spots" inside, and (at least?) one just outside the garage door. If you want to play it safe, you can kill the outside roamers first, then jump inside and kill the two in the garage, and just wait for the 3 inside roamers to come to you. All in all that takes 15 down to 7 that you need to worry about. Of course, if you're good and fast enough (I.e. not me), you can just forego it all and rush it, like you do. Just some tips from a noob.

[@Marcmb]

Hey there Stefan! For this one, I always feel that a bit more speed (more reacting and less planning) always makes it easier, especially because you can easily take everyone down during the 78s of PCMs + ECMs, while prioritizing the intel. Quickly killing every enemy you see without thinking _too much_ makes it less likely that a roamer will walk in and spot the mess, which lowers the difficulty! But in any case, it's nice to see such a methodical analysis of DAY1 :D I never looked into the numbers for the reasons mentioned above. Your strategy definitely makes sense! Slow and steady :D

[@Marcmb]

Haha! That happens sometimes, glad the video could be of help. Imagine if _every run_ of this heist was as long as that one! It would be a nightmare...

[@linzhihan294]

I have done the heist both loud and stealthy with others, but after watching this video I am going to try solo it. I have just done solo Golden grin casino DSOD after watching your video on that one, had no issue at all except bumped into a civvie when running jump crotch on my first run. I think heist like the Casino and Big Oil really requires the player to understand the objectives and where/what to look for. In my opinion, Border Crossing could also fall in this category. But the Breakfast in Tijuana heist is very easy, objectives will be marked after sometime if u haven't come near it, guards are scarce and their route is avoidable(though there seems to have some route changing mechanism, such as guards go between the floors,which I haven't seen but is reported by other players, opening certain doors makes guard walk into more area.) I tried it without looking for any guide, and managed to finish it on DSOD. I think it's a fun little map, the main objectives are easy to accomplish, the securing of additional loot can be challenging if u want to stealth it but with unlucky loot room location. and the last part of the map has a tricky situation where the player can carry light loot and run across, but can be quickly detected when carrying heavy loot. The preplanning of the heist doesn't offer much stealth help unless u want body bags for cleaing civvies or make the front gate guard goes to sleep so the alarm can be disabled right from the start quickly and safely.

[@Marcmb]

Hey Linzhi! Good job on completing Golden Grin DSOD solo, well done! Glad that the video helped you :) I agree that Border Crossing is similar to these two heists in that aspect: there's no direct help from the game telling you where to go at each point... Breakfast in Tijuana is very different because it always tells you where to go for each step (if you're taking too long to find it), so in that aspect it's a bit too easy. I hadn't thought about this, but it's definitely very good feedback that I'll keep in mind when deciding the next heist for my "stealth tips" videos, thank you!

[@yolinyeet3323]

[@stesmi]

So after getting FF done, here I am again. Took me many hours to get Day 1 done, but thanx to you, it was doable. I honestly have way bigger problems on Day 1 than 2. 20 tries until I finally succeeded, and it took Both 2x ECM and 2x PECM to keep them from calling the cops. What self-respecting biker gang calls the cops when they're attacked, btw? Day 2 I almost made it on the first try. Got the Top away server room. Took it slow and steady, killing off 4 guards and then waiting for the Inspector to do his thing. I was also lucky in that one of the two remaining guards was just standing not far from the pool through everything. Since I don't know the map, I took a wrong turn and ended up at the front and not the back server room, and I only had 1 ECM on me. After finding the right one, I cursed a while as I knew I had to drill it. Odds on succeeding? I started when the guard (the roaming one) was downstairs, but he came upstairs, but lucky me he only looked the other way, and not at the drill. I had placed a few mines here and there (FF style), which meant I knew where he was most of the time. After hacking it I found the lab, got in, ran straight into a scientist (don't know who was more scared - me or him). Both clipboard and notebook were down there. 1H Deuterium, less than. Easy peasy. Picked it up, waited for coast clear, ran to the airfield and... Realized I hadn't watched the end of the video, as the flare wasn't there. Found it at the pool, and stupid me stayed there until I got the all clear, at which point there was no chance for me and my suit to make it back to the plane (Yes, I got the keys on day 1), even though The Bots traded me for the scientist. Second run I switched to having 2 ECM after watching the rest of the video. Front shutters were open, rear were closed. Front had no servers, did the jump trick and saw something on the left in the room, but... when I got there (killing guards as before), it wasn't in there, so I ran down to the lower room. There it was! Ran downstairs, took care of the scientist, and the clipboard wasn't there. Luckily I found it in position #4. 3H, Deuterium, Less than. Picked it up, got the flare at the airfield, ran there, did the thing and escaped. DS+OD Big Oil is now DONE. Thank you again, your guides are just amazing!

[@Marcmb]

Nice to see you making progress, Stefan! DAY1 is absolutely goofy with the BIKERS calling the COPS yeah... Back in the day, it worked differently: any loud gunfire (from you or the bikers) would attract the cops, regardless of ECMs being placed. It made a lot more sense, and the heist was also harder! As for DAY2, the back server jump will work every time to spot the possible server (when you get used to it), but for now, just being able to discard some of them (as you did in your final run) is more than good enough to always open the right door with your 2 ECMs :) GG!

[@Marcmb]

@@LeTouktouk Oh and regarding the question in this separate comment, I skipped the "extra helicopter fuel" asset because it's only useful if you deliver a few wrong engines, which shouldn't happen at all!! :D But now that you mention it, it's probably also a good idea to mention it in the comments, so that literally everything is explained even if it's never used! Basically, if you secure too many wrong engines (meaning that Bile will need to keep making helicopter trips back and forth), at some point he will need to pause for a bit to refuel, which increases the timer until he comes back. If you buy him extra helicopter fuel, this isn't going to happen - so definitely buy it if you're going for Dr. Miserable (which requires securing 12 engines), but ignore it otherwise!

@@Marcmb Yeah you're right but people think ( as i did ) that makes the helicopter comes faster. that's why haha

@@danielchristie2519 Aw, that's a shame that it happened so fast! Usually you get a bit more than 30s, so that's very unfortunate. In my opinion, it's decent that they add some kind of realism to different heists, with guards becoming alerted if they notice something has been opened, even though it should always be closed. It would be nice if it was more consistent across all heists, so that players would know what to expect. It's unfair when it happens for the first time, but now that you know about it: it's basically a solo challenge that forces you to open the vault _last,_ and be ready to move the 4 bags quickly, ECM rushing if needed if a guard spots the open vault. Or, if you still have pagers left, you can kill them if they spot the vault!

When this guide was not out big oil was a huge pain in the ass for me. Especially day 2. I failed countless amounts of times at the end waiting for the chopper with a stealth build. I've even got that far and as a secondary equipment i brought doctor bags xD

[@Marcmb]

Hey Dreamer, thank you! I'm glad that you found the guide helpful :) I actually have a specific "stealth" profile that I use when I play this heist with 3 other players, where I remove some useless skills like C4 and drills, and I instead bring upgraded doctor bags (as a secondary deployable), nine lives, swan song, inspire, and all those things! But the bots are so powerful, that when I play solo I just bring my regular stealth build haha :D

[@dreamer1206]

Good for u because my bots for some reason die immediately when the cops arrive and i have to shoot on my own. I even tried boosting their health for this heist but they just die so quick for me

[@dreamer1206]

Btw boosting their health i meant with mods

[@Marcmb]

@@dreamer1206 That's very strange! In my video I didn't really do anything with them (I just let them do their thing) and only one of them dies at the end. What weapons are you equipping your bots? They may be getting killed by the assault if they are unable to kill the enemies fast enough, that's my only theory about what's happening to you!

[@dreamer1206]

They are equipped with lmgs

I see you're rocking that cryptographer skin

[@Marcmb]

Absolutely! Usually I had the Immortal Python skin equipped for most of my weapons, but the new Crypto color looks really cool, so I'm enjoying it a lot! :D It was also very nice to be able to play with the pattern scale (and also paint scheme, and wear) so that every heister will have something slightly different, depending on what they like! Very cool :)

Another way to stealth the first day is to use snipers, 5/7 ap pistol, or the slugs on a shotgun. First take out the camera guy then use sixth sense basic to see enemies through the ceiling/floor and shoot anyone highlighted and alerted doing your best to not be spotted to avoid the bikers burning the Intel. Also line up shots to remove multiple bikers at once.

[@Marcmb]

That sounds like a very fun way to play DAY1, Dakota! I'll definitely have to try that out :D Thanks for the recommendation!

I noticed that in the lab intermissions, his run had been going on for 1 hour 30 minutes.. About how long it's gonna take me to *carefully* triple check i got the right engine I love your guides! They're always very clear and entertaining, and have helped me out a ton

[@Marcmb]

Haha yup! Not many noticed the ingame timer during that section :p I was carefully planning how I wanted to showcase that during the video, so I was in there for a long time. Happy to hear the guides have been helping you. Thank you, MyNameIsDark!

You're absolutely welcome brayden! Glad the guide helped :D

[@deepfried3224]

Underrated. This all im saying. Keep up the good work

[@Marcmb]

Thank you very much, deepfried! I appreciate that a lot :)

[@acasta403]

Oh no, an armed man just stormed into the room! I better set my keys on fire.

[@Marcmb]

Hahaha that is one funny way to look at it :D

[@davidarmstrong9728]

That feeling when you stealth it, got the right engine, bile broke a stealth, and than you got down on DEATH SENTENCE with ONE DOWN xd.

[@Marcmb]

That ending can be a bit rough, yeah! I usually camp behind the airfield area as shown in the video, and it's much easier with bots than with other players using stealth loadouts :D
