Reaching the 499th Infamy Level | PAYDAY 2 Fails & Highlights: Open Lobby and I sometimes throw

[@Marcmb]

Hey everyone! As mentioned in the intro, here is the link to our Discord server! discord.gg/nAJSqDzqz3 Feel free to join the server if you would like to participate in my next random stealth lobbies / videos, or if you simply want to find other heisters to chat / play random heists with! Regular stealth, ECM rushing, infamy farming, sometimes loud, etc... Also if you join, and you feel like there are some useful text channels missing, feel free to mention it in our channel for Discord suggestions!

[@thatbloodyrisk]

For the aiming practice section, I'd recommend turning up your DPI setting and turning down your in-game settings since it looks like your aim is skipping pixels.

[@robinchen5458]

Also, i prefer a lower dpi x sensitivity. It allows me to more accurately make (micro-)adjustments while aiming

[@ThiagoJaqueta]

@@robinchen5458 The sensitivity is the same if you use the correct values. But very low DPI values will cause angle snapping, which is awful.

[@robinchen5458]

@@ThiagoJaqueta yes, i am aware of that and i am not denying that. What i meant to say was that I prefer a lower overall sensitivity

[@Marcmb]

I'll look into that, thanks thatbloodyrisk! Although my DPI is already set to 3,500 (quite high), so I'm not sure if my mouse can go much higher!

[@robinchen5458]

@@Marcmb yes i do not think your high dpi is the cause for the jumpy aim, as you said it is already quite high. Maybe it is because your ingame sensitivity is also high? I am not sure, certainly worth playing around with the ingame sensitivity and seeing which sens gives the best aiming experience

[@nadimthenewt]

i like that you added in your fails! i get easily discouraged after a few hours of playing the same stealth map on my own, so it was really good to see the normal nature of failing even with your 499th infamy haha. great work as always!

[@Marcmb]

Glad you liked those nadim! I always feel like some fails every now and then make the experience more fun, especially in full co-op lobbies. Flawless runs are nice, but if you never ever fail, it gets a bit dull!

[@MrBlueSky77]

Wow.. it amazes me thet people actually manage to get that infamy 500 with time and passion (i am infamy 37, 1500 in game hours) I just dont have time to play and grind payday 2 anymore because of the military haha. But congratulations with your infamy man! Keep up the good content!

[@Marcmb]

Infamy 37 is a solid start! Although completely understandable that you don't have time to grind, in your current situation :)

[@adimemo2134]

woah i didn't know you were so high in this game! and you did it all legit right? im really happy for you! (also thank you for explaining your every move!)

[@Marcmb]

All legitimate yup, thank you adimemo! I really enjoy XP farming, and I make lots of videos about it, so I ended up reaching the cap...

That down in 4 frames was a shame yup :( I was so close to finishing the heist after sneaking all those bags in loud, but died right before the last one...

[@Luckanio]

I love how you just gifted money to the guard lol

[@Marcmb]

Hahah :D He should've stopped following me after the 2nd bag -- he was so greedy!

[@WinderTP]

Damn, this is some serious dedication. I've been playing on and off for a year and I still haven't got to my goal of infamy 50. I just wanted to get a big fat L and I'm not even consistent enough to have it!

[@Marcmb]

Thank you very much Winder! 'L' is indeed a very nice infamy, a fan favorite. You still have a few months before PAYDAY 3 releases, so good luck with the rest of your grind :D

[@GabeN1998]

14:04 I know, I know. I'm late, but the timing of the ost is just too good

[@Marcmb]

Haha it does line up quite well :D Never noticed, but I just rewatched it and I had to replay it again to make sure it was coming from the video :p

[@NMbass906]

Great video as always, Marc! I joined the discord server a few days and played with some lovely people (shout out to bunni, and Bob who is in this video!) that helped show me the ropes on the 5 map rotation! Possible idea for a future challenge or video: after watching the sub 40 minute Infamy video and the three solo heists so far, I think it'd be awesome if you could do a video on a "live" solo Infamy. I realize you're gonna be 500 by then, but maybe you could just reset a skill set and just follow the 27m exp towards the goal and "level up" as you go as it were. (if that makes sense.) I've been able to get my own timer to around ~2.25 hours per infamy solo but I'm sure there's some heists I'm not really considering, and also I've been adding some Holdout cheeses in there as well lol. Not the most efficient but they're pretty easy to do after getting home from work. Not exactly a small video but I think it'd be an amazing resource. Thanks for all you're doing for the community as always!

[@Marcmb]

Hey there NMbass! I do remember someone who very recently had their first ECM rush rotation with bunni and Bob. Glad you were having fun! As for your request, I absolutely have plans for more Infamy Farming videos (even though I've reached the cap...), full solo rotations, and hopefully some livestreaming as soon as I have time in the future! Stay tuned for all these :D

[@Marcmb]

Decently lucky too! I was fishing for restarts, but it's nice it worked out :D

[@dedicatez]

the trigger for the breakfast in tijuana door in my experience is a bit delayed I think you have to look at the cell block door then run through the proceeding double door

[@Marcmb]

It's a shame that it's delayed :( Back in the day, when I made a video for the Tijuana ECM rush, you could have 1 player standing in front of the cells, and 1 standing in front of the armory, and both would be completed _instantly..._ I'll do some tests to get the exact trigger whenever I get to work on the guide for that heist :(

i don't understand how somebody so good at this game can be so bad at killing cops

[@rdesousa8955]

Border Crossing is hella stressful to stealth on DSOD without a proper crew

[@fiyahquacker2835]

Honestly I've never felt that is the case though it would be understandable if going for a pacifist run.

[@Marcmb]

It's not too bad, as *@fiyah* says! If you clear the big warehouse it becomes a lot easier, since you get most of the loot just from there, and then you have to avoid just 1 guard in the small warehouse :D

Could you explain why you chose poison shells? I didn’t know they had any utility

Poison shells can kill most common units in 1 shot. My guess is that it's used for ECM rushes to kill enemies without bothering much with aiming.. And also.... epic loud moments

@@nguyenvanquang876 top 5 moment

[@nguyenvanquang876]

​@@jimwormmaster You can't use suppressors on DB so it's useless in stealth About loud, DB can trigger Overkill while Poison rounds need a direct hit (enemy not killed by poison DOT) so DB is better for Overkill Aced setups. DB can also pierce shields, which Poison rounds can't However DB has pathetic range (8m lul) and needs to roll a crit to be able to 1-shot a Heavy Swat on higher difficulties Ultimately it's all up to prefrence.

Hey apchistuz! As others have said before me, you don't really need a very specific reason to do it: it's just fun! If you're gonna continue playing the game beyond infamy 25 (or 100), and gaining XP while doing that, you might as well increase your infamy as you go :D

[@galvanizeddreamer2051]

You may want to lower your mouse sensitivity, you're overshooting your target when you aim. Edit: I personally use a ~1.6 sensitivity with my mouse at 800 DPI, and that has worked great for me.

[@anthonywspt]

that's very low to me. i tried your sens, and i'm in deep trouble when dozers ran through me

[@galvanizeddreamer2051]

@@anthonywspt It is quite low, but for me that's about a full turn around in 15 inches, which is how much desk room i have for my mouse. It's a more CS:GO sensitivity than it is a Mirror's Edge one.

[@Marcmb]

I should definitely lower either my sens, or my DPI yup! However I really like these settings for camera movement and for menuing, so being unable to aim is a fair price to pay :D (especially since I play stealth only!)

[@Karma-Rv]

Is 499th Infamy worth it?

[@Marcmb]

I think so, yup! Ever since the Infamy Pool update, you can now go Infamous by just playing the game, without restarting your level to zero over and over. If you enjoy the gameplay, going infamous as you play is great - no reason not to do it!

[@Karma-Rv]

@@Marcmb I don't think that applies to the first five levels of Infamy.
