The Payday 2 Iceberg Explained

[@Shrimp8]

I remember Wordsmith once said in a Steam discussion that, how he sees the heists, is that every time you play a heist its like someone retelling what happened during that heist and that since everyone remembers things slightly different from each other, the real story never really remains the same. Basically, Payday 2's RNG mechanics are canon and it's people trying to recall the same event but memory is having people tell slightly different stories every time.

[@steeljawX]

This is enforced in one of the opening dialogues for No Mercy. Chains will be saying something and Duke will cut in and say, "Why does it feel like I shouldn't be here?" (or something along those lines.) Bane tells him he should be here, but Chains and Duke are the only ones present (story timeline wise) to say anything. Other intros has Chains, Bane, and Hoxton; and then a mix of Wolf, Houston (or Hoxton. It's difficult to say), and Bill from L4D. The mission is prefaced by Chains though which eludes that the No Mercy Heist is a different retelling of the heist from different members perspectives. Hence why newcomer (storywise) Duke questioned his presence in such an old heist stated in the game as "an old heist".

[@kotzpenner]

As much as I hate "This was all a dream" plot excuses, this actually makes the most sense. You can take different characters to different heists (even ones before they joined the crew) and the circumstances make it ridiculous. I believe all of the game is actually a retelling of how the heisters felt during the heist, while sitting on the beach, boasting about their achievements (as per true ending), talking about endless waves of cops, millions of dollars etc, while in reality it was probably at most about 50 cops or so they fought, but the player usually slays hundreds. Also explains how you can do the same heists in different ways, even in stealth/loud and inbetween. I don't think it's realistic that you rob the FBI HQ 100 times in a row lmao.

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

Jacket is a crazy fan of Hotline Miami who took on Jacket's personality. Maybe he could have split personality disorder or just be a crazy fucker. After his ending he moved to Miami and created a gang similar to The Fans from HM2. "Real Jacket" never actually existed in Payday universe because he's a video game character.

[@nade7242]

plot twist jacket isn't actually a person the tape recorder is sentient

[@Skorpeonismyrealname]

I've always been under the headcanon that Jacket doesn't use his tape recorder when heisting. He's just the silent type that whistles and uses hand signals, even in the midst of a firefight. A la Hotline Miami proper. And when everyone is winding down in between waves, or chilling in the safehouse, he uses the tape recorder then. Or at the very least, he uses weapons that only require one hand to operate, and takes cover to pull out his tape recorder if something major happens. He only uses it all the time in-game so that players can still get those auditory cues.

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

@@Skorpeonismyrealname it's a gameplay mechanic In Hotline Miami Jacket was talktative. And if we consider the fact that he started a relationship with a girl who wanted death I'd say he's also charismatic

[@FrozenSolid90]

My personal interpretation for the two main with Jacket lines there "Your name is not Jacket" and "You are responsible"... I think it's case of everything that happened to him has caused him to go insane rather, so now he only refers to himself Jacket, which obviously isn't a name, to distance himself more from reality. And over the course of Hotline Miami and his time with the Payday gang he has done a whole lot of things in his insanity, and after that he can't go back because it would just break him further if he ever were to get out of his insanity and looked back at the things he's done.

Hello

[@PSpencer]

For how people did the full-stealth Counterfeit heist, you would take 2 body bags and place both in spots where the AI couldn't physically walk to them (one of the locations was atop a set of cupboards in Wilson's kitchen, and the other was on top of a gate next to Mitchell's house). The first two cops that were called to the scene would notice one body bag each, freeze, and attempt to walk to it. But since the bags were placed in a way where the AI literally couldn't path to them, they were forever stuck in the initial 'alert' state and never sound the alarm. As long as you didn't kill them or get detected yourself, you could then play out the whole heist without going loud.

5:13 - You don't need to theorize about it, since it's confirmed in Houston's bio xddd 9:50 - You've missed out one of the greatest glitch for making money/XP - basically, you need to throw the body bag at the top of the gate frame, where the cops shows up and at the top of kitchen cupboard (Marcmb had the great video on this glitch, which explains every detail). This is because AI doesn't know how to get to those bags and they can't report them to the dispatch, but they still will be at "!" state. 14:48 - That's basically the screw up from Overkill, since they didn't removed in april 2nd the ricochet for Minigun. It's also the case for akimbo weapons and pistols. That was fixed shortly. 22:32 - Not related to this video, but rather one plothole that WordSmith actually created - you see, during the Bank Heist - you can kidnap two specific hostages, that a responsible for raiding Wick's house and killing his dog Daisy, despite Good Ending told us, that the first movie takes place after the PD2. Also he knows Charon, even though he gets to know him in the first film. Final coffin in the nail - Wick's models features scars, that John receives after the torture, again that he gains from the first film. Hoxton in "Hoxton's Breakout" also does have the line about John's deceassed wife. 28:45 - Well, actually in 2015 - AlienWare Arena had the giveaway for both Alienware related mask and the exclusive melee weapon. That's how I've got those xd 37:57 - Thanks to Murkywater, they probably didn't. The virus was only injected to Bain and considering Murky successfully burned the Mercy Hospital to ashes - the L4D scenario is unluckly to happen in PD universe... The Heist version though - yep, it's totally the prequel to Left 4 Dead. 39:07 - Lucille bat was also crossover with Walking Dead and can be consider the second official material about the new (at the time) Overkill's IP in the form "Overkill's The Walking Dead". The first one being the teaser. 40:33 - This is more of a joke on Simon's (Viklund) part than a fake. It's also during that period - some theory goes that Ulf and Bo had conflict about the microtransaction and other stuff, which lead to Wolf character not receiving any new lines. 48:20 - Vlad in AfterShock heist says, that the safe weights 400lbs. But considering your math - it's even crazier xd 1:04:00 - I think it's a reference to Ron Perlman's birthday, but with 6 days gap - since he was born 13th of april. 1:06:12 - Charity thing was brought up by the dude with Life Is Strange profile pic, since he was close friend with AJ (I forgot his name, but if someone reads this and was around this time in PD community - they probably can recognize who I'm talking about) 1:09:40 - I don't think it's Eric though, since the beta voice doesn't sound like him at all. Either it's a good acting by Eric's part or most likely - it's a placeholder voice due to Simon Kerr being unavaiable for one reason or another.

But so is playing cook off on low difficulties for hours on end with bots. The payout of the fake money was very low, even on the higher difficulties, and you'd spend a mind-numbingly long time trying to farm it and it was very easy to make a mistake and go loud, ruining the whole thing. Mallcrasher was the same way, people found a way to 99% stealth it and it became a meme, then a feature. Why couldn't this just be left alone or given the same treatment?

Couldn't find a comment on this so I'll just make it myself. I'm pretty sure that "ricochet miniguns" refers to the Mutator options you can choose when starting a heist. A lot of people found it fun to turn on "friendly fire" and "ricochet" to pvp each other in a very small area with miniguns so that the bullets fly all across the room. A good room for this is the basement in Nightclub

you're going to blow up in popularity because of this video mark my words

[@fl00p1y2]

Fun fact: Bill from LEFT 4 DEAD is in the elevator in the no mercy heist in the beginning

[@bquad2]

Counterfeit stealth was not patched. It was simply made more difficult. Also, crime war's development has started again.

14:55 its about prima aprilis joke in payday 2 that makes minigun shoot richochet bullets , GeneralMcBadass made video about it

[@michaelromanchuk9840]

one possibility for duke being a time traveler is that on certain heists, I'm not sure which ones exactly, but I know he says it on no mercy, voice lines like "I feel like I'm not supposed to be here" or something like that

[@azkaghafara5712]

No mercy, bring duke as teammate and you will get the dialog in the opening

[@redwiltshire1816]

I love how the real dev team for paid is surround by real heists and people stealing money that’s got be ironic

[@bananabuns9007]

the whole lone wolf thing? i feel like they somehow found out about it, but i really dont think it was ulf, wasnt the whole crimefest idea of skins made by liongamelion and bo? why would it randomly blame almir for everything? it doesnt make exact sense. also i think the missing HRT units is a broken code that they never fixed (not surprised)

[@penguinsrockrgr8yt216]

The cop clone army theory also is supported by a stocks list showing “clone a cop” is down

[@swapertxking]

correction: vlad sometimes does still show up in your safehouse after completion of golden grin and the diamond, and there are other references to Hoxton's name being Jim Hoxworth from the Elephant and the butler. well vlad shows up in mine periodically in the bar area.

[@MrHrBomb]

14:50 IIRC during one of april fools updates they added a perk deck that had richochet ability and it was best used with the minigun. This lasted for a day, the joke perk deck was removed...

[@user-fi2zs2ww1r]

If I’m not mistaken the fire damage screams are stock sounds. They were reversed and used in sad satan. Source: video titled something along the lines of sad satan audio debunked, if not then they are extremely similar

[@HellaKaiser]

For Rust's throwing axes it's more likely that it's just a nod to the god Mercury who used to be a symbol of wealth

[@yungsquirrel]

You can actually still see some of the bag damage mechanics in the safehouse raid, where if you shoot your money bags (the ones in the stash, not the actual bags you can pick up) money flies out

[@bloxyoyo]

55:07 I remember one time a cloaker was literally RUNNING AWAY from me while I had my melee raised with counterattack aced, trying to pepper me with bullets.

Little fun fact about myself in Payday 2. I actually made a Hoxton mask during art class in school.

Cool, i once made Wolf's mask but except of colors and fact it was a mask it didnt much looked like the original duh

39:59 actually it would make more sense that they'd use the diamond of it's a Lazer drill since actual diamond tipped drills can't cut through tough metals because it'd shatter on the pressure but if they used it for the lense of the drill that'd work

[@TheTSense]

Almir's Toast became a joke because sometimes safes you drill don't have loot, but random props. One of these props was a half-eaten sandvich. Not sure who puts that into a safe

36:45 another H.P lovecraft is “Chains” having the same name as Lovecrafts cats name.

"Old meth formula" reminds me that I once read that they had intended for the cooking mechanic to be far more complicated, with well over 3 ingredients, and maybe even a dozen steps.

Ahh shuks I was writeing a scrpt for the payday iceberg and it seems like you made a video much better then the one I was working on. Alltho great video and your channel has a lot of potential for growth and desires more subscribers :D

Awesome video, dude! I was hoping somebody would make a Payday iceberg vid!

Hey man, you've made one hell of a video! As a long time payday fan i found it really enjoayble. Damn i wish for some more content from you in the future. ^-^

6:34 Bobblehead bob is also seen in the armored transport trailers, Seeming asking somebody out in 1 scene, Then waling away, sadly, In the next

Bobby being in the safehouse now is really wholesome It's good to know too, I think I'll start exploring the place more now

I never realized the irony of Overkill being raided by the police. It took me like 3 years to get it. Smfh

[@MagnusPeccatori]

There's also a reference to the game Cry of Fear in one of the halloween nightmare heists. This is because Andreas Rönnberg, the lead developer of Cry of Fear now works (Or used to work?) At starbreeze. Last time I talked to him about it, he said he was working on the team that was developing the TWD game

[@RemyDyte]

the duplication glitch works really well if your internet is subpar

[@octmawthorne1417]

Don't know if somebody said this, but I think the "Chains is in a pickle" line is still used in the game. I remember hearing that not all that long ago. Thinking it might just be rare to hear.

[@fromach]

The clone cops is confirmed IMO. Big Bank has a stocks update screen(or whatever it's called) that mentions a company that produces ready-made, pre-trained, and pre-armed Cops, alongside companies that make Drills and other in-game items.
