One thing: A lot of people guessed Hector was the rat because the dentist who helps break out Hoxton is played by Giancarlo Esposito. Giancarlo Esposito played Gus Fring in the AMC show Breaking Bad, in Breaking Bad there is a long standing rivalry between Gus Fring and a man named Hector Salamanca who Gus really wants dead.

Because, as you said, your used to them having guns when going solo, but in my case, I've had Cloakers shoot at me a lot more than they've drop-kicked me directly in the face. I have terrible luck with other things, but when it comes to Cloakers I seem to be lucky enough that they'll either just shoot me or ignore me and get someone else. Maybe it's my dodge build. EDIT: it's not the dodge build, I've been running Grinder for the last few weeks, Cloakers just want nothing to do with me unless I've killed a Dozer recently.

The first-person view models are pretty weird, but I think "Heister head Perspective" actually refers to the way that the game's camera isn't in the heister's head, but in their chest at the same height as their guns. This means that your bullets can come out of the centre of the camera without looking like they're going up from the gun; but it also means that if two players stand next to each other, both will be looking up at the other - your co-op partner will always look taller than your heister to you and vice-versa. As for the Jacket identity thing, I like to think that he used to work at Dennaton, the devs of Hotline Miami. He has a pager line where he puts the guard through to the Dennaton answering machine, and going from a game dev to a masked maniac already happened with Wolf so it could happen again!

Since Dennis and Jonatan were in Hotline Miami as the Janitors, going with this theory Jacket was an ardent supporter of 50 Blessings, if not a high ranking member (which in the Payday universe was something Dennaton Games was a cover for), but the movement never really went anywhere thanks to the other animal operatives getting killed by the Russian Mafia, cops, or deserted like Biker. The Janitors were killed by Biker, who bought their bluff and didn’t figure out Jacket was still alive.

[@spikeruth1674]

I honestly prefer the old meth cooking system. Most of the voice lines were pretty straightforward so there were only 2 or 3 you had to look out for and remember. I still remember that when Bain says "iffy" (in this line he doesn't even list an ingredient) you put in Caustic Soda and whenever he says "fuck me" it's Hydrogen Chloride no matter what he says. Knowing those little quirks felt rewarding when everyone else was confused by it. The new and current system is slow and not fun. You have to listen for the ingredient, then wait to see if it's right or not which isn't very interesting.

[@facemcshooty6602]

old system made cook off pubs even more enfuriating

[@creeperhunterD]

You're entitled to your opinion and I respectfully disagree with you

[@TrashB0nk]

It wasn't really a quirk though. It was a mistake left in the game by the devs because they got the audio files mixed up. It also played a different voiceline for each person so it would make one person in the team look like an idiot if they got one of the incorrect voicelines but nobody else heard it.

[@spinachgreens7179]

100%, Cook Off used to be my favorite heist. We were doing 25+ bag runs constantly. I won’t even touch the heist now. No longer are you rewarded for game knowledge, you just idle around until he confirms the ingredient. It lost a lot of intensity for this reason, it’s just a lot of idling around.

[@spinachgreens7179]

I too still remember that “iffy” means caustic soda and “fuck me” meant hydrogen chloride. I also think I remember that there was a voice line where plainly said one ingredient only to mean a different, so you genuinely had to listen to the inflection of the word.

You actually missed one small easter egg about the Nephilim. On shacklethorn auction, you can mod/glitch your way out and into the yard, and if you look at the storm for long enough, lightning will randomly reveal one standing in the distance, though it looks much larger than the others in the game, and (don't hate on me for this) it's almost comparable to the mind flayer from stranger things.

[@TacBans]

Oh hey, i remember that iceberg! i actually contributed and got the "Blackdozer shotgun" added on. Nice to see a deep dive into it minor edit: I've heard that the whole "Trashley" thing is due to Ashley trying to connect to the payday base on 4chan, which went about as well as you'd expect. To sweeten the relationship, ashley would post codes of DLC onto the board..... which was overlayed on top of porn/gore, to throw off scalpers (apparently). edit 2: the main thing about HRT units was that back in the day, on deathwish, they'd deal more damage than the fucking Gensec rifleman. so it turned into this meme of a dozer being a cakewalk, but a white shirted dude with an MP5 would tear you an new asshole.

It's still weird to me to see gameplay of someone seriously using the Lion's Roar and Bootleg in heists. I really hope they give SMGs the same amount of love they game the previously really bad ARs. Specifically the Tommy Gun really needs some love.

[@emberz3778]

The Ar's pre buff were already pretty good. They basically over tweaked the guns. The ar's prior to the buff had some advantages over lmgs. They only really needed crits and you can just go for headshots, which can be a lot more doable because they had really good customisation. And the Ar's were better at killing bulldozers than lmgs. In terms of ease of use is where they suffered, now you can basically use them like better lmgs. Lmgs still arent bad, just that you might as well use an ar. Even things like the Bootleg was still alright to use before. It was pretty concealable and had really nice stats. You needed Crits and Berserker aced/Overkill aced and you got a nice assault rifle with lmg like capabilities. Smgs are amazing. High damage ones or mid-low damage smgs (they're very concealable) with crits are really good against bulldozers and can be decent for crowd control. Akimbo smgs can kill so much and especially after the buff that made akimbos not need ammo bags, they're ridiculously amazing.

28:59 I'm guessing HRT being missing is in response to HRT being a real team of people in the FBI, which might have caused some complications somewhere down the line. That's only a guess though, since the FBI are in game, along with a heist where you can raid them and kill members. Difference being no specific team, names, of building locations are mentioned, where as HRT is a very real team that was mentioned that you could also kill.

[@thebluehat6814]

the ingame name of the FBI is "federal berau of intervention" instead of "federal berau of investigation", it's sort of like the GTA 5 thing where they just swapped the letters around and were let go, as for the HRT units missing I assume it's because overkill were too cautious with the entire FBI thing, and instead of renaming the units they just deleted them so you can't upset the FBI by killing them because they simply don't exist in the game

Think of it like Ghoulification in Fallout, practically immortality with a small hint of psychotic nature. Would explain how he's still alive, and maybe three-hands, too.

That, or mind manipulation, he uses the player with his mind

@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 I don't know on that.

so the duke being a time traveler one works if you think "oh, he realises he has to pen the letter to his own grandfater to complete his paradoxical cycle

Been waiting for this video from you! Also, for the Apex PCs, will they be able to run payday 2 with mods fairly well, or are they just tailored for vanilla? I’ve been looking to get a gaming PC and I think your custom ones are a good choice for me.

[@TheKknowley]

When we put these PC's together we actually had speculative specs for Payday 3 in mind. Without a doubt they'll be able to run Payday 2, mods included! The hope is that you'd be relatively future-proofed too!

[@ReverendReverb]

@@TheKknowley thank you! It’s gonna be a definite buy from me then!

[@gabrielhowle2377]

@@ReverendReverb So, how'd it go? Does the PC run well?

[@ReverendReverb]

@@gabrielhowle2377 certainly! Couldn’t ask for a better machine, even the new heists run without any problems!

[@VeggieBLT]

OH SHIT, THANKS DUDE! I was actually working on a video break down of my own, but it's crazy to see an absolute legend tackle this massive project!

[@milico2935]

Update: WE GOT UNREAL ENGINE!!!!

[@llamahawk4449]

Man I haven't touched PD2 for like 3 years and im just discovering that whole secret ending

[@supdude4292]

if the heisters masks are something that has been used to fight the aliens that mean the star spangled banned imprinted on dallas mask is older then the US which is the most american thing ever in the payday universe

[@GlamityJean]

oh dude, the old formula was so bad, I remember the rule of always wait for a second instruction from Bain to be sure it's the correct ingredient

[@phantonormia3790]

the "Every Lobby Is A Split Reality" entry might actually be a joke entry riffing off of Warframe, where the devs have stated multiple times that every individual player's playthrough is considered canon, just in its own timeline.

[@KieranByers]

i feel like this confirms my belief that the payday gang are actually, ironically, the good guys

[@PikaBolaChan]

i’m so glad to see such an interest in payday 2 still!!

[@JimmehRulez]

At 34:54, you should also mention that bodhi's VA is hoxtons visual actor in hoxton breakout.

[@aussietyrant3896]

lmao payday 3 imagine there being a heist where theres just this fucking base in the middle of a massive iceberg hidden in plain sight and you have to get some kind of intel thats hidden deep inside the base of operations

[@Cam_Wight]

I've not played payday in years but I feel weird seeing all these old bugs and stuff be part of an iceberg of lore

[@alexdivision4320]

I've got the mod that revamps assault waves so on top of having more downtime between assault waves we actually get HRTs

[@SethAurelius94]

This iceberg left out something. The reason bane wanted the briefcase in the hardcore henry heist.

[@jewelsvevo8153]

Like I said in the comments of Barfield's Iceberg video for Payday 2 "Heisters can carry over 400lbs" most likely refers to the Aftershock Heist where Vlad claims the Vaults we carry weigh 400lbs

[@Schrodingers_kid]

This video is so good that I could get up this morning,because I watched it for too long at night. Thank you.

[@shadowking4736]

i couldn't stop laughing at Jacket sliding everywhere in big bank LOL

[@TheDrugFreeThrasher]

I believe the hostage rescue units are still in The Crimewave Edition (PS and XBOX) versions of the game. I could be wrong, but I think I remember seeing some of them not too long ago. They’re definitely in the 360 and PS3 versions as those are LONG abandoned.

[@KTheStruggler]

I always thought the heisters can carry 400 pounds was a reference to Vlad's voice line from aftershock

[@quentinmathis1082]

I like the additional TF2 references in the stock ticker; “Bonk!” And “Conagher’s Tool & Munitions”

[@SouperWy]

42:17 tbh this one is actually terrifying. SCP-096+titandozer=fear

[@MrNightStand]

22:28 it bothers me that some people don't know that Jim is short for James.

[@TheSultan1470]

Not US people or English whatever

[@Yamzee]

I'm surprised the iceberg didn't include a "Planned Naruto Crossover" with The Twister mask, would be a funny entry. That mask was a hit back in the early datamining days

[@alexdivision4320]

Jesus Christ I forgot that I sat thru 2 hours of Overdrill in payday 1

[@johnny_baldosa]

I've recently played this game and... Holy cow it's pretty fun and cool

[@potshot5888]

At 9:12 it shows Conagher's tool and munitions, like Dell Conagher the engineer from tf2

[@slyceth]

Actually MarioInATopHat's PSA's are parodies of the REAL Payday 2 psa's by Feldrin!

[@HandsomeLongshanks]

I would love a mode where you could string 7 individual heists or a few multi-day heists into a 7 day heist. I know we have crime spree but I think the idea is workable enough with tweaks to be fun

[@TheSultan1470]

Career mode?

[@EdyAlbertoMSGT3]

How about a 7 day heist that you can simply finish early, or stay for extra rewards, kind of like a mini crime-spree where if you die you lose all rewards

[@pyrogameiack5722]

I think that even Grey's anatomy is canon because the hospital is called mercy

[@petehobson1054]

It is a long time since I watch Hardcore Henry, but I think when Henry is getting a gun from a drawer, we see Jimmy's original mask inside it.
