What is the HARDEST Achievement in Payday 2

[@Rogeryoo]

Speaking of they see me baggin', I actually had completed this by accident not too long ago. I, at least, wasn't even trying it, we just had some people run transporter, throw the bags to the second floor, then just carry them by foot the rest of the way. Honestly forgot I hadn't even finished it before. Kinda interesting seeing how it was considered a really tough achievement back then, but now you can just do it without even really thinking about it.

[@zaprothe0verlord]

Same, I literally got it last night!

[@sokolov49]

[@HarmonyParuko]

@@bodhiblack731 exactly how i got it solo. took like 4 resets but i eventually made it in time

[@MyStolenUser]

I use to play with friends on Console and the reason why the Difficulty achievements on Crimwave are so low is because they don't work backwards like on PC. Doing a heist on DW doesn't count as doing it on OVK, compared to PC where you do a new heist on DS and get 50 achievements playing the heist once.

[@ArcticTheArcticFoxPL]

I remember the time when I almost got the Dr.Misreable, because I was playing in a public lobby and someone bagged all engines. We secured every wrong engine until there were two engines left. We agreed to wait the few more minutes and get a rare achievement. We sent the correct engine, meaning we spent over an hour for nothing

[@fiyahquacker2835]

First time I did it was online on the ps3 version but that was also unintentional and before ei learned how to figure out the right one and was what inspired me to learn how to get the right one.

[@JimTheFly]

@@fiyahquacker2835 I just realized that Dr. Miserable is apparently a trophy on the PS3 version of Payday 2 but not the PS4 version... Also, it still amuses me that I'll do Big Oil and tell people "No, it's definitely this engine" and they'll freak out like "HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW THAT???" Even to this day.

[@wizzem7890]

I did it because I didn't stealth the first day because I really, REALLY hate stealth so I had zero idea what to do. I sent every single engine and due to my consistently horrible luck it was the last one that was correct. The funny thing is because I play on console my game glitched and deleted my save. When I did the heist again for the story, the exact same thing happened. The last one I sent was correct. I spent over an hour each time.

I think one down, no more to go is the hardest achievement in current day pd bar none. Yeah, caution wet floors is hard but u can get it done with a couple hours of grinding. The end achievement is a lot easier today and can also be completed fairly easily if u have friends. In comparison one down, no more to go requires a lot of skill, a good team (depending on the heist)& a massive time investment. P.S. also every few months you don't complete this it gets harder

[@Lakita2880]

That last bit is what makes it the hardest IMO. If you don't own even a single one of the Heist DLC's, it is literally impossible without spending real money to get that achievement. I can't even get the Normal difficulty mask unless I spend $15+ (I think) to buy the heists added after Border Crossing. As they're the only ones I haven't played...since I don't own them lol

[@Okusar]

6:53 Perk decks were already in the game by the time Tabula Rosa was added. Perk decks were added on day 5 of Crimefest 2014, whereas Hoxton Breakout, along with Tabula Rosa, were added about a week later on day 12. Though certainly some of the perk decks we have now are a lot better than what existed at the time. The main reasons Tabula Rosa is much easier now than it was originally is slightly better weapons thanks to boost mods and the AK/CAR mod pack, the ability to bring deployables such as doc bags or first aid kits (previously all of them were tied to skills), and the ability to equip crew abilities and crew boosts to AI teammates such as Accelerator and Quick.

[@8stormy5]

It was also back with the old skill trees. Not that bad since you can't use skill points anyways, until you remember that deployables were only unlocked by spending your first skill point in their respective trees.

[@tyranidswarmlord9722]

I remember beating Tabula Rasa both Deathwish solo and with regular bruhs, this was before Grinder was released. Gods damn that was amazing. Everything felt incredibly easier after that. Admittedly we got good RNG with the crew i used to derp around with.

[@Beavcoon]

I remember getting “farmer miserable” on solo overkill and it was complete hell. Took me like an hour and a half just to get all the goats and i almost died about 3/4 through. Almost got “doctor miserable” on accident just cause i didnt know how to find the right engine, but i got it right on the second to last one. Although I learned the trick since then Big Oil is probably my least played heist because of the trauma of that experience.

[@atanarix5346]

Wet floors was certainly a frustrating achievement, but it can be somewhat easier if you run grinder/anarchist with a turret and ammo bags on overkill so you can focus on the escort, the biggest pain of an achievement out of all for me was DSOD lab rats.

[@youtubenotifications2150]

I have played with a large variety of mods in the past and I've definitely been rewarded with otherwise hard to get achievements that I did not deserve by accident Nothing too major and nothing I couldn't pull off now without mods after getting so many hours in About a year and a half ago I began a grind to legitimately get my remaining achievements and there have been moments where I've only been one away but didn't have the dlc needed at that moment Then another dlc would come out just before I got the last one I needed --- With the introduction of infamy 3.0 I put it on a hold until I get to infamy 100, I'm currently on 77 but haven't been playing as much recently

[@DoctorAllanGrey]

Note; the 'i did not have relations with that bulldozer' tracks completion across multiple heists. You just need to be wearing the mask when reviving people. So you can probably knock that one down in terms of difficulty. I've gotten a couple of these ones by accident, and several on purpose. I went out of my way to complete The Secret, along with three other friends. I was the unlucky one who had to complete Overdrill to unlock it too, Lol. So we did that too.

[@PyrrhaNikos115]

At least you didn’t have to complete The Sound of Silence. I’d rather do Overdrill 100 times than complete the Allesso Heist without killing anyone, and you can quote me on that. Do note I didn’t just equip ICTV Anarchist and cheese me way by going loud, I actually did it stealthily as intended-

As a casual player for me it was "High Roller". Playing quickly, especially solo is not a strong suit of mine, always a :Take your time" kinda guy so clearing the mission within 14 minutes was tough.

The sheer anger I experienced while completing Tabula Rasa is borderline unmatched, I had no friends to help with me so I had to do this solo, without AI assisting me, on Overkill difficulty, with really bad guns. Safe to say, I'm glad I never have to experience Tabula Rasa ever again.

I started playing Payday 2 on the ps3 maybe around 2014 or 2015, I honestly don't remember They See Me Baggin' as a difficult achievement as I wasn't even aware i had unlocked it after months of playing. Same for the random players I met online there. I remember having more of a waaaay difficult time with Guessing Game taking me 2 weeks to achieve. (Short Fuse was also kind of difficult too since it was challenging to find random players with mics and actually cooperative on the PS3)

[@roy3079]

I had the platinum for both ps3 and ps4 versions and I can easily say that the short fuse and sounds of animals fighting were the hardest for me as a solo player. I had to look for teams on forums for both, short fuse taking not too long to do so, but sounds of animals fighting took me nearly 6 years on and off reddit to do since I didn't go for the achievement when it was first released. I always prayed they would change it so AI counted for the trophy but unless they've done it since I completed it in mid 2021 then it's nearly impossible to find people on console in general because it's heavily neglected with a near dead playerbase. Hoping Payday 3 will at least be more generous on console and/or allow for cross platform so achievement hunting and heisting in general is easier and more fun.

Wet Floors is a good contender for #2, but we let the same friend that escaped GSOD do it for us while we provided cover from the scaffolding. One time he got tazed mid-jump and we all absolutely lost it.

Doing the secret ending itself isn't actually all that hard. I'm not referring to all the prerequisites and all the knowledge of the riddles and all that, only the heist itself. All you need to do is, do the heist in Offline mode and bring 4 turrets with the skill for AP rounds and one ammo bag (just in case really, ammo wasn't a problem for me). Set up the turrets to defend you before activating the gate and then make screenshots of the riddles as they appear. Then you can pause the game, figure out the answers and even determine how often you need to pull each lever without any ammo being wasted while you do that. Then unpause and put in your answers, while your turrets keep the cloakers off of you with high ammo efficiency. Check every now and then that your turrets still have enough ammo, but that's quick and easy.

I remember way back when the game first released, They See Me Baggin’ was completely absurd. Now, it isn’t that bad. Pre-Grinder Tabula Rasa was also fairly annoying, but keep in my mind this was like PEAK Rogue only days. There were some achievements that were mechanical-based that more often than not just bugged out for me, despite meeting the requirements. I remember the Scarface Mansion and Shacklethorne speedrun achievements just irritating me because 9/10 times, I’d get so close to completion then have the game do it’s usual thing of constantly doing whatever the hell it wants. Short Fuse I remember not being all too bad because usually the goal of the lobby back then was to get every last bag. So all I really had to do was host, ask people who joined to spec into Fast Hands or whatever that Ghost skill was that upped your interaction time, open all briefcases before bagging a single bundle, asked them not to defuse the C4 and throw the bags out the window. Usually worked. The all-time worst achievement was Farmer Miserable on release. Goat Sim ran like ass and it was rare to make it to Day 2 and not crash. The only reason I got it was a cheater was in the lobby and we managed to convince him to stay and the do the achievement for us. That was before I reset my account and just beat it normally because, as things tend to go, when have 4000+ hours, one heist for 40+ minutes isn’t as bad as it used to be when you have Anarchist and Bots. Most difficulty-based achievements now aren’t as bad as people think once they learn the game, make a competent build and learn the map. Though on release of One Down, it was a different story. I still have PTSD from Lab Rats though. I have ran that map maybe 4 times in my entire life and will never play it again. Bomb: Forest is just a slog. More often than not, I ran Demo Expert to get the best spawns, if I didn’t I reset. It was mostly just waiting for Fades constantly to move so it was more of a time sink. I remember when I got The End, my plan was really simple. It was an Overkill achievement, so it wasn’t all too hard, having every other achievement in the game already helped a lot ngl. I ran Poison Arrows, Shuriken and I think Anarchist or Muscle. If not them then it was something basic that basically kept me safe while I focused on the last word of the riddle and solved it while the bots shot anything that moved.

Pre Grinder Tabula Rasa DW is 👌.

[@yaboiikenz6483]

Me and two of my buddies tried auction cry on shacklethorne, all of us were so close but my friend disconnected last second to get us the achievements, never forget

[@ianmurdoch26]

The sound of silence, was a nightmare for me, back when i was playing pd2 day in day out, my internet was no good for stealth lobbys, so i had to solo that..

[@mouthwide0pen]

Stealth? The only rule of Sound of Silence is that you cannot kill anyone. Theres no rules as to what difficulty you can play, or whether or not you have to be silent. Do it loud. Play on normal, use an ICTV and equip Sicario. They wont be able to down you. Cuff you, maybe, but one friend with the same loadout should be able to uncuff you if you bring one along (and that doesnt require good connection). Just make sure to disable Crew AI so they dont go in guns blazing, and ruin it for you. Work smarter, not harder.

[@etourdie]

The most challenging things for solving the secret weren't in game, and even still for the final puzzle that you need to do, it's a normal heist till you get there, no major execution issues, compared to never making a single mistake for an entire heist

[@thanhool]

Im currently stuck on "Not today." The biggest problem has been bots killing the cloaker.

[@bogdeer4966]

Play on lab rats, a cloaker will spawn at the start most of the time.

[@holyelixir4580]

Golden grin holdout was rough but the most annoying one for me was the green bridge achievement where you couldn't touch the flooe

[@SzajKornik]

"Didn't act dumb" Should be the name of the L4D2 achievement where you cant trigger any car alarms.

[@noobtube4616]

I find the hardest part about most of these being finding people that don’t suck at the game

[@kotzpenner]

We did Farmer Miserable some months ago. We got to exactly 60 mins at finish lol. Was a nice coincidence.

[@Markoman98]

I don't remember "caution wet floors" giving me much trouble, as i did it solo 2nd attempt, and helped a friend do it 1st attempt by making sure im nearby to get the escort back up.

[@MadBunny312]

Will you make a “Payday 2 Mods in 2022?” There are lots of new mods and I got my pc not too long ago for Christmas.

[@TristanVaughn-sy4zq]

I remember getting the whole game done mostly solo DS cuz randoms screwed me had the handful I had some help with. Just to realize you get the mask in the cards on the console.

[@Marzalification]

Shackelthrone auction under 5min solo and grind to infamy 100 were some that I still remember.

[@JACKELincorporated]

Even though me and the others had to do it a second time since one guy accidentally brought armor, I had alot of fun getting tabula rasa and still speak to the randoms I did it with from time to time

[@CMDRSweeper]

A lot of these achievements weren't there for me back when I used to play Payday 2. 2013 to 2014, where an update in February just made me park the game, and it has been parked since then.

[@andrehashimoto8056]

My gripe with some hard or plain BS achievments is that THEY HAVE WEAPON MODS LOCKED BY THEM (Most BS NOTORIOUSLY the CAR and AK butcher pack ones, one of which with FOUR MODS needing it being a FOUR PLAYER ONLY achievment and another that needs a SPEEDRUN of a specific heist)

[@andrehashimoto8056]

Or one that needs four players being one about completing heists WITH each player USING masks belonging to the DLC

[@andrehashimoto8056]

Another issue with the "complete all heists" at or above certain difficulty level, is that DLC heists ARE part of it.... And i am NOT someone in a place with enough players hosting PD2 games to try, meaning i HAVE to now buy ANY DLC with a heist, go and run it within the difficulty needed, while relying on the wonk AI support that isn't as useful past Mayhem without either a mod to boost their AI or put them with LMGs and hope you can do the heists as optimally as possible.

[@ToastyHaymaker]

6:55 funny enough perk decks became a thing during the same first crimefest that released Breakout, but yes none of them were the ones you built your loadout around like nowadays

[@KptnYggdra]

The hardest achievement I have obtained is Sound Of Silence, not only do you have to be a passive, but you have to make sure you don't bump into guards, accidentally break cameras, have severe trigger discipline, and carry all needed loot. I will admit, I did it on Normal, solo with AI, which not only made the Loot part harder, but it took me quite some time as I don't do stealth enough to even consider myself having any skill in it, It took me countless times of trial and error to nearly gather all possible knowledge to know where to place sensor mines so I can easily keep track of guards. I still proudly wear that Boombox mask from the day I got it, albeit, with the Rainbow Material and Hexagon pattern and turned it into the "Box of Shielding", I wear it anytime I decide to go loud and the other 5% of the time if I decide to go stealth, I normally use the standard Britnite mask or Batshit Crazy goggles.

[@CarrotIsBad]

Lol just do that one loud

[@KptnYggdra]

@@CarrotIsBad It's a stealth only achievement.

[@fiyahquacker2835]

@@KptnYggdra the way I did it was to dominate 4 specific guards out of sight of any cams (since like with big bank the cams aren't too annoying) then do the same with civs that could see them then just stealth it normally as ya do. The 4 guards are the 2 in the basement where you get the loot and the 2 guards on the second floor that patrol in the same area as the burger boy and the woman that walks around where you generally have to take the loot to in stealth.

[@CarrotIsBad]

@@KptnYggdra nope, that’s how I did it a long time ago. Take any deck with natural regen and it’s a free achievement.

[@mouthwide0pen]

@@KptnYggdra Where does it say Stealth? It doesnt. Do it on normal. Wear an ICTV. Equip Sicario. Get a buddy with the same gear, just in case you get cuffed. Now, the cops can't kill you. And at no point do you actually need to kill THEM either.

[@flyingturret208thecannon5]

“I don’t think many even knows what mania is.” Me, who ran Manic perk deck for a while: *death noises*

[@florianizer]

RBR was certainly the most rewarding completion back in the day, but I always chose to do achievements solo when possible. This made timed achievements like the one for Scarface mansion really difficult. I'll never forget finishing 12 Angry Minutes with a time of 11:58 solo stealth. Also, big thanks to Mr Wombat for walking me through The End!

[@fadedgaming6824]

I failed Dr.Miserable 3 years back because we forgot which drill was the correct one, on the final 2 bags

[@MyUsersDark]

So far i "only" have 680 achievements, but one of the most frustrating i can think of is "Sound of Silence" - Complete the Alesso heist without your crew killing anyone. (Stated in Description:) Your AIs' kills do count. I chose to do this loud (on Normal, to be basically invincible lol), since it doesn't have to be stealth. Since i was not able to kill the cops, they could endlessly shut off the computer/power, without me being able to respond. This slowed down the hacking by about 4 attempts (atleast 5 or 8 minutes each) and 10 minutes. On one occasion cops stormed into the camera room while i was fixing the computer and i got stuck, and the cops proceeded to rapidly melee me into a corner. In my panic to get out i proceeded to melee a cop to death, rendering the run void. But after restarting, eventually, the hack did complete, and it was much easier from there. Though to place the c4 i would have to drive the forklift, which would kill any cops if i drove into them. Luckily the cops hadn't reached me yet so i just parked the forklift under the c4 placement. Everything else was relatively easy from there on out. The pyrotechnics were just avoiding the cops until i had to press the button(s) and fix the hardware whenever needed. Then i just cut out the loot, grabbed 3 bags (Normal difficulty requirement), brought them up to the container and left. At the end i was just holding my breath for the achievement to pop. Luckily it did

[@jpluis5263]

I tried that one twice so far, and in my first attempt i got meleed to death, and on the second i got past the hacking, but got handcuffed while doing the pyrotechnics, congrats on being built different

[@MyUsersDark]

@@jpluis5263 Thanks, i almost got meleed to death in that one instance (when i panicked to leave the camera room), but i hadn't even thought about the handcuffs. Good luck if you're gonna reattempt it though!

[@fiyahquacker2835]

@@jpluis5263 my advice would be to dominate the the guards on the bottom lvl and the 2 guards that patrol the 2 possible areas for loot in stealth then cable tie the 3 civs nearby and be careful. This was done on ds so it would definitely be easier on overkill or below but alesso on ds-od stealth just makes sense to me.

[@mouthwide0pen]

If you have an ICTV + Sicario, they basically can't kill you. It's still a lot easier if you've got a friend.
