Anyone playing this?
I got the first one not long after it came out and was really disappointed there was no ability to use any sort of stealth to get through a mission. Once you started the mission the alarms go off and the police (endless hordes of them) show up and it's basically a point and click shooting game at this point.
The first one did have some stealth elements when it came to the police. They were not obvious and sometimes impossible to notice, but if you take out cameras and the sorts, the police will check each floor separately until they find you. If you lose them (Almost impossible) they will repeat the process. You can actually hear them over the chatter clearing the floors I believe. Not really a way to "Hide" or get away, but it gives you some breathing room sometimes.
Hopefully in the second one they offer more obvious reactions to being stealthy and smart about how you approach the robbery.
i love the ability to answer to the cop's radio faking his voice.
i love how every mission is not always the same.
skills are all useful
friendly ai is stupid , just shooting and revive while cops ai is pretty tough.
nice game
... friendly ai is stupid , just shooting and revive while cops ai is pretty tough.The friendly bots are as dumb as stumps, but they also have infinite ammo and soak far more hits than human players can.
The friendly bots are as dumb as stumps, but they also have infinite ammo and soak far more hits than human players can.that's why this game must be played with other 3 friends to enjoy it.

The 2nd one looks like you can employ stealth (keeping hostages subdued, jamming security systems, etc), wondering who's played this and their opinions on it? Does it end up being the same as the first one where you're essentially just trying to shoot a path to freedom?
where you got the last image? it scares me quite a bit :shock:
Blands 2 is just awesome :D
it was somewhat near traumatic.

Level 47 now. Doing only "pro-job very hard" bank heists. Lots of fun. Took 9 mil out of bank yesterday :D Thats almost 500.000 in cash.
Did anyone make more in a single mission?.. THese bank heists usually provide around 300.000 on very hard difficulty..
Great PvE shooter btw, i can see myself playing this until GTA5 comes out :)
steam id: Skinkins
if you want to rob a bank - let me know! banks only.
P.S.
if we fail, i can get upset and start calling you names on the mic, so don't bother, if you can't handle being called a worthless-piece-of-noob-ass-good-for-nothing-whore :D I usually keep my mic off, but sometimes the urge is too hard to resist. just my way of letting steam out, i cool down very quickly!
The bit that pisses me off about Payday is that every fucking update it like 2gb. And for what? Most of the time it's not even new content. It's a massive game for what it actually is.
We only play it when there's a group of 4 of us on though. Couldn't imagine playing with randoms. Only ever completed a couple of missions the stealth route though.
I used to think the same of randoms. Until I tried playing with them. They can be really good, much better than any of my friends.

2 many low levels being annoying and going straight for Overkill/Deathwish heists (most difficult heists) and failing miserably and not knowing what to do.

Yeah but playing with friends usually only last 1 hour or two untill someone has to go. Like 1 lvl per session. If u don't play with pubbies you will be one of those weak (wut am i supposed 2 do?) low levels.
1 level per 2 hours? Are you doing only normal heists? At almost 70 I often get 1 level per heist.
I also definitely had total morons at rank 80+ but it's true people start to know how the game works by that level.
I feel this game could do a much better job at letting you play with less than 4 humans. As it stands you can only do some stealthy things alone, or only normal difficulty which makes things incredibly grindy.
How to make missions easy with randomers.
Step 1: Make sure they're over level 70
Step 2: If stealthing scream in caps in chat ''STAY IN THE FUCKING VAN'' or ''BE CAREFUL'' and ''FOLLOW MY LEAD FUCKERS!''
Step 3: In loadout make sure everyone got equipment that benefits the team
Step 4: If necessary write in all caps when going loud when you need a medkit/ammo etc...
Step 5: When going loud get good gear yourself that you can carry the team with if needed.
Step 6 : Make sure at least one of the crew have the " inspire " skill.

That's why its better to go Techforcer with Iron Man Aced and C4s ready to use as well as fully upgraded Armored Skill deck.
Maximum armor and no need to QQ for help. Unless you play on DW. Then you dun goofd.
I find stealth to be more fun than loud on most missions. Only in some of them do you really have to wait ages or have RNGesus smile to you. The train heist is by far the worst offender. Don't even bother stealthing that.
Tank is the way of the smart one .
2 many stealth kiddies nowadays. And stealth kiddies shouldn't talk about stealth being the pro way (more like easy way) especially since they can (iirc its not patched) get perks to make them be 100% invincible while crouching thanks to fucked up dodge stats with the right perks.
So hard 2 play amirite
Is it me or the hitman perk tree is really crappy? It's the akimbo one.
lol only pussies do stealth, i regularly use dodge on loud missions that has been patched ages ago, max now is 75%
with dodge, i have the speed to get around the map to revive teammates, escape danger or complete objectives. paired with a 50%-75% chance to for shots to be completely harmless
and it is alot harder to use, Standing still, a dodge build only has 25% chance to dodge the bullets, this means that you gotta keep moving or find some cover. way of the pro, not crunching on health+armor to survive.
Techforcer still number 1.
Maximum Armor and i can blow up doors. Oh and rape ppl with LMGs/Sniper Rifles and if shields come (gg that you aced Iron Man) rape them hard with your spear of freedom which you also got the melee damage upgrade aced for so you can kill every enemy with 1-2 hits with the exception of Dozers, Tazers and Cloakers.
Hitman is pretty bad indeed, same as muscle, never used them.
I have the melee damage perk too, don't need to knock down shields when I can run circles around me. Ivan use lmgs and sniper rifles just as well. Counterattack means I can melee kill any cloaker who jumps at me
ECMs can open doors and stun groups of cops
You underestimate muscle, armorer may help u get across a street just fine. But muscle will carry through a entire heist

Got around 20 hours on game now, level 70. Got two fast questions :
1/ How to get quickly weapon upgrades instead of having masks/colors shit at end of missions.
2/ What kind of perks would you advise for someone who would like to be both discret/fast, and medic/light fighter (armed with modified AK5, and going to buy a good desert eagle as a backup weapon). I find it difficult to win on levels like when you have to free Hoxton, with shitton of ennemies and heavy guys, or when I come in stealth mode, but someone goes full retard and set up the alarm. Muscle, Rogue, or Hitman ?
I believe 5 € aren't that armful about weapon mods.
And yes, I did ace all pistol perks/silenced perks I could, without forgetting running/support perks from ghost and fugitive. Will try to paste my current skill tree, but I'm probably going to respec it when I'll reach rank 100.
planning to buy it, anyone would like to play?
