    Got an idea for a challenge. Start at level 100, and beat the campaign. The twist? Once you start the first mission, you can't change your loadout. This means your build must be able to complete all heists. We can call it the Payday world tour.

      Maybe Hacker? It's great in stealth and serviceable in loud (especially compared to other dodge decks). You can do a full pistol build with crits. Duel silenced pistols primary and a piercing pistol secondary. Basic first aid and ecm skills.

    Awesome speedrun! I was lucky to witness the final part of the livestream, and the tension was very entertaining. The stakes are so high when the run is this long... looking forward to possibly more runs in May!

    Congrats on 100k! Speedrunning is something that I always wanted to get into, but there aren't many games that I'd consider myself good enough at and I start feeling burnout much quicker than the average person, I'd say. I'd hate to practice one of my favorite games so much that it ends up feeling like a chore that I can't stand doing. It may not be the thing for me, but I have nothing but respect for the general speedrunning community and the things they do (not to mention how entertaining speedruns are and how absurd some of the strats that people come up with can be.)

I do the 4 turrets for loud so thats all the same lol.

    I run Mallcrasher twice as the first thing for some XP after going infamous since it's very quick and very easy, and I don't like Payday's stealth...
    Best I've found is to bring any silenced gun, shoot up the cafe downstairs, when you go grab the gas can, get the on further away first. The one closer to the front door you can actually cheese as it's close enough to pick up the through the wall which makes a second trip much faster.
    The first gas is probably best spent on the barbershop since it's closest, the second for the gym so you can easily move to the Pear shop and the Car.
    If you can delay going loud and shoot enough windows as you move along, you can even hit the requirement before the police assault arrives (except possibly on Death Wish and Death Sentence) and then it's just waiting for Bile.

    Examples:
    By pressing Enter in pre-planning, you instantly ready up
    Using direction keys or WASD (probably) to move around the menu.
    You can leave the heist really fast by doing this
    Esc (to open menu) + Up + Enter + Left or Right (any direction in x axis) + Enter

    33:22 actually why not just walk upstairs and trigger an instant start. they get hostile when you go up. don't even need to go in the room and put the money bag

    for a 8 hour+ speedrun, the run isnt bad at all! Because alot of sections in this game are RNG based, so its actually pretty good, if you're going to do it again(i doubt) i hope you'll have good RNG
