    Can you beat Payday 2 as the Engineer?
    Rules:
    -Only weapons that resemble Engineer's shotguns, his pistol and his wrenches are allowed;
    -Only deployables allowed are sentry guns and ECMs (because those two seem like something Engineer would have)
    -No throwables because there are no grenades in TF2

    Vanilla mod pack actually fixes the unsupressed revolver problem.
    It adds a pistol suppressor (IIRC it’s called the Low Profile Compensator) which actually is able to be equipped on the Bronco.
    Obviously I’m late on this, but still. It’s a mod pack I’d genuinely recommend. It’s balanced super well, and while a few things seem a bit extreme at first, they have heavy downsides to even it out. Plus it comes with some new weapons. (No revolvers though, unfortunately.)
    Edit: the convert swapping is indeed a Vhud plus thing. It’s so nice to have, honestly.

    6:23 It's not that they cant be suppressed just that it is a real pain to do so because of the gap between the front of the cylinder and the rear of the barrel. You would kind of have to design the entire weapon around covering or bridging this gap.

      @@ManicObsevations More that they don't work to the fullest as the gap allows much of the initial of the bang of the primer and powder load detonating to be heard even with a suppressor attached. The Nagant revolvers get around this by having the rear of the barrel flared open and the mouth of the cylinder holes made so that they can fit into it making a decent seal. At the moment of firing a mechanism moves the cylinder forward to accomplish this and moves it back after firing. Though working with a suppressor wasn't the reason that this mechanism was added. Surprisingly, it was originally added to get more power out of a cartridge by preventing the loss of force as a result of the aforementioned gap.

    One thing to note on the No Mercy stealth:
    There will ALWAYS be one doctor in the back room that runs directly for the alarm button (even if not alerted) ~10 seconds after you mask up, regardless of player count or difficulty (as long as the difficulty is high enough for the back rooms to have civs in them). And then around ~30 seconds after you mask up another one runs directly to the alarm button. It wouldn't be all that hard to counter once you figured it out, but the very annoying thing is once the crouching animation plays for the civ its impossible to alert him in order to be able to get him to stop. It's honestly a little BS in my opinion, and it makes the heist really hard to stealth when playing solo.

    An idea that is not super difficult but rather limiting is the idea of only being able to use one skill tree set (Mastermind, Enforcer, Technician, Ghost, or Fugitive). You have complete control over all of your weapons, equipment, armor, and perk deck, but your skills are trapped to three trees. For example, if you pick Fugitive, you HAVE to run the Gunslinger, Revenant, and Brawler trees. Nothing else. As I said, shouldn't be too hard, but definitely limits your capabilities.

    Sticking with the TF2 theme, Heavy could be fun. But maybe not exactly challenging. In any case, here are some ideas.
    -Primary limited to the minigun, (not the microgun, as that's shoulder mounted)
    -Secondary limited to the Locomotive and GSPS shotguns (as they resemble the stock shotgun and family business)
    -Deployable limited to First Aid Kits, reskinned to Sandviches
    -Melee limited to the fists, 350k brass knuckles, OVERKILL Boxing Gloves, and the cash. ("It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon...")
    -Perk deck limited to Muscle, as let's be honest, Heavy is an 800lb Gorilla.
    Difficulty in stealth will come from the lack of body bags, ECM's, etc, all blocked by the FAK requirement and poor concealment unless you allow the microgun. However, the shotguns can be suppressed and can corpse launch. Careful corpse placement and sixth sense preplanning assets could offset the lack of deployables. Difficulty in loud will come in the form of ammo management and the decision between snipers or shields. The minigun can't handle either of them, and the shotgun can't have slug rounds and flechette rounds at the same time.
    That's the end of my initial idea. However, I still think that challenge is pretty doable. So I was able to come up with one more idea... but it might absolutely skyrocket the difficulty, so take this with a grain of salt. Heavy is the slowest class in TF2, so he shouldn't benefit from any movement skills. That means Duck and Cover basic and Parkour basic are not allowed, thus locking out the entire Artful Dodger tree. Not only would this make dodging completely impossible, but it could also cause a potential difficulty spike just by the limitation on movement. As you've demonstrated with Spy, so many difficult situations can be avoided just by hauling ass at mach 4 away from the enemy. Stealth too would become that much more difficult, again because of that limited movement. "What about Transporter Aced", I hear you ask? That should probably still be allowed. First, it's removing the bag moving penalty, not increasing the player's base speed. Second, the Heavy would easily be able to lift heavy items with his monstrous strength.

    Since we're coming up on the 10-year anniversary of Payday 2 (and the release window of Payday 3), here's a thematically appropriate challenge run suggestion: The "Payday Generations" Challenge, named after the Sonic game, for reasons that will be gone into below - and could be a sequel of sorts to the Time Traveller challenge.
    In this, the Dentist and the Kataru mess about with Baldwin's Lament just a little too much and create a time crash, causing the gangs of Payday: The Heist and Payday 2 to meet up with each other. Now, both sets of gangs have got to go through the highlights of the Payday heisting career - past and present - together, in order to correct the timeline (or something).
    Rules:
    -10 heists have to be cleared; 3 from Payday: The Heist, 3 from the beginning half of Payday 2, 3 from the latter half of Payday 2, and ending with the White House, in chronological order.
    -Each heist in the challenged needs to be cleared as the "Classic" gang and the "Modern" gang, meaning 20 heist clears total will be needed for this challenge.
    -"Classic" runs can only be done as heisters from Payday: The Heist (Dallas, Chains, Hox, Wolf), with weapons only from Payday: The Heist and using the Classic Heisting Reborn mod to replicate the original's difficulty, AI and enemies (somewhat). "Modern" runs have no heister or weapon restrictions and can be done under standard Payday 2 gameplay.
    -"Classic" runs have to be done on Overkill difficulty (under CHR), "Modern" runs have to be done on Death Wish.
    -All skills and AI crewmates are allowed for both runs.
    -In order to not break stealth runs in half due to the way that CHR works, any "Classic" run that can be done loud must be done loud with the exception of the White House (if you wish to). "Modern" runs can be done under any available strategy.
    -For the White House, one run has to be done with the Normal Ending, and the other the True Ending. You can decide which gang goes for which ending.
    -For heists to choose for the challenge, it'd be a good idea to pick the ones that are the most recognisable in the community/have the biggest story presence throughout the series in the aforementioned categories, such as First World Bank, Hotline Miami, Hoxton Breakout and Hell's Island (to name a few candidates). You can always ask the community for suggestions if it comes down to it.
    -Unique Lifeline: Time Warp, which allows the Classic Gang to operate under the Modern Gang's rules for one "Classic" heist.

    I feel like out of the other tf2 classes heavy and maybe scout would be intresting:
    Heavy:
    -only minigun and maybe shotgun secondary
    -only ICTV as soon as possible (or mods could be used to get it)
    -no movement speed increase, that basically means no skills in artful dodger tree (second wind allowed so you can have acces to silent killer skills)
    -health based perk deck
    Scout:
    -only shotguns and maybe pistol secondary
    -movement focused (interpret it however you feel will make for the best content)
    -dodge based or yakuza perk deck
    -no armor, only suit
    -maybe forced frenzy to make you more fragile so it will be more challenging, but this might be a bit too much
    -maybe a rule so that you need to finish heist in certain amount of time, although I'm not sure how you could decide how long is too long
    I feel like other classes won't be that interesting or difficult: Pyro might be, but it might be too easy, annoying or not that entertaining; Soldier would be a demoman rip off; Engineer also might be interesting, but I don't really know how it could be made difficult and interesting; Sniper would be too easy I think; I don't know how you could make Medic so that it would make sense.
    That's a long comment, but anyway good luck on future challenges, they make for great content and I can't wait to see more.

    Watching this video made me have a new appreciation for the Go Bank. Instead having the players just idly wait for 5 minutes for the drill/vault, the game throws stuff to deal with to the players. Making the gameplay more engaging during that period. And it needs to throw enough stuff at the players to challenge a multiplayer crew. If the challenges are easily dealt by a single player, the other three are just going to sit there with thumbs up their asses. And contrary to what you're implying, it's not possible to have challenges come up in a way that can be dealt by one player, but at the same time be challenging to a full crew of 4.
    So in my opinion, designing missions in a co-op game with the difficulty balanced around the single-player experience is the real miserable design trap to fall into. And balancing co-op missions in co-op game with the assumption it will be played co-operatively, the only sane design choice.

    I think a good idea of fixing the Bag throwing SIM aspect of the game would be an (I think at least) pretty easy overhaul of the system. Make the bags percentage based. You can pack let's say 5 big jewellery pieces like the watches and stuff because one would be 20%. Let's say 3 or 2 assault rifles etc etc. I think it would be ok and cut the time of walking around. Obviously it's not perfect but I would find it better to throw 2 full bags of jewelry instead of 10 because I doubt watches take that much space in that huge bag

    Considering we are continuing with the TF2 theme, Can you beat Payday 2 as the Scout?
    -considering Scout is about maneuverability, the build has to be based on dodge and movement speed. So something like a Rogue build makes sense for this run. Yakuza would be fine too if you plan to utilize the movement speed boost for Stealth.
    -Weapons allowed would be shotguns for primaries, even better if its a lever action shotgun, as Scout's scattergun is pretty much a modified lever action. Semi automatic pistols for secondaries, and a baseball bat for melee. No usage of deployables would be preferable. Throwables would preferably be banned as well, considering baseballs and christmas ball decorations are not a thing in Payday 2.

    - you must play the character's respective perk deck (and maybe weapons too)
    - all heists are to be played on death sentence (with or without ai, your choice)
    - if you fail a heist, the character you were playing as "dies" and can no longer be played (as such, their weapons and perk deck is no longer accessable either)
    - if all characters "die", you lose (and have to start the entire career mode again)
    - (optional) leech and stoic (maybe hacker?) are banned, and duke (and joy if hacker is banned) becomes a "wildcard" character (can play any allowed deck, regardless of whether or not the character said deck's character is "alive")

  • @lovingryza1755
    @lovingryza1755 Рік тому +1

    I have made a spy build in payday 2 before and it's a fun way to play. Instead of hacker I would use Sicario since he has 100% dodge within the smoke, almost as if he was temporarily invisible. And while I can't remember all the perks I used, I focused on the pistol skills as well as melee and crits. Using the skills that make melee hits incredibly powerful makes backstabbing the Heav- I mean Bulldozer a satisfying kill despite it being risky. I used the Castigo revolver since it looked the most like a gun Spy would own and used akimbo Judge Shotguns as my primary. While Spy doesn't ever use a shotgun in Tf2 a Judge Shotgun with slugs is pretty close to a revolver while also having the benefit of countering shields.
    And while it conflicts with Sicario and Hacker it's fun to think that there is an electrocuting grenade that could easily pass as a sapper with the added benefit of frying some cops while you're at it.

    Another neat challenge run idea:
    How far can you get in Payday 2 with ONLY base game gear?
    (definitely a challenge and not being too poor to afford all of the DLC in the game)
    In a game where the weapons, perk decks, and attachments are plentiful and powerful: what if we were to throw those away and stick to the most basic of tools?
    The rules are simple:
    If a weapon has no DLC / Community / Event tag, it can be used.
    Same rule applies to attachments, melee weapons, and throwables.
    If a perk deck does not require DLC / Community, it can be used.
    (Bonus for using base game masks, materials and patterns.)
    Stealth is optional.
    I'd like to see if base game gear can at the very least make it to the end on the highest difficulty and maybe compete with the modern day gear. Not everyone is getting a nice payday nowadays, so this is for the heisters who barely scrape by daily.
