It's cool to know that the existence of the Murkywater PMC prevented the events of Left 4 Dead by destroying Mercy hospital and took a whole new timeline.
My god. I was literally just trying to figure out the story of payday today for a little personal project I’m working on. Wow! This is divine assistance or just really good timing.
Makes sense when you know that the Mercy Hospital mission was a co-op with Valve and literally has Bill from L4D potentially showing up in the elevator at the start of that heist.
Ngl, the storyline mode made PAYDAY's lore chronology really confusing, especially when it comes to the mix of classic heists in there. Can't wait to watch the next episode when it comes out, good stuff
@@mrgrinderman8861 Classics are really confusing. No Mercy is 100% a flashback (even tho Payday The Heist version of No Mercy is not canon), Green Bridge in PD:TH is also not canon, it is in Payday 2. The rest of them are did second time.
I'm waiting for 2nd part cause i want to know mokre about Payday crew. Love this video, one of the best videos abput Payday series i've ever seen. Waiting for more.
When the first game came out i wanted Christian Bale to be Hoxton, Ice Cube to be Chains, and Jason Statham as Wolf. When i saw Bain’s design for the sequel i thought he looked like Jeff Imada Also i loved the game is just a combination of Batman and Heat
I remember the days when payday was fairly new and so many people were searching for "THE SECRET" even looking at flickering lights trying to translate that to morse code or trying to find things outside of the map on the old safehouse map. Good ol days
Absolutley amazing. The depth is incredible with there being even some things I, another longtime payday 2 player obsessed woth its lore, didnt even know. You need to keep this series up man. I cant wait for part 2!
Really well made. Also, is it just me or PD:TH looks better in most ways than PD2? Maps, textures, units, civs (we have in payday2 1 model for a manager for all the heists, why? Including First world bank that had a diff manager in PD:TH) the lightning and some of the guns like spas12 or the m4. The reloads look a bit weird tho, understandable for how much older this is than Payday2.
Payday 2 should make Payday the heist Remastered DLC where you will experience Payday the heist with their old task and Old Enemy Character model with payday 2 mechanism
Mercy Hospital is a direct link to L4D it's the location you're headed to in the first L4D game. You even get Special Infected Masks in Payday the Heist from the mission. (plus Bill can show up in the elevator at the heist start.) It was a co-op thing Overkill did with Valve.
This lore explaining series is great but i would love to see a small series where you explain how the secrets were discovered and puzzles solved after this series is over
Your description of Chains reminds me of Masterson in killing floor “But, as is always noted, he's a rough diamond, a man of few polite words and has an unnaturally calm demeanor in combat situations. Pretty much everyone reckons this is due to his lack of imagination, empathy and intelligence. Luckily, he directs his men decisively and always gets the job done - no matter how unsavory that job would appear to anyone with good taste or decent manners.” Still sad there was never a crossover and now kf2 is dead there’s 0 chance
never knew anything about Undercover being linked to Hector. thought that Bain just sort of "knew" him and called him up after Overdrill. also, will you cover the Halloween heists? or are they non-canon?
I think Prison Nightmare has some features worth mentioning. None of the others are canon though so probably won't appear in any of the main story videos.
They are basicly just a wierd dream that gang suffers on each halloween, there is no reason for them not to be cannon, they don't break the lore in any way.
Love me some deep game lore. Big props to you for the effort put in this video and for going into the smallest details. Really makes it a whole lot more enjoyable to watch!
This is an amazing video! So glad this got recommended to me! Keep the great content coming and I will definitely be checking out your other videos while waiting for part 2!
Oh shit dude this is really fun. Love the editing. It sucks people who put in tons of work into vids don't get the credit they need too. Love the work man always keep it up!!!
I never knew the gold vault in first world bank was a thing tbh, I always just assumed the classics were complete remasters just ported over to the second game, but interesting to see there were significant changes made
Heads up, Technically, Mercy Hospital from Payday 2 is a flashback to the same misson from the OG game, as characters only in Payday 2 will make reference to the fact that they shouldnt be there.
Wonderfully constructed video, will definitely look forward to this series, the early story of payday i understand, but with all the mayan bullshit or whatever i'm totally lost lol.
Soooo, I'm confused about two things 1. Why did Green Bridge not happen in the first Payday, even though it was a playable heist in-game 2. Did the crew attempt the Diamond heist two times to complete it successfully ? (the first time failing and years later attempting it again successfully)
Correction Heat street was a heist for spring break 2018 Panic room is after rust was hired Diamond heist is after alaskan deal Counterfeit and undercover i forgot
Okay, but how Bane contract to make the soundtrack? Edit: huh, what if L4D and Payday universe are actually connected until when the gang attacks the hospital? In the L4D world the Payday gang never did the heist and end up with the apocalypse, while in the other Payday did made the Heist and without knowing dodge the zombie apocalypse

Why do the covers look like l4d?
yixzir Payday: The Heist, like Left 4 Dead opted to make movie poster like designs for their missions.
homage , since l4d is a big inspiration in the genere .

That was an excellent video. Thanks for putting that together. I didn’t start playing until Payday 2 so I’m looking forward to your next one.
nice video! to me No Mercy will always be my favorite one (specially because of L4D), it kinda helps the lore of L4D before the outbreak..
