    Is it possible to actually Stealth the nightclub? We were able to sneak past the guards, drill through the door and the safe, and get the money without causing any alerts. But we couldn't figure out any way to get outside without triggering the alarm, so we just ran for it.

    Watch for the window from the street to the dance floor. Weird angle.

    To elaborate on this one, there is a ridiculous keyhole shot from where the bouncer is outside to the office with the safe. The bouncer spotted him in that office from outside one run.

    turns out, with the saw you can get ultra-heavy bags of gold bars. one deposit heist i had, we had 1 gold bar bag, 3 money bags, and like 200+k of loose stuff in the boxes. and it was a cash heist.

    it's tough to hold things for that long but it pays off pretty well. almost as good as rats, with less down to chance.

    That stuff is in the deposit boxes normally. There's 4-6 bags of cash, then 4 more hidden in the safes (also gold and oddities) Cash heist is insanely lucrative

    my best solo cash heist on overkill netted 250k. 3 bags of cash and 2 bags of gold from the deposit boxes. The deposit boxes can easily be worth up to 100k spendable cash. I wish they did not take forever to pick open. The gold also weighs a lot more and you move slower and throw it about half the distance even with the enforcer perk.

    Saw unlocked. Observations:

    - Don't waste it on doors you can easily lockpick
    - Cuts through deposit boxes in a second
    - Goes through durability extremely fast. 2-3 seconds of continuous spinning and you're down to zero condition

    Best way to spec right now would be to spec ammo bags for 2 bags and additional charges, then saw blades, all of that to get the maximum ammount of ammo for your saw blades.

    Is anyone else experiencing even more weird AI behavior with the latest patch? I keep seeing SWAT flying around crouched, actually appearing behind me and all sorts of wacky shit. Anyone else getting this or is it just me?

    I also have been getting disconnected from games much more frequently, as well as seeing a "cannot connect to one or more players" error when joining games.

    Yes I get things like this too, but I think it is lag related rather than the AI. I will see cops zoom around at 10x speed and finally stop right next to me in a crouched firing position. Wandering civs on jewelry store are particular offenders as well. As far as I know there is no way to see the connection quality/ping of the host, therefore no way to really avoid connecting to a slow host. I've just started hosting more.

    So, what's the body bagging perk for? Is it just to scoop up bodies when you're trying to stealth and hide them?

    Yep, basically. So no one stumbles across a body and calls the cops.

    So I preordered this game during the Steam Sale because I had some budget left over and I really liked the first one for what it was (though it lacked satisfying shooting mechanics and felt sort of half-baked)

    And like a big idiot I didn't realize that the career criminal edition of the game is the only one that gets beta access

    And to upgrade to that costs twenty dollars which I don't have anymore

    So, uh

    If anyone has a spare beta key they haven't given away yet, I'll be your best friend!

    Got an interesting mask I have not seen before called the Vampire. Has a cool face and is stark white. It is begging for some customization. I wish I was getting materials like I was other stuff. I get colors and cash bonuses like mad.

  • BasticleBasticle Registered User regular
    They may claim they increased the frequency of weapon card drops but I'm level 30 and done probably at least 50 heists since the wipe. I've gotten approx. 8 or 9 weapon cards and 1 mask unlock, the rest have been mask patterns/colors/materials or cash drops. Shits rediculous.

    Pick the middle one. I have gotten 3 colors, 1 mask and 1 material drop. 3 cash drops. All the rest are mods. Mostly for SMG's, but I also have the most blinged out of broncos.

    Don't know if it's just me, but the middle card disproportionately provides weapons so far as Ive seen.

    I think Bullet Storm works on the Saw, so when you got something like a Wall O' Deposit boxes, you want to saw a bunch, plop down an ammo bag, and then go to town with the Bullet Storm buff.

    I thought so as well but it doesn't work, I tried it yesterday. Had 3 ammo left on my blade, dropped a bag but it didn't work besides me having bullet storm aced.

    Does the Beta persist well towards release (if you pre-order Career Criminal)?

    I'm thinking about getting it but don't want to be stuck with "2 days left" of beta or none at all.. Haven't been able to Google it that well, either because the information isn't out there or my Google-fu is outdated.

    This isn't the end of the world, but you can see it from here.

    Info on when the beta ends isn't known. I can't imagine them ending it soon though.

    Also another pass at a 120 build: http://goo.gl/85TavB

    I think it's pretty good as something that brings a ton of utility into a match.

    Okay, so I took the bait and pre-ordered.

    Jumped in after a smooth download.. and damn, I gotta say... this is a huge improvement over the 1st Payday. Way better experience, the engine is tweaked, the sound is perfect, and everything else seems just grand. Where Payday 1 felt more like a really good Mod, Payday 2 feels like the real heist experience, and I've only played the Jewelry heist :P

    Yeah, I'm digging the saw, especially during bank heists, and it does make Four Stores the ultimate cheese speed run heist.

    I did have a low-level pubbie complain that we weren't sticking around for the safes on a Four Stores heist on Overkill, which was amusing. Hopefully "I just made $44K in thirty seconds, now you want to wait two minutes to make another five grand while the fist of an angry police god smashes down upon us? Good luck, I'll just wait by the van" was sufficiently enlightening.

    Also, bank heists where folks don't wait out the police assault in the vault are the worst.

    Holy christ a perfect run of Rats (i.e. all possible bags in all levels) gives you SO MUCH MONEY. We got 400k spendable on Hard or Very Hard, I forget, and it wasn't that hard with good teamwork.

    Thanks to my new best friend Aumni, king of kings, I can now play this game!

    It seems really in-depth and awesome! A proper evolution of the previous game in all respects, with better sounding guns

    Although it should be noted I am experiencing a weird slowdown, something that has only ever happened to me with one other game (Space Marine), where it slows down and then speeds back up again every second or so. It's not a frame rate dip, it's actual slowing down of the game

    I've tried turning vsync on, and keeping it off, I've tried alt-tabbing out (which works for a minute or two until the slowdown returns) and I've tried messing with the priority AND the affinity in the task manager

    Has anyone had this issue before? Or know any reliable way to fix it?

    That must be Hard mode. I recall pulling almost 400k a few days ago without all possible bags. We had to cut it at 3 bags of Meth because we were running low on ammo and bulldozers started making their appearance and we didn't stick around to loot the gangsters. The meth lab siege is probably the hardest part of Rats because you had to sit and defend a spot with numerous ingress directions and bulldozers can avoid a lot of long ranged fire to get into your face. I wonder if it's worth pulling back even more into the little window room to funnel everything into one doorway.

    Hmm the skill tree is really weird. I was working on getting good with the drill as a tech but after getting ace on the first 2 I cant buy tier 3 since I'm one point short and have to spend it in another tech tree...

  • Albino BunnyAlbino Bunny Jackie Registered User regular
    You have to ace several skills to get up tiers. If you want to get anything in T4 you can basically garuntee having most of t1-3 filled out. It's to make sure that people don't cherry pick skills higher up the tree without actually specialising.

    Though sometimes it makes my brainstorming on planning builds really frustrating when I try to squeeze just one more point higher up the tree.

    http://goo.gl/Lxa045 you can get all the drill perks with just one splash point unless you want silent drills.

    As far as I noticed while I was running them:

    You repair about fifty percent faster

    The drill auto restarts maybe once or twice a heist but seems to roll every five seconds or so (which means extended downtime will eventually repair in theory).

    The time knocked off when aced seems to be about a quarter.

  • SpoitSpoit *twitch twitch* Registered User regular
    So, like 3 and a half minutes to drill then?

    So I discovered that lowering the frame rate limiter to its lowest point (30) eliminated the slowdown!

    I discovered this just before my internet died and I dropped out of a really cool game, the first I'd really played with Tacos and Orik and Mori

    I have not yet played a heist to completion and my ISP's timing continues to be the best

    Try doing watchdogs on overkill. 8 bags secured, about 8.5 million offshor, almost 500k spendable. And that's not including the 9th bag :D

    BTW apparently loot you're carrying when you escape does count.

    So that'll make Watchdogs day2 and Rats day 3 quite a bit easier.
