Bonus Tip for #4. You only have to check 1 bottle colour. The bottles will always spawn in the order of RED, GREEN, BLUE, PINK. So as long as you check one colour you know the rest. The order of spawn spots is POOL, VIP BAR, TERRACE (Above VIP bar). Note, The colour pattern can start at any of the 4 bottle spawns, but will always follow the same order, no matter where the RED bottle is, BLUE is next, than GREEN, than PINK. Ex. Bar is PINK, you can automatically know that above the bar is RED and GREEN and the pool has BLUE.
Woah, this sounds like an amazing tip, StanchestSword! Thanks for the explanation, this is very clear! I've never noticed there was such consistency in their spawn order, or heard anyone talk about this. I'll be checking this out ingame as soon as I have some time (probably this weekend), and if it's correct and reliable 100% of the time, I'll pin your comment to share this amazing information with everyone else! Thank you very much :D
Hey StanchestSword! Marcmb here again. I just had a chance to check this out during my free time, and it is indeed just as you say! The order is fulfilled every single time. Thank you for this amazing knowledge! As I said, since this isn't mentioned anywhere in the video, I'll pin your comment, so that more heisters can learn about it! Combined with the tip for spotting the correct gambler (and simply checking his drink), you can be done with all these objectives within 10-15 seconds of entering the Casino, without even masking up and with barely any effort. Thanks once again for the great tip! :D
@@kickass1437 There will be a guard that never moves near the correct gambler. He shows both spots to look at 0:45. When you see which side the guard is, check that gamblers bottle and that's the colour that needs to be spiked.
@@kickass1437 Hey jessejames! - finding the proper gambler is done by checking the stationary guards, TIP #2 at 0:45. - finding his drink color is done by looking on the spot where that gambler will be later on in the heist, TIP #3 at 1:08. - figuring out which bar has that drink is done by using StanchestSword's pinned comment.
Identifying the civ with the keycard and searching for the drinks before you mask up honestly is a game-changer for my approach. This video is INCREDIBLY helpful and quite thorough.
Hey CuppaBro! That's definitely one of my best tips :) I used to check the drinks for both civs and type in the chat where each of their drinks was found (having that information is very helpful for the objectives), but simplifying it to checking just one drink and its location makes it much faster and less confusing :p Plus you don't have to wait in the server room until the civ shows up on the screen!
Finally beat this one at 1Hr 17m and it feels so good. I had let a lobby in over 10 times assuming they'd be pretty good at the game but we never even got past the USB part because people did the stupidest stuff and got caught. The tip for casing the drink helped immensely because I only ever got caught during the drink part of the mission. Thank you so much dude!
Congrats on the completion, Kris P Bacon! Glad my tips helped :) What you're describing happens a lot too... many objectives on GGC are better solo, because they're so easy to mess up with everyone doing their thing!
Just got done stealthing this sucker ON THE FIRST TRY! Couldn't have done it without some of this tips. The elimination method proved specially time-saving. Outstanding work all around (as usual ;) ) Keep it up!
Congrats Esmairu, and very well done! Completing it on the first try is no easy feat, so I'm glad that the tips were useful! I'm a big fan of checking the drink color only for the guest that has the keycard, and then finding which bar has his drink before even masking up :)
These videos are getting better and better! I really liked your mini explation of the locker sets and your time saving tips are a great addition. Loving the jump flexs on the outside bar and the elevator!
Hahaha, I didn't think too much about the one at the pool bar, but I definitely wanted to showcase the elevator jump! One of these days I'm going to miss that jump and fall to my death at the very end of the heist, but I still do it every time! :D The brief explanation of the locker sets was very fun to do, so I'm glad you liked that! Thank you as usual, addictedtooflight! :)
Left the video but remembered to come back and drop a like and a comment. The tips are incredible and I respect that you tell them all text and image in a calm way rather than by using voice
Hey there, MasterXdX! That's one of my favorite tips, because it's useful at all levels of play and it optimizes the heist slightly, making it a bit faster :p I hope the explanation of the 6 locker sets was clear!
Excellent review. I do want to mention two things: 1. There's frequently a guard that is bugged and goes stationary on the northeast quadrant of the upper level of the casino, overlooking the floor (I've not mapped the spawns to tell exactly which he is, or why it happens). This guard blocks off a number of routes through that area, and once you're familiar with his "stuck spot", you can recognize and work around it more conventiently. 2. The bathroom on the pool side is significantly less safe, as civilians and the "whole casino" guard can both path through it.
Thanks Discendo Vox! Glad you liked the review, and thanks too for the additional comments! (1) You are absolutely correct. He is there very frequently, so he was a pain when we were recording the video for Golden Grin ECM rushing. I'm pretty sure he's the guard that patrols the entire upstairs area, but I've never confirmed it! (2) I agree with this, for sure! I would've mentioned it if the gambler on this try was the purple shirt civ, but sadly I didn't want to make a double-length video because it seems like low effort when the videos are too long! Personally, I wait hidden behind the pillar in that bathroom, which allows you to see his yellow outline (while not being seen by civs that walk in). If he's going towards the sink, I let him walk in, but if he's going outside, I move out of hiding and shotgun-launch him before he has a chance to go outside. Works very well for me!
Wow dude- Once again an excellent job. I love that way of remembering the lockers, don't think I can mess that up anymore. I also didn't know the correlation between the stationary guards and which gambler it is- Keep up the good work!
Thank you Tele, I'm glad you liked this one too! :) Those two tips are definitely the highlight of the video for me - most of the tips are basic tips to explain the essentials of stealth in this heist, but those two are a bit more elaborated and many players don't know them!
I’ve never known of/thought of using the Smoking Area outdoor staircase and V.I.P. Room as safer shortcuts to get upstairs. I’d always just linger by a slot machine for an opening to sprint jump towards the main staircase or Reception. The lockers and pre-determined guest guards are also very good to know. This was fun to watch. :)
Glad you enjoyed watching this, Trenton, thank you! :) The lockers and guest guards are indeed some of the best tips for this heist, in my opinion! As for the main staircase, it can be used when there are no exterior staircases, but the exterior ones are quite a bit safer! Definitely recommend :D
Just want drop a like and let you know that, I've made this golden grin casino stealth heist, thanks to you and your guidances, of course. Also big love for that you've always be friendly witb viewers. Thanks man. You're awesome.
Thanks a lot rosol! Glad that the explanations were easy to follow :) And happy to hear that the guide helped -- congratulations on pulling off the heist!
So, last night I finally climbed this mountain and I probably watched this video for reference more times than I actually attempted the heist (both of these are still double digit numbers, I'm not *that* good). I call it a mountain because every time I mentioned clearing another heist on DSOD solo stealth, a very common response was something to the effect of "That's neat, now do Golden Grin." So I did. Being able to check which guest I care about and where his drink is within the first minute was invaluable, along with everything else, particularly routes across the huge hall. Just about everything mentioned here was of great help and I quite appreciate how you put it all into simple easy-to-follow instructions complete with gameplay examples. Also, it surprised me how much easier things got after I got past spiking the drink. Almost made me wonder what all the fuss was about. Almost. Thank you for helping this relatively new heister get another DSOD achievement. You might remember me from the comment section of your Shadow Raid video.
Hey theer HeVi! I do remember you from a recent comment, yup! First of all, congratulations on completing the Golden Grin! Very glad to hear that all my hints about how to move through the casino, and especially finding the proper gambler from the beginning, helped you. Overall, glad you found the video useful, and thank you for the very nice comment! :)
Hey Poot! It's very unfortunate, but that's how it is :( I hope Overkill will change that in the future, and give us a reason to secure that cash! It's a decently fun money-moving route :p
Ouch, that one hurts to read! Very unfortunate! I have two suggestions for that kind of situation, but they are very bizarre :p (A) Bring a primary weapon without a silencer. Since most heists are completed using just a secondary weapon (usually shotgun), this will allow you to have a way to make the heist go loud if you die to fall damage. After it goes loud, the bots will try to get to you as fast as possible, and hopefully revive you on time...! (B) Make a stealth profile for Golden Grin stealth, with First Aid Kits as a deployable... waste 12 skill points on acing the "UPPERS" skill in Mastermind, and place some FAKs under the elevator. If you fall again by mistake, the FAKs will instantly heal you and prevent you from dying to the fall damage :p
@TypeLuo Haha yeah, that also happens quite often, the bots completely ignore the fact that you're about to go into custody, and do their own thing... :( Glad you enjoyed the tips, thank you! The locker one is worth remembering (if you can understand the explained logic behind the order, otherwise remembering each locker individually is rather complex), because you find the code faster and there's less risk of the locker guard spotting you :) And the one for the gambler is very nice too! Saves me a lot of work for the initial scouting of the drinks and their locations.
@TypeLuo Little bit late but if you haven't been completely incapacitated(like when a cloaker kicks you), you can shout at a bot and they'll drop what they're doing to run to you faster. Good luck if you get shot again and the bot forgets again though.
Bruh I just now noticed you made a guide on this heist. Regularly it wouldn’t be something that I would be “mad” about, but considering I stayed up until 12:30 A.M. (I started trying at like 9: 40-ish, I’m mad I didn’t see this. I mean I can at least do solo stealth golden grin still but it would have been so much easier if I had seen this. If there is one thing I learned ever since I subscribed it is, Marcmb knows what to do. At least I learned about pre-checking the drink. Seriously that helped a ton. Back when I didn’t know I literally would just run around not know where the guy is then realized he was on the other side. Good work as always though! 👍
Thank you Lucas! Glad you enjoyed the guide, even if it was a bit late for your run :) Well done completing it on your own though, that's good! Pre-checking the drink is indeed one of the best things you can learn from this video: being able to tell which gambler has the keycard, and quickly finding his drink before masking up, will make your runs much smoother :)
Haha, unlucky! But at least you learnt a lot about the map during your attempts, and now you can add just the expert tips like knowing which one will be the gambler with the keycard, or the 6 corrects lockers in the locker room! Hope you enjoyed the video! :p
@@prigadiri :) Even if the lasers trigger the alarm, the van will wait for you, so you're only missing out on the stealth bonus. I recommend having fun with the lasers every now and then! :D
@@prigadiri Haha very true! If you're interested in getting all the loot, definitely don't take this risk :p Keep in mind though, that securing the money bags in this heist doesn't have an XP reward -- so generally the additional loot is skipped here!
Thank you kotzpenner! Glad you liked this guide :) Crouch-jumping is all about practice, so you can practice the sequence of inputs "sprint > jump > crouch" whenever you're waiting for a drill to finish or things like that :p Good luck!
Don't know if this deserves a mention (or if anyone else has already mentioned it) but it's actually possible to kill the card civvy right at the beginning of the heist by triggering slow mo via putting on your mask and quickly killing/bagging him (having concealment 3 is important) and then sneaking to the nearest toilet room. This allows you to skip half of the heist and proceed straight to gassing the security room.
Very true, _No thoughts, head empty!_ You can skip all the way to the end if you pull that off. There's some videos uploaded where players have done it, but I can't find the link right now :(
Instructions not clear. *Started the Casino Heist in GTA V* Just kidding, finally someone who explained this heist to me in every detail possible. Now I've got it all clear, after all those months looking at it as an undoable heist for me. That precise editing must have took a lot of time. Hope your channel's gonna get big one day. One sub from me! Keep it up.
Hey Martin! I had no idea that GTA V had a Casino Heist too, I'll have to check it out for fun one of these days, since I got the game for free during the last giveaway :p As you can see from the video, with a general idea of what you want to be doing at every point, and these tips, the heist becomes more straightforward and easy! So good luck in your attempts :) Thank you for subscribing, and glad you liked the editing! I appreciate that a lot! :D
It does in the Gta online, while the heist is pretty ok, there's (obviously for rockstar) a paywall in order to reach it. Game needs you to buy any arcade, which is pucharsable on site of mazebank foreclosures after you go to the green "L" on the map (no idea when it spawns), but when it comes to it, never choose the cheapest one in Paleto Bay as you have to do many setup missions which almost always spawn in the Los Santos, i personally recommend the Videogeddon one. For the profit side, it's probably one of the grinders' favourite toy ;p Well i didn't mean to "spoil" the entire heist, but if you want to play it, do it in public lobby ;p, it just takes super long to get everything done. Still don't forget this is Gta, not Payday, the stealth mechanics are super bad.
Haha yeah i have to agree, especially after many players joined due to the game being free on Epic Games Store, every heist with randoms in Gta is pretty difficult especially like Deliver EMP setup one, but i wouldn't recommend spend that much time to play the heist as a host, if the host could buy an arcade and do setups, then i guess he knows what he's doing! ;p
@@AnanasIsAtYourDoorstep @Martin Waldecker Interesting! For now I hade no idea what any of this means, but I'll make sure to re-read it the day I try out the game :D No idea when that will be though! For now, from that game I expect better driving but worse heisting, compared to PAYDAY 2 :p
Thanks a lot Kacper! I'm glad you're enjoying all the content :) I'll do my best to keep it up, so that all videos can be useful for old and new viewers! :D
How just wow!, your tips are so incredibly useful!, easy way to know which gambler your going to get, killing the 4 guards in the back, locker room briefcase spawns, man you are awesome and I love your payday 2 content, plzz dont stop you are a legend, plzz do a guide to diamond hiest if you can plzz that would be awesome!
Thank you Daniel, glad you enjoyed this one!! I see you absorbed all the good information from the video, I like that! :D 👍 I'll do my best to continue making similar content -- Diamond Heist in the future for sure! Although the next one, for now, has been confirmed to be for Framing Frame, so hopefully that one can be useful too! :)
as a player who has beaten diamond heist solo on ds:od, I can give you a few tips, I don’t know if you can really call these tips, since i don’t know much about diamond heist, but for laptops, 1 of them will be most likely on the opposite side of the map, if you go to the roof, (if your solo) and you look around you’ll see a 2nd entrance, and if you go down there, there will be a laptop spawn, it’s in a dark office room. And another spawn I think is where you actually spawn at, it’s to the left side of the room you spawn in. And the spawn room i’m talking about is like brightly lit and it’s left of the vault. I don’t know if you understand since that’s the only place where I spawn in. And the guy with the keycard you need for the vault has a white suit, he looks like a mobster from the hotline miami heist, except he’s just a civ. And if you walk up the stairs, (the one where there’s no numbering for the floors,he sometimes walks around there so its an easy kill where you don’t have to worry about guards.
Go for it, t0xic_gas, and good luck in your Casino heisting! I especially recommend TIPS #2, #3 and #4. Having all that information before masking up is going to make the final objectives of the heist infinitely easier!
1 more tip: it is necessary to kill the Delivery room side(Secure cash easily) guard but unnecessary to kill Server room side guard. Just to save a pager for an unfortunate event :)
That's a nice tip! It's definitely a matter of playstyle: some players don't kill any of the guards in the staff areas because they would rather not waste time answering the pagers, but I like recommending killing all four because then players can freely move through the staff areas without worrying about anything :p
@@Marcmb old Video I know, but if you kill 4 guards at the beginning. Does a 5th one come along when you are taking too long to secure all the money? Or is it really only 4 guards back there?
Very good point! I ended up going through the VIP room and out into the smoking area anyway, so it would've been much quicker to just jump off :p Glad to see you're enjoying the older content in the channel, thank you! :D
You forgot the most important tip tho: Give up Jk. I'd say that this heist is one of the most hard to stealth solo (apart from the ones like firestarter), the other one being breaking feds. However, after some playthroughs, it becomes just as easy as other heists, since you get used to all the little details. Only breaking feds is always hard
Haha, never give up! What I used to like the most about stealth when I was learning it, was restarting over and over until I understood how certain heists work :p I can definitely see why people struggle with this one, so I hope the video will be helpful for those players! As for Breakin' Feds, my best tip is to check where the Security Office (camera room) has spawned (as soon as you go through the security barrier, without taking any risks), and with that information I just kill the three guards on that side of the map and the rest becomes very easy!
big bank, dont forget big bank its the worst possible map to solo stealth imo and for the love of god pray that the damn computer is in the downstairs office
@@monochromatic9601 Absolutely agree... it's a great map to play duo, but the initial objective with the computer is a complete nightmare when playing solo... it shows that it wasn't designed to be played solo :p I would love it if there was a reliable way to guess the correct computer even when playing solo, though!
@@monochromatic9601 Indeed, that seems to be the best approach. I always try to guess roughly where the computer must be depending on where I hear the sound, but two of the server rooms are so far that it's almost impossible... luckily whenever I play Big Bank I pretty much always do it duo, and then it becomes a really fun map :p
I feel like that it’s worth mentioning that on overkill difficulty the 4th guard can be permanently banished to gay baby jail (aka the locker room). He’ll never leave that room, even if the door is unlocked or open, and just wander aimlessly without any risk to the heist. In all seriousness thanks a bunch for helping complete my first stealth casino heist!
Hey Gordon Freeman! That sounds interesting. I've never played anything below DSOD in the last few years, so unfortunately I have no idea what kinds of things happen on Overkill difficulty :p Glad my guide helped, and you're absolutely welcome! Congratulations on your first GGC stealth completion :)
Hey DeltaGamer! That tip is easily one of the two best tips I had to offer for this heist :) It makes everything so much easier because you only have to check one drink (which you can very quickly check before masking up) and then the drink objectives become so much easier. The locations of the 6 good lockers is also a good one (and a good time-saver), although that one requires a bit more memory :p
@@cottoneyejoe8285 Yeah! There's only 6 lockers that may contain the briefcase, and the other 14 are always empty. Huge time save, and also considerably safer because you don't spend as much time opening lockers in a position where the guard will spot you if he walks up to the door. Personally I think the 6 positions are easy to remember using the explanation at 8:49, but some players prefer just opening all 20 until they find the briefcase and that's ok too :p
Hey Symphonis, thank you very much! Good to know that there are players that like the tip videos so much! I'm definitely considering doing one for each heist, to teach everything that I know about stealth. Combined with other types of videos like I've been doing, of course :) The bug you're describing seems very unusual. Are you able to play any heists before it crashes? Is there any common factor between all your crashes? Do you have any mods?
@@SymphonisXD Oh! In that case, go to your PAYDAY 2 folder (in Steam/steamapps/common/PAYDAY 2) and make sure that there's no WSOK32.dll and no IPHLPAPI.dll. They are very small files and it's very easy to miss them, but if you ever used mods at some point, it's likely that these files remained in the folder and they will crash your game instantly (like you're describing) if they're left in the folder, unupdated. So check if maybe it's because of one of these two files!
@Symphonis I hope that fixes it! If it doesn't... unfortunately my game very rarely gives me problems so I don't have solutions for most of these problems :( Even if it's a clean install, double-check to make sure that the files I mentioned are not in the new folder!
Thank you soo much I did it on very hard and managed to stealth it first try also I used to think that first world Bank was a bad moving simulator, but now I don't think so:)
That's great, yolin yeet! Happy to hear the guide helped, and congrats on your first try clear :) Also glad to hear that the First World Bank guide helped too, that's great! :D
Glad you're enjoying the content Matthew, thank you very much! :) I've thought about making a short video explaining how to install mods, and complete it with the list of mods that I use (as well as download links and instructions). I may post it in a few weeks, but if you would like to see my list of mods before I finish that video, there's a Steam post that I wrote explaining just that! You can find it here: steamcommunity.com/groups/MarcmbCrimeNET/discussions/0/2279330983559406525/
I saw they finally updated it, yes!!! For solo you shouldn't secure all of them (for time efficiency), but the painting definitely, and some bags while waiting for the drill as well. For co-op, you can secure a lot more, while waiting for the drill!
The spy cam asset is a rather flawed asset in this heist, the main hall ones have a glaring blind zone (around the part bellow the second floor balconies under the spycam position, they can't spot guards around that angle of their FoV). Spotter has limited service as they only serve a purpose IF the external staircase spawns there...
Hey Andre! Indeed, they are very very limited... for this reason, I only recommend getting them with the leftover favors, and I suggest other options such as disabling metal detectors or getting body bags instead. They have A LOT of blind spots so they are barely ever marking anyone... but on the occasions where they do mark someone and give you a bit of information, they are nice to have, so they are still my go-to with the leftover favors :p
I don’t get WHY I can’t do this. I’m perfectly capable of all the objectives, but I always lose to something really fucking stupid. Fall damage, coming face to face with a guard around seemingly every corner, the stupid fucking guard in the locker room, I literally don’t get what the fuck I’m doing wrong. This game just seems to hate it when I try to do stealth, and it sucks because it’s really fun on paper, but it’s so fucking tedious in practice. I don’t get why I can’t fucking do it, man.
Hi tremble! I see what you mean, many different things that can go wrong... I recommend working on them one by one: start by practicing your locker room movement to ensure you never get detected there (his waypoints & movements are very predictable, and it's easy to tell when it's safe to go through), then the fall damage (practice the jumps so that you won't fall off), and as for the blind corners it's all about completing the heist a few times and learning which paths are generally safer... good luck, and it sounds like you're almost there! :D
@@Marcmb i actually find that my issue with the locker room guard is bad rng and getting caught while I’m looking in the more exposed lockers. I have since modified my strategy to ignore it until cams are off, and save a pager for him. That way I can just have free access to the entire room. I no longer run Yakuza for this heist and fall damage has become less of an issue. Managed to get the DSOD solo stealth with all bags in under 30 minutes last night. Good enough for me, for now.
I see! Congrats on your all loot clear, well done! As for some simple tips to avoid using a pager on him, and reliably avoiding him: if you remember which lockers are eligible to contain the briefcase (only 6 of the 20), as shown at 9:05, then you only need to worry about him seeing you while opening SETS 2 & 3 (which takes about 2s, so not really a risk or a problem). For SETS 1, 5 & 6 you're hidden behind a wall, and for SET 4 you can hug the lockers and crouch, thus being too far from him to see you, even when he stands right in front of the locker room. For now you've already completed it which is plenty, but if you wanna improve on these aspects: best of luck! :)
I think I knew everything except knowing who has the keycards at the beginning. That's so useful. I usually looked at both drinks and then just found all the spawn locations. I also didn't know about the briefcase locker locations, I'll keep that in mind. I also didn't know that extra loot doesn't give exp?! That's gotta be fixed by now right?
Hey Mateo! The EXP is still not fixed unfortunately :( securing the money bags is fun, but useless as far as EXP rewards are concerned! Hoping it can be fixed eventually, would make the heist A LOT more interesting because everyone would agree to moving the bags :) Also, I'm glad you enjoyed those 2 tips! They are definitely the highlight of the video for me: my best two tips for this heist, easily :)
This comment is late but thx for the strats, especially the one to locate the bottles. TBH, I find myself doing this map more consistently than Big Bank, thx to the Big Bank Titan cam update...
Oooh nooooo! Hahaha that's such a shame, but also so funny :D I guess for future reference, I should've mentioned that you should only TRAIN for the SHORTCUT when you're playing in a COOP LOBBY! So that, even if you fail it, someone will be able to revive you :D
Stellar video mate also, do you usually use hacker or do you sometimes switch between burglar depending on the heist/playstyle/crew/loadout you use? Thanks in advance!
Thank you Al Kh, glad you liked this one too! :) I essentially use always Hacker, especially when playing with a crew (for extended ECM rushes of 6 minutes rather than 4). Sometimes I play Yakuza when I need the extra movement speed, but I very rarely use Burglar. The faster bagging speed is cool, but one of its strong points is that it can easily answer two pagers in quick succession (because of the faster pager answers), while Hacker can easily have the same effect while having more utility. So summarized answer: Yakuza if I want speed, Hacker otherwise by default!
Thank you as usual, Nikolai! :) I have seen it, yes! I loved the LockeBreacher puzzle we got as a teaser (I actually found the answer for the Tobias satellite, which was nice!), and I'm very much looking forward to playing the new heist! :)
@@niqolaisaveliev3375 Haha, it's been a long time since I played GTA, but I've seen many comments mentioning that the screenshots look a bit like GTA! That's a good thing, I'm kinda looking forward to GTA-style escapes on PAYDAY 3 :p it would make escapes so much more fun!
Hey Marc! So I was wondering if you could show a guide on this mission for an achievement called “High Roller”. If you could provide do tips for that it would be really great!
Hey Noah! I just double-checked and that achievement is basically the speedrun achievement, for finishing in less than 14 minutes. The best tip of course is to do it in stealth, because it's much shorter than the loud drill process. If you follow all the general tips in this video, after a couple completions (when you're fully familiar with the heist), I think you'll manage to get a sub-14! But if you try this, and you find yourself needing a couple minutes saved, let me know and I'll find some good tips!
Hey Alexander! It's a long video so no worries. This aspect is explained at 0:13, you buy a certain preplanning asset to ensure the red code will always spawn at the same spot, making it unnecessary to learn the other 2 spots.
After a couple of runs of Casino, I found that the room can be on either side of the building. I think the employers' area spawn is the easier approach one, because my first successful solo run got that location. My next few runs got it on the reception side, and I forgot this is exactly what you got in this video, so i approached from a difficult route where lots of civvies are on the slot machine. I think I need more runs to be fluent playing this heist. Btw, I found there's an achievement where the player kills a specific npc and finish the heist, I ran into him accidentally going upstairs, but that run was failed, how unlucky.
Found a way to achieve it, using 5/7 AP pistol, the npc usually hangs around the main floor, look for him in the security room. Before escape, shoot him with AP pistol. Can put down ecm for safe escape.
Also noticed a mechanism: during one of my solo runs, I only found 1 guard in the staff area before I enter the vault. Since I also focus on the objectives rather than waiting them coming, i only killed that one guard I saw inside that area. When I go down the vault, there appears a ? and soon turned into !, glad I had hacker perk so that guy's call didn't go through, which also gives me time running up and kill him. I am not very familiar with the mechanisms of the Casino, my take is that guard sees open security office door, they get suspicious.
Hey Linzhi! By "room" I assume you mean the room that you open with a keycard, right? It can indeed spawn on either side: on top of the staff area, or on top of reception. I agree that the former is a bit easier mainly because the path to it is shorter so there's less moving around (and so less risk), but as you can see starting at 7:43 in the video, the only main difference is doing the trip from reception to staff area two more times, which can be done quite easily. As you mention, with more runs you'll get used to the safer routes, and avoid areas that have more civilians :) (especially the balconies, there's always so many civs gambling there!) I also see that you found by yourself one of the best ways to get the Elvis achievement, well done! Indeed, the safest strategy is waiting until you finish the heist (escape available) then placing an ECM, killing Elvis, and then escaping! Finally, regarding your final comment, there's 3 guards always patrolling the staff area (+1 who patrols the entire casino), so if you're not looking around for them it's possible that you will never see them in the entire heist! Because they can be in many different places (all the way to the metal detectors, or all the way back in the staff area, standing in a corner where you don't see them). The problem, as you already saw, is that they will spot the security room open, and become alerted, so killing them ahead of time (if possible) can sometimes be helpful. Other than that, if you react quickly and kill them as soon as they get alerted (before 3 seconds pass) then you can just deal with the situation with no risk... but if more than 3 seconds pass before you kill them, there's a 10% chance that the guard will shoot as he dies, which may be a bit unfortunate!
@@Marcmb Thanks for the info on the last bit, I almost forgot the alerted kill might set off their weapons(first heard of it in your conterfeit stealth), guess I was lucky, also that I haven't encounter the situation where this mechanism ruins my stealth.
@@linzhihan294 That's right! It's exactly the same reason that sometimes causes the shields in Counterfeit to shoot :) It's only a 10% chance that they will shoot, so it would be very unlucky if it happened - but it always feels so bad when it does happen! :D
Another addition to make is that opening the armory in loud gives you extra 2000 exp. So if you trigger the alarm on the lasers and then go and open the armory, it will give you slightly more experience at the cost of losing the stealth exp boost. I haven't really tested that one though, so I may be wrong. P.S. Since 2015 I've been masking up to pick up the gas. I NEVER knew you could pick it up with Chameleon aced, what... Could there have been a bug with the pick up back in the days that I got used to?
That's true, LunaYuki! You can also place the fireworks right after (just throw them in place, no need to ignite them) for another 2,000 base XP. Combined with the fact that the stealth bonus is only +10%, if you plan to do any heist with an XP reward lower than 40,000 base XP, then finishing the casino in loud is better for XP farming :) As for the question about 2015, I'm not really sure! That was so long ago, that I don't even remember how the skill trees looked back then, sorry :p
@@Marcmb It just shook me that I've been masking up to pick the gas up for 6 years lmao. I never knew that you could do it in casing mode. Well, the more you know, I guess. Thanks for some tips and thanks for still reading all of the comments! Btw any plans for Firestarter d1 vid? I'm sure not everyone knows that it's stealthable
@@xlunayuki For sure yeah! It's likely that there was a bug/change at some point, especially considering that it's a 1s interaction, so there's not many of these you can pick up via Chameleon. Very hard to say though, since it was so long ago! As for Firestarter, I'll definitely be making a full guide in the future (with many examples, tips for all hangars and hangar combinations, good spots to launch bodies to save body bags, tricks to clean the hangars themselves...), but I want to start with the more "intended" stealth heists, as those will be useful to a wider range of heisters, and thus a bit more interesting! Especially the highly requested ones such as Scarface Mansion, Murky Station...
Hey Marc, i was leveling up a couple of hours ago for infamy 30 and started up ggc, did it all stealthy, got to the vault and pressed shift plus tab as a habit (steam friend panel thing)l but steam was closed so it froze my character and I couldn’t move and had to restart. Rip lol. Good video btw!
Hey, thanks to you I managed this heist in one go (after a long break). Unfortunately I encountered a bug: I open the director’s case (behind the painting) before the lens (two codes to find) appears and the lens did not update... so I try to enter the right red code (as Bain normally gives) and fortunately it worked after 3 tries !
That's good to hear Doma, glad the guide helped! Congrats on the completion :D As for the red code bug, this happens sometimes yup. Bain will give you the wrong code because his voicelines overlap... but after a couple of reboots he will give you the correct one eventually!
@@Marcmb I appreciate your answer :) Actually it's not the bug as already exposed in the video : In my case, Bain was not giving any red code because the objective "Find the 2 codes" was still not updated after I found them.
huh, this really goes in full detail about golden grin, this is actually quite helpful when I decide to do golden grin again. Also, it’s fine to use burglar right? I just think it’s overall better than hacker in stealth for most scenarios, since faster pager answer, bagging, and stuff like that, I just think it’s more overall beneficial for me.
Thanks m_e! Glad this guide can be helpful, good luck in your attempts, whenever you continue :) Burglar is fine, it's a very good starter perk deck, especially because it doesn't take any active inputs to be benefitial. When you get more used to stealth, Hacker will be better (check my video on Hacker 101) because it lets you be more proactive (easy multi kills of 2-3 guards, killing in front of cameras...) which overall makes your runs much faster (you never have to wait for a guard to move) and safer. But for now, Burglar is fine, absolutely! :)
@@Marcmb hmm, alright, yeah I’m still not that good at hacker in stealth rather than loud, so for now, i’ll use burglar but when i get better, i’ll be sure to check out hacker, and I did do an ecm rush of diamond store with some people from the official PAYDAY 2 discord, but they decided to answer the pagers when I said we could just leave since we already had the required amount of loot, but nevertheless, they decided to answer the pagers, and we only were 3 people, we all had hacker equipped except we used our mini ecms already so the 4th pager went off and it went loud. Then the host just decided to quit and we all left the discord channel, I was still confused on why we didn’t leave, but still, thanks for your helpful tips. Also, I didn’t even know there were staircases at 7:58
@@m_e6289 Sounds good! Whenever you make the switch, feel free to ask any questions about Hacker. Diamond Store is one of the easiest heists to rush, but sadly when rushing with random groups, coordination is a common issue. The best lobbies are those where the host is very proactive and manages the rush, so that if he types in chat "don't answer the pagers" the crew listens and just escapes, avoiding that kind of mistake. Finally, the staircases outside are all random, so they will not always be there. Very helpful when they are though! :)
@@Marcmb alright, sup, just wanted to update you with my attempts, I started again couple days ago, but every time I played stealth and failed, I just disliked golden grin more and more, i’ll probably try it again after I stop being bored of it, but the constant restarts are definitely tiring.
@@m_e6289 I see... in that case, I definitely recommend starting with other heists, don't worry about it! After you're able to solo medium heists like First World Bank and The Diamond, you'll have an easier time with the Casino! Also, even though you like Burglar for now, I definitely recommend switching to Hacker for this one in particular: clearing the staff areas while ignoring the cameras will make it a thousand times easier, and then the only risky part will be moving up and down the casino, which comes down to well-executed sprint-crouch-jumping!
just askin....why not use judge? and btw can u play multpiler with custom huds what i mean is.. if other guys dont haf that hud woud you be able to play with them?
Hey there Mr Nonobody! I use the Locomotive 12G simply because of personal preference! Many players use the Judge shotgun because it can reach slightly higher concealment values, but once you have some basic concealment mods on your weapons, you can reach the minimum detection rating of 3 with many weapon combinations. For this reason, since concealment isn't a concern for me anymore, I use the Locomotive instead, because I prefer the way it looks! Back in the old days, the Judge didn't exist so I got used to the Locomotive being the stealth shotgun, and I never really liked how the Judge looks (the weapon is a bit too small for me, so I prefer the Locomotive much more!), so I never made the change :) As for your second question, custom HUDs affect only your client, so you can play in any lobbies with players using no HUDs or other HUDs, no incompatibilities at all!
Hey there, EyeSoWrld! That's indeed the Locomotive 12G. Here's my list of mods to make it compatible with a detection rating of 3: · BARREL EXT: The Silent Killer Supressor. · GADGET: LED Combo. (if you want more concealment, you can switch this one for a Compact Laser Module -- or just remove the gadget) · GRIP: Straight Grip. · MAGAZINE: Extended Magazine. · STOCK: Tactical Shorty Stock. Everything else is empty (except for boost and ammunition, which have no effect on concealment. I use Team Boost and 000 Buckshot). Also, my weapon skin is Immortal Python (unlocked at 1,000 achievements).
Uhm thanks for the epic tutorial but I put the dentists loot in the van first and lost all that potential cash that I had just bagged. Though it only took me like 4 tries thanks to your vid!
Hey again jessejames! Hopefully after the full run you understood exactly how the drinks work :) Usually after seeing it yourself it makes more sense. Glad the guide helped! Also, as you noticed, when going for all loot, just drop the Dentist's loot next to the van, without securing it until the very end! :D
Cool video... again.. I think you can never make a bad video. And yes, I always go through this mission .. alone. Because random people don’t know how to do it and do it their own way or because I don’t have friends xD
Thank you Greefoon, I appreciate that a lot!! :) I also do this one solo usually, it's very big so very often someone messes it up. I believe there are better maps to play with random crews, but with an organized crew this one is also nice :)
5 guards walk to the back section. after we have answered 4 pagers back there a 5th guy still walks in. I'm considering leaving the main rightside guard alive next time and killing all of the patrolling guards from the main floor and the left side guy since that's the business side of the building. I think this was made harder at some point because I used to solo stealth this all the time but it seems stupidly hard now for some reason. I have 2000 hours in game and have stealthed everything many times. And I have tried to do Golden Grin for 3 nights in a row now, fail after fail after fail. I don't know wtf happened but something is definitely different.
Hey Steven! If you perhaps changed your build, you might have forgotten about silent drills? If you place loud drills in the vault, guards from the main lobby might be lured in (if they walk above the vault), and if you place a loud drill in the manager's safe, the locker room guard might be lured up (if the locker room spawns close to it). Could that have been your issue? Especially if you're playing with multiple heisters, each with their separate stealth build, and each doing their own thing.
Thanks for this amazing guide!! I've finished this heist thanks to u but one thing I did not understand is the bottles, how did u know it's blue without even masking? is it because the white guy always makes it blue, or is it random
Hi shiro! Glad the guide helped, and congrats on the completion! :D I recently made a video which explains the bottle stuff more clearly: check this out, and let me know if you have any further questions! th-cam.com/video/1W5speaTzPY/w-d-xo.html The bottle colors are always random, but the slot machine assigned to each civ is always the same.
I'd rather not go left because there's 2 guards out there plus civs can be coming in and out of the different doors and the bathroom... the right side is generally much safer, although I always check behind the slot machines before jumping forward, to avoid instant detections!
Curious. What happen if alarm goes off while in civillian mode. Consider the hésiter didn't got any gear. Or will they 'magically' get their gear after alarm go off? Couldn't really test it since I don't have pd2 owning friends. Or they don't have time to.
Hey PieDecky! Good question :D If I recall correctly, the game forces you to mask up even if you didn't pick up your gear, so that if you start with the stealthy approach but it goes loud, everyone can fight even if they didn't take their gear :p
Hey GameIvan! Were you hosting, or was it someone else's lobby? You have the option of buying the "Van escape" (for 8 favors), so that the van will wait for you regardless of what happens, so that may have been the reason! Or it could be that unanswered pagers are treated similarly to the lasers being triggered, so the van doesn't leave if you're very close to finishing!
Hey K M! Thank you for the comment, glad I was able to help with that! Congratulations on a heist well done! :) As for my shotgun, that's the Locomotive 12G, a very useful stealth shotgun. I personally always use it because it looks really nice, and it can also change a lot (visually, from a 1st player perspective) depending on the mods you use. If you want to reproduce this exact look, here's the list of mods that I use (probably the most common stealth Loco setup): · BARREL EXT: The Silent Killer Supressor. · GADGET: LED Combo. (if you don't have enough concealment, you can switch this one for a Compact Laser Module -- or just remove the gadget) · GRIP: Straight Grip. · MAGAZINE: Extended Magazine. · STOCK: Tactical Shorty Stock. · AMMUNITION: 000 Buckshot. · BOOST: Team Boost. · SKIN: the new "Crypto" color that was obtained from the now removed LockeBreacher puzzle -- the settings I chose for the color are Paint Scheme: Inverted; Wear: Mint-Condition; Pattern Scale: Medium!
@@Marcmb looking now and on console I don't think we have it all 12g shotguns we've got: Stakeout Joceline O/U Mosconi IZHMA Breaker Predator The other shotguns not listed as 12g are Reinfeld 880 M1014 Raven Thank you for the reply anyway I keep forgetting not all content made it our way
@@KM-jb3vg Hey K M! I don't recognize all the names, but I do recognize some. The Raven, for example, is a *primary* shotgun, so you may be looking at the wrong category! The Locomotive 12G is a *secondary* shotgun, and it has been in the game since the very early patches, so it should be on console for sure!
@@Marcmb oh its a secondary I wouldn't have thought I'm such a dolt yeah those are all the primarys I even check the dual wield list and it wasnt there never even thought to check secondary
Hey zzRedzz! You are absolutely right. It's so useful in pretty much all stealth heists, that I would consider it an essential "skill" that everyone should learn in order to be better at stealth!
Hey Pleckso! That's a Locomotive 12G, a very useful stealth shotgun. The list of mods, if you want to reproduce the same look, is the following: · BARREL EXT: The Silent Killer Supressor. · GADGET: LED Combo. (if you want more concealment, you can switch this one for a Compact Laser Module -- or just remove the gadget) · GRIP: Straight Grip. · MAGAZINE: Extended Magazine. · STOCK: Tactical Shorty Stock. Everything else is empty (except for boost and ammunition, which have no effect on concealment. I use Team Boost and 000 Buckshot). Also, my weapon skin is Immortal Python (unlocked at 1,000 achievements). However, note that your choice of shotgun and mods should not affect how they launch enemies (the exception being certain ammo types, namely Dragon's Breath, AP Slug, and HE rounds, which remove the launch effect). In order for the launch to work, you have to be at 5m or less from the enemy. The launch distance increases as you get closer (capped at 2.5m), but if you go way too close and shoot while you're physically inside the enemy, they will drop right on the spot (no launch). Also the angle at which you shoot your weapon also has an important effect. I hope this helps :) Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoyed the video!
@@Marcmb Thanks for the elaborate answer and the tips! I use the Raven shotgun for stealth so that works fine I guess, interesting to see that the launch effect didn't depend on the weapon. Guess I'll have to just practice how I shoot NPCs:) Hope you keep making more content like this btw!
@@pleckso You're welcome! The Raven is a good one, even though I don't see it often! It's especially good because, being a primary shotgun (unlike most others, which are secondaries) it can give good versatility to your loadouts. Glad that you're enjoying the content! Thank you, and stay tuned for more! :)
Hey Mozzie! For the second question: it's not necessary, but it allows you to reposition them better, and also makes sure that the next guard won't shoot on sight (see my top video in my channel titled "Why do guards shoot during stealth"). As for the first question, the shotgun is the Locomotive 12G: free and available for both PC and console. If you want to see the list of weapon mods, check out my "saw build" video in the description, which shows the weapon+attachments!
Hey Alucard! For most heists yes, like for example Murky Station or Yacht Heist. However, it's not exactly the same in all heists, because most have their unique laser patterns. GO Bank for example has lasers that can connect diagonally (rather than just horizontally), and Big Bank doesn't have a visual indicator of the different laser heights so it's hard to say which one is the lowest, the 2nd lowest, etc!
At 2:21 for some reason the camera doesn't see the guard there so I've been wasting my PCM on that my entire time whenever I dominated him to control my arrest cooldown :P

Bonus Tip for #4. You only have to check 1 bottle colour. The bottles will always spawn in the order of RED, GREEN, BLUE, PINK. So as long as you check one colour you know the rest. The order of spawn spots is POOL, VIP BAR, TERRACE (Above VIP bar). Note, The colour pattern can start at any of the 4 bottle spawns, but will always follow the same order, no matter where the RED bottle is, BLUE is next, than GREEN, than PINK.
Ex. Bar is PINK, you can automatically know that above the bar is RED and GREEN and the pool has BLUE.
Woah, this sounds like an amazing tip, StanchestSword! Thanks for the explanation, this is very clear! I've never noticed there was such consistency in their spawn order, or heard anyone talk about this. I'll be checking this out ingame as soon as I have some time (probably this weekend), and if it's correct and reliable 100% of the time, I'll pin your comment to share this amazing information with everyone else! Thank you very much :D
Hey StanchestSword! Marcmb here again. I just had a chance to check this out during my free time, and it is indeed just as you say! The order is fulfilled every single time. Thank you for this amazing knowledge! As I said, since this isn't mentioned anywhere in the video, I'll pin your comment, so that more heisters can learn about it!
Combined with the tip for spotting the correct gambler (and simply checking his drink), you can be done with all these objectives within 10-15 seconds of entering the Casino, without even masking up and with barely any effort. Thanks once again for the great tip! :D
How do I know who’s drink is whose? There are 4 colors, yet 2 possible gamblers?
@@kickass1437 There will be a guard that never moves near the correct gambler. He shows both spots to look at 0:45. When you see which side the guard is, check that gamblers bottle and that's the colour that needs to be spiked.
@@kickass1437 Hey jessejames!
- finding the proper gambler is done by checking the stationary guards, TIP #2 at 0:45.
- finding his drink color is done by looking on the spot where that gambler will be later on in the heist, TIP #3 at 1:08.
- figuring out which bar has that drink is done by using StanchestSword's pinned comment.
Identifying the civ with the keycard and searching for the drinks before you mask up honestly is a game-changer for my approach. This video is INCREDIBLY helpful and quite thorough.
Hey CuppaBro! That's definitely one of my best tips :) I used to check the drinks for both civs and type in the chat where each of their drinks was found (having that information is very helpful for the objectives), but simplifying it to checking just one drink and its location makes it much faster and less confusing :p Plus you don't have to wait in the server room until the civ shows up on the screen!
Gotta love the editing style, your channel is underrated!
Thank you very much Enio! I'm glad that you like the editing style, I appreciate that a lot! :)
First dude I have found that skips the pointless bs and gets straight to it. I salute you sir.
:D I appreciate that a lot, gagara, thank you very much!
Glad you liked the editing style and the video pacing :)
Instructions unclear, got my ECM feedback activates.
Nooo not the feedback :( RIP stealth
you can just imagine all the "!!!!!!!!!!!"
@Enrico Cool you are a troll, right?😂😂
I feel for you it happens all the time
Finally beat this one at 1Hr 17m and it feels so good. I had let a lobby in over 10 times assuming they'd be pretty good at the game but we never even got past the USB part because people did the stupidest stuff and got caught. The tip for casing the drink helped immensely because I only ever got caught during the drink part of the mission. Thank you so much dude!
Congrats on the completion, Kris P Bacon! Glad my tips helped :)
What you're describing happens a lot too... many objectives on GGC are better solo, because they're so easy to mess up with everyone doing their thing!
Just got done stealthing this sucker ON THE FIRST TRY!
Couldn't have done it without some of this tips. The elimination method proved specially time-saving.
Outstanding work all around (as usual ;) ) Keep it up!
Congrats Esmairu, and very well done! Completing it on the first try is no easy feat, so I'm glad that the tips were useful!
I'm a big fan of checking the drink color only for the guest that has the keycard, and then finding which bar has his drink before even masking up :)
These videos are getting better and better! I really liked your mini explation of the locker sets and your time saving tips are a great addition. Loving the jump flexs on the outside bar and the elevator!
Hahaha, I didn't think too much about the one at the pool bar, but I definitely wanted to showcase the elevator jump! One of these days I'm going to miss that jump and fall to my death at the very end of the heist, but I still do it every time! :D
The brief explanation of the locker sets was very fun to do, so I'm glad you liked that! Thank you as usual, addictedtooflight! :)
These tips were significantly more useful than I was expecting. Great vid, ty mate 😄
You're absolutely welcome Nick! Glad the tips helped, that's always good to hear :) Thank you!
Left the video but remembered to come back and drop a like and a comment. The tips are incredible and I respect that you tell them all text and image in a calm way rather than by using voice
Thanks a lot, JDC! Glad the tips helped, and great to hear that you liked the text-based format :) Appreciate it!
Channel is very underrated for how much it helps
Thank you very much, Kingrhinojr! Very happy to hear that the videos are helping :)
I didn’t know that the briefcase could only be in 6 lockers, I’ll definitely keep that in mind next time I run GGC, thanks !
Hey there, MasterXdX! That's one of my favorite tips, because it's useful at all levels of play and it optimizes the heist slightly, making it a bit faster :p I hope the explanation of the 6 locker sets was clear!
Excellent review. I do want to mention two things:
1. There's frequently a guard that is bugged and goes stationary on the northeast quadrant of the upper level of the casino, overlooking the floor (I've not mapped the spawns to tell exactly which he is, or why it happens). This guard blocks off a number of routes through that area, and once you're familiar with his "stuck spot", you can recognize and work around it more conventiently.
2. The bathroom on the pool side is significantly less safe, as civilians and the "whole casino" guard can both path through it.
Thanks Discendo Vox! Glad you liked the review, and thanks too for the additional comments!
(1) You are absolutely correct. He is there very frequently, so he was a pain when we were recording the video for Golden Grin ECM rushing. I'm pretty sure he's the guard that patrols the entire upstairs area, but I've never confirmed it!
(2) I agree with this, for sure! I would've mentioned it if the gambler on this try was the purple shirt civ, but sadly I didn't want to make a double-length video because it seems like low effort when the videos are too long!
Personally, I wait hidden behind the pillar in that bathroom, which allows you to see his yellow outline (while not being seen by civs that walk in). If he's going towards the sink, I let him walk in, but if he's going outside, I move out of hiding and shotgun-launch him before he has a chance to go outside. Works very well for me!
Wow dude- Once again an excellent job. I love that way of remembering the lockers, don't think I can mess that up anymore. I also didn't know the correlation between the stationary guards and which gambler it is- Keep up the good work!
Thank you Tele, I'm glad you liked this one too! :)
Those two tips are definitely the highlight of the video for me - most of the tips are basic tips to explain the essentials of stealth in this heist, but those two are a bit more elaborated and many players don't know them!
I’ve never known of/thought of using the Smoking Area outdoor staircase and V.I.P. Room as safer shortcuts to get upstairs. I’d always just linger by a slot machine for an opening to sprint jump towards the main staircase or Reception. The lockers and pre-determined guest guards are also very good to know. This was fun to watch. :)
Glad you enjoyed watching this, Trenton, thank you! :)
The lockers and guest guards are indeed some of the best tips for this heist, in my opinion! As for the main staircase, it can be used when there are no exterior staircases, but the exterior ones are quite a bit safer! Definitely recommend :D
Just want drop a like and let you know that, I've made this golden grin casino stealth heist, thanks to you and your guidances, of course. Also big love for that you've always be friendly witb viewers. Thanks man. You're awesome.
Thanks a lot for the kind message Elbard, much appreciated! Glad that my guide helped, that's great to hear :)
my friend, even my math teacher does not explain the subject in such detail, it was an excellent video, thank you for your effort!
Haha that's funny! Glad you liked the video ardateke, thank you very much :)
I love how you explain everything in an understandable way btw very thanks for the guide i finally could complete this heist
Thanks a lot rosol! Glad that the explanations were easy to follow :)
And happy to hear that the guide helped -- congratulations on pulling off the heist!
So, last night I finally climbed this mountain and I probably watched this video for reference more times than I actually attempted the heist (both of these are still double digit numbers, I'm not *that* good). I call it a mountain because every time I mentioned clearing another heist on DSOD solo stealth, a very common response was something to the effect of "That's neat, now do Golden Grin." So I did.
Being able to check which guest I care about and where his drink is within the first minute was invaluable, along with everything else, particularly routes across the huge hall. Just about everything mentioned here was of great help and I quite appreciate how you put it all into simple easy-to-follow instructions complete with gameplay examples. Also, it surprised me how much easier things got after I got past spiking the drink. Almost made me wonder what all the fuss was about. Almost.
Thank you for helping this relatively new heister get another DSOD achievement. You might remember me from the comment section of your Shadow Raid video.
Hey theer HeVi! I do remember you from a recent comment, yup! First of all, congratulations on completing the Golden Grin! Very glad to hear that all my hints about how to move through the casino, and especially finding the proper gambler from the beginning, helped you. Overall, glad you found the video useful, and thank you for the very nice comment! :)
I always seem to get unlucky(or I’m just bad) but this helped to try and get closer to finally stealthing this heist
There's many things that can go wrong yup, I don't think it's your fault! Glad this was able to help :D
i didn't know securing more cash doesn't give more xp, thanks for figuring that out for us
Hey Poot! It's very unfortunate, but that's how it is :( I hope Overkill will change that in the future, and give us a reason to secure that cash! It's a decently fun money-moving route :p
This came at a good time, I struggle with this heist quite a bit. Great content btw, keep it up!
Hey Phobos! Perfect timing then :p Glad you liked this one, and I hope it was helpful!!
I was once about to finish this heist and getting the last bit of loot and I fell down the elevator. I haven't played it since
Ouch, that one hurts to read! Very unfortunate!
I have two suggestions for that kind of situation, but they are very bizarre :p
(A) Bring a primary weapon without a silencer. Since most heists are completed using just a secondary weapon (usually shotgun), this will allow you to have a way to make the heist go loud if you die to fall damage. After it goes loud, the bots will try to get to you as fast as possible, and hopefully revive you on time...!
(B) Make a stealth profile for Golden Grin stealth, with First Aid Kits as a deployable... waste 12 skill points on acing the "UPPERS" skill in Mastermind, and place some FAKs under the elevator. If you fall again by mistake, the FAKs will instantly heal you and prevent you from dying to the fall damage :p
Thanks gave me inspiration and ur tips helped now I have completed this heist in less than 15 min
@@angel3y35 Awesome! Happy to hear that's the case, well done and congratulations! I'm glad that the video helped :)
@TypeLuo Haha yeah, that also happens quite often, the bots completely ignore the fact that you're about to go into custody, and do their own thing... :(
Glad you enjoyed the tips, thank you! The locker one is worth remembering (if you can understand the explained logic behind the order, otherwise remembering each locker individually is rather complex), because you find the code faster and there's less risk of the locker guard spotting you :)
And the one for the gambler is very nice too! Saves me a lot of work for the initial scouting of the drinks and their locations.
@TypeLuo Little bit late but if you haven't been completely incapacitated(like when a cloaker kicks you), you can shout at a bot and they'll drop what they're doing to run to you faster.
Good luck if you get shot again and the bot forgets again though.
You are criminally underrated, and your videos are awesome!
Much appreciated Foster, very kind of you!

@@fosterrico5546 I'm having a lot of fun making this type of content :D I'm glad so many heisters are enjoying them, or learning from them!
Bruh I just now noticed you made a guide on this heist. Regularly it wouldn’t be something that I would be “mad” about, but considering I stayed up until 12:30 A.M. (I started trying at like 9: 40-ish, I’m mad I didn’t see this. I mean I can at least do solo stealth golden grin still but it would have been so much easier if I had seen this. If there is one thing I learned ever since I subscribed it is, Marcmb knows what to do. At least I learned about pre-checking the drink. Seriously that helped a ton. Back when I didn’t know I literally would just run around not know where the guy is then realized he was on the other side. Good work as always though! 👍
Thank you Lucas! Glad you enjoyed the guide, even if it was a bit late for your run :) Well done completing it on your own though, that's good!
Pre-checking the drink is indeed one of the best things you can learn from this video: being able to tell which gambler has the keycard, and quickly finding his drink before masking up, will make your runs much smoother :)
Why did I complete this map after a thousand attempts and right now Marcmb uploads a video to explain it and make it easier? D:
Haha, unlucky! But at least you learnt a lot about the map during your attempts, and now you can add just the expert tips like knowing which one will be the gambler with the keycard, or the 6 corrects lockers in the locker room! Hope you enjoyed the video! :p
Great now I can do ggc a lot quicker and more efficient, great as always marc!
Thank you Cloaker! Much appreciated :) I hope the tips will be helpful!
Might try as i learn to try to learn stealth mechanics without getting detected every single time i meet a guard, nice video as always!
Hey Atlantix, thank you! Definitely go for it! This heist is a lot of fun to stealth, and the tips can make it faster and more consistent! :)
I was just trying to find the location of the pit boss’ code number, but I learned so much more. Great vid thanks for the help 🤝
Glad I was able to show you a bunch of useful things, Swiftnynja!
Thank you for the amazing content. Keep up the good work
Thank you, Zimex! I'm glad you liked the video! :)
@@Marcmb i loved it
Almost freaked out when you started jumping through lasers
Haha hope you enjoyed that, prigadiri! It's always fun and exciting to jump through the lasers :p
@@Marcmb yes
@@prigadiri :) Even if the lasers trigger the alarm, the van will wait for you, so you're only missing out on the stealth bonus. I recommend having fun with the lasers every now and then! :D
@@Marcmb yeah, but the problem is if you want to do full loot. Then no time for it
@@prigadiri Haha very true! If you're interested in getting all the loot, definitely don't take this risk :p
Keep in mind though, that securing the money bags in this heist doesn't have an XP reward -- so generally the additional loot is skipped here!
Hey Marcnb, these videos are really great and i appreciate that you take the time to make them :)
Much appreciated, therealfirstone! I'm glad that you like them, thank you! :)
Thank you i have been strugling with the heist cuz i wanna do the carrer stuff in order and beacuse of that you deserve a follow
Glad the guide helped, Patrik! Good luck with the rest of your Career stuff, and thanks for considering following! :D
Really nice guide, you're criminally underrated. Now I only need to learn the jump crouch correctly lol
Thank you kotzpenner! Glad you liked this guide :) Crouch-jumping is all about practice, so you can practice the sequence of inputs "sprint > jump > crouch" whenever you're waiting for a drill to finish or things like that :p Good luck!
Don't know if this deserves a mention (or if anyone else has already mentioned it) but it's actually possible to kill the card civvy right at the beginning of the heist by triggering slow mo via putting on your mask and quickly killing/bagging him (having concealment 3 is important) and then sneaking to the nearest toilet room. This allows you to skip half of the heist and proceed straight to gassing the security room.
Very true, _No thoughts, head empty!_ You can skip all the way to the end if you pull that off. There's some videos uploaded where players have done it, but I can't find the link right now :(
Instructions not clear.
*Started the Casino Heist in GTA V*
Just kidding, finally someone who explained this heist to me in every detail possible. Now I've got it all clear, after all those months looking at it as an undoable heist for me.
That precise editing must have took a lot of time. Hope your channel's gonna get big one day.
One sub from me! Keep it up.
Hey Martin! I had no idea that GTA V had a Casino Heist too, I'll have to check it out for fun one of these days, since I got the game for free during the last giveaway :p
As you can see from the video, with a general idea of what you want to be doing at every point, and these tips, the heist becomes more straightforward and easy! So good luck in your attempts :)
Thank you for subscribing, and glad you liked the editing! I appreciate that a lot! :D
It does in the Gta online, while the heist is pretty ok, there's (obviously for rockstar) a paywall in order to reach it.
Game needs you to buy any arcade, which is pucharsable on site of mazebank foreclosures after you go to the green "L" on the map (no idea when it spawns), but when it comes to it, never choose the cheapest one in Paleto Bay as you have to do many setup missions which almost always spawn in the Los Santos, i personally recommend the Videogeddon one.
For the profit side, it's probably one of the grinders' favourite toy ;p
Well i didn't mean to "spoil" the entire heist, but if you want to play it, do it in public lobby ;p, it just takes super long to get everything done.
Still don't forget this is Gta, not Payday, the stealth mechanics are super bad.
I would say that playing heists with randoms in GTA Online is more painful than stealthing first day of Firestarter in Solo.
Haha yeah i have to agree, especially after many players joined due to the game being free on Epic Games Store, every heist with randoms in Gta is pretty difficult especially like Deliver EMP setup one, but i wouldn't recommend spend that much time to play the heist as a host, if the host could buy an arcade and do setups, then i guess he knows what he's doing! ;p
@@AnanasIsAtYourDoorstep @Martin Waldecker
Interesting! For now I hade no idea what any of this means, but I'll make sure to re-read it the day I try out the game :D No idea when that will be though!
For now, from that game I expect better driving but worse heisting, compared to PAYDAY 2 :p
Very very helpful, i found out about your channel today and this is best thing that happened to me! Keep up amazing videos!
Thanks a lot Kacper! I'm glad you're enjoying all the content :) I'll do my best to keep it up, so that all videos can be useful for old and new viewers! :D
How just wow!, your tips are so incredibly useful!, easy way to know which gambler your going to get, killing the 4 guards in the back, locker room briefcase spawns, man you are awesome and I love your payday 2 content, plzz dont stop you are a legend, plzz do a guide to diamond hiest if you can plzz that would be awesome!
Thank you Daniel, glad you enjoyed this one!! I see you absorbed all the good information from the video, I like that! :D 👍
I'll do my best to continue making similar content -- Diamond Heist in the future for sure! Although the next one, for now, has been confirmed to be for Framing Frame, so hopefully that one can be useful too! :)
as a player who has beaten diamond heist solo on ds:od, I can give you a few tips, I don’t know if you can really call these tips, since i don’t know much about diamond heist, but for laptops, 1 of them will be most likely on the opposite side of the map, if you go to the roof, (if your solo) and you look around you’ll see a 2nd entrance, and if you go down there, there will be a laptop spawn, it’s in a dark office room. And another spawn I think is where you actually spawn at, it’s to the left side of the room you spawn in. And the spawn room i’m talking about is like brightly lit and it’s left of the vault. I don’t know if you understand since that’s the only place where I spawn in. And the guy with the keycard you need for the vault has a white suit, he looks like a mobster from the hotline miami heist, except he’s just a civ. And if you walk up the stairs, (the one where there’s no numbering for the floors,he sometimes walks around there so its an easy kill where you don’t have to worry about guards.
now i have an idea to what im gonna do next. thx man
Go for it, t0xic_gas, and good luck in your Casino heisting! I especially recommend TIPS #2, #3 and #4. Having all that information before masking up is going to make the final objectives of the heist infinitely easier!
Liked it without seen it yet, cuz it is always good content. Keep workin' on it man!
First comment n0ck, congratulations! :p
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated! :)
1 more tip: it is necessary to kill the Delivery room side(Secure cash easily) guard but unnecessary to kill Server room side guard. Just to save a pager for an unfortunate event :)
That's a nice tip! It's definitely a matter of playstyle: some players don't kill any of the guards in the staff areas because they would rather not waste time answering the pagers, but I like recommending killing all four because then players can freely move through the staff areas without worrying about anything :p
@@Marcmb old Video I know, but if you kill 4 guards at the beginning. Does a 5th one come along when you are taking too long to secure all the money? Or is it really only 4 guards back there?
@@Sch0field8 theres only up to 4, no 5th will wander into the back area
Minute 8:20 you could've jumped from the terrace to the bathroom!
Great video!
Very good point! I ended up going through the VIP room and out into the smoking area anyway, so it would've been much quicker
to just jump off :p
Glad to see you're enjoying the older content in the channel, thank you! :D
it took 40 minutes but i got all bags, thanks for all the tips!
You're welcome Rexks! Glad the tips helped, and congrats on the completion! :D
I finally did my 14 minutes achievement. Thanks alot :)
Congratulations on that timed achievement Jang, well done! :D
Glad my tips helped with that :)

You're welcome Andre! Glad the video helped :D
Legendary video! This will definitely help me out. Got a new sub. Keep up the great work!
Thank you White Wolf, much appreciated! Happy to know that the video was helpful, and thank you for subbing! :)
You forgot the most important tip tho:
Give up
Jk.
I'd say that this heist is one of the most hard to stealth solo (apart from the ones like firestarter), the other one being breaking feds.
However, after some playthroughs, it becomes just as easy as other heists, since you get used to all the little details. Only breaking feds is always hard
Haha, never give up! What I used to like the most about stealth when I was learning it, was restarting over and over until I understood how certain heists work :p
I can definitely see why people struggle with this one, so I hope the video will be helpful for those players! As for Breakin' Feds, my best tip is to check where the Security Office (camera room) has spawned (as soon as you go through the security barrier, without taking any risks), and with that information I just kill the three guards on that side of the map and the rest becomes very easy!
big bank, dont forget big bank its the worst possible map to solo stealth imo and for the love of god pray that the damn computer is in the downstairs office
@@monochromatic9601 Absolutely agree... it's a great map to play duo, but the initial objective with the computer is a complete nightmare when playing solo... it shows that it wasn't designed to be played solo :p
I would love it if there was a reliable way to guess the correct computer even when playing solo, though!
@@Marcmb yeah my best tip is just turn sound effect volume way up and turn the music off and just be patient
@@monochromatic9601 Indeed, that seems to be the best approach. I always try to guess roughly where the computer must be depending on where I hear the sound, but two of the server rooms are so far that it's almost impossible... luckily whenever I play Big Bank I pretty much always do it duo, and then it becomes a really fun map :p
Hey man nice work! Underrated channel
Thank you Ay Montana! Glad you liked it, much appreciated :)
I feel like that it’s worth mentioning that on overkill difficulty the 4th guard can be permanently banished to gay baby jail (aka the locker room). He’ll never leave that room, even if the door is unlocked or open, and just wander aimlessly without any risk to the heist.
In all seriousness thanks a bunch for helping complete my first stealth casino heist!
Hey Gordon Freeman! That sounds interesting. I've never played anything below DSOD in the last few years, so unfortunately I have no idea what kinds of things happen on Overkill difficulty :p
Glad my guide helped, and you're absolutely welcome! Congratulations on your first GGC stealth completion :)
These tips are epic. Thank you
You're welcome, PiotrCh, glad you liked them! :)
I actually did not know about the guard relating to the card civ. This will help a lot :D
Hey DeltaGamer! That tip is easily one of the two best tips I had to offer for this heist :) It makes everything so much easier because you only have to check one drink (which you can very quickly check before masking up) and then the drink objectives become so much easier.
The locations of the 6 good lockers is also a good one (and a good time-saver), although that one requires a bit more memory :p
@@Marcmb I thought the lockers were completely random before! It's nice knowing I can save time on that when the pesky guard can walk over any time
@@cottoneyejoe8285 Yeah! There's only 6 lockers that may contain the briefcase, and the other 14 are always empty. Huge time save, and also considerably safer because you don't spend as much time opening lockers in a position where the guard will spot you if he walks up to the door.
Personally I think the 6 positions are easy to remember using the explanation at 8:49, but some players prefer just opening all 20 until they find the briefcase and that's ok too :p
this helped alot! thanks!
That's great to hear Tyler! You're absolutely welcome :)
I love your tip videos. I have this bug where the game will auto close and wont even open up properly. Amazing video again.
Hey Symphonis, thank you very much! Good to know that there are players that like the tip videos so much! I'm definitely considering doing one for each heist, to teach everything that I know about stealth. Combined with other types of videos like I've been doing, of course :)
The bug you're describing seems very unusual. Are you able to play any heists before it crashes? Is there any common factor between all your crashes? Do you have any mods?
@@Marcmb No mods, like i would open it on steam and it wouldnt even load just says now playing and auto closes.
@@SymphonisXD Oh! In that case, go to your PAYDAY 2 folder (in Steam/steamapps/common/PAYDAY 2) and make sure that there's no WSOK32.dll and no IPHLPAPI.dll.
They are very small files and it's very easy to miss them, but if you ever used mods at some point, it's likely that these files remained in the folder and they will crash your game instantly (like you're describing) if they're left in the folder, unupdated. So check if maybe it's because of one of these two files!
@@Marcmb Ill reinstall it right now!
@Symphonis I hope that fixes it! If it doesn't... unfortunately my game very rarely gives me problems so I don't have solutions for most of these problems :(
Even if it's a clean install, double-check to make sure that the files I mentioned are not in the new folder!
Thank you soo much I did it on very hard and managed to stealth it first try also I used to think that first world Bank was a bad moving simulator, but now I don't think so:)
That's great, yolin yeet! Happy to hear the guide helped, and congrats on your first try clear :)
Also glad to hear that the First World Bank guide helped too, that's great! :D
been loving the vids so far! by chance would you ever make a video on how youve moded your game?
Glad you're enjoying the content Matthew, thank you very much! :)
I've thought about making a short video explaining how to install mods, and complete it with the list of mods that I use (as well as download links and instructions). I may post it in a few weeks, but if you would like to see my list of mods before I finish that video, there's a Steam post that I wrote explaining just that! You can find it here: steamcommunity.com/groups/MarcmbCrimeNET/discussions/0/2279330983559406525/
Do the money bags reward you with exp now that theyve updated the hiests, or did they still miss this one?
Hey Alex! The recent XP update also included this heist yup. Now there's a reward of 500 base XP for each money bag, which is quite decent :D
wow this video is really helpful. Thanks alot!
Hey Jang, no problem! Thank YOU for watching it, and I'm glad to know that it was helpful! :D
10:31 finally is a reallity but is worth moving all those bags now with their 500 base xp?
I saw they finally updated it, yes!!! For solo you shouldn't secure all of them (for time efficiency), but the painting definitely, and some bags while waiting for the drill as well. For co-op, you can secure a lot more, while waiting for the drill!
I usually secure two money bags and the painting in my solo runs, that's about as much as you can secure while waiting for the last drill
The spy cam asset is a rather flawed asset in this heist, the main hall ones have a glaring blind zone (around the part bellow the second floor balconies under the spycam position, they can't spot guards around that angle of their FoV).
Spotter has limited service as they only serve a purpose IF the external staircase spawns there...
Hey Andre! Indeed, they are very very limited... for this reason, I only recommend getting them with the leftover favors, and I suggest other options such as disabling metal detectors or getting body bags instead.
They have A LOT of blind spots so they are barely ever marking anyone... but on the occasions where they do mark someone and give you a bit of information, they are nice to have, so they are still my go-to with the leftover favors :p
Very thorough guide. thanks
Glad the guide helped, The Wave, you're absolutely welcome! :)
I don’t get WHY I can’t do this. I’m perfectly capable of all the objectives, but I always lose to something really fucking stupid. Fall damage, coming face to face with a guard around seemingly every corner, the stupid fucking guard in the locker room, I literally don’t get what the fuck I’m doing wrong. This game just seems to hate it when I try to do stealth, and it sucks because it’s really fun on paper, but it’s so fucking tedious in practice. I don’t get why I can’t fucking do it, man.
Hi tremble! I see what you mean, many different things that can go wrong... I recommend working on them one by one: start by practicing your locker room movement to ensure you never get detected there (his waypoints & movements are very predictable, and it's easy to tell when it's safe to go through), then the fall damage (practice the jumps so that you won't fall off), and as for the blind corners it's all about completing the heist a few times and learning which paths are generally safer... good luck, and it sounds like you're almost there! :D
@@Marcmb i actually find that my issue with the locker room guard is bad rng and getting caught while I’m looking in the more exposed lockers. I have since modified my strategy to ignore it until cams are off, and save a pager for him. That way I can just have free access to the entire room. I no longer run Yakuza for this heist and fall damage has become less of an issue. Managed to get the DSOD solo stealth with all bags in under 30 minutes last night. Good enough for me, for now.
I see! Congrats on your all loot clear, well done! As for some simple tips to avoid using a pager on him, and reliably avoiding him: if you remember which lockers are eligible to contain the briefcase (only 6 of the 20), as shown at 9:05, then you only need to worry about him seeing you while opening SETS 2 & 3 (which takes about 2s, so not really a risk or a problem). For SETS 1, 5 & 6 you're hidden behind a wall, and for SET 4 you can hug the lockers and crouch, thus being too far from him to see you, even when he stands right in front of the locker room.
For now you've already completed it which is plenty, but if you wanna improve on these aspects: best of luck! :)
I think I knew everything except knowing who has the keycards at the beginning. That's so useful. I usually looked at both drinks and then just found all the spawn locations. I also didn't know about the briefcase locker locations, I'll keep that in mind. I also didn't know that extra loot doesn't give exp?! That's gotta be fixed by now right?
Hey Mateo! The EXP is still not fixed unfortunately :( securing the money bags is fun, but useless as far as EXP rewards are concerned! Hoping it can be fixed eventually, would make the heist A LOT more interesting because everyone would agree to moving the bags :)
Also, I'm glad you enjoyed those 2 tips! They are definitely the highlight of the video for me: my best two tips for this heist, easily :)
This comment is late but thx for the strats, especially the one to locate the bottles. TBH, I find myself doing this map more consistently than Big Bank, thx to the Big Bank Titan cam update...
Hey bruce! No worries, glad that you're enjoying the previous videos too, and that they are being useful! :)
5 attempts after reading your guide, i...imitated the spicy shortcut you mentioned and, failed...oh well, i treated as managed...
Oooh nooooo! Hahaha that's such a shame, but also so funny :D
I guess for future reference, I should've mentioned that you should only TRAIN for the SHORTCUT when you're playing in a COOP LOBBY! So that, even if you fail it, someone will be able to revive you :D
Jezus this vid saved my runs, thanks alot :)
Happy to hear that, DadWithBelt! Glad I was able to help, and congrats on your completion :)
Stellar video mate
also, do you usually use hacker or do you sometimes switch between burglar depending on the heist/playstyle/crew/loadout you use?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you Al Kh, glad you liked this one too! :)
I essentially use always Hacker, especially when playing with a crew (for extended ECM rushes of 6 minutes rather than 4). Sometimes I play Yakuza when I need the extra movement speed, but I very rarely use Burglar. The faster bagging speed is cool, but one of its strong points is that it can easily answer two pagers in quick succession (because of the faster pager answers), while Hacker can easily have the same effect while having more utility. So summarized answer: Yakuza if I want speed, Hacker otherwise by default!
grace, good work Marc! have you seen the announcement of the new DLC?
Thank you as usual, Nikolai! :)
I have seen it, yes! I loved the LockeBreacher puzzle we got as a teaser (I actually found the answer for the Tobias satellite, which was nice!), and I'm very much looking forward to playing the new heist! :)
@@Marcmb the second photo resembles an estate from gta sa ;)
@@niqolaisaveliev3375 Haha, it's been a long time since I played GTA, but I've seen many comments mentioning that the screenshots look a bit like GTA! That's a good thing, I'm kinda looking forward to GTA-style escapes on PAYDAY 3 :p it would make escapes so much more fun!
Hey Marc! So I was wondering if you could show a guide on this mission for an achievement called “High Roller”. If you could provide do tips for that it would be really great!
Hey Noah! I just double-checked and that achievement is basically the speedrun achievement, for finishing in less than 14 minutes.
The best tip of course is to do it in stealth, because it's much shorter than the loud drill process. If you follow all the general tips in this video, after a couple completions (when you're fully familiar with the heist), I think you'll manage to get a sub-14!
But if you try this, and you find yourself needing a couple minutes saved, let me know and I'll find some good tips!
what if the red code doesnt spawn at the bar ?
are there other spots or did i miss it in the vid`?
Hey Alexander! It's a long video so no worries. This aspect is explained at 0:13, you buy a certain preplanning asset to ensure the red code will always spawn at the same spot, making it unnecessary to learn the other 2 spots.
After a couple of runs of Casino, I found that the room can be on either side of the building. I think the employers' area spawn is the easier approach one, because my first successful solo run got that location. My next few runs got it on the reception side, and I forgot this is exactly what you got in this video, so i approached from a difficult route where lots of civvies are on the slot machine. I think I need more runs to be fluent playing this heist. Btw, I found there's an achievement where the player kills a specific npc and finish the heist, I ran into him accidentally going upstairs, but that run was failed, how unlucky.
Found a way to achieve it, using 5/7 AP pistol, the npc usually hangs around the main floor, look for him in the security room. Before escape, shoot him with AP pistol. Can put down ecm for safe escape.
Also noticed a mechanism: during one of my solo runs, I only found 1 guard in the staff area before I enter the vault. Since I also focus on the objectives rather than waiting them coming, i only killed that one guard I saw inside that area. When I go down the vault, there appears a ? and soon turned into !, glad I had hacker perk so that guy's call didn't go through, which also gives me time running up and kill him. I am not very familiar with the mechanisms of the Casino, my take is that guard sees open security office door, they get suspicious.
Hey Linzhi! By "room" I assume you mean the room that you open with a keycard, right? It can indeed spawn on either side: on top of the staff area, or on top of reception. I agree that the former is a bit easier mainly because the path to it is shorter so there's less moving around (and so less risk), but as you can see starting at 7:43 in the video, the only main difference is doing the trip from reception to staff area two more times, which can be done quite easily. As you mention, with more runs you'll get used to the safer routes, and avoid areas that have more civilians :) (especially the balconies, there's always so many civs gambling there!)
I also see that you found by yourself one of the best ways to get the Elvis achievement, well done! Indeed, the safest strategy is waiting until you finish the heist (escape available) then placing an ECM, killing Elvis, and then escaping!
Finally, regarding your final comment, there's 3 guards always patrolling the staff area (+1 who patrols the entire casino), so if you're not looking around for them it's possible that you will never see them in the entire heist! Because they can be in many different places (all the way to the metal detectors, or all the way back in the staff area, standing in a corner where you don't see them). The problem, as you already saw, is that they will spot the security room open, and become alerted, so killing them ahead of time (if possible) can sometimes be helpful. Other than that, if you react quickly and kill them as soon as they get alerted (before 3 seconds pass) then you can just deal with the situation with no risk... but if more than 3 seconds pass before you kill them, there's a 10% chance that the guard will shoot as he dies, which may be a bit unfortunate!
@@Marcmb Thanks for the info on the last bit, I almost forgot the alerted kill might set off their weapons(first heard of it in your conterfeit stealth), guess I was lucky, also that I haven't encounter the situation where this mechanism ruins my stealth.
@@linzhihan294 That's right! It's exactly the same reason that sometimes causes the shields in Counterfeit to shoot :)
It's only a 10% chance that they will shoot, so it would be very unlucky if it happened - but it always feels so bad when it does happen! :D
Another addition to make is that opening the armory in loud gives you extra 2000 exp. So if you trigger the alarm on the lasers and then go and open the armory, it will give you slightly more experience at the cost of losing the stealth exp boost. I haven't really tested that one though, so I may be wrong.
P.S. Since 2015 I've been masking up to pick up the gas. I NEVER knew you could pick it up with Chameleon aced, what... Could there have been a bug with the pick up back in the days that I got used to?
That's true, LunaYuki! You can also place the fireworks right after (just throw them in place, no need to ignite them) for another 2,000 base XP.
Combined with the fact that the stealth bonus is only +10%, if you plan to do any heist with an XP reward lower than 40,000 base XP, then finishing the casino in loud is better for XP farming :)
As for the question about 2015, I'm not really sure! That was so long ago, that I don't even remember how the skill trees looked back then, sorry :p
@@Marcmb It just shook me that I've been masking up to pick the gas up for 6 years lmao. I never knew that you could do it in casing mode. Well, the more you know, I guess. Thanks for some tips and thanks for still reading all of the comments! Btw any plans for Firestarter d1 vid? I'm sure not everyone knows that it's stealthable
@@xlunayuki For sure yeah! It's likely that there was a bug/change at some point, especially considering that it's a 1s interaction, so there's not many of these you can pick up via Chameleon. Very hard to say though, since it was so long ago!
As for Firestarter, I'll definitely be making a full guide in the future (with many examples, tips for all hangars and hangar combinations, good spots to launch bodies to save body bags, tricks to clean the hangars themselves...), but I want to start with the more "intended" stealth heists, as those will be useful to a wider range of heisters, and thus a bit more interesting! Especially the highly requested ones such as Scarface Mansion, Murky Station...
Hey Marc, i was leveling up a couple of hours ago for infamy 30 and started up ggc, did it all stealthy, got to the vault and pressed shift plus tab as a habit (steam friend panel thing)l but steam was closed so it froze my character and I couldn’t move and had to restart. Rip lol. Good video btw!
Ouch! That's probably the worst way to fail a heist, and at the very end too... sad!
Glad you enjoyed the video though, much appreciated! :D
Helped me succeed. Thank you.
Thanks faded! Glad to hear this guide helped :)
Hey, thanks to you I managed this heist in one go (after a long break).
Unfortunately I encountered a bug: I open the director’s case (behind the painting) before the lens (two codes to find) appears and the lens did not update... so I try to enter the right red code (as Bain normally gives) and fortunately it worked after 3 tries !
That's good to hear Doma, glad the guide helped! Congrats on the completion :D
As for the red code bug, this happens sometimes yup. Bain will give you the wrong code because his voicelines overlap... but after a couple of reboots he will give you the correct one eventually!
@@Marcmb I appreciate your answer :)
Actually it's not the bug as already exposed in the video : In my case, Bain was not giving any red code because the objective "Find the 2 codes" was still not updated after I found them.
11:36 I unconciously started holding space bar lol
Haha I can see why that would happen, Magnitude! Glad you were immersed in the video :)
huh, this really goes in full detail about golden grin, this is actually quite helpful when I decide to do golden grin again. Also, it’s fine to use burglar right? I just think it’s overall better than hacker in stealth for most scenarios, since faster pager answer, bagging, and stuff like that, I just think it’s more overall beneficial for me.
Thanks m_e! Glad this guide can be helpful, good luck in your attempts, whenever you continue :)
Burglar is fine, it's a very good starter perk deck, especially because it doesn't take any active inputs to be benefitial.
When you get more used to stealth, Hacker will be better (check my video on Hacker 101) because it lets you be more proactive (easy multi kills of 2-3 guards, killing in front of cameras...) which overall makes your runs much faster (you never have to wait for a guard to move) and safer.
But for now, Burglar is fine, absolutely! :)
@@Marcmb hmm, alright, yeah I’m still not that good at hacker in stealth rather than loud, so for now, i’ll use burglar but when i get better, i’ll be sure to check out hacker, and I did do an ecm rush of diamond store with some people from the official PAYDAY 2 discord, but they decided to answer the pagers when I said we could just leave since we already had the required amount of loot, but nevertheless, they decided to answer the pagers, and we only were 3 people, we all had hacker equipped except we used our mini ecms already so the 4th pager went off and it went loud. Then the host just decided to quit and we all left the discord channel, I was still confused on why we didn’t leave, but still, thanks for your helpful tips. Also, I didn’t even know there were staircases at 7:58
@@m_e6289 Sounds good! Whenever you make the switch, feel free to ask any questions about Hacker.
Diamond Store is one of the easiest heists to rush, but sadly when rushing with random groups, coordination is a common issue. The best lobbies are those where the host is very proactive and manages the rush, so that if he types in chat "don't answer the pagers" the crew listens and just escapes, avoiding that kind of mistake.
Finally, the staircases outside are all random, so they will not always be there. Very helpful when they are though! :)
@@Marcmb alright, sup, just wanted to update you with my attempts, I started again couple days ago, but every time I played stealth and failed, I just disliked golden grin more and more, i’ll probably try it again after I stop being bored of it, but the constant restarts are definitely tiring.
@@m_e6289 I see... in that case, I definitely recommend starting with other heists, don't worry about it! After you're able to solo medium heists like First World Bank and The Diamond, you'll have an easier time with the Casino!
Also, even though you like Burglar for now, I definitely recommend switching to Hacker for this one in particular: clearing the staff areas while ignoring the cameras will make it a thousand times easier, and then the only risky part will be moving up and down the casino, which comes down to well-executed sprint-crouch-jumping!
just askin....why not use judge? and btw can u play multpiler with custom huds what i mean is.. if other guys dont haf that hud woud you be able to play with them?
Hey there Mr Nonobody! I use the Locomotive 12G simply because of personal preference! Many players use the Judge shotgun because it can reach slightly higher concealment values, but once you have some basic concealment mods on your weapons, you can reach the minimum detection rating of 3 with many weapon combinations. For this reason, since concealment isn't a concern for me anymore, I use the Locomotive instead, because I prefer the way it looks! Back in the old days, the Judge didn't exist so I got used to the Locomotive being the stealth shotgun, and I never really liked how the Judge looks (the weapon is a bit too small for me, so I prefer the Locomotive much more!), so I never made the change :)
As for your second question, custom HUDs affect only your client, so you can play in any lobbies with players using no HUDs or other HUDs, no incompatibilities at all!
"the weapon is bit to small to me"
@@bariax2 They do say size doesn't matter, but in this case the Locomotive is clearly bigger, and cooler! :p
is that the locomotive shotgun if so what are the mods to make the detection level a 3
Hey there, EyeSoWrld! That's indeed the Locomotive 12G. Here's my list of mods to make it compatible with a detection rating of 3:
· BARREL EXT: The Silent Killer Supressor.
· GADGET: LED Combo. (if you want more concealment, you can switch this one for a Compact Laser Module -- or just remove the gadget)
· GRIP: Straight Grip.
· MAGAZINE: Extended Magazine.
· STOCK: Tactical Shorty Stock.
Everything else is empty (except for boost and ammunition, which have no effect on concealment. I use Team Boost and 000 Buckshot). Also, my weapon skin is Immortal Python (unlocked at 1,000 achievements).
Thanks
@@eyesowrld838 You're welcome! :)
Your Turotial helped me a lot. thanks
You're welcome! Glad it helped :D
What mod makes the custom music in the preplanning, and what song is it?
Hey Lord Floppa! No mod needed to set it like that (it's a default feature to change the track of all menus), and the song is called _Drifting._
Uhm thanks for the epic tutorial but I put the dentists loot in the van first and lost all that potential cash that I had just bagged. Though it only took me like 4 tries thanks to your vid!
Hey again jessejames! Hopefully after the full run you understood exactly how the drinks work :) Usually after seeing it yourself it makes more sense. Glad the guide helped!
Also, as you noticed, when going for all loot, just drop the Dentist's loot next to the van, without securing it until the very end! :D
Cool video... again..
I think you can never make a bad video.
And yes, I always go through this mission .. alone. Because random people don’t know how to do it and do it their own way or because I don’t have friends xD
Thank you Greefoon, I appreciate that a lot!! :)
I also do this one solo usually, it's very big so very often someone messes it up. I believe there are better maps to play with random crews, but with an organized crew this one is also nice :)
Hey Marc, great video! Where i can find the long guide?
Glad you liked it nico! You can find The Long Guide right here :) steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=267214370
@@Marcmb Thanks!
@@nico_dibattista Happy to help! It's really long, so take your time reading :D
5 guards walk to the back section. after we have answered 4 pagers back there a 5th guy still walks in.
I'm considering leaving the main rightside guard alive next time and killing all of the patrolling guards from the main floor and the left side guy since that's the business side of the building. I think this was made harder at some point because I used to solo stealth this all the time but it seems stupidly hard now for some reason. I have 2000 hours in game and have stealthed everything many times. And I have tried to do Golden Grin for 3 nights in a row now, fail after fail after fail. I don't know wtf happened but something is definitely different.
Hey Steven! If you perhaps changed your build, you might have forgotten about silent drills?
If you place loud drills in the vault, guards from the main lobby might be lured in (if they walk above the vault), and if you place a loud drill in the manager's safe, the locker room guard might be lured up (if the locker room spawns close to it).
Could that have been your issue? Especially if you're playing with multiple heisters, each with their separate stealth build, and each doing their own thing.
Thanks for this amazing guide!! I've finished this heist thanks to u
but one thing I did not understand is the bottles, how did u know it's blue without even masking? is it because the white guy always makes it blue, or is it random
Hi shiro! Glad the guide helped, and congrats on the completion! :D
I recently made a video which explains the bottle stuff more clearly: check this out, and let me know if you have any further questions! th-cam.com/video/1W5speaTzPY/w-d-xo.html The bottle colors are always random, but the slot machine assigned to each civ is always the same.
thx mate really helped me out
Awesome! Glad to hear the guide helped :)
What is that Shotgun Set up your using? I'm really curious to improve my weapon options
Hey Chickadee! That's the Locomotive 12G, a very useful stealth shotgun :)
5:08 alternatively you could just cut left and reduce the risk of getting caught in the casino… some civvies like standing behind the slot machines so
I'd rather not go left because there's 2 guards out there plus civs can be coming in and out of the different doors and the bathroom... the right side is generally much safer, although I always check behind the slot machines before jumping forward, to avoid instant detections!
Curious. What happen if alarm goes off while in civillian mode. Consider the hésiter didn't got any gear. Or will they 'magically' get their gear after alarm go off?
Couldn't really test it since I don't have pd2 owning friends. Or they don't have time to.
Hey PieDecky! Good question :D
If I recall correctly, the game forces you to mask up even if you didn't pick up your gear, so that if you start with the stealthy approach but it goes loud, everyone can fight even if they didn't take their gear :p
10:57 i never knew Dallas was such an acrobat
Hahah, it's good to know that all laser patterns can be avoided or jumped through, but most heisters just prefer waiting one or two more seconds :p
Once I was playing this heist, the alarm went off because I didn't answer a pager but the game let me escape with the van
Hey GameIvan! Were you hosting, or was it someone else's lobby? You have the option of buying the "Van escape" (for 8 favors), so that the van will wait for you regardless of what happens, so that may have been the reason!
Or it could be that unanswered pagers are treated similarly to the lasers being triggered, so the van doesn't leave if you're very close to finishing!
What shotgun do you use just out of curiosity. This guide was really super helpful too I was able to beat death sentence on here thanks to it
Hey K M! Thank you for the comment, glad I was able to help with that! Congratulations on a heist well done! :)
As for my shotgun, that's the Locomotive 12G, a very useful stealth shotgun. I personally always use it because it looks really nice, and it can also change a lot (visually, from a 1st player perspective) depending on the mods you use. If you want to reproduce this exact look, here's the list of mods that I use (probably the most common stealth Loco setup):
· BARREL EXT: The Silent Killer Supressor.
· GADGET: LED Combo. (if you don't have enough concealment, you can switch this one for a Compact Laser Module -- or just remove the gadget)
· GRIP: Straight Grip.
· MAGAZINE: Extended Magazine.
· STOCK: Tactical Shorty Stock.
· AMMUNITION: 000 Buckshot.
· BOOST: Team Boost.
· SKIN: the new "Crypto" color that was obtained from the now removed LockeBreacher puzzle -- the settings I chose for the color are Paint Scheme: Inverted; Wear: Mint-Condition; Pattern Scale: Medium!
@@Marcmb looking now and on console I don't think we have it all 12g shotguns we've got:
Stakeout
Joceline O/U
Mosconi
IZHMA
Breaker
Predator
The other shotguns not listed as 12g are
Reinfeld 880
M1014
Raven
Thank you for the reply anyway I keep forgetting not all content made it our way
@@KM-jb3vg Hey K M! I don't recognize all the names, but I do recognize some. The Raven, for example, is a *primary* shotgun, so you may be looking at the wrong category! The Locomotive 12G is a *secondary* shotgun, and it has been in the game since the very early patches, so it should be on console for sure!
@@Marcmb oh its a secondary I wouldn't have thought I'm such a dolt yeah those are all the primarys I even check the dual wield list and it wasnt there never even thought to check secondary
@@KM-jb3vg Haha, no worries! That's most certainly it then, because I'm 99.99% positive that console players have the Locomotive too :p
Crouch jumping can really not be overstated, you can get away with so much doing that
Hey zzRedzz! You are absolutely right. It's so useful in pretty much all stealth heists, that I would consider it an essential "skill" that everyone should learn in order to be better at stealth!
What shotgun, and with what mods, is that? It seem to launch enemies much further than mine, great video:)
Hey Pleckso! That's a Locomotive 12G, a very useful stealth shotgun. The list of mods, if you want to reproduce the same look, is the following:
· BARREL EXT: The Silent Killer Supressor.
· GADGET: LED Combo. (if you want more concealment, you can switch this one for a Compact Laser Module -- or just remove the gadget)
· GRIP: Straight Grip.
· MAGAZINE: Extended Magazine.
· STOCK: Tactical Shorty Stock.
Everything else is empty (except for boost and ammunition, which have no effect on concealment. I use Team Boost and 000 Buckshot). Also, my weapon skin is Immortal Python (unlocked at 1,000 achievements).
However, note that your choice of shotgun and mods should not affect how they launch enemies (the exception being certain ammo types, namely Dragon's Breath, AP Slug, and HE rounds, which remove the launch effect). In order for the launch to work, you have to be at 5m or less from the enemy. The launch distance increases as you get closer (capped at 2.5m), but if you go way too close and shoot while you're physically inside the enemy, they will drop right on the spot (no launch). Also the angle at which you shoot your weapon also has an important effect.
I hope this helps :) Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoyed the video!
@@Marcmb Thanks for the elaborate answer and the tips! I use the Raven shotgun for stealth so that works fine I guess, interesting to see that the launch effect didn't depend on the weapon. Guess I'll have to just practice how I shoot NPCs:) Hope you keep making more content like this btw!
@@pleckso You're welcome! The Raven is a good one, even though I don't see it often! It's especially good because, being a primary shotgun (unlike most others, which are secondaries) it can give good versatility to your loadouts.
Glad that you're enjoying the content! Thank you, and stay tuned for more! :)
What shotgun are you using? Also, is it necessary to dominate the guards before killing them?
Hey Mozzie! For the second question: it's not necessary, but it allows you to reposition them better, and also makes sure that the next guard won't shoot on sight (see my top video in my channel titled "Why do guards shoot during stealth").
As for the first question, the shotgun is the Locomotive 12G: free and available for both PC and console. If you want to see the list of weapon mods, check out my "saw build" video in the description, which shows the weapon+attachments!
@@Marcmb Thanks for the help!
I didnt Know about the 1 laser IS good to go. Is that the same in all heist ?
Hey Alucard! For most heists yes, like for example Murky Station or Yacht Heist. However, it's not exactly the same in all heists, because most have their unique laser patterns. GO Bank for example has lasers that can connect diagonally (rather than just horizontally), and Big Bank doesn't have a visual indicator of the different laser heights so it's hard to say which one is the lowest, the 2nd lowest, etc!
At 2:21 for some reason the camera doesn't see the guard there so I've been wasting my PCM on that my entire time whenever I dominated him to control my arrest cooldown :P
That's correct! That camera is very, very weird... it has normal vision, but it's always very delayed. Not sure what causes it to be like that...
