Thank you Enio! I guess when you're keeping track of every single guard in the heist, it can feel like there's more enemies, because you're actively looking at all of them :p
@@Marcmb I don't play anymore, but when/if they do release payday 3..i'll likely come back. On that day, i'd be honored to rob a bank with you, friend. :)
I remember when I would just walk straight into a guard and fail the heist embarrassingly! Very thorough and detailed video. Explanations are easy to follow and understand. The ending was priceless! I didn't know that was even possible!
Thank you Doc! It's always funny when that happens in public lobbies :p I'm surprised you watched the whole thing in 360p! It's taking forever to process HD for some reason, even though it's only 30% longer than my latest videos :(
@@Marcmb weird that my computer said it was uploaded 35 seconds ago, anyway it wouldn't have been a problem since I have limited internet here and always watch videos in 144p :)
I know the feeling of just accidentally walking into guards, I always got cocky and didn't take any form of berth around a corner and ended up screwing it over
@@gameivan4638 Hey GameIvan! The video was indeed scheduled to be released about 30 minutes ago (I chose the earliest time available, after it finished processing 1440p), so the time shown by your computer is right :D However, Doc was helping me with a few things, and he wanted to watch the video even at 360p, so I gave him an early link :p
I can see why people hate this heist but with thorough planning it can be completed with ease, I personally don’t mind this, and I play it for Alesso’s music when blowing the C4
Hey Valix_Assassin! The heist does indeed become much easier with some good preplanning: especially bringing those trip mines, that make the trips up and down absurdly easy. Good to see that some heisters out there enjoy this heist :) I particularly like the vault design (very cool to see), and I enjoy the gameplay the heist offers. Thank you for watching, and hope you enjoyed the video! :D
Personally, I find Jewelry Store/Ukranian to be my least favorite simply because of how boring it is. This one is more tedious, but actually has risk involved with it. I was able to, surprisingly, pass it on my first ever attempt. Haven't been able to stealth it since, in 10+ tries XD
Hey Blonde! I can see why some people dislike it, because it's very linear (not many options to complete it because the objectives can only be done in one specific order), and with poor planning it can get very repetitive after a few restarts. However, with a strategy that works easily 100% of the time, it's quite a fun heist! :p
This heist is one of the few reasons why I have a carry stacker mod, boring bag moving once you secure the area with no challenge, just a deterrent against playing solo. It's a shame some of the best solo heists have that very stage so drawn out
i played on switch(feels bad, when i get a pc imma play online) and kinda had to play solo, thus if i wanted to have fun, i had to do the easier ones first in order to be able to do anything on the actual good ones, thus i've found stealth(ai for friends sucks) and the jewelry store/diamond store.(and if i had known about it, the stealth copy-right printing mission) These missions were easy and rewarded a fairly good amount of money/exp for a solo person The longer missions were tedious in stealth as if i messed up anywherr i had to completely reset thus longer heists were a no go(especially with the trash joysticks of the switch)
I appreciate these videos, They're very detailed and thorough, and even when i think i know everything about a particular stealth heist you always seem to have some new information that i just havent come across in my playtime. Great video. :)
Thank you very much, Wolfcub! Sometimes, when a certain topic in the video gets too long, I worry that people will find it too overwhelming or repetitive, so it's good to hear that you enjoy all the details -- I appreciate that a lot! :)
Ah Marc, your stealth guides are always on point. For me this is one of the hardest (also one of the most boring) stealth heists in the game. Will use this video if I'll ever want to torture myself lol.
Thank you Shok, I appreciate that a lot! The heist gets repetitive quickly after a few restarts (heist is very linear, with only one possible order to do the objectives), but with a strategy that works 100% of the time easily, it becomes quite a fun heist :)
Good luck with that Ascoolas! With this strategy, you should be able to get some very nice results!! If you run into anything unexpected that I didn't cover in this long guide, feel free to come back here and ask! :)
Just powering through career, and your stuff is really helpful. I really liked this heist! One big reason being the music design. You get a taste immediately, and as you get further down, the music goes quieter. But then there's a big buildup when you climb back up to the pyrotechnics room past allll of those guards, and you get a nice climactic moment. Then as you go back to work, it calms back down, while you get to enjoy an expertly prepared peace.
Happy to hear that my tips are helping you through the career mode, Zakru! I also really love that about this heist. They were very smart and programmed the background music as an SFX, allowing them to modify its volume depending on your distance to the concert (rather than standard BGM, which would have constant volume), which works really well and makes you feel more involved in the situation. Really amazing stuff!
Hey Yama, that's right! I really wanted to make a Viklund concert just to have some fun with the editing :p So I downloaded a mod called "Disable Alesso Heist Music" which made it very straightforward to add Viklund's song over that part of the footage :)
Of the 8 times I beat this on DS/OD, I never thought of going from top to bottom, the amount of resets I had to do cause of being caught sneaking back down after going up. Thanks for that tip man!
Thanks Aidan! That's something that I do every run, so I'm glad it can be useful to other players as well! Happy to hear it has helped you, thank you :D
This is probably one of my most disliked heists to play loud so I go stealth everytime and here I thought I know everything i need to know. Good video man, keep up the great work. I only recently subcribed but I love your content
Hey Rabinowitz! I also play this heist only in stealth, although it's a bit different for me -- because in general I play stealth only :p Thank you for subscribing, and I'm glad that you enjoyed this video and the content in general -- I appreciate that a lot! :)
Stealthed this for the first time, I forgot to bring mines but still did it because of you I knew where guards could be so (thanks to you!) I didn’t get spotted around corners. Probably one of my most favorite heists now. Thanks!
That's good to hear, FaDon! Impressive that you managed to do it without trip mines, since they help a lot! But indeed, with some luck, and good timing, it's definitely possible without the trip mines. Glad the information about the guards helped you, and good to know you were able to enjoy the heist! I really like this one for solo stealth too :)
I did it with mines and without, I use mines when I need quick exp, and no mines when I want a fun, challenging time. Alesso is one of those stealth maps that is in tight corridors, but still takes a challenge while not having to wait for guards to move much and also with straight objectives. A really fun one to solo indeed!
@@thej6472 Very nice! That's definitely a good way to go about that -- mines when you want a reliable run, and no mines when you want more difficulty. Very good! :D
An amazing guide as always! This heist, though, is incredibly infuriating for me, both Loud and Stealth. Stealth has to deal with an army of guards, Loud has to deal with an actual army stealing loot while you're still trying to move it (I like to constantly move my loot into piles but they get taken when I try to move the next bag to the pile). Although this map is quite possibly the most beautiful and atmospheric one in the game, never once in either version did I think "Meh just another average stealth-optional heist". Edit: I only just realized it with this video, bit I love the little pitter-patter of feet when you speed up sprinting xD
Hey Alex! Glad you liked the guide, thank you! :) I've never played it loud (I'm a stealth-only player!) but I can definitely see how something like that would happen, when moving 18 money bags. I agree that the heist itself is beautiful -- I especially liked the vault design, as soon as I saw it (looks very cool and clean), and the plan to steal from it is also very original :) And yeah, surprisingly, the ingame sounds for PAYDAY 2, when sped up at x4 or x3 rate, sound surprisingly nice!!
Really great, well detailed and informative guide, it actually helped me finally complete this heist in full stealth after countless fails, so huge thanks to you, man! After watching it, it still took about 10-15 tries to optimize my strategies and all that, but the guide definitely improved my overall approach. However, on one of those runs I had myself sabotaged by the game itself; I finally reached the sawing process, never have I ever got that far. I was in complete euphoria, as I carefully managed the forklifting and safe-sawing. I even got the Capital Hill Candy spawn, which was especially great, since I previously killed that guard, and I had no more pagers left (I killed the two at the basement, and one usptairs as well). I'm not kidding you, I was moving the forklift to the last location, and as I tried to get out; I couldn't, because one of those goddamn money piles somehow blocked it. I tried to move as fast as possible, but the camera still spotted me, and as I tried to escape (I drove into a wall and that somehow fixed it lol), a freaking skulldozer ended all my hopes and dreams. I exited the game and didn't touch it for a day, only for me to complete the heist first try when I next opened it up. So yeah, always look on the bright side of life. And thanks again for the guide!
You're absolutely welcome Baci! Happy to hear the guide helped :D As for the forklift block thing, it has happened to me once, and it's the worst situation ever... the game literally says the exit is blocked just because there's a money on top of you, which can often last for quite a while and end in disaster. It took nearly a minute for me to free myself (driving back and forth to push the money off), although luckily for me it happened away from the cameras. If it had been in front of a cam, my run would've died just like yours, ouch...
This is great timing for me, as my friend and I tried to stealth this several times the other day and kept messing up before we could place the C4. Thanks to this, we should do much better when we try again.
Hey Badger! It's always great to post a video with perfect timing :) Hopefully you and your friend can enjoy the heist with this strategy! The heist is very linear (you can't do objectives ahead of time) so the overall heist will look very similar to mine. For this reason, one strategy that works REALLY WELL for duo is to have one player masked up, and another player following him in casing mode, marking the civilian (via Sixth Sense) and the guard in each area. This gives a lot of information combined with the trip mines, so with this approach, it's impossible to fail! And you can take turns alternating who is masked up and who is in casing mode, so it's a lot of fun to play in my opinion :)
Thank you Giovanni! Very kind and very nice feedback, much appreciated! I'll do my best to keep it up, and I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the content! :)
@@Marcmb we failed mostly because he just infamied and didnt have any good skills for stealth. The funniest fail we had was when he put on his mask in the crowd after unmasking at the end lol.
@@ghostly9548 I see! Doing it with very little skills (especially no trip mines, no cam loop...) is gonna be much more challenging here, indeed :) That's one way to fail the heist haha! Never seen anyone masking on purpose, as that will trigger the van to leave instantly :p
Ahh Alesso Heist,conceptually one of the cooler heists but it takes so goddam long to do in both loud and stealth and it's not as fun as Golden Grin,this was very helpful tho,been playing for so many years and yet I had no clue about the TV interaction in the basement very niceee The trip mines placements will also come in very handy,I always bring them with me in this one just like for the Diamond but simply place em where it feels right lol Honestly this heist wouldn't be such a chore if it wasn't for the basement cameras,and man if only they added spycams..
Hey Alex! First of all, very sorry for my very late response. I've been busy the last 3 days editing today's video (which ended up being 30 minutes long, so it took much longer than expected) and so I have been unable to read/answer comments to focus on that. Whenever I think about rating this heist, I also always compare it to GGC. For crew play specially, they are like polar opposites: one is completely linear, forcing the objectives to be done in a very specific order, and while everyone else waits when not involved in the current step. The other gives you complete freedom to simultaneously complete all objectives in any order, which is much better. Luckily, for solo play the linearity doesn't matter, so I can enjoy it as a nice solo heist :) And for sure, trip mines are very powerful here! And spycams in THE Diamond are easily the best asset there :)
Thank you very much Tejay! At some points I was worried I may be going too in-depth, so I'm glad that this level of detail is appreciated! Good to have that kind of feedback :)
Marcmb I think it’s cool to see someone just absolutely master something and know everything about it so I find it quite fun to watch even if I’m not watching it for the actual guide
@@tejayplant7069 I see, that makes sense! Glad that you're enjoying this kind of content, I apperciate it a lot! :) I see what you mean because I also enjoy for example watching other PAYDAY 2 streamers when I have time, even though I've done those heists countless times :p
Again an extremely thorough video! I only have three small things to add. 1. When getting the c4, you can actually get c4 through the wall in either configuration, it's just when the room is straight the hitbox is slightly weirder (can save 1-2secs) 2. When coming back down from the pyrotechnics booth, it's much faster if you jump down to the top of the booth in the lobby and onto the stairs to the kitchen (the area around 13:37) 3. When escaping the heist, it's actually faster and safer to alert a guard/camera and have the heist go loud, go up to area again at 13:37 and escape there. Saves a lot of time. Other than that, great video, has all the other tricks that I know and use-- : )
Hey Mot! Very nice speedrunning tips as usual :) I'll definitely keep them in mind if I go for a speedrun! (1) I guess if I play around with the "seed" value that you mentioned last time (the one that also determines where the guards will be), I can get the good RNG not only for the closets that have the red X, but also for the pile of boxes inside that contains the actual C4? To save a lot of time I mean. (2) That sounds very interesting! I knew about (3) from old speedruns, but I've never seen such a fast shortcut! Does that mean that you jump from the balcony, straight down to the booth in the lobby? Like the red booth that you can see at 0:18 in the video (left side of the screen)? (3) Definitely a big time save, indeed :p I remember this one from old speedruns, where they complete the heist even before Bile gets there because the escape pad appears so quickly. I didn't cover many speedrunning aspects on this one (it's a long heist so I definitely tried to teach safety rather than speed :p) but it sounds very promising for some kind of speedrun video!
@@Marcmb Yeah number 2 is exactly as you say, just make sure you don't fall on the ground and go down lmao. Number 1 is also as you say. Silent saw is probably perfect for this map as well. The speedrun of this map is less than 10 minutes which is totally ridiculous lol~
@@Mot-dh5sx I see! Thanks for the confirmation, and for always giving me insight and clarifications regarding the RNG Modifier mod! I'm gonna have a lot of free time during August, so I may be trying some speedrunning for fun! :p
Marcmb I’ll look forward to seeing what you have in store : ) the most satisfying feeling in a speedrun is when you use your ecms to block a pager, do an objective, and come back perfectly on time~
@@Mot-dh5sx For sure! I've seen that happening in some speedruns, and it's so satisfying :p I have some ideas for a few speedruns, so hopefully they don't disappoint! :D
Hey Braden! Get ready to never fail this heist again, because with this strategy, your success rate is gonna skyrocket! :p In my opinion, the consistent trip mine marks make the strategy very reliable, and the heist easier. Going up and down is no longer a problem, because of how safe it is!
My friend and I just bought the game and this was one of our first heists. It took us a few days but we finally managed to do the heist stealth. I decided to search up other runs and watching this guide has made me realize how helpful trip mines are and that there are preplanning assets we could have bought lol. Great guide overall but it is possible to get rid of the security room guard to disable cameras, even in the entrance lobby. Its very risky due to the two civs standing near by but you can get rid of their detection by crouching right next to the table they are at. After, as long as the guards are not walking down or facing the door it becomes possible to lock pick and kill the guard. There is one civ that does detect the body if it falls into the center of the security room, but you can get the body to fall alongside the table. Then bag it and shove it in the corner of the room and sprint out. Its honestly not worth it though since you have to make your way all the way back to the top to pick up the c4.
Very nice Plants! Congrats to you and your friend for your first stealth completion, and I'm glad that my guide was able to teach you a few useful tricks for future runs :) There are indeed some tricks to be able to get rid of cams (even in that spawn), but as you say it's a lot of trouble, so most people get used to just dealing with the cameras and keeping that pager for emergencies, since the cams aren't too bad on this heist!
Wow, ok. I tried this twice without any info, and it... didn't go well. Your guide is brilliant as always. Thanx a lot! I did have one big problem on my run, though... Down in the basement I had to move the forklift to a position that was covered by two cameras, so that was... interesting, as I couldn't just temporarily disable one. I ended up PECM'ing it, so I could put it into position.
Hey there Stefan once again! I feel like tonight I've been replying to comments for quite a while, since I had comments from a few days ago :p This one is indeed quite tricky to approach without a guide: lots of moving pieces, and a complex heist layout at first glance. Glad my tips helped! And yes indeed, sometimes the two cameras spawn in such a way that you'll have to either PCM or ECM to move the forklift safely. Sadly I couldn't get a clip of that back when I recorded this video!
Haha thank you so much Sefik, very kind of you! I'm glad that you're enjoying the content, and hopefully learning useful things from it :) I'll do my best to keep it up!
A safer shortcut on the way back to the basement from the booth is the balcony overseeing the stairwell with the pillars. You can simply spot the guard who patrols that area, verify he is walking towards the top or is at the bottom of the stairwell, then jump down and get behind cover.
Hey M3L0! I guess you mean the balcony that is to my right at 4:48 in the video? In the past I used that shortcut a lot too! But since I started using this trip mine placement, I always have the guard in the upper part of the stairwell marked, so for me it's now easier to go the long way around: this way I just have to check whether the second guard (the one at the lower floor) is in front of me or not, rather than having to check both left and right and then taking a very small risk as I jump down!
@@Marcmb In most cases it would be more efficient to take the path you were, especially with the tripmine placement. It really just comes down the location of the guards and whether it would be faster/safer to take the shortcut or sprint through. But you knew that already.
@@M3L0619 Based on your response it looks like you were indeed talking about that balcony at 4:48 :p I wanted to confirm, because I thought maybe you were talking about a different shortcut. As I mentioned, I used to be a fan of this shortcut, but the blind spot on the right due to the tight corner is so bad, that I always felt awful when the guard was turning the corner just as I jumped down... it can be faster for sure though, and it would definitely be worth considering for regular runs, with just one or two trip mines to get some vision on that guard!
Thank you for this guide, it helped a lot. I got to the very end of the heist but accidentally got money stuck in the forklift which blocked me from getting out of the vehicle until the camera loop ended, then I failed.
Glad the guide helped, Heathinator! The money stuck situation is quite rare yup, but very punishing... At the time of recording this guide, I had never experienced it! It basically happens when a money bundle drops right in front of you, so you need to move the forklift back and forth until you can push it off.
Good to hear that Tele! Have fun with the tips, and I definitely recommend the same trip mine placements or slight variations! Especially the mines that keep guards marked when they are stopped, those are very useful to keep guards permanently marked :)
@@Marcmb Will do! Rewatching the placements a few times to get a general memory of where they should go right now. Gonna try and do it pacifist for a while, cause the mask for that achievement looks sick-
@@DerpyBattleMaid Ah, pacifist is a fun challenge to do! It will be harder, but strategy-wise it's very similar to my run, except that you can't kill the civs like I did, but I guess you could tie them... Also, I don't remember right now, but I think you can dominate the guards to get rid of them without killing them, and that should still count to get the achievement I think! Good luck learning the trip mine locations, after a few runs it just becomes kinda like muscle memory :)
@@Marcmb Yeah, my idea was dominating the guards because it doesn't count as a kill, I remember it was the strategy used to deal with the guards in the all achievements Tijuana ECM Rush
@@DerpyBattleMaid That definitely seems to be the way to go! Technically not a kill, so it will count for this heist just like it did for Tijuana :) Alternatively... If it doesn't seem to be doable, and you want the mask quickly, rather than doing the achievement for fun... (click read more for spoilers) You can buy the heist in normal difficulty, and do it loud while ignoring the weak cops... easy way to get the Pacifist achievement! But trying it repeatedly until you succeed in an actual stealth pacifist is more satisfying :)
As usual youtube notifications told me about this video after 4 hours XD I must say right away that this is my favorite heist, because Alesso. But the video is still great. Keep up the good work!
Hey there Greefoon! We'll never understand how TH-cam notifications work exactly :p but you're still here quite early! :) I'm glad that you liked the video, thank you! And I'll to my best to keep it up :)
Thank you James! That's indeed a very useful tool, makes the guard killing very safe and reliable because there's never a camera pointing right at the TV. The guards take quite a while to notice the TV and go there though, so like I mentioned in the video I definitely recommend doing it before going to check the last C4 area :)
One small detail that I believe deserves a note. Sometimes you get two cams in the vault area if RNG doesn't like you, and looping them at the same time while moving the forklift isn't really the best option (although with a competent pair you might be able to abuse the few seconds where the game lets you loop a new cam as the old one is about to exit loop). Fortunately pocket ECMs are an excellent solution to this, since you can just activate them, then enter the forklift and move it under ECM. If it wasn't for those I'd bring Burglar for faster lockpick speed because some C4 spawns are just terrible. Such a problem usually shows itself in 4P pubs.
Hey ForAllEpsilon! That's a good point, actually. There can indeed be 2 cameras in the vault area (quite often), and using pocket ECMs if you're ever in a troublesome situation is quite a straightforward solution. However, from my experience, whenever there's 2 cameras, they are set up with very large blind spots so that, if you move properly (behind the columns and boxes) the forklift is only in the field of view of one camera at a time. For example, at the example I show at 9:51, there's 2 cameras in the vault area, but only 1 is spotting the forklift at any given time. The second camera can be seen at 9:55 (right behind the forklift) but it's placed in such a way that you can move across half the basement while being spotted by only one camera, and whenever the other camera sees you, there are blind spots for the previous one. However, as you say, there may be combinations that don't have this kind of "blind" spots -- but if they do exist, I've never noticed them because, as you suggest, I play this one with Hacker always, so I wouldn't have noticed. If I ever make an appendix for this guide, I'll check that aspect more thoroughly, and add a few clips. Thank you for the feedback! :)
on my final attempt (it was like a 4th or 3rd 0_0 ) i forgot to put the trip mines in the propper places, when it got to the basement part, ive killed the guards (lucky lucky), and just looped one of the cameras (the 2nd one was in the corridor near the basement) and started moving the bags. but by the time i had to throw them in the vent, i didnt have any body bags or pagers! so i put all of the trip mines i had all around the red squares! i was so lucky not to get caught there! Huge thanks to this video, i had a somewhat good understanding of where and how to move. Thank you Marcmb
Glad the trip mine tips and the general tips helped, rosee! This is quite a big heist, so completing it in just 3 attempts without fully placing all the trip mines is a great achievement! Good backup plan, and glad the knowledge from the guide was able to help :)
Just spent 30 minutes on my first try, everything went perfectly, secured all loot just to fail it at the end because i ran into a guard... Bruh. Ty for the tutorial tho big fan here! Still watching and learning in 2022
Ouch! Failing at the very end is always a shame, but if you got there once, reaching that same spot will be easier the next time!!! Glad the guide is still being useful years later, and best of luck in your next attempts Drip Monkey :D
You're welcome meaty martin! As you can see from the video, the tricky parts of the heist become much easier when following this strategy, so hopefully you will have fun trying it out! Good luck in your attempts! :)
Hey Gary! I'm glad that you think so, I appreciate that a lot! I have to say though, that I'm fine being where I am! The channel has been growing a lot, the community is very positive, and I get a lot of support in all my videos, so I'm having a great time! :)
@@MarsInfernum Awesome! Glad that the recommended brought you here, and that these videos are making the game more enjoyable for you :) Thanks for watching, and I hope you'll enjoy the upcoming content too! :D
Thank you Sam, glad you liked that! There were a few "general ideas" I wanted to present before starting with the gameplay, so I felt like this video needed a slightly longer introduction to not feel rushed. Happy to hear that the end result is nice, thanks a lot!! :)
I've done this heist on death sentence twice now (never solo though) and I figured out the C4 spawns and stuff like that by myself. This video was a lot more helpful though. Thanks marcmb!
Hey TP N0VA! I'm happy to hear that even though you had already completed the heist twice, the video was still useful. Good to know that my suggestions, or general information, were helpful, thank you! :)
@@Marcmb I have to say that's it's easier solo because of desync (on console :/) but I still lag quite a lot if I am the host, like how I just failed the heist because I got instantly detected by a civilian.
@@tpn0va941 I agree 100% that it's easier solo! Not only because of desync, but it's also easier to mess up with more people moving around... Instant detection by civs sucks when it happens, that's why I bring pocket ECMs (good for emergencies) and I get rid of most civs that can often cause problems...
I'm loving all the little details like the current song's name being played. You're progressing a lot in your editing, and we're noticing it. I do wonder how do you record in free cam though, like the part where you're showing the map near the start. I don't recall the game has that feature where you can roam freely like that.
Thank you Nathan! I like trying new small things when a video gives me the chance to do so, so I'm glad the new details I'm including are good! :) As for the free cam recording, as Enio replied (very quickly btw, I was sleeping back then :p) it's a mod that introduces free cam. I generally used it only for the thumbnails, but this time I used it for the "guard distribution" part because I wanted to make it very visual, explaining the number of guards in each section while clearly showing how they are connected!
I remember the first time I tried to do this in stealth with a friend, and we failed, many, many times. It was hell, and we just gave up to frustration after a couple hours of trying. Now I can complete it consistently with ease. I always though I had to kill the camera guard because of the downstairs area, I thought the cameras would notice the C4 going off and instantly fail lol. Or the money bundles falling, and I didn't want to worry about always having the cameras on loop. So that's always the first thing I did in this heist. It's complicated if the camera room spawns in the lobby area, but not impossible and requires a lot of patience. Then I always kill the 2 guard downstairs, and the guard that is in whatever kitchen that we need to deliver the loot. The hard part is just moving upstairs and downstairs without getting caught. Your trip mine tips will make this heist even easier for me though, I learned this heist through trial and failure before I learned how useful trip mines are for stealth.
nice explanation, didnt know about the TV. but man i prefer the original song in the put up a show box. only thing i miss is the refernce to the parking ticket, gj man, solid.
Thank you Ralvsen, glad you liked it! All opinions are good opinions, and the original song in the heist is decent too! I really like how it sounds louder the closer you are to the concert -- being very quite if you're down in the basement. However, I'm a big fan of Viklund's music so I wanted to record the video with "I Will Give You My All" instead, which is a really cool song :p And unfortunately the parking ticket achievement can only be done in loud, but I could have mentioned or shown the spot for that yeah!
You're welcome, TdIaA! Happy to hear the guides are helping, thank you! :) I'll definitely do my best to keep it up, and eventually have one guide for every single heist :D
I really love this map, and as loud, and as stealth. For me it's very easy heist, but I thank u for trip mines positions (especially in green room with possible locations of c4 on second floor). Great job m8 :3 Edit: I'm too lazy to look for these positions myself, so thank you again
You're welcome! I also enjoy this heist quite a lot, but I only play it in stealth :p After many tests, these are the trip mine positions that have worked the best for me (they seem to be the most reliable to keep everyone marked as often as possible), so I'm glad that you enjoyed that piece of information! Thank you for watching, and I hope you liked the content! :)
@@Marcmb ofc i liked the content :3 I hate GGC with all my heart. But after ur GGC stealth guide i feel myself dumb xD I hate GGC more than Goat Sim, and when u uploaded video guide, i was really happy, cuz it will help me to complete this heist on a second account without any huge problems...
@@The-Strongest-Fairy Awesome! I'm very happy to hear that :) I had a lot of fun recording the GGC video, so I'm glad that the tips were helpful! My personal favorites are: remembering the 6 lockers that may contain the briefcase, and also being able to recognize which of the 2 civilians has the keycard, as soon as you enter the casino :)
Haha glad you liked that Seres! I agree that this is pretty much the best song in the entire PAYDAY franchise. _I Will Give You My All_ is a song you can listen at almost any time, although other ones like _Drifting_ or _This Is Our Time_ are great too :D
Thank you Warum, I'm glad that this guide will be helpful to you! As you can see from the video, having so many guards marked so consistently makes this heist MUCH easier! Good luck with your attempts, and hope you enjoy the strategy! :)
@Warum nicht Haha, this one actually took quite a while to type! I like having a list of all my previous videos at the end of the video description, but it was getting quite long so I reorganized it by adding different categories. Then there were so many timestamps that I reached the limit of 5,000 characters, and I had to rethink it all a little bit! But I like having a nice description, so it was worth it -- thank you for checking it out! :p Oh and as for the fast response, reading the comments is the best part of making TH-cam content, so I read and reply as soon as I have some free time! :)
This is one of my favorites to play with friends, so have gotten quite familiar with it over the years, but never operated the TV in the basement while the guards were still alive so had no idea about that handy function. Thank you, watching your video delivered again. Coincidentally, do you have any preferred ways of using the 4th pager? I tend to use the same three as you but still undecided on where I like to use the last one between shooting both Red Squares and Capitol Hilly Candy guards early to save time during the back-and-forth trips, shooting the guard at the bottom of the stairs since he's the one that tends to give the most nasty surprises, shooting the cameraman if he happens to have the middle room or just keeping it as insurance in case of screw-ups. What are your experiences on this?
Thank you Tazane, glad you enjoyed it! The TV is indeed just a small detail that's usually not really necessary, especially when playing with a crew, so it makes sense that you never had a chance to try it out :p It can be very helpful if you quickly go there ahead of time, because then you can kill the two guards with zero risk, even though it's usually not that risky anyway! As for the 4th pager, I usually always save it for possible mistakes. I'm very careful around the guard at the bottom of the stairs, so he's usually not a problem for me. However, mistakes can happen at any point in the heist, so I just use that extra pager if I make a mistake at any point, and I know that I'm fine since I had one to spare anyway :) Sometimes I consider killing the security guard on my way up, if the basement cameras are in nasty positions and I'm not in the mood for spamming camera loop, but generally the cameras aren't that bad, and it's likely that the camera room won't even be in an accessible location anyway, so generally I don't even bother checking!
Thanks for the guide, it helped me a lot with this heist. I noticed that the guard at the console booth never really went to the console, he just patrols around the entrance until all C4 explodes. Sadly I messed up my run somehow during the escape because I got detected from I don't know what just 2 meters from the escape box. Edit: Finally beat the heist on stealth, that escape had my heart racing and was annoying as hell though
Congrats on the completion, Jo! Glad the guide helped :) That escape can be very nerve-wracking and tense yup, especially when you're finally reaching it after many stealth attempts!
Hey Niicko! Hopefully the guide will help you :) As you can see, the suggested trip mine placements are very helpful, because you have so much information all the time, that it becomes much easier. Good luck with your attempts, and if you need any clarifications or have any questions, feel free to leave another comment! :)
One thing I didn't see mentioned (unless I missed it) was one of the most unique things about the guards on this heist compared to all other stealth heists. Their waypoints wait time is almost non-existent. This can trip up both new and experienced stealthers if they haven't encountered it before.
Hey TotalConScience! You are right, I didn't really mention that, but it's a really good point! I do believe that after some playthroughs most players will notice quite quickly, and I actually feel like it's better to have the guards constantly moving rather than idling for a while at their waypoints: it makes for more dynamic gameplay in my opinion :) There are still some situations where a guard will stop for a while at his waypoint, but in general there are also many situations where they turn around right after reaching their waypoint. I'm not sure if it was intentionally programmed to be like this, or if there's an unintended part of the code for this heist that causes it to run like this. As for why I didn't really mention it -- my suggested strategy has 14 trip mines placed in such a way that all the relevant guards will be marked almost constantly, except the 3 entrance guards (irrelevant), the one in the final kitchen (who stops being relevant very early in the heist), and the one at the bottom of the staircase (easiest one to avoid, and would waste too many trip mines to keep him marked with high uptime). Thus, when following this suggested strategy it doesn't really matter if they are idling at their waypoint, or moving to a new one, because with them being marked you have all the information you need to avoid them! And so the guards become very easy to avoid, regardless of what they are doing :) Like I said though, very good point, and it's very useful to keep that in mind to avoid any mistakes when you're moving very close to a guard and expecting him to stop for a while!
@@Marcmb don't get me wrong, I love the heist in stealth and this little quirk is part of that reason. Funnily enough the one guard you don't have a trip mine (edit: bottom of stairs) for is the most dangerous because he turns around so quickly, specially when you first pick the door's lock. Thankfully they introduced the faster interaction AI skill, but I cut my teeth on this hiest when it first came out, before that was a thing. So any new player may not have the coins or the knowledge to set that skill. Good work though, great video. Nothing's changed about the hiest in stealth and it's nice to see it get some love
@@TotalConScience Yeah it's a welcome aspect of this heist for sure :) Much better than guards sitting in place and forcing you to wait. I wouldn't say he's very dangerous (especially because there's a lot of cover to straight up ignore him, and you're guaranteed to see him on your way to the door) but you are right that opening that door used to be very risky. I remember the good old days playing with a full crew and needing 20s to open that door. You essentially had to wait until you confirmed the guard was going upstairs before starting the interaction, or you would get caught for sure. In fact, some of those memories are still with me to this day, and for that reason you can see that when I open the door at 7:00 I keep my camera on him because I expect him to come back very quickly :p but playing solo and with AI boosts, I like going fast rather than slowly waiting for the safest situations! :D
This heist is a nightmare untill u get an ide of the map layout. Most maps have an outside area or a big center area so u can get orientated abit. But this 1 only have very narrow rooms making navigation a giant pain if u dont already know the general layout.
Hey Shiftry! I agree with that completely. I've seen many new players struggling with the map layout, getting lost with the different entrances to the kitchen areas and how they are connected. The worst part is that the heist becomes very unforgiving once you start wasting pagers, so hopefully the video will be helpful for those new players! :)
Soloing this with no killing and then doing the Diamond broke me. I still have ptsd and they are both still my most played Heists. Wish I had had this video xd
Hey again Trasen! Doing this one pacifist is definitely a lot trickier. And if you challenge yourself to no pagers, then it's even more difficult. But every now and then, it's interesting to go for some challenges :p Hopefully this video will be helpful for players who find themselves in your past situation -- glad you consider it to be a helpful guide, thank you! :D
@@Marcmb For sure, though I still don't do anywhere near as much stealth as I used to because of one failure on it. I was moving the loot from the chute to the vent, on my last pager and one of the last bags. The guard saw me (I didn't figure out the c4, that would've been very useful) and so I tried to intimidate him, but instead he instantly cuffed me. Being that close and failing cus the ai decided not to get intimidated was so frustrating xd.
@@trasen5626 Ouch! Failing at the very end always hurts a lot, indeed. Hopefully next time the C4 placements avoid that issue completely :) But those fails are very frustrating, absolutely...
i couldn't even manage it in normal before, and i feel even trickier after watching your guide :| how do you manage to remember the guards' paths??? Xd
It's really simple Antonio! Watch the part at 1:06 a few times, and you will notice that the guards are almost STUCK in their respective sections. Really easy to avoid them!
Thank you GOLDspartan! Glad you're enjoying the guides, I appreciate that a lot! :) Framing Frame is in my list of requests so it will be done for sure, but for now I'm not sure when! There are a couple that have been requested more, so those are coming earlier for sure :p
This heist is pretty time consuming but it could be easy if your patient and wait for all the guards to pass by you. Anyways thanks for the vid it’s given me a lot of helpful tips:)
Hey Mrchains! It can indeed be a bit time-consuming, I agree. Some situations just force you to wait, to avoid run-killer risks. Luckily for most areas you can just run straight ahead, as long as you know where the guard for that area is located! Glad the video helped btw, good to hear :)
Yup there are 3 spawns in total for the camera room. Two in the upper floor, and one in the main lobby. Personally I prefer looping the cameras so I don't have to bother with the operator, but there are many heisters who prefer taking out cams!
Hey Mateo! Hope you enjoyed the video, I wouldn't want to disappoint when it's your favorite heist! I tried to include some helpful small details, so hopefully those will be helpful to you! :D
@@Marcmb They definitely were because I finally did it! I never thought of going from the top to the bottom. And that first trip mine that was placed really helped me because I usually fail when I bump into one of those 2 guards. Thank you so much!
@@youreprettygood1414 Awesome! Very glad to hear that. That first trip mine is one of my favorite strats too, because it's VERY easy to place at the beginning (after finding the two guards in casing mode) and it usually gives you a lot of information for free, when getting to the part where you have to cross that section. Shame that in my recorded run, neither of the two guards were marked, but generally it's a really powerful and easy mine :p
I saw this video so many times that when I hear the "Evil Eye" soundtrack, I always remember its intro xDD I didn't complete this heist yet, because I hadn't patience to it (lol) and also because I wasn't playing Payday 2 so much in the last days - Darksiders 2, a nice game :D -, but you can be sure this video will help me to complete this heist!
Hahah! It's a really good song, glad it reminds you of this! The trip mines really help a lot with this heist, so I'm sure you'll be able to complete it smoothly :D Never played Darksiders 2, but it's good to play a variety of games!
@@Marcmb I followed the trip mines placement, and I could reach the pyro booth. But the guard decided to enter te room very early, so I didn't have time to tie and hide the hostage. After that, I decided to try another day. But when I finally complete the heist, I'll let you know c:
@@gabmoita2198 Aww, that's very unlucky! That guard _very rarely_ enters the pyro booth, but when he does, he's more likely to do it the first time you enter, at the start of the objective... If you want, you can hack the laptop "through the booth", without alerting the civilian, which will give you more time to react if the guard decides to walk in early! Good luck :)
This one, Murky station and Border Crossing are my most hated stealth heists in game... playing them with random people is pain in the ***.... :/ Thanks for the videos tho! Very helpful even for those who have played the game for 1k+ hours!
Surprisingly, I agree with most of that! With so many heists in the game, it's a nice coincidence to see an opinion so similar to mine! Alesso Heist and Border Crossing are, in my opinion, the worst heists to play with a full crew... unfortunately they are just more reliable when played solo, and the fact that they are quite long can be a bit infuriating. Glad that you're enjoying the content, and happy to hear that it's entertaining to watch even as someone who has more than 1k hours! :)
I would agree with Alesso and Border crossing, but I don't agree with Murky station. Murky station is a great heist to train stealth, and it is easy too! Not too many guards, many strategies to complete it.
@@cloaker2813 I also agree that Murky Station is a fun one! But in general I like all stealth heists, except maybe Jewelry Store and Nightclub because they are among the worst "waiting simulators" :p
@@cloaker2813 Yeah loud printing in Counterfeit is not efficient at all... the multiple points you need to defend during the water pumping, and then the electricity during the printing... it's just much more efficient to print in stealth :p And that makes it a very efficient XP farm! Even faster than Cook Off, however you do need some company to not lose your mind :p
@@Marcmb I couldn't look into the sharpening settings of my video and it is still a bit blurry, but it starts to blur on a much far distance or fast color changes.
@@cloaker2813 If it blurs for fast color changes, there's two common explanations: (1) Bitrate. Any large amount of pixels rapidly changing will require recording at a higher bitrate to be able to store that information without artifacts. Try increasing the bitrate for your recording settings. (2) Motion blur. Check the settings from your game (raw footage) and your editing software.
@@Marcmb Ok, I will try that tomorrow. But I think it's the bitrate from OBS Studio that is still on the perfect bitrate for a 1080p video. Thanks for the tip.
Great video! I would appreciate it if there could be more tips on how to precisely line up and place the trip mines though, since sometimes missing a few units left or right would make that mine totally useless.
Hey bruce! First of all, very sorry for my very late response. I've been busy the last 3 days editing today's video (which ended up being 30 minutes long, so it took much longer than expected) and so I have been unable to read/answer comments to focus on that. As for your comment: I'm glad you liked the video, thank you! When I plan (and place) my trip mines, I try to always place them: (A) At the very end of a flat surface. (B) Roughly in the middle of a short surface, or below a noticeable asset. (C) Overlapping with the lines in the wall, or sometimes on top of black spots in the wall, if any. ...so that they are easy to remember. Now that you know what my general mindset is, I'm sure you can watch them again and easily see what I'm using as a reference (related to thesr ABC points) for each one. And if some of them are particularly unclear, leave a response and I'll specifically explain those!!
ive done this heist so many times to get to infamy 25 since it gives 2 mil exp. also at 25:29 even if the pager goes off dont answer it and you will still be in stealth
Very nice! I had no idea you enjoyed this heist :p I never pick it for our public lobbies, because it's very easy to mess up when playing with a full lobby. Also, the fact that the objectives are very linear doesn't work too well for a full lobby... we can probably play it one of these days though, if you enjoy it so much! :p
Hey Iosi! I agree 100%: very fun stealth, and more loot would be cool. Some variety in loot type (not all money) and path to secure (not the exact same path for all 18 bags) would make that part a bit more entertaining, although luckily it's not too boring in its current state :D
I just got to the part where you place the cutters and got in the forklift to move it in the last spot and apparently the money bricks were blocking me in the forklift so softlocked myself
Hey TacticalGlueEater! That happens sometimes yes, it's an issue with the game. Drive the forklift back and forth over and over until the money bricks fall off, and then you will be able to exit the forklift!!
Damn you make this shit look easy. I've always tried for the achievement in the art museum (paintings idk) wearing the heaviest armor and doing the run stealth. I wanted it for a certain attachment but I can't remember
Thank you Runic Blood! I appreciate that :) Hope you enjoyed the video and the tips! That's a cool achievement yeah, _The Turtle Always Wins,_ for completing Art Gallery within 4 minutes wearing the heaviest armor (ICTV). I definitely recommend ECM rushing it, with at least 2 players to be safe! It can probably be done solo too, if you don't mind stealthily securing the first few paintings, then rushing for the final ones.
I am sure you already got it, but you can 'cheat' it if you want. It doesn't check for SECONDARY deployments. Meaning you can go in with a suit, and just equip the armor at the end.
Wait, Hold On:It's a mod that marks the timer of an pECM abd ECMs, equipment cooldown, stamina and other things like taking bags cooldown? I need that! Question:How You Get Continental Points, What's Your Supressor And What's Your Shotgun's Name?

Feedback:Very Informative-Well Explained-Nothing To Say Here, Just The Most Awesome TH-cam Channel And My Favorite One For Sure:)
Hey juan! The mod is a combination of _PocoHUD3_ and _Additional PocoHud trackers._ You can find a list of download links, install instructions, and my settings on my Steam post here: steamcommunity.com/groups/MarcmbCrimeNET/discussions/0/2279330983559406525 As for Continental Coins, I personally get mine from farming XP: every 1M XP will reward you 1 coin. If you want faster coins, you can do Side Jobs, Safehouse Raid, or Crime Spree. My supressor (and other mods) for the Locomotive 12G can be found updated in this video description here: th-cam.com/video/s0lSjtcZXO8/w-d-xo.html Finally, glad you enjoyed this guide, thank you very much! And thank you as well for the very nice comment, much appreciated :D
@@Marcmb Nothing stops you:) From the first video of you i ever seen it was perfect, i don't remember it but it was one of your ultimate stealth guides.
This is a very informative video, I didnt know you could use those vent to transports the money bag! One thing I always wonder is that, how are you able to open those locked doors really fast? Is it from skills or perk deck or something else?
Hey Sisiyoru! Glad you liked the video and learnt a few things, much appreciated! The picklocking speed is increased by two different factors: (1) Equip the "Quick" crew boost for your bots. This reduces your interaction time by 25% per bot, so -75% interaction time with 3 bots, reducing the picklock time from 20s to 5s. (2) One of the Ghost skills also increases your picklocking speed by 100%, reducing that time from 5s to 2.5s :)
@@itspedro8 Haha thank you! I'm very happy where I am right now, but we will get there slowly but surely (even if it takes hundreds of years)! Glad that you're enjoying the content! :p
Hey Brewer! Thank you for that :p hope you enjoy the video, and if you like the heist, I think it's included in the "Ultimate edition"! Or feel free to join the Steam group and join my lobbies, I'll probably play this heist every now and then :p
@@CJ10_SC Yeah that's why I was so confused! I Googled for information about the console versions, and apparently the "Crimewave Edition" (which I think is the base game for console) includes the Alesso Heist, so I was happy to upload a video about a heist that console heisters can also play! So I was just a bit confused when you mentioned not having this heist !
Thank you Blue Zenith! Glad that you liked this video, much appreciated! I'll do my best to keep it up, hopefully the upcoming content won't disappoint! :p
hey man, thanks for the guide! finally did alesso in stealth, but can you by any chance post a firestarter all days stealth guide? i always try to stealth day 1 and fail and any tips will help. thanks!
Hey Yce! The Firestarter day 1 stealth guide has been requested a few times, but there are also other "actual stealth" heists that are requested often too, and I prefer starting with those because I feel like they will help more players, especially those getting used to stealth mechanics, and safe stealth approaches in general. I'll definitely have a Firestarter day 1 guide in the future though, stay tuned for that!!
One of my favorite heists. Was managed to do it without c4, but I think it's time to reconsider using c4, thanks. Maybe do a video about solo alesso achiev with no kills, if it's possible? I think it's more of a challenge thank regular alesso)
Hey Dmitrii! Glad to hear that :) It's also a heist that I enjoy solo stealthing, personally. There have been some requests about doing it in a Pacifist way (just for fun, or for the Sound of Silence achievement), so I'll definitely make a video about that in the future! Definitely slightly more challenging :)
Nice guide, this heist will now be less cancer x) But this time, unlike White House, delayed pager disappear too. Meh... I guess it just a different system at work for this heist x)
Hey Killian! I didn't usually use this trick to get "free pagers", because as you can see from my strategy, I generally only use 3 pagers in this heist... however, since this heist has an "un-masking" step very similar to The White House, I tested it out only because you brought it up on that video two weeks ago. And indeed, it worked very well! So I added it to the video :p It does have to be different somehow however, because as you point out, for this heist it works even if the guard is dead and with a pager delayed -- he will despawn regardless. And in the opposite case, if they are alerted but not dead, they do not despawn. So it's very different for some reason! Glad that you liked the guide, and hopefully you will have fun playing this heist every now and then! :)
This will surely help me, as I was not planning on doing this loud for DSOD. For the pyrotechnics, is the extra buttons and fire extinguisher a loud only thing?
Glad to hear this will help, Blucario! Fire extinguisher is indeed loud only (buttons are always Bain calling 2 buttons, three times, for each of the 3 vault explosions). If you mess up the buttons a couple times there's extra guards, but it should be impossible to mess up!
Hey G00D Pl4yer! It definitely depends on where they spawn. If they spawn on the boat side: kill them before C4, otherwise they will shoot you when you're moving around, and end the stealth phase. If they spawn on the other side, kill them right before escaping, because it's less risky. I have a short 3-minute video explaining the reasoning and how to do it when needed, if you wanna check it out: th-cam.com/video/DSzWzpep8nM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you KaZa Nova, glad you liked the guide! As for my mods, I have: - my HUD, which is a combination of _PocoHUD3_ and _Additional PocoHud trackers._ Links here: steamcommunity.com/groups/MarcmbCrimeNET/discussions/0/2279330983559406525/ - other QoL mods such as _Preplanning Saver,_ _Force Ready..._ although you can't really see those in the video.
Hey again Ghostsoldat! Glad you liked the video :) Trip mines make this heist very very easy, but if you like body bags and ECMs, nothing wrong with that! :D
Idk why people talk bad about this heist, imo I think it's a good stealth(not GGC or The Big Bank level) with cool music behind it. And not gonna lie I kinda wanna hear music when I play stealth
Hey Deadly Bird! I agree with you, personally. I like the gameplay that this heist offers (especially when playing solo), and the vault design is SO COOL! Overall a very decent heist, for sure :D
@@deadlybird1229 Indeed, 100% agree! Heists that can be stealthed with literally zero effort (Ukrainian Job, Bank Heist, Diamond Store...) are generally quite boring, and often just a waiting simulator! They're still nice for _new_ players, so it's good to have them in the game, but at some point you stop playing them completely :p
Hey, just new to the game, only been playing it for about a week now. I was wondering what the yellow indicators above guards heads and in the top left corner that signify timers for different abilities and stuff. Is it a mod? If so which one? Also what perks do you run to have that much speed with interactions and running, or is that also a mod? Thanks :) Edit: Sorry I just noticed you answered a few of these questions already, but I'm just checking. Thanks again :)
Hey Aircraft Overviewer! Sometimes it's easier to ask than to look through a bunch of other questions, so no worries! As for your questions: *- yellow indicators:* those are "HP bars" or "HP values" for the guards. Their max HP is 40, that's why it shows up as 40/40 when they are at full health. *- timers for abilities and more interesting stuff:* that's my HUD mod, _PocoHUD3_ combined with _Additional PocoHUD trackers._ If you're interested in installing them, I have a post giving detailed instructions for that: steamcommunity.com/groups/MarcmbCrimeNET/discussions/0/2279330983559406525 *- fast interaction speed:* here's my build th-cam.com/video/s0lSjtcZXO8/w-d-xo.html (skills like _Nimble_ for example interact picklocking speed, while skills like _Parkour_ increase movement speed), and the faster interaction with everything else which isn't lockpicking comes from my Crew AI Boosts -- there's one called "Quick" which reduces interaction time by 75% while playing solo. Access this menu from your inventory, and look for "Crew loadout"!
@@aircraftoverviewer You're welcome! Happy to help :) The guides are being watched by different heisters at completely different times, so I always keep an eye on the comments, to answer any questions which may pop up!
Hey Top Tier Gaming! The HUD is PocoHUD3. Thanks for reminding me actually: I have just added to the description a modding video where you can find all my mods with download links and install instructions!
Me and my friend had to restart like 10 times because we would get terrible security room rng so when we went to play c4 there would be like 3 cams on use lmao
Some double camera combinations can be extremely unlucky yup! It has never been much of an issue for me because I always use the Hacker perk deck, but with just camera loop it can sometimes be very painful...
Hey Projectnsight! I believe this one is intimidating to many heisters simply because of the size of the map, combined with the fact that the objectives have you going up and down a few times. But with a bit of knowledge, and some good planning, the heist because very very easy! :D Also, I'll be doing a similar video for GO Bank in the future, so hopefully you'll enjoy that one! :p
I've got one for you, don't place trip mines in doors as when you mask up some doors shut and can blow up the trip mine... I'm not sure which doors but it just ruined my no kill run sigh.
Very very true... since there's a bunch of doors that must be open / closed right after you unmask, for the civilian escape phase, placing mines on any of those doors will result in an explosion when you unmask. Definitely avoid placing mines on such surfaces!!!
Hey PlatonicGaming! My HUD is a combination of _PocoHUD3,_ and _Additional PocoHud trackers._ Very clean UI, with plenty of features which you can toggle. If you want to try them out for yourself, I have a Steam post with download links, and install instructions (as well as my specific mod settings), which you can find here! steamcommunity.com/groups/MarcmbCrimeNET/discussions/0/2279330983559406525/
Haha, glad the guide helped Zoax! Completely understandable though, this heist is not everyone's cup of tea. I personally really enjoy it, but I would never play it without trip mines!

Thank you Doc! It's always funny when that happens in public lobbies :p
I'm surprised you watched the whole thing in 360p! It's taking forever to process HD for some reason, even though it's only 30% longer than my latest videos :(

@@DerpyBattleMaid Indeed, It's so easy to do!

I can see why people hate this heist but with thorough planning it can be completed with ease, I personally don’t mind this, and I play it for Alesso’s music when blowing the C4
Hey Valix_Assassin! The heist does indeed become much easier with some good preplanning: especially bringing those trip mines, that make the trips up and down absurdly easy.

Personally, I find Jewelry Store/Ukranian to be my least favorite simply because of how boring it is. This one is more tedious, but actually has risk involved with it. I was able to, surprisingly, pass it on my first ever attempt. Haven't been able to stealth it since, in 10+ tries XD
Hey Blonde! I can see why some people dislike it, because it's very linear (not many options to complete it because the objectives can only be done in one specific order), and with poor planning it can get very repetitive after a few restarts. However, with a strategy that works easily 100% of the time, it's quite a fun heist! :p
@@kinsan89 I agree with this! Easier heists are so boring... I would probably fall asleep if I played Diamond Store right now...
This heist is one of the few reasons why I have a carry stacker mod, boring bag moving once you secure the area with no challenge, just a deterrent against playing solo. It's a shame some of the best solo heists have that very stage so drawn out
i played on switch(feels bad, when i get a pc imma play online) and kinda had to play solo, thus if i wanted to have fun, i had to do the easier ones first in order to be able to do anything on the actual good ones, thus i've found stealth(ai for friends sucks) and the jewelry store/diamond store.(and if i had known about it, the stealth copy-right printing mission)
These missions were easy and rewarded a fairly good amount of money/exp for a solo person
The longer missions were tedious in stealth as if i messed up anywherr i had to completely reset thus longer heists were a no go(especially with the trash joysticks of the switch)
I appreciate these videos, They're very detailed and thorough, and even when i think i know everything about a particular stealth heist you always seem to have some new information that i just havent come across in my playtime. Great video. :)
Thank you very much, Wolfcub! Sometimes, when a certain topic in the video gets too long, I worry that people will find it too overwhelming or repetitive, so it's good to hear that you enjoy all the details -- I appreciate that a lot! :)
Ah Marc, your stealth guides are always on point. For me this is one of the hardest (also one of the most boring) stealth heists in the game. Will use this video if I'll ever want to torture myself lol.
Thank you Shok, I appreciate that a lot! The heist gets repetitive quickly after a few restarts (heist is very linear, with only one possible order to do the objectives), but with a strategy that works 100% of the time easily, it becomes quite a fun heist :)
I tried this almost 30 times two days ago but going to give it another go now
Good luck with that Ascoolas! With this strategy, you should be able to get some very nice results!! If you run into anything unexpected that I didn't cover in this long guide, feel free to come back here and ask! :)
Same here
Just powering through career, and your stuff is really helpful. I really liked this heist! One big reason being the music design. You get a taste immediately, and as you get further down, the music goes quieter. But then there's a big buildup when you climb back up to the pyrotechnics room past allll of those guards, and you get a nice climactic moment. Then as you go back to work, it calms back down, while you get to enjoy an expertly prepared peace.
Happy to hear that my tips are helping you through the career mode, Zakru! I also really love that about this heist. They were very smart and programmed the background music as an SFX, allowing them to modify its volume depending on your distance to the concert (rather than standard BGM, which would have constant volume), which works really well and makes you feel more involved in the situation. Really amazing stuff!
I only just realized once he got to the pyro booth, this legend found a way to not have the Alesso music constantly in the background.
Hey Yama, that's right! I really wanted to make a Viklund concert just to have some fun with the editing :p So I downloaded a mod called "Disable Alesso Heist Music" which made it very straightforward to add Viklund's song over that part of the footage :)
Of the 8 times I beat this on DS/OD, I never thought of going from top to bottom, the amount of resets I had to do cause of being caught sneaking back down after going up. Thanks for that tip man!
Thanks Aidan! That's something that I do every run, so I'm glad it can be useful to other players as well! Happy to hear it has helped you, thank you :D
Same here bro. Just making things harder where I don’t need to
This is probably one of my most disliked heists to play loud so I go stealth everytime and here I thought I know everything i need to know. Good video man, keep up the great work. I only recently subcribed but I love your content
Hey Rabinowitz! I also play this heist only in stealth, although it's a bit different for me -- because in general I play stealth only :p
Thank you for subscribing, and I'm glad that you enjoyed this video and the content in general -- I appreciate that a lot! :)
Stealthed this for the first time, I forgot to bring mines but still did it because of you I knew where guards could be so (thanks to you!) I didn’t get spotted around corners. Probably one of my most favorite heists now. Thanks!
That's good to hear, FaDon! Impressive that you managed to do it without trip mines, since they help a lot! But indeed, with some luck, and good timing, it's definitely possible without the trip mines.
Glad the information about the guards helped you, and good to know you were able to enjoy the heist! I really like this one for solo stealth too :)
I did it with mines and without, I use mines when I need quick exp, and no mines when I want a fun, challenging time. Alesso is one of those stealth maps that is in tight corridors, but still takes a challenge while not having to wait for guards to move much and also with straight objectives. A really fun one to solo indeed!
@@thej6472 Very nice! That's definitely a good way to go about that -- mines when you want a reliable run, and no mines when you want more difficulty. Very good! :D
An amazing guide as always!
This heist, though, is incredibly infuriating for me, both Loud and Stealth.
Stealth has to deal with an army of guards, Loud has to deal with an actual army stealing loot while you're still trying to move it (I like to constantly move my loot into piles but they get taken when I try to move the next bag to the pile).
Although this map is quite possibly the most beautiful and atmospheric one in the game, never once in either version did I think "Meh just another average stealth-optional heist".
Edit: I only just realized it with this video, bit I love the little pitter-patter of feet when you speed up sprinting xD
Hey Alex! Glad you liked the guide, thank you! :)
I've never played it loud (I'm a stealth-only player!) but I can definitely see how something like that would happen, when moving 18 money bags.
I agree that the heist itself is beautiful -- I especially liked the vault design, as soon as I saw it (looks very cool and clean), and the plan to steal from it is also very original :)
And yeah, surprisingly, the ingame sounds for PAYDAY 2, when sped up at x4 or x3 rate, sound surprisingly nice!!
Really great, well detailed and informative guide, it actually helped me finally complete this heist in full stealth after countless fails, so huge thanks to you, man! After watching it, it still took about 10-15 tries to optimize my strategies and all that, but the guide definitely improved my overall approach. However, on one of those runs I had myself sabotaged by the game itself; I finally reached the sawing process, never have I ever got that far. I was in complete euphoria, as I carefully managed the forklifting and safe-sawing. I even got the Capital Hill Candy spawn, which was especially great, since I previously killed that guard, and I had no more pagers left (I killed the two at the basement, and one usptairs as well). I'm not kidding you, I was moving the forklift to the last location, and as I tried to get out; I couldn't, because one of those goddamn money piles somehow blocked it. I tried to move as fast as possible, but the camera still spotted me, and as I tried to escape (I drove into a wall and that somehow fixed it lol), a freaking skulldozer ended all my hopes and dreams. I exited the game and didn't touch it for a day, only for me to complete the heist first try when I next opened it up. So yeah, always look on the bright side of life. And thanks again for the guide!
You're absolutely welcome Baci! Happy to hear the guide helped :D
As for the forklift block thing, it has happened to me once, and it's the worst situation ever... the game literally says the exit is blocked just because there's a money on top of you, which can often last for quite a while and end in disaster. It took nearly a minute for me to free myself (driving back and forth to push the money off), although luckily for me it happened away from the cameras. If it had been in front of a cam, my run would've died just like yours, ouch...
This is great timing for me, as my friend and I tried to stealth this several times the other day and kept messing up before we could place the C4. Thanks to this, we should do much better when we try again.
Hey Badger! It's always great to post a video with perfect timing :) Hopefully you and your friend can enjoy the heist with this strategy! The heist is very linear (you can't do objectives ahead of time) so the overall heist will look very similar to mine.
For this reason, one strategy that works REALLY WELL for duo is to have one player masked up, and another player following him in casing mode, marking the civilian (via Sixth Sense) and the guard in each area. This gives a lot of information combined with the trip mines, so with this approach, it's impossible to fail! And you can take turns alternating who is masked up and who is in casing mode, so it's a lot of fun to play in my opinion :)
I’m really enjoying these edits and how organized everything is keep up the good work!
Thank you Giovanni! Very kind and very nice feedback, much appreciated! I'll do my best to keep it up, and I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the content! :)
My friend and I have been stressing with this heist for over 2 days lol. I finally found your guide about this heist.
Hey Ghostly! Glad that my guide can be helpful. Good luck with your future duo attempts! :D
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask :)
@@Marcmb we failed mostly because he just infamied and didnt have any good skills for stealth. The funniest fail we had was when he put on his mask in the crowd after unmasking at the end lol.
@@ghostly9548 I see! Doing it with very little skills (especially no trip mines, no cam loop...) is gonna be much more challenging here, indeed :)
That's one way to fail the heist haha! Never seen anyone masking on purpose, as that will trigger the van to leave instantly :p
Ahh Alesso Heist,conceptually one of the cooler heists but it takes so goddam long to do in both loud and stealth and it's not as fun as Golden Grin,this was very helpful tho,been playing for so many years and yet I had no clue about the TV interaction in the basement very niceee
The trip mines placements will also come in very handy,I always bring them with me in this one just like for the Diamond but simply place em where it feels right lol
Honestly this heist wouldn't be such a chore if it wasn't for the basement cameras,and man if only they added spycams..
Hey Alex!
First of all, very sorry for my very late response. I've been busy the last 3 days editing today's video (which ended up being 30 minutes long, so it took much longer than expected) and so I have been unable to read/answer comments to focus on that.
Whenever I think about rating this heist, I also always compare it to GGC. For crew play specially, they are like polar opposites: one is completely linear, forcing the objectives to be done in a very specific order, and while everyone else waits when not involved in the current step. The other gives you complete freedom to simultaneously complete all objectives in any order, which is much better. Luckily, for solo play the linearity doesn't matter, so I can enjoy it as a nice solo heist :)
And for sure, trip mines are very powerful here! And spycams in THE Diamond are easily the best asset there :)
This is just such a good video it’s so useful I haven’t seen anything like it for payday they’re never this in depth
Thank you very much Tejay! At some points I was worried I may be going too in-depth, so I'm glad that this level of detail is appreciated! Good to have that kind of feedback :)
Marcmb I think it’s cool to see someone just absolutely master something and know everything about it so I find it quite fun to watch even if I’m not watching it for the actual guide
@@tejayplant7069 I see, that makes sense! Glad that you're enjoying this kind of content, I apperciate it a lot! :) I see what you mean because I also enjoy for example watching other PAYDAY 2 streamers when I have time, even though I've done those heists countless times :p
Again an extremely thorough video! I only have three small things to add.
1. When getting the c4, you can actually get c4 through the wall in either configuration, it's just when the room is straight the hitbox is slightly weirder (can save 1-2secs)
2. When coming back down from the pyrotechnics booth, it's much faster if you jump down to the top of the booth in the lobby and onto the stairs to the kitchen (the area around 13:37)
3. When escaping the heist, it's actually faster and safer to alert a guard/camera and have the heist go loud, go up to area again at 13:37 and escape there. Saves a lot of time.
Other than that, great video, has all the other tricks that I know and use-- : )
Hey Mot! Very nice speedrunning tips as usual :) I'll definitely keep them in mind if I go for a speedrun!
(1) I guess if I play around with the "seed" value that you mentioned last time (the one that also determines where the guards will be), I can get the good RNG not only for the closets that have the red X, but also for the pile of boxes inside that contains the actual C4? To save a lot of time I mean.
(2) That sounds very interesting! I knew about (3) from old speedruns, but I've never seen such a fast shortcut! Does that mean that you jump from the balcony, straight down to the booth in the lobby? Like the red booth that you can see at 0:18 in the video (left side of the screen)?
(3) Definitely a big time save, indeed :p I remember this one from old speedruns, where they complete the heist even before Bile gets there because the escape pad appears so quickly.
I didn't cover many speedrunning aspects on this one (it's a long heist so I definitely tried to teach safety rather than speed :p) but it sounds very promising for some kind of speedrun video!
@@Marcmb Yeah number 2 is exactly as you say, just make sure you don't fall on the ground and go down lmao. Number 1 is also as you say. Silent saw is probably perfect for this map as well. The speedrun of this map is less than 10 minutes which is totally ridiculous lol~
@@Mot-dh5sx I see! Thanks for the confirmation, and for always giving me insight and clarifications regarding the RNG Modifier mod!
I'm gonna have a lot of free time during August, so I may be trying some speedrunning for fun! :p
Marcmb I’ll look forward to seeing what you have in store : ) the most satisfying feeling in a speedrun is when you use your ecms to block a pager, do an objective, and come back perfectly on time~
@@Mot-dh5sx For sure! I've seen that happening in some speedruns, and it's so satisfying :p
I have some ideas for a few speedruns, so hopefully they don't disappoint! :D
I’ve failed at this heist at least 50 times and now I can finally do it
Hey Braden! Get ready to never fail this heist again, because with this strategy, your success rate is gonna skyrocket! :p
In my opinion, the consistent trip mine marks make the strategy very reliable, and the heist easier. Going up and down is no longer a problem, because of how safe it is!
My friend and I just bought the game and this was one of our first heists. It took us a few days but we finally managed to do the heist stealth. I decided to search up other runs and watching this guide has made me realize how helpful trip mines are and that there are preplanning assets we could have bought lol. Great guide overall but it is possible to get rid of the security room guard to disable cameras, even in the entrance lobby. Its very risky due to the two civs standing near by but you can get rid of their detection by crouching right next to the table they are at. After, as long as the guards are not walking down or facing the door it becomes possible to lock pick and kill the guard. There is one civ that does detect the body if it falls into the center of the security room, but you can get the body to fall alongside the table. Then bag it and shove it in the corner of the room and sprint out. Its honestly not worth it though since you have to make your way all the way back to the top to pick up the c4.
Very nice Plants! Congrats to you and your friend for your first stealth completion, and I'm glad that my guide was able to teach you a few useful tricks for future runs :)
There are indeed some tricks to be able to get rid of cams (even in that spawn), but as you say it's a lot of trouble, so most people get used to just dealing with the cameras and keeping that pager for emergencies, since the cams aren't too bad on this heist!
Wow, ok. I tried this twice without any info, and it... didn't go well. Your guide is brilliant as always. Thanx a lot! I did have one big problem on my run, though... Down in the basement I had to move the forklift to a position that was covered by two cameras, so that was... interesting, as I couldn't just temporarily disable one. I ended up PECM'ing it, so I could put it into position.
Hey there Stefan once again! I feel like tonight I've been replying to comments for quite a while, since I had comments from a few days ago :p
This one is indeed quite tricky to approach without a guide: lots of moving pieces, and a complex heist layout at first glance. Glad my tips helped! And yes indeed, sometimes the two cameras spawn in such a way that you'll have to either PCM or ECM to move the forklift safely. Sadly I couldn't get a clip of that back when I recorded this video!
You are the G.O.A.T. You put so much time to explain everything and try to help. Keep doing what you are doing man you are a beast.
Haha thank you so much Sefik, very kind of you!
I'm glad that you're enjoying the content, and hopefully learning useful things from it :) I'll do my best to keep it up!
Did this on my first try thanks to your tutorial. didnt complete it though, wasnt concentrating and ran straight into a guard during the exit haha
Aww that's a shame to fail at that point! But I'm glad you got that far easily, and good to hear the guide helped! You'll get it next time for sure :D
A safer shortcut on the way back to the basement from the booth is the balcony overseeing the stairwell with the pillars. You can simply spot the guard who patrols that area, verify he is walking towards the top or is at the bottom of the stairwell, then jump down and get behind cover.
Hey M3L0! I guess you mean the balcony that is to my right at 4:48 in the video? In the past I used that shortcut a lot too! But since I started using this trip mine placement, I always have the guard in the upper part of the stairwell marked, so for me it's now easier to go the long way around: this way I just have to check whether the second guard (the one at the lower floor) is in front of me or not, rather than having to check both left and right and then taking a very small risk as I jump down!
@@Marcmb In most cases it would be more efficient to take the path you were, especially with the tripmine placement. It really just comes down the location of the guards and whether it would be faster/safer to take the shortcut or sprint through.
But you knew that already.
@@M3L0619 Based on your response it looks like you were indeed talking about that balcony at 4:48 :p I wanted to confirm, because I thought maybe you were talking about a different shortcut.
As I mentioned, I used to be a fan of this shortcut, but the blind spot on the right due to the tight corner is so bad, that I always felt awful when the guard was turning the corner just as I jumped down... it can be faster for sure though, and it would definitely be worth considering for regular runs, with just one or two trip mines to get some vision on that guard!
Thank you for this guide, it helped a lot. I got to the very end of the heist but accidentally got money stuck in the forklift which blocked me from getting out of the vehicle until the camera loop ended, then I failed.
Glad the guide helped, Heathinator! The money stuck situation is quite rare yup, but very punishing... At the time of recording this guide, I had never experienced it! It basically happens when a money bundle drops right in front of you, so you need to move the forklift back and forth until you can push it off.
This is great timing for you to do this video! I was just planning on working out an easier way to do this heist, this will definitely help!
Good to hear that Tele! Have fun with the tips, and I definitely recommend the same trip mine placements or slight variations! Especially the mines that keep guards marked when they are stopped, those are very useful to keep guards permanently marked :)
@@Marcmb Will do! Rewatching the placements a few times to get a general memory of where they should go right now. Gonna try and do it pacifist for a while, cause the mask for that achievement looks sick-
@@DerpyBattleMaid Ah, pacifist is a fun challenge to do! It will be harder, but strategy-wise it's very similar to my run, except that you can't kill the civs like I did, but I guess you could tie them...
Also, I don't remember right now, but I think you can dominate the guards to get rid of them without killing them, and that should still count to get the achievement I think!
Good luck learning the trip mine locations, after a few runs it just becomes kinda like muscle memory :)
@@Marcmb Yeah, my idea was dominating the guards because it doesn't count as a kill, I remember it was the strategy used to deal with the guards in the all achievements Tijuana ECM Rush
@@DerpyBattleMaid That definitely seems to be the way to go! Technically not a kill, so it will count for this heist just like it did for Tijuana :)
Alternatively...
If it doesn't seem to be doable, and you want the mask quickly, rather than doing the achievement for fun... (click read more for spoilers)
You can buy the heist in normal difficulty, and do it loud while ignoring the weak cops... easy way to get the Pacifist achievement! But trying it repeatedly until you succeed in an actual stealth pacifist is more satisfying :)
The camera operator on the forklift part must think he's seeing an SCP or something each time the loop wears off.
Haha absolutely! Very spooky forklift for some reason...
Thank you so much for this guide! I just completed this on DSOD for the first time thanks to your guide.
Heyy you're absolutely welcome Logan! Glad the guide helped, and congrats on your DSOD completion :)
As usual youtube notifications told me about this video after 4 hours XD
I must say right away that this is my favorite heist, because Alesso.
But the video is still great.
Keep up the good work!
Hey there Greefoon! We'll never understand how TH-cam notifications work exactly :p but you're still here quite early! :)
I'm glad that you liked the video, thank you! And I'll to my best to keep it up :)
Great tip with the TV. I didn't know that was a thing.
Thank you James! That's indeed a very useful tool, makes the guard killing very safe and reliable because there's never a camera pointing right at the TV.
The guards take quite a while to notice the TV and go there though, so like I mentioned in the video I definitely recommend doing it before going to check the last C4 area :)
One small detail that I believe deserves a note. Sometimes you get two cams in the vault area if RNG doesn't like you, and looping them at the same time while moving the forklift isn't really the best option (although with a competent pair you might be able to abuse the few seconds where the game lets you loop a new cam as the old one is about to exit loop). Fortunately pocket ECMs are an excellent solution to this, since you can just activate them, then enter the forklift and move it under ECM. If it wasn't for those I'd bring Burglar for faster lockpick speed because some C4 spawns are just terrible. Such a problem usually shows itself in 4P pubs.
Hey ForAllEpsilon! That's a good point, actually. There can indeed be 2 cameras in the vault area (quite often), and using pocket ECMs if you're ever in a troublesome situation is quite a straightforward solution.
However, from my experience, whenever there's 2 cameras, they are set up with very large blind spots so that, if you move properly (behind the columns and boxes) the forklift is only in the field of view of one camera at a time. For example, at the example I show at 9:51, there's 2 cameras in the vault area, but only 1 is spotting the forklift at any given time. The second camera can be seen at 9:55 (right behind the forklift) but it's placed in such a way that you can move across half the basement while being spotted by only one camera, and whenever the other camera sees you, there are blind spots for the previous one.
However, as you say, there may be combinations that don't have this kind of "blind" spots -- but if they do exist, I've never noticed them because, as you suggest, I play this one with Hacker always, so I wouldn't have noticed. If I ever make an appendix for this guide, I'll check that aspect more thoroughly, and add a few clips. Thank you for the feedback! :)
Imagine making guides to payday 2 in 2020
Thats why i like you
Thank you Harper! I appreciate that a lot! Glad you're enjoying the content :)
on my final attempt (it was like a 4th or 3rd 0_0 ) i forgot to put the trip mines in the propper places, when it got to the basement part, ive killed the guards (lucky lucky), and just looped one of the cameras (the 2nd one was in the corridor near the basement) and started moving the bags. but by the time i had to throw them in the vent, i didnt have any body bags or pagers! so i put all of the trip mines i had all around the red squares! i was so lucky not to get caught there!
Huge thanks to this video, i had a somewhat good understanding of where and how to move. Thank you Marcmb
Glad the trip mine tips and the general tips helped, rosee! This is quite a big heist, so completing it in just 3 attempts without fully placing all the trip mines is a great achievement! Good backup plan, and glad the knowledge from the guide was able to help :)
@@Marcmb thanks a lot
Just spent 30 minutes on my first try, everything went perfectly, secured all loot just to fail it at the end because i ran into a guard... Bruh. Ty for the tutorial tho big fan here! Still watching and learning in 2022
Ouch! Failing at the very end is always a shame, but if you got there once, reaching that same spot will be easier the next time!!! Glad the guide is still being useful years later, and best of luck in your next attempts Drip Monkey :D
Thx so much for making this I have been suck on this for like a 3 day in DS
You're welcome meaty martin! As you can see from the video, the tricky parts of the heist become much easier when following this strategy, so hopefully you will have fun trying it out! Good luck in your attempts! :)
Yo wtf how is this guy only pulling in 3.6k views, this stuff is so useful and should be getting so many more views
Hey Gary! I'm glad that you think so, I appreciate that a lot!
I have to say though, that I'm fine being where I am! The channel has been growing a lot, the community is very positive, and I get a lot of support in all my videos, so I'm having a great time! :)
Marcmb well I’m glad that I got your video in my recommended, you’re one the the people that still makes this game fun, thank you so much
@@MarsInfernum Awesome! Glad that the recommended brought you here, and that these videos are making the game more enjoyable for you :)
Thanks for watching, and I hope you'll enjoy the upcoming content too! :D
That was a really well done intro, you just keep improving, great work as always!
Thank you Sam, glad you liked that! There were a few "general ideas" I wanted to present before starting with the gameplay, so I felt like this video needed a slightly longer introduction to not feel rushed.
Happy to hear that the end result is nice, thanks a lot!! :)
I've done this heist on death sentence twice now (never solo though) and I figured out the C4 spawns and stuff like that by myself. This video was a lot more helpful though. Thanks marcmb!
Hey TP N0VA! I'm happy to hear that even though you had already completed the heist twice, the video was still useful. Good to know that my suggestions, or general information, were helpful, thank you! :)
@@Marcmb I have to say that's it's easier solo because of desync (on console :/) but I still lag quite a lot if I am the host, like how I just failed the heist because I got instantly detected by a civilian.
@@tpn0va941 I agree 100% that it's easier solo! Not only because of desync, but it's also easier to mess up with more people moving around...
Instant detection by civs sucks when it happens, that's why I bring pocket ECMs (good for emergencies) and I get rid of most civs that can often cause problems...
I'm loving all the little details like the current song's name being played.
You're progressing a lot in your editing, and we're noticing it.
I do wonder how do you record in free cam though, like the part where you're showing the map near the start. I don't recall the game has that feature where you can roam freely like that.
Game doesn't, but mods can fix that ;)
The one i use personally is named "Free flight camera"
@@AnanasIsAtYourDoorstep gotcha. Thanks for the info!
Thank you Nathan! I like trying new small things when a video gives me the chance to do so, so I'm glad the new details I'm including are good! :)
As for the free cam recording, as Enio replied (very quickly btw, I was sleeping back then :p) it's a mod that introduces free cam. I generally used it only for the thumbnails, but this time I used it for the "guard distribution" part because I wanted to make it very visual, explaining the number of guards in each section while clearly showing how they are connected!
@@AnanasIsAtYourDoorstep This is correct! I also use FreeFlightCamera. Thanks for the quick answer Enio! :)
I remember the first time I tried to do this in stealth with a friend, and we failed, many, many times. It was hell, and we just gave up to frustration after a couple hours of trying. Now I can complete it consistently with ease. I always though I had to kill the camera guard because of the downstairs area, I thought the cameras would notice the C4 going off and instantly fail lol. Or the money bundles falling, and I didn't want to worry about always having the cameras on loop. So that's always the first thing I did in this heist. It's complicated if the camera room spawns in the lobby area, but not impossible and requires a lot of patience. Then I always kill the 2 guard downstairs, and the guard that is in whatever kitchen that we need to deliver the loot. The hard part is just moving upstairs and downstairs without getting caught. Your trip mine tips will make this heist even easier for me though, I learned this heist through trial and failure before I learned how useful trip mines are for stealth.
nice explanation, didnt know about the TV. but man i prefer the original song in the put up a show box. only thing i miss is the refernce to the parking ticket, gj man, solid.
Thank you Ralvsen, glad you liked it!
All opinions are good opinions, and the original song in the heist is decent too! I really like how it sounds louder the closer you are to the concert -- being very quite if you're down in the basement. However, I'm a big fan of Viklund's music so I wanted to record the video with "I Will Give You My All" instead, which is a really cool song :p
And unfortunately the parking ticket achievement can only be done in loud, but I could have mentioned or shown the spot for that yeah!
Fookin' thanks Marc, those guides are really helping me. Keep up the good work!
You're welcome, TdIaA! Happy to hear the guides are helping, thank you! :)
I'll definitely do my best to keep it up, and eventually have one guide for every single heist :D
I really love this map, and as loud, and as stealth. For me it's very easy heist, but I thank u for trip mines positions (especially in green room with possible locations of c4 on second floor). Great job m8 :3
Edit: I'm too lazy to look for these positions myself, so thank you again
You're welcome! I also enjoy this heist quite a lot, but I only play it in stealth :p
After many tests, these are the trip mine positions that have worked the best for me (they seem to be the most reliable to keep everyone marked as often as possible), so I'm glad that you enjoyed that piece of information!
Thank you for watching, and I hope you liked the content! :)
@@Marcmb ofc i liked the content :3
I hate GGC with all my heart. But after ur GGC stealth guide i feel myself dumb xD
I hate GGC more than Goat Sim, and when u uploaded video guide, i was really happy, cuz it will help me to complete this heist on a second account without any huge problems...
@@The-Strongest-Fairy Awesome! I'm very happy to hear that :) I had a lot of fun recording the GGC video, so I'm glad that the tips were helpful! My personal favorites are: remembering the 6 lockers that may contain the briefcase, and also being able to recognize which of the 2 civilians has the keycard, as soon as you enter the casino :)
he just added the best song in the whole franchise for the concert, what a legend
Haha glad you liked that Seres! I agree that this is pretty much the best song in the entire PAYDAY franchise. _I Will Give You My All_ is a song you can listen at almost any time, although other ones like _Drifting_ or _This Is Our Time_ are great too :D
You have made one of the trickiest heists just easier, thanks
Thank you Warum, I'm glad that this guide will be helpful to you! As you can see from the video, having so many guards marked so consistently makes this heist MUCH easier!
Good luck with your attempts, and hope you enjoy the strategy! :)
How long took it for you to type the description? That's the longest I've ever seen under a video. Wow that was a fast reply
@Warum nicht Haha, this one actually took quite a while to type! I like having a list of all my previous videos at the end of the video description, but it was getting quite long so I reorganized it by adding different categories. Then there were so many timestamps that I reached the limit of 5,000 characters, and I had to rethink it all a little bit!
But I like having a nice description, so it was worth it -- thank you for checking it out! :p
Oh and as for the fast response, reading the comments is the best part of making TH-cam content, so I read and reply as soon as I have some free time! :)
@@Marcmb That's good to know, not many TH-camrs reply at all or writing descriptions like this one
@@warumnicht_ Thanks again Warum! Hopefully you will enjoy the upcoming content, thanks for watching! :)
This is one of my favorites to play with friends, so have gotten quite familiar with it over the years, but never operated the TV in the basement while the guards were still alive so had no idea about that handy function. Thank you, watching your video delivered again.
Coincidentally, do you have any preferred ways of using the 4th pager? I tend to use the same three as you but still undecided on where I like to use the last one between shooting both Red Squares and Capitol Hilly Candy guards early to save time during the back-and-forth trips, shooting the guard at the bottom of the stairs since he's the one that tends to give the most nasty surprises, shooting the cameraman if he happens to have the middle room or just keeping it as insurance in case of screw-ups. What are your experiences on this?
Thank you Tazane, glad you enjoyed it! The TV is indeed just a small detail that's usually not really necessary, especially when playing with a crew, so it makes sense that you never had a chance to try it out :p It can be very helpful if you quickly go there ahead of time, because then you can kill the two guards with zero risk, even though it's usually not that risky anyway!
As for the 4th pager, I usually always save it for possible mistakes. I'm very careful around the guard at the bottom of the stairs, so he's usually not a problem for me. However, mistakes can happen at any point in the heist, so I just use that extra pager if I make a mistake at any point, and I know that I'm fine since I had one to spare anyway :)
Sometimes I consider killing the security guard on my way up, if the basement cameras are in nasty positions and I'm not in the mood for spamming camera loop, but generally the cameras aren't that bad, and it's likely that the camera room won't even be in an accessible location anyway, so generally I don't even bother checking!
Thanks for the guide, it helped me a lot with this heist. I noticed that the guard at the console booth never really went to the console, he just patrols around the entrance until all C4 explodes. Sadly I messed up my run somehow during the escape because I got detected from I don't know what just 2 meters from the escape box.
Edit: Finally beat the heist on stealth, that escape had my heart racing and was annoying as hell though
Congrats on the completion, Jo! Glad the guide helped :) That escape can be very nerve-wracking and tense yup, especially when you're finally reaching it after many stealth attempts!
I've been having problems with this heist, thank you so much for this guide!
Hey Niicko! Hopefully the guide will help you :) As you can see, the suggested trip mine placements are very helpful, because you have so much information all the time, that it becomes much easier.
Good luck with your attempts, and if you need any clarifications or have any questions, feel free to leave another comment! :)
Did it on my 4th attempt thanks to you!
@@98Niicko89 Awesome! I'm very happy to hear that!
Glad that the video helped, and I hope you enjoyed the experience! :D
I play this game for 6 years now, and I just found out about the TV in the basement omg...
Glad that tip helped Wihtewolf! That is indeed an amazing tool to clear the basement for free :)
@@Marcmb I always killed the guards in the basement cause I didn't know about the TV 😂
Did it without trip mines.
Great tutorial as always
Definitely can be done without trip mines, yup! Just need to be a bit more patient when scouting for guards :p
Glad you liked the tutorial, thank you!
kid named finger approves of this tutorial. easily cleared it and got the money for waltuh
Thanks for the approval, and glad the guide helped! Enjoy the money Walter!
One thing I didn't see mentioned (unless I missed it) was one of the most unique things about the guards on this heist compared to all other stealth heists.
Their waypoints wait time is almost non-existent. This can trip up both new and experienced stealthers if they haven't encountered it before.
Hey TotalConScience! You are right, I didn't really mention that, but it's a really good point! I do believe that after some playthroughs most players will notice quite quickly, and I actually feel like it's better to have the guards constantly moving rather than idling for a while at their waypoints: it makes for more dynamic gameplay in my opinion :)
There are still some situations where a guard will stop for a while at his waypoint, but in general there are also many situations where they turn around right after reaching their waypoint. I'm not sure if it was intentionally programmed to be like this, or if there's an unintended part of the code for this heist that causes it to run like this.
As for why I didn't really mention it -- my suggested strategy has 14 trip mines placed in such a way that all the relevant guards will be marked almost constantly, except the 3 entrance guards (irrelevant), the one in the final kitchen (who stops being relevant very early in the heist), and the one at the bottom of the staircase (easiest one to avoid, and would waste too many trip mines to keep him marked with high uptime). Thus, when following this suggested strategy it doesn't really matter if they are idling at their waypoint, or moving to a new one, because with them being marked you have all the information you need to avoid them! And so the guards become very easy to avoid, regardless of what they are doing :) Like I said though, very good point, and it's very useful to keep that in mind to avoid any mistakes when you're moving very close to a guard and expecting him to stop for a while!
@@Marcmb don't get me wrong, I love the heist in stealth and this little quirk is part of that reason.
Funnily enough the one guard you don't have a trip mine (edit: bottom of stairs) for is the most dangerous because he turns around so quickly, specially when you first pick the door's lock. Thankfully they introduced the faster interaction AI skill, but I cut my teeth on this hiest when it first came out, before that was a thing. So any new player may not have the coins or the knowledge to set that skill.
Good work though, great video. Nothing's changed about the hiest in stealth and it's nice to see it get some love
@@TotalConScience Yeah it's a welcome aspect of this heist for sure :) Much better than guards sitting in place and forcing you to wait.
I wouldn't say he's very dangerous (especially because there's a lot of cover to straight up ignore him, and you're guaranteed to see him on your way to the door) but you are right that opening that door used to be very risky. I remember the good old days playing with a full crew and needing 20s to open that door. You essentially had to wait until you confirmed the guard was going upstairs before starting the interaction, or you would get caught for sure.
In fact, some of those memories are still with me to this day, and for that reason you can see that when I open the door at 7:00 I keep my camera on him because I expect him to come back very quickly :p but playing solo and with AI boosts, I like going fast rather than slowly waiting for the safest situations! :D
This heist is a nightmare untill u get an ide of the map layout. Most maps have an outside area or a big center area so u can get orientated abit. But this 1 only have very narrow rooms making navigation a giant pain if u dont already know the general layout.
Hey Shiftry! I agree with that completely. I've seen many new players struggling with the map layout, getting lost with the different entrances to the kitchen areas and how they are connected. The worst part is that the heist becomes very unforgiving once you start wasting pagers, so hopefully the video will be helpful for those new players! :)
Soloing this with no killing and then doing the Diamond broke me. I still have ptsd and they are both still my most played Heists. Wish I had had this video xd
Hey again Trasen! Doing this one pacifist is definitely a lot trickier. And if you challenge yourself to no pagers, then it's even more difficult. But every now and then, it's interesting to go for some challenges :p
Hopefully this video will be helpful for players who find themselves in your past situation -- glad you consider it to be a helpful guide, thank you! :D
@@Marcmb For sure, though I still don't do anywhere near as much stealth as I used to because of one failure on it. I was moving the loot from the chute to the vent, on my last pager and one of the last bags. The guard saw me (I didn't figure out the c4, that would've been very useful) and so I tried to intimidate him, but instead he instantly cuffed me. Being that close and failing cus the ai decided not to get intimidated was so frustrating xd.
@@trasen5626 Ouch! Failing at the very end always hurts a lot, indeed. Hopefully next time the C4 placements avoid that issue completely :)
But those fails are very frustrating, absolutely...
i couldn't even manage it in normal before, and i feel even trickier after watching your guide :| how do you manage to remember the guards' paths??? Xd
It's really simple Antonio! Watch the part at 1:06 a few times, and you will notice that the guards are almost STUCK in their respective sections. Really easy to avoid them!
Love your guides! I’m waiting for the stealth guide for framing frame
Thank you GOLDspartan! Glad you're enjoying the guides, I appreciate that a lot! :)
Framing Frame is in my list of requests so it will be done for sure, but for now I'm not sure when! There are a couple that have been requested more, so those are coming earlier for sure :p
This heist is pretty time consuming but it could be easy if your patient and wait for all the guards to pass by you. Anyways thanks for the vid it’s given me a lot of helpful tips:)
Hey Mrchains! It can indeed be a bit time-consuming, I agree. Some situations just force you to wait, to avoid run-killer risks. Luckily for most areas you can just run straight ahead, as long as you know where the guard for that area is located! Glad the video helped btw, good to hear :)
There is also a camera room on the upper floor, I really like to take the guy in there out so I don’t have to worry about any cams at all anymore
Yup there are 3 spawns in total for the camera room. Two in the upper floor, and one in the main lobby. Personally I prefer looping the cameras so I don't have to bother with the operator, but there are many heisters who prefer taking out cams!
This is one of my favorite stealth heists and I know how to do it, but I could never do it, hopefully this helps! I'm sure it will
Hey Mateo! Hope you enjoyed the video, I wouldn't want to disappoint when it's your favorite heist!
I tried to include some helpful small details, so hopefully those will be helpful to you! :D
@@Marcmb They definitely were because I finally did it! I never thought of going from the top to the bottom. And that first trip mine that was placed really helped me because I usually fail when I bump into one of those 2 guards. Thank you so much!
@@youreprettygood1414 Awesome! Very glad to hear that. That first trip mine is one of my favorite strats too, because it's VERY easy to place at the beginning (after finding the two guards in casing mode) and it usually gives you a lot of information for free, when getting to the part where you have to cross that section.
Shame that in my recorded run, neither of the two guards were marked, but generally it's a really powerful and easy mine :p
I saw this video so many times that when I hear the "Evil Eye" soundtrack, I always remember its intro xDD
I didn't complete this heist yet, because I hadn't patience to it (lol) and also because I wasn't playing Payday 2 so much in the last days - Darksiders 2, a nice game :D -, but you can be sure this video will help me to complete this heist!
Hahah! It's a really good song, glad it reminds you of this! The trip mines really help a lot with this heist, so I'm sure you'll be able to complete it smoothly :D
Never played Darksiders 2, but it's good to play a variety of games!
@@Marcmb I followed the trip mines placement, and I could reach the pyro booth. But the guard decided to enter te room very early, so I didn't have time to tie and hide the hostage. After that, I decided to try another day. But when I finally complete the heist, I'll let you know c:
@@gabmoita2198 Aww, that's very unlucky! That guard _very rarely_ enters the pyro booth, but when he does, he's more likely to do it the first time you enter, at the start of the objective...
If you want, you can hack the laptop "through the booth", without alerting the civilian, which will give you more time to react if the guard decides to walk in early! Good luck :)
@@Marcmb Understood! So I got a very bad RNG lol xD
But thanks! I'll try it when I play this heist again :)
@@gabmoita2198 Yup! Good luck with your next attempts, it'll be better for sure :p
This one, Murky station and Border Crossing are my most hated stealth heists in game... playing them with random people is pain in the ***.... :/ Thanks for the videos tho! Very helpful even for those who have played the game for 1k+ hours!
Surprisingly, I agree with most of that! With so many heists in the game, it's a nice coincidence to see an opinion so similar to mine! Alesso Heist and Border Crossing are, in my opinion, the worst heists to play with a full crew... unfortunately they are just more reliable when played solo, and the fact that they are quite long can be a bit infuriating.
Glad that you're enjoying the content, and happy to hear that it's entertaining to watch even as someone who has more than 1k hours! :)
I would agree with Alesso and Border crossing, but I don't agree with Murky station. Murky station is a great heist to train stealth, and it is easy too! Not too many guards, many strategies to complete it.
@@cloaker2813 I also agree that Murky Station is a fun one! But in general I like all stealth heists, except maybe Jewelry Store and Nightclub because they are among the worst "waiting simulators" :p
@@Marcmb I agree with that, but I think the most waiting simulator is loud printing on Counterfeit.
@@cloaker2813 Yeah loud printing in Counterfeit is not efficient at all... the multiple points you need to defend during the water pumping, and then the electricity during the printing... it's just much more efficient to print in stealth :p
And that makes it a very efficient XP farm! Even faster than Cook Off, however you do need some company to not lose your mind :p
Finally! I'm not bored anymore.
Thank you NextLevelPayday! I hope you will enjoy the video, it's quite long this time! :p
@@Marcmb I couldn't look into the sharpening settings of my video and it is still a bit blurry, but it starts to blur on a much far distance or fast color changes.
@@cloaker2813 If it blurs for fast color changes, there's two common explanations:
(1) Bitrate. Any large amount of pixels rapidly changing will require recording at a higher bitrate to be able to store that information without artifacts. Try increasing the bitrate for your recording settings.
(2) Motion blur. Check the settings from your game (raw footage) and your editing software.
@@Marcmb Ok, I will try that tomorrow. But I think it's the bitrate from OBS Studio that is still on the perfect bitrate for a 1080p video.
Thanks for the tip.
@@cloaker2813 No idea how good that is, because I've never recorded with OBS, sorry! But good luck :)
Great video! I would appreciate it if there could be more tips on how to precisely line up and place the trip mines though, since sometimes missing a few units left or right would make that mine totally useless.
Hey bruce!
First of all, very sorry for my very late response. I've been busy the last 3 days editing today's video (which ended up being 30 minutes long, so it took much longer than expected) and so I have been unable to read/answer comments to focus on that.
As for your comment: I'm glad you liked the video, thank you!
When I plan (and place) my trip mines, I try to always place them:
(A) At the very end of a flat surface.
(B) Roughly in the middle of a short surface, or below a noticeable asset.
(C) Overlapping with the lines in the wall, or sometimes on top of black spots in the wall, if any.
...so that they are easy to remember. Now that you know what my general mindset is, I'm sure you can watch them again and easily see what I'm using as a reference (related to thesr ABC points) for each one. And if some of them are particularly unclear, leave a response and I'll specifically explain those!!
Thanks again man! You are the beast!
You're welcome Andre, glad the guide helped! :D
ive done this heist so many times to get to infamy 25 since it gives 2 mil exp. also at 25:29 even if the pager goes off dont answer it and you will still be in stealth
Very nice! I had no idea you enjoyed this heist :p I never pick it for our public lobbies, because it's very easy to mess up when playing with a full lobby. Also, the fact that the objectives are very linear doesn't work too well for a full lobby... we can probably play it one of these days though, if you enjoy it so much! :p
one of the most fun stealths imo, just wish it had some extra loot besides the money bags
Hey Iosi! I agree 100%: very fun stealth, and more loot would be cool. Some variety in loot type (not all money) and path to secure (not the exact same path for all 18 bags) would make that part a bit more entertaining, although luckily it's not too boring in its current state :D
I just got to the part where you place the cutters and got in the forklift to move it in the last spot and apparently the money bricks were blocking me in the forklift so softlocked myself
Hey TacticalGlueEater! That happens sometimes yes, it's an issue with the game. Drive the forklift back and forth over and over until the money bricks fall off, and then you will be able to exit the forklift!!
Amazing. Even for me with 2k hours it's an useful information. Thanks a lot
Awesome! Happy to hear that even for a veteran, parts of the video were still useful! Thank you for watching, and glad you enjoyed it :)
awesome video man!
Thanks a lot notgraphical! Glad you liked it :D
Damn you make this shit look easy. I've always tried for the achievement in the art museum (paintings idk) wearing the heaviest armor and doing the run stealth. I wanted it for a certain attachment but I can't remember
Thank you Runic Blood! I appreciate that :) Hope you enjoyed the video and the tips!
That's a cool achievement yeah, _The Turtle Always Wins,_ for completing Art Gallery within 4 minutes wearing the heaviest armor (ICTV). I definitely recommend ECM rushing it, with at least 2 players to be safe! It can probably be done solo too, if you don't mind stealthily securing the first few paintings, then rushing for the final ones.
I am sure you already got it, but you can 'cheat' it if you want. It doesn't check for SECONDARY deployments. Meaning you can go in with a suit, and just equip the armor at the end.
Wait, Hold On:It's a mod that marks the timer of an pECM abd ECMs, equipment cooldown, stamina and other things like taking bags cooldown? I need that!

This is a very informative video, I didnt know you could use those vent to transports the money bag!
One thing I always wonder is that, how are you able to open those locked doors really fast? Is it from skills or perk deck or something else?
Hey Sisiyoru! Glad you liked the video and learnt a few things, much appreciated!
The picklocking speed is increased by two different factors:
(1) Equip the "Quick" crew boost for your bots. This reduces your interaction time by 25% per bot, so -75% interaction time with 3 bots, reducing the picklock time from 20s to 5s.
(2) One of the Ghost skills also increases your picklocking speed by 100%, reducing that time from 5s to 2.5s :)

Hey Yce! The Firestarter day 1 stealth guide has been requested a few times, but there are also other "actual stealth" heists that are requested often too, and I prefer starting with those because I feel like they will help more players, especially those getting used to stealth mechanics, and safe stealth approaches in general.
I'll definitely have a Firestarter day 1 guide in the future though, stay tuned for that!!
@@Marcmb hey thanks for the heads up man, appreciate it!
@@yakeru3356 No problem! Thank you for watching this one, and happy to know the guide helped! :)
thanks to your clip i manage to do it solo :)
Amazing, John! Glad I was able to help, and congrats on your solo clear! :D
One of my favorite heists. Was managed to do it without c4, but I think it's time to reconsider using c4, thanks. Maybe do a video about solo alesso achiev with no kills, if it's possible?
I think it's more of a challenge thank regular alesso)
Hey Dmitrii! Glad to hear that :) It's also a heist that I enjoy solo stealthing, personally.
There have been some requests about doing it in a Pacifist way (just for fun, or for the Sound of Silence achievement), so I'll definitely make a video about that in the future! Definitely slightly more challenging :)
Nice guide, this heist will now be less cancer x)
But this time, unlike White House, delayed pager disappear too.
Meh... I guess it just a different system at work for this heist x)
Hey Killian! I didn't usually use this trick to get "free pagers", because as you can see from my strategy, I generally only use 3 pagers in this heist... however, since this heist has an "un-masking" step very similar to The White House, I tested it out only because you brought it up on that video two weeks ago. And indeed, it worked very well! So I added it to the video :p
It does have to be different somehow however, because as you point out, for this heist it works even if the guard is dead and with a pager delayed -- he will despawn regardless. And in the opposite case, if they are alerted but not dead, they do not despawn. So it's very different for some reason!
Glad that you liked the guide, and hopefully you will have fun playing this heist every now and then! :)
This will surely help me, as I was not planning on doing this loud for DSOD.
For the pyrotechnics, is the extra buttons and fire extinguisher a loud only thing?
Glad to hear this will help, Blucario! Fire extinguisher is indeed loud only (buttons are always Bain calling 2 buttons, three times, for each of the 3 vault explosions). If you mess up the buttons a couple times there's extra guards, but it should be impossible to mess up!

I appreciate that a lot dutch, thank you! :D
Another Marcmb video? Yay! :)
Thank you theawesome! Hope you will enjoy this one! :)
In counterfeit, would you recomend to kill the shields right before the C4 explodes or in the end when bile comes to the pool and we go to the sewers?
Hey G00D Pl4yer! It definitely depends on where they spawn. If they spawn on the boat side: kill them before C4, otherwise they will shoot you when you're moving around, and end the stealth phase. If they spawn on the other side, kill them right before escaping, because it's less risky.

@@deadlybird1229 Indeed, 100% agree! Heists that can be stealthed with literally zero effort (Ukrainian Job, Bank Heist, Diamond Store...) are generally quite boring, and often just a waiting simulator!

I always see this as the Aleppo Heist
Interesting! Is it because the font used ingame or in the thumbnail makes the S and the P too similar, or just because you like "Aleppo" more? :p
Hey, just new to the game, only been playing it for about a week now. I was wondering what the yellow indicators above guards heads and in the top left corner that signify timers for different abilities and stuff. Is it a mod? If so which one? Also what perks do you run to have that much speed with interactions and running, or is that also a mod? Thanks :)

*- yellow indicators:* those are "HP bars" or "HP values" for the guards. Their max HP is 40, that's why it shows up as 40/40 when they are at full health.
*- timers for abilities and more interesting stuff:* that's my HUD mod, _PocoHUD3_ combined with _Additional PocoHUD trackers._ If you're interested in installing them, I have a post giving detailed instructions for that: steamcommunity.com/groups/MarcmbCrimeNET/discussions/0/2279330983559406525
*- fast interaction speed:* here's my build th-cam.com/video/s0lSjtcZXO8/w-d-xo.html (skills like _Nimble_ for example interact picklocking speed, while skills like _Parkour_ increase movement speed), and the faster interaction with everything else which isn't lockpicking comes from my Crew AI Boosts -- there's one called "Quick" which reduces interaction time by 75% while playing solo. Access this menu from your inventory, and look for "Crew loadout"!
@@Marcmb Cheers. Massive help. Amazing that you're still answering questions on this video so many months after the release of this video!
@@aircraftoverviewer You're welcome! Happy to help :) The guides are being watched by different heisters at completely different times, so I always keep an eye on the comments, to answer any questions which may pop up!
What is the mod you have for your hud?
Hey Top Tier Gaming! The HUD is PocoHUD3. Thanks for reminding me actually: I have just added to the description a modding video where you can find all my mods with download links and install instructions!
@@Marcmb then you
@@toptiergaming6900 Happy to help! :)
Thanks I just completed it because you!!
Awesome! Happy to hear that the guide helped -- thanks as usual for watching, WRLDplayz! :D
Marcmb your welcome
Me and my friend had to restart like 10 times because we would get terrible security room rng so when we went to play c4 there would be like 3 cams on use lmao
Some double camera combinations can be extremely unlucky yup! It has never been much of an issue for me because I always use the Hacker perk deck, but with just camera loop it can sometimes be very painful...
I don't understand why people said this is "tricky". It's pretty easy imo. My most hated heist(so far)is GO Bank, soo many RNG involved in that heist.
Hey Projectnsight! I believe this one is intimidating to many heisters simply because of the size of the map, combined with the fact that the objectives have you going up and down a few times.
But with a bit of knowledge, and some good planning, the heist because very very easy! :D
Also, I'll be doing a similar video for GO Bank in the future, so hopefully you'll enjoy that one! :p
I've got one for you, don't place trip mines in doors as when you mask up some doors shut and can blow up the trip mine... I'm not sure which doors but it just ruined my no kill run sigh.
Very very true... since there's a bunch of doors that must be open / closed right after you unmask, for the civilian escape phase, placing mines on any of those doors will result in an explosion when you unmask. Definitely avoid placing mines on such surfaces!!!
Hey marc! What HUD mod do you use? It looks super useful!
Hey PlatonicGaming! My HUD is a combination of _PocoHUD3,_ and _Additional PocoHud trackers._ Very clean UI, with plenty of features which you can toggle.
If you want to try them out for yourself, I have a Steam post with download links, and install instructions (as well as my specific mod settings), which you can find here! steamcommunity.com/groups/MarcmbCrimeNET/discussions/0/2279330983559406525/
This was a big help but I hate this heist
Haha, glad the guide helped Zoax! Completely understandable though, this heist is not everyone's cup of tea. I personally really enjoy it, but I would never play it without trip mines!
What is the music called when he starts the playthrough?
Hey Teddynator! I didn't show it on screen because it was just my ingame music that I have set for that heist, which I believe is "The Take 2016".
@@Marcmb Thank you very much. I love that soundtrack.
@@teddynator204 No problem! It's high tier background music for stealth :)
