The Adorning Gem is just The Diamond- we saw the Grand Duchess in question lose her head in the diamond heist trailer.

Or it could be The Diamond Heist from PD1 and we're going to have a really confusing selection now that Metal brought it up. I just want to steal something on the high seas.

Oh.
Oh Dear.
:ohdear:
So I made a mod:

Features the following on Overkill difficulty:
  • GenSec Elites and Skulldozers
  • DW spawn tables* and assault waves
  • Elites have their DW health (but use OVK damage values)
Everyone in the group must have the mod installed because otherwise anyone who doesn't have it installed will see (and be able to kill) the Greys at 130hp instead of 240hp. Also all Murkywater enemies will also have their DW health because they are literally just reskins of the greys. If you want the changes to assault waves and spawn tables, but are playing with someone who doesn't want to install mods, use the No Grey Changes version for consistency between host and client. Note that with the No Grey Changes version only the host needs the mod.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8yja44xbq64z3jd/OVKGenSec_v1.1.zip
No Grey Changes: http://www.mediafire.com/download/e7nus6pncwqqkia/OVKGenSec_v1.1g.zip

Make sure to report any hilarious and stupid bugs that cause the game to poo poo itself so that I can maybe hopefully fix them.

*The only change to the spawn tables I've made is adding Green Dozers. By default on DW only Saiga and Skulldozers will spawn. This mod will make it so all three varieties will spawn on OVK. DW should not be affected.

PSA regarding the current challenges:

Get to Cooking:
This counts completions of Day 1 Rats and Hotline Miami Day 1 ONLY. Dockyard isn't counted (presumably because the odds are low), and Cook Off is supposed to count, but is improperly implemented.
Bottom Line: Cook Off does not count. You do not need to actually cook meth to make progress.
You do not need to actually cook meth or complete the whole heist. It appears that you get one count for progress with for each player. A four man team is worth four completions.
Yes, this means the fastest route is repeatedly blowing the lab on Rats day one. I know. The more things change....

A Hundred Different Ways:
Counts Hector kills- completing the heist isn't necessary. This challenge actually counts the kill itself. This is why it's progressing so slowly- you only get one count for progress on each run, for whomever kills Hector.

It seems like the fastest approach to grinding this challenge (and it regrettably will need grinding) is to actually have a decent team that can stealth the heist quickly, then restart as soon as Hector dies.

Jacket Up:
Both bats work. Any group of criminals counts: bikers, Mendozas, Cobras, Russians (both flavors), even the Commisar. Hector and Murkywater enemies do not count.

A yacht heist would be cool, but it's probably not in the cards. The flavor text around the Gem is very definitely w/r/t the Diamond- and it's a confirmation that a really, really old (like, around launch) secret hint from Almir was about the diamond.

Do you have to beat the heist or can you kill crooks and restart? Grinding Big Oil day 1 or FS day 1 would be super quick then.

To be more serious, setting this up in the interface as an additional difficulty would probably make it easier to stabilize/popularize, to the extent that that's possible.

You can restart. The main obstacle is that, well, it's a million kills.

There's no user-checking fuckery in goonmod, just check that he's looking under the Custom Waypoints menu in GoonMod Options rather than the games edit keys one

Yeah, I was joking about that. The issue is that he doesn't have the "Custom Waypoints" menu goonmod's options (something else was missing too I think) and I have no idea why.

So there are apparently pubs that don't know or care about crimefest challenges and that makes the progress on Hoxton Breakout even more sad. Currently I cannot tell if the dodge build gunners shooting up gangsters in Rats or Hotline are trolling intentionally or just ignorant.

Make sure he restarts the game after enabling the GoonMod features he wants.

The Meltdown reward was the Pegasus Boots, referred to as "boosting boots". The description suggests it's some kind of cosmetic reward, but it's hard to exactly tell. I think it's more likely to be another crimefest XP doubling.

edit: HoxBreak's also done, no reward yet. Hopefully folks will redouble gangbattery and revenging.

Hoxton Breakout has been one of the most consistently played pub heists, presumably because of the giant XP/money payout at the end.

The hint for the Hoxton Breakout challenge is Balanced Scales! "Balances equal weights" and "1 bullet in 500 has to hit".

I think it's some kind of rebalance, but I'm not sure what to make of the "1 bullet in 500" hint. Maybe a rebalance of LMGs?
