Archonex posted:Am I right in thinking that this sounds like an expanded Left 4 Dead, only with cops and crime instead of zombies and survival? The idea of surviving through a level with spawning waves of enemies and unique/somewhat randomized objectives puts me in mind of it. There's at least 15 separate heists. Randomization isn't super prevalent, it's mainly in camera placing and guard patching from what we see in the beta. The other stuff (like the security room in Bank Heist) only has half a dozen variations at most. Some are better than others.

Sappo569 posted:I'm thinking the pager perk for 2 of the guys, combined with dominator should take care of most of the guards. We've gotten pretty far but what actually screws us is the cameras more often than not since you can't really take them out without every guard and his dog coming up to see what's what. There's no security room with a guy looking at the cameras either to take out. I really wish the cameras had some delay on dead bodies or actually rotated their views somewhat because if somebody gets downed in view its pretty much insta-alert.

Pleads posted:From what I saw of 2, Normal mode is generally pretty manageable with a bit of team work and communication, but I only got through 2 missions. Is Normal mode in 2 comparable to the base difficulty of 1 or are the Hard and Overkill modes more on that level while Normal is more manageable for bad/drunk players? Normal mode is people just starting out, grinding for cards, or don't want to be challenged. Normal mode is easy mode. Hard is what Payday 1's normal was at most of the time.

dreffen posted:So AK 762 or JP36? I haven't tried either guns and wondering what peoples' thoughts are on which to take. AK 762 is great if you have enough stuff to bring the recoil down. It does tons of damage, is fairly accurate, and can hipshoot through leagues of cops. The JP36 benefits from double the amount of ammunition but the damage is absolutely horrendous and unless you have more modifications than the AK762 you're going to be screwed with recoil. Unironically the CAR-4 is probably the best all non-AK762 assault rifle because of the giant amount of mods that go with it. Nothing else comes close to low recoil/high accuracy/decent ammo/decent damage until you get to the last M16 model. The UAR is similar but the recoil pattern is strange by comparison and the default sights suck.

For some reason when I dominated a guard and killed him it didn't count as a pager on Framing Frame on Day 3. 4th or 5th try on stealth (including one where we got the vault and gold moving but got screwed by a roaming guard), ended up taking out one of the guards frantically to avoid him calling a broken camera in, then noticed another guard walking to where I was replying to the pager. It ended up being insanely close to the last guard calling it in and we thought we'd have to restart. 4 dead guards (one dominated and then killed) and one dominated guard worked out pretty well.DreamShipWrecked posted:
It does if you have the enforcer perk to do additional melee damage actually. That one hit kills unarmored cops, vest first response cops and guards.

A melee attack won't kill them as long as they have seen you first, and it will allow you to scream them down as well.

jerkstoresup posted:Where are the possible vault locations in Day 3 of Framing Frames? I am decent at stealthing that mission entirely but I've been boned twice now because I couldn't figure out where the vault was. Anywhere the bookcase that you can move is (you can see it easiest in the bedroom) is a possible vault location.

The best thing to do on the bank mission (especially on Firestarter's bank) is to dominate a guard while he's in the copy room. The guard pathing through there is pretty rare and if you don't get him near a door you're good.

I've had this happen 3 or 4 times now on Firestarter, the van just plain doesn't register bags at all. Usually it isn't a big deal since there's only half a dozen bags at most. It took forever to find but Rats Overkill (Pro Job) is insanely good money.

Insert name here posted:How's the shield punch skill? It seems really niche for 8 points but there are times where I see shields in like a doorway and I really wish I could just get them out without waiting for them to move. The shield punch skill isn't actually winding up and taking a punch that launches him miles into the distance, you do a quick punch that'll cause him to cry out and pull the shield away from his face, at which point you can quickly blast him in it. The real problem is when shields merge together, you end up beating one guy only to have the other shield still staring you in the face.

HellCopter posted:This is infuriating: The game is spawning every mission at every difficulty multiple times except for the single one I want. Is it doing this on purpose? Yes. There seems to be a set number of missions that'll come up in rotation without others ever appearing (for instance, getting a Rats Overkill Pro Job is hard as hell). If you want a whole new set of missions to choose from you need to either complete one or exit the game as host and relaunch it.

organburner posted:So is it possible to make a low visibility loadout with a silenced secondary? It seems like you might be able to make the CAR-4 sneaky enough to be able to sneak in a crosskill with the standard silencer, but first you need the mods to drop. For the CAR-4 to be low visibility you need the stealth barrel, the folding stock, the aftermarket special and the vintage mag.

I haven't played it a lot but the times I have played we were able to find the info easily, either through stealth or the method of "IT'S CRIME TIME"-ing our way through the front door. Just look for clipboards, yeah? Getting at least part of the intel is pretty much key to making it go much smoother though. Having a keycard or the plane keys means you can avoid drilling/exploding/ECMing one of the 3 or so possible doors (which helps a little), and you can also extract as soon as your engine is verified rather than having to wait for the chopper to come back.

Framing Frame on Overkill is so easy at this point for me to do solo I've just been soloing up until Day 3 when I need people to grab gold from the vault. I get an extra 400k crew alive bonus (that goes towards respecs because seriously, there's nothing else to buy) and they get a good 50k xp/900ish cash for what amounts to 2 minutes of playtime. Win-win in my book.

Foehammer posted:Oh god now I want this. That was the best part about SWAT 4. Couple pages back but this is entirely false. The breaching shotgun took up a whole slot and had 6 shots (it's rarely worth shooting a door open when you can just lockpick it though since lockpicking took maybe 15 seconds), so you'd think you could use it as an additional weapon. Wrong, the breaching shells do zero damage unless you are within 1 foot of the guy you're attacking. Most everybody I know who played SWAT 4 took C2 charges since in addition to opening the door they had the habit of killing and/or stunning anybody who was behind it.
