Seriously though, thank you so much, Overkill, for locking this poo poo behind autistically-specific achievements! I agree it's super easy to get a group of people together to do a mission on Deathwish, with everybody wearing sombreros and carrying identical melee microphones, just so I can get the "Mariachi Madness" achievement and unlock the "Noticeably Superior Upper Receiver" for my favorite gun. :fuckoff:

Actually, uh, that's the greatest idea for an achievement I've heard. Minus the whole "unlocking a gun part" thing

No matter what you believe, I don't believe in you.

You're mostly convincing me we need an El Mariachi crossover DLC now with Antonio Banderas becoming a PD2 Heister post Once Upon A Time In Mexico. Now there's one I'd buy at full price.

EDIT: Would actually shift my allegiance from Hoxton for a Banderas-voiced El Mariachi heister.

Unlocks an acoustic guitar melee weapon.

BTW apparently we might be getting Kill Bill 3, so if you remember how I once said if those movies came out now The Bride would likely be in Payday 2, well, I guess we'll find out.

It's 5%. Due to the way RNGs work it's no fun and is easily the worst achievement unlock, but it's also something you can solo. Or just use SAM. Or whatever!

Ah okay, the one time I found it was when I desperately slapped a drill on every container because I had actually 0 bullets and there were no ammo bags, so I was looking for the crate that had a couple inside. I figured in other runs I just didn't find the methlab because I didn't bother to crack open every crate, but now I see that was actually a fortunate occurrence.

Can you find ingredients for the lab somewhere?

I still think cutting both alarms in Firestarter 2 is worse than the meth lab on Dockyard, but it doesn't hide any unlocks.

If you crack a loot box on Dockyard and it has chemicals in it, do not restart that mission because it means the lab spawned.

No. meth ingredients don't spawn in loot crates.

Meth ingredients will spawn in cardboard boxes identical to those in the lab on Hotline Miami day 1. Most of their spawn locations are in the corners of warehouses and traincars. The Long Guide has a map of places they can spawn, I think.

It will spawn in one of the containers on the Moretta.

I remember doing Dockyard once with some goons, and something bizarre happened.

We had been doing stealth, and a pager goes off right as the Moretta docks in, but we get to the ship and all the containers are opened. The weird thing about this is that there was still a marker for "Hold F to drill" on these open crates. We were never able to remake that situation.

Yeah, to be clear if the lab spawns, ingredients will also spawn. So the fastest way to do it is to run the map on a low difficulty and sprint around and quickly check a majority of the box locations - it's pretty easy to do. If you get meth ingredients, good, keep going and you're guaranteed to find the lab and get the achievement. If you don't see ingredients, restart. It can take a lot of time - 5% odds each restart are lovely odds each restart.

Thankfully you got lucky and don't have to worry about it!

The LEO extended magazine isn't really locked behind that achievement, it's possible to get one in a drop or buy one with gagecoin without the achievement.

Meth ingredients appear on the map on cardboard boxes similar to the ones found in the meth lab on Hotline Miami day one.

So is the Platypus 70 an actual gun? Best I and a gun nut buddy of mine can figure is its some sort of amalgamation of various different guns, like a Winchester model 70 but with a magazine fed chamber and a slightly different front sight?

Edit: I suppose it's also worth noting that the Model 70 appeared in the original point break, though not as a gun Bodhi uses, a police officer uses it towards the end of the movie.

It's a Model 70 with FN's "Tactical Box Magazine Adapter" which is a truly dumb name.

I won't defend Not Today because it's bad but even pre-rebalance some of those aren't super hard. Super boring sure, yes, definitely.

Whatever the Theia one is called: Buy the zipline asset on an H&T and zip back and forth hipfiring with your laser-equipped sniper rifle all day. I did this with an R93 on Big Bank because I hate myself, but an H&T ought to be a lot easier.

Precision Aiming: Teammate with an HE weapon: walk up to dozer faceplate, empty mag. Even pre-rebalance the problem was getting 25 dozers to spawn but there are heists with easily-farmed guaranteed dozers now. You could farm this on Meltdown if you truly hate yourself.

Artillery Barrage: Stand on the roof of a hangar on Firestarter 1 and fire at the fence.

Having the achievements be super boring is worse than having them be super hard though. I will never get a lot of those locked mods because I don't want to deal with the slog of unlocking them. I did it for Artillery Barrage because it's necessary if you want to run dodge with the GL40 and it was such an unfun grind.

hm, I don't know. Boring just means it takes time. Hard means it might not ever happen at all no matter what you do. Given a choice I'd rather have the "it is inevitable you will get this eventually" type over the "it is entirely possible you will play this game 2000 hours and never get it" type.

Obviously having neither would be best because they're both garbage design choices.

So I installed GoonMod. What are some of the key functionalities that I, as a new PayDay2 player, need to have enabled?

Also - a question about unlocking gun modifications. How exactly does it work? I know that some drop from the cards and some are tied to achievements, but what exactly is the process for unlocking mods? I would like to unlock some for the weapons I use primarily, but I can't find a clear answer as to how to make that happen.
