I would like to declare that it is absolute bullshit that ceiling-mounted turrets can spawn directly over objectives in a heist that has a melee-only run. I understand achievements are supposed to be a challenge, but that is ridiculous horseshit.


vvv Had the last one spawn in the room with the scanner, directly above it. So yeah - almost directly above a 'defend this' objective.

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

Can't they be ECM'd long enough to do the objective? I mean who the hell normally brings ECMs sure but for a melee run it's not like you need ammo bags, and tripmines/turrets probably count as a kill with not-melee so they're out.

"git gud" really isn't a useful thing to say to anyone, anywhere. Its unironic invocation here is getting a little tiresome.

Murky Station Notes
  • It looks like there are 14 extra bags of loot: 12 bags in traincars (6 in each), 2 in the basement. The basement ones pull from the same set of spawn positions as keycards, thermite etc.
  • Like Bomb: Dockyards, you can crouch and move in between traincars. Unlike Dockyards, these areas are mostly safe. Sometimes boxes will spawn to block off one end of these paths.
  • The only real DW changes are Titan cams, some more guards, and that vents in the basement have screws you have to remove before you can enter them. Of course, you can remove the screws safely from inside the vent, so...:shrug:
  • The map is easy. Really, really easy. There's a completely safe spot within about 5 meters of your character at any time.
  • The guards occasionally doing a 180 appears to be a bug regarding how they select locations- I won't be able to be certain until someone pulls how their nodes are set up.
  • On Overkill and DW there are 3 guards in the basement.
  • There are four dumpsters in the map, roughly along the four walls of the upper area.
    Dronechat
  • Each drone has a basic pattern- when selected, it will leave its perch, go scan its preassigned area, then return to its perch for the next cycle. Its detection range is often wider than the light cone it emits.
  • If broken, a drone will begin to wobble, smoke and emit small electrical arcs. Broken drones will alert guards, and other drones if they are in neighboring locations.
  • A broken drone will behave as normal, returning to its perch. I do not believe broken drones can be selected to move again.
  • For most drone positions, if you shoot out the drone as it's lowering to its rest spot, it will be invisible to guards. A couple of drones will alert guards in certain positions, though. Breaking drones is basically not worth it.

Try this. You might want to edit the settings, since this gives you my particular setup (the best setup, obviously, but I recognize that tastes vary). If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. I literally just zipped up the files I copied out of my Payday folder.

And lastly: are you mad that you missed out on Boiling Point in its original, more difficult format? Do you wish you could fight nothing but blues on EVERY map? Well then do I have a product for you! I call it Nothing but Blues. That's kind of a lie, though, because specials still spawn. Point is, basically all regular cop spawns are replaced by blues. Exciting, right? I thought you'd agree.

Installation instructions are in the download, but here's the short version: I blatantly ripped off of Wilko's mutators, and, because I know nothing about LUA, just edited the shields mutator. So take your current shields mutator (you need GoonMod for this, if you haven't figured it out yet) and put it somewhere safe. Then put this thing I'm giving you in that same folder and enable the "Nothing but Blues" mutator. If things start exploding, post about it and I may or may not look into it.

This isn't 100% accurate; pistols and BRs can both spawn in the non-bomb traincars. There'll always be six per car, but the type is variable.

Good to know, if weird; pistols and rifles have the same value, but pistols are a lot easier to move with. I'll fix it in a bit and add a good strat for no witnesses I just came up with.

VH. Did it three attempts in a row, thus my raging. I get that achievement runs are supposed to be difficult, but encouraging a melee-only run then placing an (effectively) melee-invincible obstacle over an objective is kinda gently caress-you.

Crabtree posted:

Boiling Point is really easy now. But you did it with pubs, so I guess sort of?

Anyway, since it's irrelevant now, here's the secret that Chorse, Pickle, Psion and I came up with to deal with Boiling Point when it was actually really hard:

The first part is the hardest part, and it's where I assume most people blow all their resources/die. One person needs to run and start the hack, and one person grabs the C4, but does not plant any of it. I mean, they could try, but it's a bit risky. Anyway, once the hack is going, everyone needs to run to the right side of the map, as you're facing the wall. There is a rock formation not far from the edge of the wall. That's your holdout spot. The little valley in between the rocks is the safest spot, and that's where any FAKs should probably get dropped. Hold there until the assault wave starts to break, then push out and restart the hack/plant C4/get asset resources. Move back to the holdout spot as the assault ramps up. If you're really lucky, you'll be able to fire the missile and get inside before things get really ugly, but either way, fire the missile and go inside once it's relatively safe.

Second part is charging the EMP. IMO, the best two spots are a) inside lower level, and b) outside. The upper area doesn't have great cover, IMO. For (a) and (b), there are relatively defensible positions you can watch the EMP from. Since the cops have low health, it's generally easy to kill them before they can hurt you much or turn off the bomb. EMP goes off, you head inside, killing Dozers along the way.

Third part is doing the scans. The best holdout spot is in the room that has the door you can pick in the back hallway. Drop deployables behind the desk. Get the objectives done. I won't go into great detail here because this part is honestly not terribly hard as long as you don't overextend or get wasted by the turret. The thing that you absolutely should not do is pick up the briefcase. Figure out where it is and leave it alone. Put all the bodies you're going to scan (all of them) in the scan room. Do the scans, grab the server. Wait for an assault break. As the assault starts to break, two to three members of the team should start walking the server out, while the other one or two members wait near the briefcase. Why? Well, triggering the "escape" objective turns on an infinite assault wave. Normally, this isn't a big deal. But when every enemy is a blue, and there's no cover on the way to the escape, and there are also snipers, life loving sucks. Anyway, by leaving the briefcase alone, you can turn on the infinite assault when you're ready, and the server has already been moved as close to the escape as possible. Grab briefcase, and run like hell. My assumption is that, since it's not a bag, even if the runner goes into custody, someone will get the case and be able to exit. This assumption has not been tested.

And that's how you do Boiling Point on hellmode.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
So, No Witnesses.
1. Stealth the heist as normal, preferably without using any pagers.
2. There are 3 guards in the basement; take them out quietly.
3. This leaves, on Overkill, 8 guards up top. Use your remaining pager on one of these guards. Take out and bag the construction workers if you can.
4. The final rush varies depending on where the escape is. In either case, consider starting things off with a grenade to identify all guard locations.
a. Boat escape is a bit of a crapshoot. One player should run each "aisle" between trains, taking down enemies. Each kill should be counted up so you know when you hit the goal.
b. Van escape is easier. 3 players on the overpass, 1 on the middle level underneath, covering the area under the overpass. Count up kills to 7 as before, then run to the van. Watch out that the lower player covering the blind spot can have a blind spot immediately in front of them.


Concordat posted:

I believe the hitbox is the lens configuration on the bottom. That said, it's not worth doing- it's a huge risk that a guard will see them before they retreat, and for some locations even after.

It's possible to put a Theia on an unsuppressed Lebensauger and still get your visibility down to 13. It might be a good idea to have a person or two using these to spot guards from the upper ledge. Then, once it's time to kill everyone, a single shot will highlight every guard on the map with an exclamation point.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. Nothing but Blues is now separate from All Shields. New download link here, for interested parties.

As far as I can see, it does replace basically all the normal cop spawns with blues. Beat cops still spawn, but that's fine. Same with specials. I need to test it more, though, since sometimes regular units sneak through. I think some spawns are hardcoded, though. Example: Tans on the roof in GO Bank. Basically, if people play with this and see weird spawn issues, they should say something so I can maybe figure out what I did wrong, if I did do anything wrong.
