pretty much all of them are possible at zero, but if you're interested in min-maxing your xp gain you have to look up each job's Reputation ("jc") value because hahaha if you expect anything to be simple under the hood of this game, let me tell you. With the new XP system just throwing levels at you, it's less of an issue so you can also choose to ignore it now and forever, which is probably the best choice.

I'd be impressed to see a level 0 solo dw stealth clear of Alesso, personally. impressed because it's probably going to take you forever.

I don't know about minmaxing it, I'm mostly looking for different things to do with the 13 level 0s I have left to go through. The only creative space there is at level 0 is the job you choose to do and I choose to never do another level 0 jewellery store!!

The level 0 restriction is interesting, because it would also restrict which weapons you can bring with you on a heist on top of no skills. Can you still hit 3 detection?

You can do it with the Commando 553 and a secondary that hits at least 30 concealment. The Interceptor 45, Gruber Kurz, Chimano 88, Signature .40, and Swedish K all fit the bill. Bonus points to the Gruber for giving you more wiggle room with the +3 concealment boost.

The only secondary available at 0 that would not work with the 553 would be the SpecOps SMG.

The only other primaries available at 0 are the AMCAR, Eagle Heavy, RPK, and Predator. None of those are concealable enough even with a max conceal Gruber.

I don't know what the level restrictions look like on akimbo guns now that they're no longer locked behind a skill but if they're available at 0 you could get 3 detection without any DLC.

For solo stealth, the most difficult would probably still be Framing Frame(unless you count crazy things like Mallcrasher and Firestarter day 1). The Diamond and Big Bank are, imo, more enjoyable, though.

Alesso stealth best stealth but jfc gently caress that noise at level 0. On DW I can't imagine the basement would be at all doable without perfect camera & guard locations & even then.. ugh no. Don't do this.

I mean, it's definitely doable- but yeah, forklift movement would be agonizing. Taking out the cameras is only possible a third of the time, too- in the video you can see the player is checking camera room positions before anything else, they probably restarted until they got the room they wanted.

One advantage you'd have over revenant, here, is that all kills are now silent- no more staking out an invisible 8m or whatever it was around enemies.

The usual strats I see for solo GO Bank involve keeping everyone down with control freak and the saw, so I'm not sure what the zero skill approach would look like.

There would be a mild issue since you wouldn't have enough ties to zip all the civvies and move them out back. You'd probably just have to be more proactive about screaming at people. Or kill everyone you don't tie and throw the bags out back. Yeah, just do that.

I'm wondering if you could even have enough bodybags. If I did the math right, a team of 4 all bringing bodybag cases means you'll have 27 zipties/bodybags for a full team of 4 level zeroes with the deployable asset. Can you even buy the asset at zero? If not, 24.

I have no idea how many civs you have to control your average GO Bank but yeah, I imagine it's gonna involve a lot of shouting.

DW GO Bank has 20 civvies on spawn (just checked). You can't buy the deployable, though, so you're limited to 12 body bags and 8 zip ties, I think. You've got to bag up guards, too, so lose bags there. At least some of the civvies could be killed in relatively secluded areas, though.

E: I'm bad and added it up wrong. You also each get a body bag, so add 4 to the total.

E: Just kidding. Subtract 3 body bags, since at least one person has to bring an ECM.

And if you're doing it solo, you're basically just rolling the dice. You've got one ECM that you'll use to break cameras, one body bag, and two zip ties. Have fun.

the choice to not play GO Bank is about as good of a choice as installing your poo poo-rear end HUD of choice


in conclusion, play GO Bank, it's fun

e: the only thing which could make GO Bank better is a random chance to get a CS:GO crate drop instead of a Payday safe. Imagine the steam community tears ... :allears:

My verdict on solo "tabula rasa" GO Bank stealth is that it's too dependent on stuff outside your control. Probably manageable if you get a nice set of circumstances, but otherwise, you're hosed. I got a 4-minute timelock. GenSec called 40 seconds into the countdown. Guards showed up alongside something like 5 of 6 civilians, who upon spotting all the bodies, started freaking out. They called the police while I was stuck in pager hell. If GenSec were to either not show up, or showed up without civilians milling around, you'd probably have a good shot. Otherwise, you're probably screwed.

Alternatively, be really good at managing where to drop people?
