• Somewhat fewer guards in the trainyard, but the hiding spots under the middle of the traincars will be closed(the ones on the ends of cars will still be open). Drones unchanged.
  
• No civilians or radio. Some of the key objects (particularly keycards and thermite) will be spread across the map. Only one blowtorch spawns. Most key item locations will be in different locations.
  
• Whiteboard is erased. A note from the head of security about how dumb it was to leave a giant notice about where all the keycards are is attached.
  
• One traincar contains 6 bags of battle rifles, one contains a EMP bomb part, one contains 8 bags of turret shells a la train heist, one contains a thermobaric bomb. Hacking each traincar opens only one pair of doors- often part of the loot is at the far end, and there are two sets of lasers in the way.
  
• In the basement, one of the central rooms is replaced by a large vault. The vault door opens into the central dividing hallway. Opening it requires two keycards and a server, then hacking for ~20 seconds. A set of lasers is a bit past the door. The vault contains the other half of the EMP bomb, 4 bags of battle rifles and 6 bags of gold. One it is open, guards will periodically walk partway into the vault to check it- there are safe spots in the corners.
  
• 2 bags of pistols and 2 bags of battle rifles spawn in typical locations in the basement.
  
• The basement vents are sealed.
  

• 2x rocket pads and radar dishes. 1x radar always near spawn. C4 bags are further away.
  
• EMP bomb is dropped out at lake at opposite location from spawn. This is too far from the facility, so you have to disassemble it and carry it (2 bags, like MS) into the building, then assemble it and set it off.
  
• The lower entrance into the sawmill is blocked.
  
• Players need to drill into the hatch past the electrified gate-it did not open on its own. Enemy spawns are centered on the area during this time. This can also be opened with a saw.
  
• All possible turret locations spawn inside the base.
  
• The base interior has cloaker hiding spots active during the early scanning period (This just translates to more cloakers). Snipers can also set up on the observation windows.
  
• Players must scan all 8 test subjects to leave. The scanner is biometric; two powerboxes will spawn. In addition, enemies will set off a gas trap during scans 2, 5 and 8. The gas trap floods the entire base- players must rush to find each one and shut it off. The gas will stop the scan.
  
• 2 servers must be secured to leave. The briefcase will be hidden in one of several locations, though it's still pretty easy to find.
  
• Leaving the map is made much harder. First, the Reapers will have successfully re-closed the gate leading to the hatch. Players must drill it(always 3 breaks), while under extremely heavy opposing fire. This can also be opened with a saw.
  
• Enemy snipers will be a continuous presence along the escape route. A turret truck will be parked to partially block the hole made in the wall. Cloakers will be hiding in the forest outside.
  

• 2 crowbars always spawn.
  
• Mitchell's pool party is much larger- about three times as many people (24) will spawn, with some always spawning in Wilson's basement.
  
• The hack takes additional time. Each box will break 1-3 times on its own, or police can interrupt it. If the hack begins in stealth, two civilians will path down into Michell's basement and spot the hack.
  
• It is possible to complete the hack in stealth by shouting down/killing the first patrol, answering the phone, and taking out the second patrol when they enter Mitchell's basement. During the hack, Bain will mention that the white mesa system is being monitored from outside and has a bunch of undocumented subsystems. Shortly after the hack is finished, the police will be alerted by the security system.
  
• Big 'ol pallet of money in the basement, which breaks down into ~16 bags. C4 always spawns, positions are different on DV. C4 explosion = wipe.
  
• Utilities: 2 water valves. 4 powerboxes (2 interior, 2 exterior, opposite sides). Utility interruption will operate on a separate spawn loop- a Bulldozer will continuously attempt to interrupt whichever utility is at issue. When printing, a 15 second delay occurs before the Bulldozer spawns when it dies. Other enemies will not attempt to stop utilities.
  
• Other enemies can attempt to stop the drill at the safe, or the hose at the spigot. The game will not attempt to specifically assign that task- it will be incidental.
  
• Printing: You will be going for a cool 15 million dollars, which translates to about 50 bags, before Bain starts to worry about inflation and says you can call it a day(though you can go for more). This isn't as bad as it sounds because the trapped pallet of money counts toward the total. I'm thinking you will need to print 35 bags.
  
• A limited amount of ink and paper spawns in the basement, garages, and side buildings. Alex will periodically fly over and drop additional supplies as you use up your stock. This can land in a number of bad spots, including in the street and on the roof of either house. Ladders can be found and used to access the roof. Paper and ink will need to be restocked after every batch.
  
• All possible turrets will spawn, as will Winters. Turret vans will also release a one-time batch of enemies on arrival. Snipers will attempt to walk into the map and set up on the roofs of the two main houses.
  
• The big "undocumented subsystem" Bain was worried about is a gas trap. The bunker will occasionally flood with gas for about 2 minutes until Bain is able to shut it off again. Printing can continue as normal during this time.
  

• The hack will become a cyber war between Bain and the g-man, with you running support. Hacks will take longer as you rush around the building plugging in computers, restoring power, putting out fires, and killing cops as Bain spouts nonsense techno jargon.
  
• Taxman's limo always lands on the roof. It also always catches fire (meaning the taxman will have less "health")
  
• The gas area is much larger. Gas attempts will occur multiple times.
  
• You will need to set up a secondary server system in one of the other possible hack rooms during the first hack stage, then during stage two, a tertiary server in the remaining room. Each setup involves carrying a backup server Bain left at the main server room in the building to the location, setting it up, plugging it in, and starting the hack. Interruptions will require resetting all active servers.
  
• One powerbox spawns on each level of the building. Police can stop the hack at powerboxes (rare) or at servers.
  
• During the second stage of the hack, servers will begin to overheat and catch fire. A single fire extinguisher inventory item can be found in one of the stairwells. Servers can be cooled with the extinguisher at any time, but if one catches fire, it will interrupt the hack.
  
• Interrogation will work as normal the first two times. The third time taxman will refuse to cooperate, so players must perform several actions to drag his chair over and dangle it out the window.
  
• When the escape begins, 10 bulldozers will spawn at the bottom of each staircase.
  
• You must secure all three servers. Throwing the server across the gap is recommended. Players can apply boards to the gap to narrow it from the escape side.

• Turrets, worth what I assume is an almost necessary complete tree investment?
  
• AR top picks? Shotguns are great but 90% of the time I'm ADS because tans so I want to try other things.
  
• RNG still a fucker.
