It's easier, more reliable and the penalties are insignificant.) Most of the time I fire into the air to get them down and then shoot them so I don't have to keep scaring them into submission. It's a lot easier than chasing down alerted civilians with a fartgun. Other Cheeto solo stealth tips: bring a silenced shotgun, it will help you fling bodies into dark corners and save you bodybags if you do it properly. The ones I recommend (judge, breaker) have pretty high damage and keep them from firing their guns on the way out. If you need the guard to fall where he stands instead of getting flung backwards use your shuriken or primary or melee. If you want to fling a guard in a different direction, shout him down and then get in position to fling in the desired direction. It's less important to save bodybags now that everyone can bring them and ECMs but it's always fun to fling corpses.

I think with both so viable and close in stats, Infiltrator vs. Anarchist even for the types of specialized builds being discussed is mostly gonna come down to which way you want your armor to work. I would play anarchist even if they otherwise nerfed the poo poo out of it just because being immune to suppression with timed partial regen appeals to me more as a mechanic than the normal suppression/full regen of other perk decks. Particularly combined with bullseye and a heavy automatic weapon like a LMG, that whole "immunity to suppression" thing means I might as well just stand out here and keep shooting fools. I will grant this comes with the downside of if the poo poo really hits the fan, "my team needs me right now and my armor's down!" I can't be "back in" nearly as fast as an infiltrator, but considering I can definitely stay in the line of fire for longer due to the suppression immunity and constant regen, I feel it's an ok tradeoff.

Lately I feel bad for using that image for obvious reasons but it's just so good. Also in Payday related posts: Are there any heists where you get cash stacks, gold bricks, and cocaine? I had a really weird dream where I was slinging bags of all three around in an underground vault and now I can't quite recall if any mission has all three baggable loot items at once.

Yeah. I'm heavily biased against ICTV since I see moving slowly as a huge disadvantage. If I can't make something work in a suit or LBV, I'm probably not going to do it.

Anarchist works great in LBV, especially if you still take iron man basic for +30% armor and the lower tier skill in the same tree that's a flat +20 to ballistic vests. I'm actually considering swapping up to a ballistic or heavy ballistic vest even if it's not purely optimal just cuz it's jarring for me to be that fast. I'm so used to fatsuits...

I wouldn't use those, they're kind of ... bad. You'll get used to the speed. LBV/suit is really hard to give up once you get it.

I use an LBV when I don't care about concealment. I tend to prefer using a suit with Anarchist, though. 70 less armor, but the extra dodge often comes in useful.

So I understand that because of the dynamic nature of the game's music, modding your own music files into the heist soundtracks would be really tricky. But I'm wondering, since the menu tracks just play normally on a loop, if adding or replacing any of the menu tracks would be any easier? I just realized the other day I'd love to have the Jagged Alliance 2 laptop theme as my Payday 2 main menu music.

Bort Bortles posted:I've been on the fence about continuing to use Muscle exactly for that reason. I love when 5 cops are lined up on top of shipping crates in Slaughterhouse. Once I started using Muscle two of them duck out of my view and I can only kill three of them instead of just BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG five dead cops. maswastaken posted:Use a silencer and panic never happens. This was a few days ago but I still had Muscle's panic kick in with silencers while I was trying a build with The Professional for LMGs and heavy assault rifles. Silencers negate threat but I think panic is a separate effect.

As a long guide fellater, I recall that muscle panic only procs on guns that aren't silenced. Have they changed that recently, fellow long guide enthusiasts?

Yes, it's easier to replace menu tracks for that reason. I don't know the specifics but I've seen them done and the mod authors said as much. I think the trick is finding one of a similar/same length as the one you want to replace? Maybe? good choice though. Don't let Magic call you a snapperhead

Let's Go Shopping is already claimed, anyway. Payday Card screen deserves only one track. Replacing Busted with Zagrebacka is also great.

I just have mine play all of the songs randomly so you never know what you're going to get. The B-Sides stuff gets a little annoying sometimes though, especially when it's a really REALLY short song and so you hear it about a million drat times. Need a BLT mod that cycles the song as soon as one ends so I don't keep hearing RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA RULE BRITANIA
