That says invalid or expired. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be channels/whatevernumbers, I think it's supposed to be discord.gg/alphanumericstring123. I'm not sure how to find it, though.

The one I'm in has a picture of Chains's actor as the server icon, channel names like #safe_house and LFG Squad. Is that the right one? I never see anybody in the channels, just listed as online.

I know people used to hang out in the steam group's chat all the time, but I never see anyone in there anymore.

What's your username on Discord? We should be able to friend you and then invite you to the group.

Yes please, someone tell me how to play with goons. I need some cheevos, like that "Don't let cops into the jewelry store" one. Or can you just stealth it and get it? I want to try my hand at the M16 DMR. Also the breaker shotgun, but I guess those attachments aren't achivement based.


No, it has to be done loud. Tripmines are the best way - set them up at all possible entrances. I did it back when you only got a maximum of 6, too! With 14 it should be much easier.

Anarchist LBV is workable on OD, but with zero dodge you're essentially always on the verge of being downed. Cover is incredibly important, and that takes no small amount of skill.

Here's a video I made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n77J_HwBCKo

The only trouble I have with this approach is if I get the boat exit because it's no longer practical to haul any of the bags on foot, which means you need to pick one of the two ziplines, and neither is practical for all three cars. It adds a lot of travel either way and more travel means more chances to get spotted. And then you have to sneak through the valley, which is a pain. (I prefer the zipline on the left side because there's less foot traffic.)

It's not an auto-loss by any means -- you just get a lot more chances to screw up.

Awesome, thank you. You know that you have the boat exit if you spawn over there, though, so it seems like it is easy enough to manage that decision (like you mentioned in the video). I never would have thought to use a saw in lieu of silent drills + keycard + ECMs so I will keep that in mind as well.

Nah, I do it for fun.
1. 3 guards are exclusively tied to the lumberyard. Take them out, then take out civilians as they enter the area, and it becomes completely safe. This provides a powerful staging area with easy access to one loot secure zone and a zipline.
2. Bring a silent saw for the train doors and ECMs-note that an enemy on the other side or roof of the train can hear it. Save keycards and ECMs for the middle of the train if you can.
3. You can see guards' feet under the train.
4. You can both jump across, and jump up the walls of, the canyon. This makes it much easier to transfer everything but turret parts.
5. The ziplines are totally safe- and a bag sent down them is also safe at the far end.

Exit location is calculated independently from spawn location. Boat is %35 chance, iirc.

I got the boat exit from the warehouse spawn once. It's only happened to me once though.

Unrelated: Two 1Ds left: Park and Forest. I've had both of them in my grasp and ripped out at the last second. Once when we restarted Park for a guy who disconnected (and it turned out couldn't stay connected at all) and once when my three teammates on Forest each individually committed suicide rather than waiting in the safety of the train car where we had our loot with Bile incoming.

sydney gets you anarchist, a pretty popular perk deck. Wick pack, for sure, is something you can skip. The contractor and UMP have excellent feel, but aren't any better than many other options. Chivalry is still potentially useful, but IMO it's not the right choice for 1D so it's a nice to have at best. I think Gage Ninja gets you the kunai melee weapon, and poison right now is really strong, so that may be valuable?

the rest, eh. personal preference.

Biker Heist gives you the Biker SMG, but if you have Rust as a character you got the better weapon tied to the Biker stuff. Wolf Pack gives you the China Puff, which I feel still has a place even though the Arbiter is insanely good. Point Break gives you the Baby Deagle, which used to be hot poo poo. It's still ok but no longer a literal pocket primary that it was. Yakuza pack gives you both the Micro Uzi and Katana which are good, but not really necessary. Golden Grin gives you the Buzzer, but the free Electric Brass Knuckles are nearly identical: the Buzzer is a little bit faster with the attack, but it's eh. The Ninja Pack guns are still decent up to DW, so if 1D is not going to be your regular mode of play (I don't think it is for anyone except the mode hardcore autists) you'll have some extra toys to play with.

It's pretty loving great. The best way to conceptualize how to play the build is to joust at a large group of enemies, murder them as you zoom by, grab their ammo, and then pop into cover to reload and recharge your stamina.

Lather, rinse, and repeat. (use HE if there are shields or a dozer you want to blow the face plate off of)

Psion got it right, though I'd add the Wolf pack into consideration because it's got the China Lake unless you've got the Gage Spec Ops pack which gives you an (arguably) better secondary GL.

I forgot the CL was in Wolf Pack. Definitely add that or Spec Ops to the list. I would even say both - Wolf Pack now, Spec Ops when it goes on sale - because incendiaries are incredible for your 1D success ratio. Ask merc! :v:

I specifically mean incendiaries out of a China Lake or MGL-140, because for best effect you have to stack them at a rate the GL40 can't do.

The only downside to the Arbiter is that it gets affected more heavily by desync because it shoots faster.
