I hope that was worth it.

It really wasn't.

For what it's worth I found out later that someone on cheat sites had ginned up a thing that just force-unlocks and saves all trophies, and I could have just installed that from the start after tweaking it to just the robbedacop one. :v:

Oh well, back to seeing if I can get a Friends build to work (full joker + full sentries. Not sure what to pick up after getting those trees, or which gun to use. I want to get something for long range, but then also for punching through thicker crowds?)

If you own no DLC: M308 primary for long range targets and SMG secondary for close range work.

If you own any of the DLC with grenade launchers: M308 primary with China puff secondary, or GL40 primary with Krinkov secondary.

If you own Gage Spec Ops Pack: M308 primary with Arbiter secondary.

Joke option: M308 with Auto Fire attachment.

Are you going to run Maniac with your build for hilarious perma-Hysteria?

If you want to "punch through thicker crowds" you either want a grenade launcher like Wastrel_ said, or a shotgun with slugs, or a sniper rifle. Grenade Launchers for explosive crowd control, Slugs or Snipers for punching through Shields and for killing multiple cops with one bullet. Considering that you have to worry about ammo because of the sentries I dont know if I would want to do a Sniper.

Reallycoolname: Feb 26, 2008; Take a look! It's in a book!

You probably want weapons with good ammo pickup rates given that your sentries will be doing the fighting for you anyway. Note that with the China Puff the fractions work against you and you can't put down all six sentries right away (without Fully Loaded, anyway).

code:

for k, v in pairs(Global.custom_safehouse_manager.trophies) do
	for foo, bar in pairs (v.objectives) do
		managers.custom_safehouse:update_progress("progress_id", v.objectives[foo].progress_id, v.objectives[foo].max_progress)
	end
	managers.custom_safehouse:update_progress("progress_id", "trophy_stealth", 15)
end

This will permanently unlock all trophies and set their progress to completed.

I have no idea how you make it like, activate or go in your Payday 2 game.

Vox would make a great sociology study about the effects of a secret hunter hating any situation they find themselves in when even a hint of something new appears in their obsession. Vacations immediately become torturous without the code.

my method for screwing with it is simply going to be:

load up cheat engine

search for things at 0

search for poo poo that increased since last scan

load something up on normal

kill 5 dudes

rescan

repeat until you have only a few things that look sane

set all of those things to like 1k

complete heist

i haven't cared enough to go try it yet

I tried this, I must be bad at cheat engine cause I could never find the kill counter.

I like going into the melee tree with Turrets so I can avoid using ammo. Also bring your favorite reusable throwing weapon.

Unfortunately you can't go full into the melee tree and have enough points for dodge/armor and Jokers.

Wastrel_: Jun 3, 2004; Read it and weep.

Melee is currently useless on higher difficulties without Aced Bloodthirst, aside from weapons that stun enemies. If you want to have enough ammo to place all your sentries, get Fully Loaded and equip low damage weapons with high ammo pool and pickup (eg CAR-4, Commando rifle, Uzi SMG, etc). Bring a full ammo bag as your secondary deployable. This combined with ammo pick-ups means that you should not be short on ammo at any point.

Would like to see someone make viable use of sentries on OD though, they're already somewhat weak on DW though still usable.

Do not listen to this man.

Bring silenced sentries for your secondary and have 6 guns on the floor. :911:

In all seriousness though Fully Loaded Aced makes it impossible to have ammo issues (especially since you'll shoot very little) unless you try to bring a flamethrower or minigun.

I'm still trying to get used to the Injector. OK, it minimizes damage, but it's tricky to find out when exactly to use it. It doesn't seem to last long enough to go offensively when your armor's broken, and so far I've been using when I need to bug out.

Also, the Little Friend is odd. It's more like a grenade launcher that just so happens to have an assault rifle built in.

Tried it. 430 kills on Overkill Safehouse Raid. The next highest - albeit he dced part of the way through - was 60+ kills.

CAR-4 primary and Heather SMG secondary, relied on ammo drops, didn't have to dip into an ammo bag even once. Not likely to work this well on Mayhem and above though, fair warning!

I had 400+ kills using the Chairface Special build on an overkill safehouse raid the other night when I had to carry the poo poo-rear end pubbies that joined. I couldnt believe my eyes. I think I am 5% of the way to robbedacop.

After some more experimentation I tweaked my build and sentry placement and was getting ~300 kills in 10 minutes on the Prison Nightmare bridge. At the same time, the task is incredibly unfun, especially done alone. I think I'm going to have to setting for really slow, incremental progress over the next year, with occasional spurts when I can bring myself to grind for a session, or when I play a loud heist that lets me approach Chairface levels of death.

I'm guessing the kill counter didn't start until the achievement was added? It's hard to believe some of you guys wouldn't already have half a million kills that have been playing since launch.

Briefly, you find or write some code that listens for an event and have it execute that trophy unlock code when the event occurs - like a keypress or something. Basically, write a BLT mod.

Before wilko added continental coins to Goonmod, for example, I wrote some lua which would give 1 continental coin alongside 1 gage coin for each package set; when the package completion event Wilko wrote fired, it added a gage coin. I just added some lua which also added a continental coin at the same time inside the same event.

I don't see anything in that lua at first glance which would be any different, but I haven't tried it.

Between the point break heists and now have there been any attachments to the G3 Dmr to carry more than 10 bullets per clip? I love that gun and have even been training myself to run full auto with it.

Console is expecting atleast some kind of announcement of an update within the next few weeks. Rumor is the patch and DLC will be updated all the way up to the current PC build. Not holding my breath but I do have a little faith.

People are barely keeping up with how much harder they made the PC version.

I wonder if it will be received better, to get all the massive changes at once. By which I mean, you get the overhauled skill tree and the difficulty bumps together.

With the updated skill tree there is a skill that gives you +15 to your mag. One of my favourite builds runs a DMR G3 on full auto, and it rocks running around with a 25 round mag and double the reload speed because of bloodthirst.

Wolfhud informs me that I have 394,000+ kills in total, with only about 63,000 coming since the trophy was added.

They should at least allow kills from the Hydra mutator to count. When I last played on maxed hydra I got 1100+ kills in 15 minutes.

Does it make much of a difference? I guess if you're putting them out in the open they might be in danger, I ws mostly thinking of automating Safe House Raids.

I was convinced that was how they were going to do it. Now I just don't know. For someone like me who's just not very aggressive at copclick, that's at least a couple years of continuous normal play. It doesn't help that the gunplay is less complex or interesting now than it was before the Safehouse update.
