TheObserver posted:Ok, thanks. There's also an "ERROR: TROPHY_RUN_TURTLE" in the trophies list. If you can say anything, does it have to do with the animal posters, or something further down the line? Is there a turtle decoration unlockable for the safe house? I mean like an actual turtle. My friend was showing me his safehouse and next to where Jiro is on a shelf was a turtle on it's back. The interact key let you turn it back over. But my friend couldn't see it in his view. Edit: Also a bunch of his guns spawned in his living room and made it look like some kind of new space gun.

That's the circular saw without a blade, and is actually stuck in my floor in Safehouse Raid as well. I also got a screenshot of some form of developer marker for where light emits from a lamp in Dallas' office. I love this game.

Hotfix up, fixes most commonly reported bugs in the heist. The trophy is for finding a living turtle in the heist- its location is random.

Heat Street is way easier than its PD: TH predecessor and the same basic strategy applies: book it for the crash site at the start, trade anyone who gets left behind, hold there and burn Matt out, then methodically move through the remainder of the map. Did it on OD first try without having a particularly hard time of it. The difference between it and Goat Sim Day 1 is that while both are open maps, you don't actually need to run around this one searching for 15 loving animals. The only difficult part is the starting run to the crash site, because unlike in the first game the assault doesn't end once you reach it, so you may have to fight for some time before you can free anyone who got left behind. If anyone is wondering about the other achievements, there's already a guide for the 8 animal posters, it takes ~30 minutes of waiting for the van to open if you don't use a gas can, and the no civilian kills achievement appears to work only on Overkill despite this not being reflected in the description.

Ugh I'm actually getting kind of into the paper heister contest. Currently testing the idea for a Pennsylvania heister who has a big red keystone on his mask and carries an SKS. Maybe make his suit Hunter Orange and he can never insert a wrong ingredient when cooking meth because he just knows better than Bain.

For those of you who are secret hunters, there's an interesting pattern on the soles of the heister's shoes. When all folded together, you can definatly make out the "2" in payday 2, among other things. When put together, you get things like this:  Someone is already putting them together:  The thought is that it leads to this: http://www.overkillsoftware.com/thepuzzle/

Access to new DLCs on my part as well as some recent rebalancing of Body Expertise and melee weapons has changed a lot of my builds. Once this event is over I'll make another effortpost of new/changed builds I've been fiddling with. Steakout + Arbiter remains a compelling weapon loadout choice, but there's also a lot to be said for Lil Friend + Uzi. Melee damage being unfucked means it's again possible to OHKO all the basic cops on OVK with a sensible skill setup that doesn't require charging the attack or Bloodthirst. The Tatonka makes an excellent fartgun and has better ammo pickup than it has any right to. And in a shocker that offended our very own Discendo Vox: Hitman: Actually a Good Deck?

Tempest_56 posted:Okay, you can't just leave that hanging. I've found a gimmick use or two, but good? The thing worth remembering with Hitman is that once your armor breaks, it will refill in 1.5s regardless of suppression or even getting hit further. I've been using it Frenzerk with HBV, no dodge, and Second Wind. As long as you can dash (with Second Wind) either to cover or just to a place you're getting shot less, you're only really trying to not die entirely for that 1.5s regen timer. Also of note for Hitman: If your armor breaks, and you Bullseye yourself back some armor, the 1.5s timer already started when your armor first broke; "unbreaking" it with Bullseye doesn't reset the time or cancel the effect. Since people have mentioned akimbo SMGs; sadly the Hitman akimbo ammo bonus ability appears to only apply to handguns, despite not specifying any such thing.

I've not had this problem. Crime Spree Notes: Start your own, then immediately "suspend" it. Your crime spree level won't progress properly until you at least start one. Once you do, your level will increase even if you're not hosting. Joining games through steam appears to bypass the CC buy in. The rewards for lower levels are laughable, less than you'd get for running heists individually. They appear to accelerate as level increases, though.

I'm stuck in a loop right now where I can't continue the crime spree because it keeps crashing as soon as a map loads, and then it counts as me quitting out of the game so it forces me to buy back in. No mods loaded in. 700 continental coins in the hole. Great loving update.

PSA: Overkill hosed up with coding the filter settings. The default off option turns off flashbangs and black and white state. Just change the setting to anything else and change it back and the game will work properly.

And trip report: Crime Sprees are pretty flawed currently. Near as I can tell, it starts you off on VH-ish settings (maybe Overkill? Not 100% sure, but the number of cops seemed way lower than Overkill) and you ramp up from there. Concept-wise it doesn't seem too bad and it's actually a pretty easy way to rack up Continental Coins, but there's some flaws. 1) Best I can tell, there's zero incentive to do anything more than the absolute minimum to succeed at the heist. Extra bags, optional objectives, none of it gives you anything since the XP/cash is based off the spree level rather than what you've gathered up. Gage packages do award, but that's it. 2) Disconnecting or leaving any time after the heist starts kills your spree. The host can drop/leave and you'll be fine, but this makes pubstoving pretty risky. If you get into a heist with a dickbag you're stuck for the duration, and you lose out if they've got a lovely connection and you fall off. 3) Crime Sprees don't show up on the Crime.Net map. You've got to change the filters to see them. (Because we totally needed the playerbase to split up further.) Not really a major issue if you just play with goons/friends, but a pain in the rear end generally. 4) The ramp-up seems kinda slow. First couple of heists are just plain too easy and six in I'm still sleep-walking. You can get some mildly interesting modifiers, though, to change things up. 5) A lot of the little unique details are gone - none of the heists have their normal default music (all are set to random track), and things like the White Xmas Cloakers are missing their santa hats. Overall, it's a bit flat but has promise. In the current form, what jumps out at me is that it saves the rewards until you end the spree - I'm seeing obvious possible applications like storing up a couple million XP, hitting an infamy and then taking the reward to jump back to 100 again; and since the reward includes card drops, saving the spree up and cashing it out once a week to get a statistically guaranteed safe drop/getting all the mods in the latest DLC pack in one go.

Advice for anyone going for the 250 rank achievement: the game will crash. A lot. Any crash counts as quitting out, so you'll need to buy back in with coins to continue gaining ranks. It's highly recommended that everybody in the group including the host disable all their mods to minimize crashing, which will still happen even if everyone has mods disabled (just less frequently). Crashes seem to happen most frequently during load screens; when this happens the host can back out to the lobby with no consequence when the map hasn't started so whoever crashed can rejoin and buy back in. If you continue the map with the person just rejoining to the loadout screen, it will not tell them the heist doesn't count for their crime spree until the success screen. At the lobby screen, it will say whether you not your crime spree is active if you click on the rewards tab at the top left; to buy back in click the button at the bottom right. The difficulty starts at Overkill and doesn't really ramp up til you're about rank 150 or so and you've stacked a handful of "increase enemy damage and health" boosts. Stealth eventually becomes "no pagers, can't kill civs" because the game will eventually force you to pick those. The enemy boosts appear to be flat multipliers that don't account for regular difficulty settings; after a certain point snipers start doing more damage than they do on One Down.

Some things to note with regard to the effects of the stat increases: 1. Enemy damage becomes an issue much faster than enemy health. 2. Shotgunners are normally removed on OD. Since they aren't in Crime Spree, they become a source of greater threat very rapidly. 3. Flat increases (like in crime spree) have divergent effects on enemies that already have more health or do more damage. This means: 3a. Snipers start doing much, much more damage much sooner. 3b. Dozers (especially LMG dozers and Black Dozers, who hit multiple times and thus are having the multiplier effect indirectly multiplied) become extremely dangerous.

Yeah noticed. After mistakenly picking Lab Rats cause I forgot what it was, we got hosed UP by dozers at Crime Spree 61. But man gently caress the rotation, I've had the option to play the Diamond like 3 times in a row due to the way it throws heists at you. Also I've had the option to continiue for 48 coins, so I said gently caress that. I can now buy the lvl 61 crime spree for 36, so great deal

It's complete bullshit that the raise in concealment for stealth heists in Crime Spree also raises your concealment OUT of stealth. Because of that a lot of my builds got gimped at the higher levels of play. It really shouldn't be like that!

Because of that a lot of my builds got gimped at the higher levels of play. It really shouldn't be like that! That's odd, I haven't encountered that problem. I used a crit shotgun build, and when we ran The Diamond my concealment was 13 on the planning screen but Wolfhud showed it as 4 after the heist went loud. Not much of a problem dodging. Personally, I'm just glad they stuck to buffing enemies instead of disadvantaging players in loud. Even at level 250, the game is still easier than One Down because you get revived at 40% health, you have 4 downs with Nine Lives Aced, and you can even buy extra deployables with continental coins. Enemy health at level 248 was 1727 for FBI SWAT and about 20800 for dozers, so that was comfortable for my usual OD build as well. It's a fresh take on difficulty for Overkill - previously difficulty meant making nigh-unkillable enemies and then also loving over the player arbitrarily.

Next up: - Armor piercing pistol. At a glance it looks stunning. Basically a Baby Deagle with more stability, almost triple the ROF, pierces shields. Half the ammo pool, though. - Incendiary Grenade. Doesn't leave a pool of fire like a molotov, but sets stuff on fire. Comes in a 6-pack. - Gimmick gadgets. A 45-degree angled low-magnification sight and a toggleable thing you can use to increase the zoom on your existing sight. - Four animal masks (Lion, koala, chinchilla, turtle) for some of the Missing Animal posters in Heat Street. Also the fluff suggests that Green Bridge will only be rescuing someone to tell us where Kento is, rather than actually grabbing Kento, so they're teasing that plotline out longer.
