Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio – Costello is new to Payday 2, so we talk him through a few heists showing off stealth and combat. Finishes with a Hoxton Breakout on hard difficulty which was actually a little tricky we were mis-spec’d so as to present a challenge. Oh boy did I miss Inspire Aced and shotgun damage. We eventually nailed it after a couple retries. Costello… welcome to Payday!
Fun tidbit: even at lower difficulties on levels that you’ve done plenty of times before Payday 2 can be a nerve-wracking game. Here, we were getting our asses handed to us by Bulldozers towards the end of Hox Break Day 2 (eg see 1:49:55 and 2:16:30), so what did the game do right at the start of our third try? Send *two* Bulldozers. Who didn’t engage us, and just walked away, never to be seen again – not that we could be sure of that! See 2:22:00.
Jump right to the action and skip the exposition:
– 13:45 Bank Heist Cash (Loud Stealth)
– 46:45 Jewelry Store (Loud Stealth)
– 1:03:00 Mallcrashers (Stealth… just kidding)
– 1:15:00 Hoxton Breakout, Day 1 (Attempt 1, desync’d)
– 1:24:00 Hoxton Breakout, Day 1 (Attempt 2)
– 1:35:40 Hoxton Breakout, Day 2 (Attempt 1)
– 1:52:40 Hoxton Breakout, Day 2 (Attempt 2)
– 2:18:35 Hoxton Breakout, Day 2 (Attempt 3, success!)
