I picked up Payday 2 for me and a few of my friends for the winter sale. It was only about $2.99 and i've heard good things about it. Me and one of my friends decided to boot it up ahead of the others. We know nothing about the game so figured having half of us have some semblance of an idea of what to do so we can guide the others would be a good idea. The screenshot is from my friend's no Mercy loadout. He picked something only a "professional thief" would pick. This is what he chose.

We ended up fucking up the stealth and having to fight our way through the equivalent of an army just to get to patient 0. I loved the detail of the virus worsening over time. It was really seeing a piece of Left 4 dead like that in the game, even if it's not cannon.

We also did the bank heist. I bought a silencer for my pistol so i went on ahead on the roof. There was a guard who patrolled the rooftop, so i crouched and waited to take him out where no one would see. My plan was to shoot him before he walked into the camera's view. I spent a long time waiting.

Overall the game was a lot of fun. I'm excited to walk my other friends through how to play so we hopefully have a full party. Maybe then stealth will be easier so we can split resources and communicate better.
