Dusk Golem
A 21st Century Rockefeller
I started playing the beta last night and I'm really impressed but how the hell can you play it without turning into Call Of Duty? Every time I put the mask on all hell breaks lose and I get wave after wave of police. I'm probably playing it wrong but considering that I've never played the first Payday that shouldn't come as a suprise.
It is possible to play most every mission stealthy. How you do it changes based on the heist, random elements, etc., and not all missions can be (Watch Dogs and Rats cannot, for example), but there can actually be a lot of strategy and execution put into getting a good stealth heist done, and often stealth heists can be very rewarding financially if you can pull them off. There are sometimes other solutions to heists; the Jewelry heist can literally be beaten in 18-20 seconds if you know what you're doing and are fast enough on normal difficulty with at least two other people. Likewise, some heists have super hidden stashes, and if anything like the first Payday, there is probably going to be one level in the game (maybe already available) that has some super secret extra-long but ultra rewarding heist if you can crack it and figure it out (in the first Payday, there was a super secret heist in the first level that had clues on how to do in other levels, but in bizarre ways like there's a hint on a carpet design in another stage in the game on how to get passed a security tile room, you'd need to find a secret vault which you'd have to wait 1000 seconds for it to drill and open, but without exaggerating that heist would give you so much money and experience it was ridiculous).
