You can now move civilian hostages around but not guards. People who spec into the Ghost tree would have a total of three bags and could buy a body bag perk. First off, body bags which could transport dead guards or civilians away from prying eyes has now been limited to one per player. Instead of being a one and done type mechanic, they wanted a stealth level to be a stealth level all the way through and not being able to relax.Īnd to do that, the developers have altered how stealth and the levels work. What the developers decided was that this was not how they wanted stealth to be. Once that was done, the level was clear and you had complete control and could do everything you needed without interference.īeing detected in Payday 2 is about visual sight and abstracted systems that aren’t fully explained well. Ergo, your ability to safely take out four guards without raising an alarm would increase to six.Īs mentioned, you had to take out or subdue every guard without raising an alarm or being spotted by a camera. The point was that dominating a guard would not set off a pager and joker would allow you to dominate a second guard. These skills were found in the mastermind skill tree. They were: Dominator and Joker allowed you to force a guard to handcuff themselves while Joker made the guard your AI partner.
The easier levels always featured less than four guards, allowing a basic team to get by.īut harder levels featured five or more, requiring additional perks. With the right perk, the team as a whole could answer four pagers before the operator grew wise and sounded the alarm. When a guard was killed they would set off a pager alert, requiring the player to answer it before time runs out. With the majority of the skills needed for stealth in the ghost skill tree.
Originally stealth worked almost as a mini game: Challenging you to remove the guard threat in the level without setting off an alarm. To understand how Payday 2 has changed, we first need to talk about the original system or how it was up until the last two updates. And for Payday 2, the definition has fluctuated for better and for worse since the release. The problem is that the concept of stealth is different depending on the designer and fan in question. And depending on who you talk to, could have gotten better or worse over time. Stealth game design has evolved considerably from the days of Metal Gear Solid, Thief and Splinter Cell.
