thread: PAYDAY 2

I wouldn't mind verifying very long runs, however I doubt there would be enough runners to justify the creation of contractor runs.

Especially since they would have to be single-segment, so they are mostly endurance challenges. For RPGs like the FF games the length is not an issue but I don't think it is appropriate for a game like Payday 2. In my opinion, as a spectator, I prefer watching clean and optimized runs than marathons. But anyway I don't even like endurance heists like Coof Off in-game. I am just not the kind of people that are attracted by that.

Moreover there are already many levels that have not even a single completed run in some categories, or have barely one run. The community looks a bit too small for such extra categories.

Anyway this is just my opinion as speedrunner, I'll contact Cladall and let him have the last word about this.

Not everything is perfect with their tournament build, for example the version of the game used which will sometimes change (they want to add the new skill trees), and the run-killer drill on Slaughterhouse.

But it is a great step for the Payday speedrunning community and hopefully Overkill will think about us when fixing bugs and such, and maybe even standardize every single map with a time-attack mode.

At the moment, the most important issue is the difference between everyone's specs though.

@Voetiem Yeah, you're right, I didn't realize when I wrote that.

Now considering how many exploits there are in Payday 2 (interactions through walls for instance) I doubt there are many true glitchless runs in here.

Here you go: (found by Doktor Krutz)

It is an OOB that allows you to finish the map immediately once you landed after the fall, a bit like the OOB on Big Bank.

I can't record a run now because of exams but I can confirm it works on vanilla Payday.

Now, with Big Bank and now this one, should there be two different categories for these maps (any% and glitched%)?

Yes indeed. I really hope it won't get patched because it is a very interesting feature that limit the impact of RNG on this map.
