Got an idea for a challenge. Start at level 100, and beat the campaign. The twist? Once you start the first mission, you can't change your loadout. This means your build must be able to complete all heists. We can call it the Payday world tour.
Maybe Hacker? It's great in stealth and serviceable in loud (especially compared to other dodge decks). You can do a full pistol build with crits. Duel silenced pistols primary and a piercing pistol secondary. Basic first aid and ecm skills.
Keep up the wonderful content! Honestly, it's nice seeing someone like you with a focus on Payday. The kind of quality content you don't usually see in even other fandoms.
Awesome speedrun! I was lucky to witness the final part of the livestream, and the tension was very entertaining. The stakes are so high when the run is this long... looking forward to possibly more runs in May! Also, congrats on 100,000 Kknowley! Absolutely deserved after all this hard work!
The Payday 2 speedrun community might be small, but it's very inclusive and friendly. It's super awesome to see a big youtuber shed some light upon it and encourage more players to do speedruns. Your run will hopefully inspire more players to join in on the fun and try some runs of their own. Looking forward to seeing more names filling the leaderboards :D
@@mdb831 I'm guessing the damon drama has given you the wrong impression. The community is actually very friendly and helpsome. Him creating an 'expose' video to stir up drama was uncalled for. He cheated and was therefore banned, that should have been the end of it.
Working on a heist by heist document on what's needed for each step after this one, hopefully means that I don't have to do things from memory and will help new runners to the scene
Congrats on 100k! Speedrunning is something that I always wanted to get into, but there aren't many games that I'd consider myself good enough at and I start feeling burnout much quicker than the average person, I'd say. I'd hate to practice one of my favorite games so much that it ends up feeling like a chore that I can't stand doing. It may not be the thing for me, but I have nothing but respect for the general speedrunning community and the things they do (not to mention how entertaining speedruns are and how absurd some of the strats that people come up with can be.)
Hey man, I haven’t been the longest viewing fan ever, having just found you at the end of December, but I gotta say I really like all the effort you put into making such awesome and entertaining content for such an old game still! Keep it up!
This was a blast to watch live, I caught all of the successful run and was glad to see some of the tips I mentioned in chat (re Big Oil D2) made it into the video; can't wait for the next one, I'll do my best to see it happen live :)
You know, seeing you get 100K is already really cool, but hearing that you want to REDUCE the price of patreon to make it more fair in general makes me super happy, it shows how much you truly care for your fanbase and this channel , you earned a lot of respect with that, and on the future a patreon sub
Hey! Actual Payday 2 Speedrun Verifier here, for the Payday 2 VR section at least (hard to believe, right?) I love the look of this speedrun, and it's a super unique idea to start from scratch for a full game speedrun! Anyways, would you be interested in trying to complete Payday 2 in VR?
Congrats on the 100k. Been watching your payday vids for years. I’m sure I speak for many of us when I say we appreciate you sticking to payday 2 and making content that our small community loves rather than switching to whatever game is popular at the time even though it would likely result in greater sub gain for you
“I’d rather play Biker Heist day 2 a hundred times than touch day one again” Challenge: Biker Heist day 2 a hundred times and if you don’t get a world record you have to do it in real life
yo i’m high asf and i bought this game once because i heard it was cool and fell asleep while downloading and never played it and i’ve never even seen gameplay of this game until now and this looks like the most fun game i have ever seen and it seems like no other game i have ever seen and i can not wait to play this game when i wake up tomorrow man
I always loved this game. I never once believed i would sit behind a window, waiting for a guard to pass by 2 times so i can learn his patterns. Do the same to a few others and after 20 minutes mess it all up and restart. Sounds terrible but im having fun. And its just so calming and exciting all at the same time. I do the 4 turrets for loud so thats all the same lol.
Now I want to see martincitopants do this... lad did 3 speedruns of justcause 3, each in a single sitting. His fastest was 12.5 hours. his first was just over 20. He may not be as familiar with payday, but I feel like he has the spite to do something impressive.
I honestly feel as though Fresh% is probably the more interesting run that should be the precedent for future runs. The challenge of requiring risky strategies to optimize times, to be able to play without safety nets, the thrill of not only playing well but also being lucky and being prepared for that good fortune; isn’t that the whole spirit of speedrunning?
14:00 I think you can actually save time on this heist by using a grenade launcher and kill the driver before he even arrives. His character is like hidden behind a building that is on the same street which he comes from and killing him is faster or smth, since then the other escape option triggers.
That Golden Grin clip is eating hours of my life, so coming back here to remind myself that he hits it first try and makes it look as difficult as the tutorial heist is a bit of masochism on my part
37:00 "Somehow one of the bags got stuck and started vibrating in a way lead me to believing the masterpiece inside may not be in mint condition" Nah, its meant to do that ;)
The first time i did the Nuclear warhead heist, i didnt know about the car. So i did exactly what you did, balanced all the nuclear warheads and the cash and drug bags on the forklift and drove that all the way down.
,.,., 761,352-1y Love speedruns in general, but specially love people that bring single segment runs skills into full linear runs. Keep up the good work.
Hey Kknowley, I don't know if you listen to video ideas but I'd like to see you do challenges for payday the heist, there is a lot less to do but something like finding out the least amount of money/XP you need to get to beat all the heists would be interesting
Hacker would honestly be the best deck to run seeing as you are still able to have nearly capped out move speed with suit + speed skills, while being effectively unkillable on loud for any difficulty outside of death sentence AND having an extremely valuable stealth deck.
I don’t know why but hearing you say you’d be doing the run on a level 0 account reminded me of playing payday 2 on ps4 grinding yellow bull packages on jewelry store to try to get a suppressor so I could finally do stealth heists lmao
I run Mallcrasher twice as the first thing for some XP after going infamous since it's very quick and very easy, and I don't like Payday's stealth... Best I've found is to bring any silenced gun, shoot up the cafe downstairs, when you go grab the gas can, get the on further away first. The one closer to the front door you can actually cheese as it's close enough to pick up the through the wall which makes a second trip much faster. The first gas is probably best spent on the barbershop since it's closest, the second for the gym so you can easily move to the Pear shop and the Car. If you can delay going loud and shoot enough windows as you move along, you can even hit the requirement before the police assault arrives (except possibly on Death Wish and Death Sentence) and then it's just waiting for Bile.
21:36 Lads, you will not believe it, but I got that 5% luck for the 1st time I have ever played the heist and later learned the relative pain of finding the correct computer 😂
33:22 actually why not just walk upstairs and trigger an instant start. they get hostile when you go up. don't even need to go in the room and put the money bag
Heres a run idea, beat the game without going down or going inti custody once. Going down means having to reset your character progression and start the career mode all over again

This is a really good idea.

Stoic, silenced grim secondary, high concealment primary, uppers aced + medkits, and some other shenanigans for preferences.

can’t believe this guy only has 100k subs. that’s insane, you deserve so many more.

hey, gz on 100k subs, i stopped playing the game a few months ago but i still watch your vids coz they're really good
30:00 what a transition lmfao
Your rules make more sense. I’m surprised they weren’t the rules from
The beginning and this deserves its own category
Great fun to watch, would love to see you do another run sometime to see what improvements you can make!

That's insane that you'll be doing it again. Can't wait to see the video from the second run!
You can beat Payday 2 faster than you can find a solo game in Payday 3.
Insane run from a newcomer, hope you get a nice rest.
I really like the idea of yelwonkK basically being in Groundhog Day
This was a very interesting speedrun, may not be the best, but your explanation throughout the whole video made it entertaining.

I love this! Please do more of these and the randomiser challenge you did last month!
I know this sounds creepy but your voice is actually very relaxing. Like I’m listening to this to go to bed legit.
so glad you started this channel! helps me appreciate payday much more than i ever did before
this video's longer than how long it takes to beat a payday 2 contract
Hey Ferb, i know what we're gonna do today
Good run overall for being your first speedrun and starting at level 0, I'm excited to see more of your runs!
Loved watching this live, can't believe you managed to cut that maddening stream down to under an hour!
You said you chose Jimmy because of morale, but we all know it's because the hyperactive one who's constantly on cocaine is obviously the fastest.
You are the second person I know to assume that the deadly laser wasn't a deadly laser
A super Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sounds great
Nothing better than trying to convince my friends hardcore henry is a good movie because theres this clone guy who snorts coke

bro beat the game as fast as possible but the video is still as long as the others
Imagine you’re working at a bank and get robbed in just over 4 minutes
do you think you could do sentries only? i used to love the sentry build with the microgun
