Amazing feedback guys! I feel like a second part is definitely going to be needed with all the extra references you've found! A few mistakes I want to correct but don't want to pull the video down altogether. John Wick is a 2014 film, not 2004. It's Mortal Kombat, not combat and in general I can't spell... Oh, and just because a reference you assumed to be the case isn't mentioned in the video doesn't mean that you're not right! There are some just too obscure for me and any you find will be added as an addendum when I get round to part 2!
Fun fact: The "Dallas" Mask is an direct reference to 'Payday: The Heist" because in that game, Dallas was a heister with the exact same mask, pretty cool reference tbh
@@TV-MA.x_x. he is the main character I use 😂 if you’re trying to troll you’re not very good or you’re just that illiterate that you haven’t payed attention to a game that’s been out for nearly 10 years
The 'Fatman' mask also seems to reference the Fallout series as the colour scheme seems based on 'Vault Boy', the series mascot as well as the Fatman being a weapon introduced in Fallout 3. A Big Boy restaurant statue can also be seen in Paradise Falls, a location in Fallout 3.
@@olympicwest7490 what are you talking about? Nagasaki was a City in Japan that was struck by Nuclear weapons near the ending of World War 2. The Bombs dropped on Japan were named Fatman and Little Boy. I don't remember which one struck Nagasaki... but that is real and messed up history.
3:20. Just as a heads up, the names he said for the colossus are names given by the community. They were never given out officially by the devs, and are the 3rd and 16th colossus respectively.
I'm pretty sure the Invader mask is also a reference to the film "Mars Attacks!" due to the brainy parts of the mask and also because, in the description, the words "Why can't we all just get along?" are used, which is a direct quote from the film said by Jack Nicholson as the President.
@@Pottzy damnnnnnn I think payday on consoles would be so much more elaborate with the updates, a crying shame we didn't get some of the amazing pc content but a mistake to improve upon in payday 3
The main reason for those masks being Borderlands references wasn't included in the video. They are named: "Dallas, The Chief", "Chains, The Weapons Expert", "Hoxton, The Infiltrator", and "Wolf, The Maniac" This is akin to the Borderlands intro cutscenes showcasing the characters and their class name. Roland The Soldier, Mordecai The Hunter, Lilith The Siren, and Brick as Himself (aka Berserker)
@@BumNanner451 that seems like a reach, you can just as easily say that cartoons like ninja turtles do the same thing and thats what the payday animated series was a parody of, old exaggerated cartoons
@@theOriginalRudeDude well no shit then why do they name it SPECIFICALLY like borderlands, and yes you can clearly tell just based on the thick outlines of the masks that it references borderlands
the Venomorph seems to be a mix of both Venom from Marvel and the Zenomorph from Alien and an achievement that requires you to wear it also references Venom
I immediately let out a sound when I saw this. Masks are so underrated and not talked about enough. Still waiting for a all masks rated from b33croft or you
So, you said that the mask "Daisy" is just a reference to John Wick, but it may also be a reference to doom. While the doom slayer was killing demons before, the death of his pet rabbit daisy was what really got him to slaughter demons for all eternity (at least as far as I know) This is kinda similar to John Wick, just that in his case it was his dog.
I thought the Green Russian visor mask was a reference to Rainbow Six Siege Tachanka, he’s a bit of a folk hero/meme, it is historically accurate but may be a homage to that.
The intuition mask looks more similar to the character Spinal from Killer Instinct but I do see where you can the fusion of Fulgore and Glacius as the mask has a robot face and an icicle looking beard, great video altogether.
Could you layer emergency blankets in a way that would block out the wireless human performance technology? Would you want to be dressed and forced to behave in the ways required to market you/others as the man than figured it out to select individuals?
i'm fairly surprised they didn't put in a jojo reference with the stone mask, or make that a majora's mask reference with the idea of stealth. "some idiot thought he could put on a dumb mask that looks like a rock and just walk through the front door, he learned how wrong he was very quickly"
I dont remember what its called or its exact look but i remember one that strongly resembles the Stone Mask of Immortality from Jojos Bizarre Adventure, specifically the one the made Dio what he is
13:40 I've seen the picture, probably from the film in which guy wore the exact mask, idk what that film or video was, all i'm saying that i personaly doubt that this is a music reference. Also no Ctulhu, Dracula, Hellboy masks references were mentioned, unless you did it on purpose so Older videos about "mask references in Payday 2" can be usefull, you still mentioned a lot of stuff that i didn't knew :D

Make sure to add the point break mask
And no not the remake lol
I don't think it's really necessary but you should add Jimmy's mask as you can see it in a blink and you miss it moment in HH
The thespian mask is not master chiefs helmet

I think Pickle face is partly a Plants vs Zombies reference due to it looking very similar to the squash from the original game
But it also looks like the pickles from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Thats exactly what I thought
I thought it was related to the "Chains is in a Pickle" joke, since there's an official song on GeneralMcBadass's channel about that
@@shadysandman4848 it is
The venomorph Id say is two references which is Alien and if painted correctly it looks exactly like venom.
Yeah! I painted mine to look more like venom cuz I thought it'd be pretty cool.
or carnage with red and white! :)
I have mine painted like venom. Lol love it
It also looks like a Doom Hell Knight
It’s also in the name

The name Fatman also eludes to the Atomic bomb of the same name dropped during world war 2... which goes along with the Nuclear war theme of Fallout.

The GRIN is also a reference to the expression OVERKILL's programmers have when they go mad over the Diesel engine.
Missed Cthulhu, makes me sad

I wish we had the enter the gungeon masks on console, it's even more annoying since the statues to get them are already in it

13:05 fallouts vault boy?
Yeah I thought so too, makes more sense then a restaurant chain which many people will never have seen
I assumed it was a double reference because of the name
@@vampledample same
Plus the Fatman Launcher. a iconic gun from the game
10:20
Tachanka mains: oh this is where the fun begins.
I mean, there is a DP28 mod with bipod.
so Tachanka can heist
@@boopdooq1743 if only Sokols voice was deeper
YES
Lmg mounted and loaded!
I always took the gage blade mask as an army of two reference. It's an almost exact copy of salem's mask, minus the paint job
The Optimist is a triple reference, also by sharing some visual aspects and color palette of the Gundam series
Thank you for not playing loud background music. There were so many mask but those 15min passed like it were 5min. Well done!
Just a small correction: The Collateral sunglasses are explicitly said to be Tom Cruise's character's glasses from the film, Vincent.
Me: been playing payday for over 4 years
Also me: I never knew half these mask existed
4:59 umm i thought that was added because of the payday animated series joke... I don't think that's borderlands mate...

11:17 I always thought that this is an reference to the Boss Berial in Devil May Cry 4
6:11 it more reminds me mutated bread from TF2
I have done nothing but teleport bread. 🤣
Thousands of hours played yet I didn't know 90% of these.
Bloody interesting video to watch, good stuff@
As a console player I never got or Knew About the griefer mask
Robo-arnold is a double reference, I think. It bears a much more striking resemblance to Sylvester Stallone than Arnold.
Could be a reference to one scene in an Arnold movie that has Stallone on promotional material for Terminator
I immediately let out a sound when I saw this. Masks are so underrated and not talked about enough. Still waiting for a all masks rated from b33croft or you
thank you for re sparking my love for this franchise i cant wait for payday 3 and here's hoping for the best for it
Surprised non of the president masks were mentioned
The shadow warrior mask might be a reference to Miriko. His nick name was Cro Cop the mask is called Co Cop
from my personal observation the gage blade mask is from Army of Two
Yep I see this too. Maybe worth a mention in a follow up part.
I think the god emperor mask the name is a reference to the emperor of mankind from warhammer 40k
I think it is yeah
Cursed one reminded me of the lich king, or his dad. The grin reminded me of the smile battletoads have lol
i love the sell shaded masks they are so clean

This is kinda similar to John Wick, just that in his case it was his dog.
I think it came out in the John wick dlc though.
John’s dog was named Daisy and the mask is the exact same breed
doomguys family died too
I thought the Green Russian visor mask was a reference to Rainbow Six Siege Tachanka, he’s a bit of a folk hero/meme, it is historically accurate but may be a homage to that.
Mask came out years before Siege did.
Dunno if it's just me but I feel the braniac mask might also be a reference to splatter house given the design of the mouth hole placement
The intuition mask looks more similar to the character Spinal from Killer Instinct but I do see where you can the fusion of Fulgore and Glacius as the mask has a robot face and an icicle looking beard, great video altogether.
The Grinch also has a line about Halloween that I believe references the boogeyman from Nightmare Before Christmas. As it looks very similar.
This might be a little late but i feel like the Paycheck mask on 13:00 reminds me of one of the Purge movies? Just a random feeling i got.
The Funnyman mask is based on the masks that Joker and his goons wear to rob the bank at the beginning of The Dark Night.
Firestarter, Spackle, Gumbo, and Smiley look like "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" references to me
the neon masks can be an reference to The Purge: Election Year
Full called the missed RX-78-2 Gundam reference in the coloration of The Optimist.
Frick man i thought this was story vid from notifications but i love it anyway
I thought the fatboy was a reference to "vault boy" from FALLOUT and the nuke launcher "fat man" of the series
And here i thought fat boy mask was a reference to the game fallout.
13:10
Likely a bit off both given its name!
@@TheKknowley Well the _Fatman_ is a nuke and Fallout is quite a bit about nukes so it could still be a Fallout reference
Bro why does this guy talk like JFK from clone high?
There are A LOT more references in masks than I thought there were. . . How do you even research this stuff lmao
He's literally just reading the wiki verbatim.
Could you layer emergency blankets in a way that would block out the wireless human performance technology? Would you want to be dressed and forced to behave in the ways required to market you/others as the man than figured it out to select individuals?
I know i'm 3 years late but at 6:16 that's a reference to either Venom or Carnage from Marvel
i'm fairly surprised they didn't put in a jojo reference with the stone mask, or make that a majora's mask reference with the idea of stealth.
"some idiot thought he could put on a dumb mask that looks like a rock and just walk through the front door, he learned how wrong he was very quickly"
Honestly thought the grin mask was apart of wolf but i guess not. Great video bro!
Well Ulf did voice Wolf and a lot of Wolf's backstory is founded in Ulf's own..soooo you're not far off!
The presidential masks are point break (1991) references
Intuition looks like one of the star Wars bounty hunters
Kamul mask is a reference to Goauld Anubis.

The oogie boogie man?
Dillinger death mask always perplexed me.
World renknowned criminal dies. QUICK! CAST HIS FACE!
FatBoy is both a reference to the burger chain and the Fallout series’ Vault Boy.
I'm Probably Pretty Late But The Dolph Mask Is Based On Dolph Spaghetti From Goat Simulator: Payday, I'm Pretty Sure
Mega Kawaii is my favorite and most used mask in game
Fun fact: the no mercy map and the merc that bain talk about are references come from the masterpiece,left 4 dead 2.
Left 4 dead 1, the map was ported to left4dead 2 though
There is an italian "important man" called: Silvio Berlusconi, he has his own mask too XD
Pickle face is literally a pickle from Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2
I play in PS4 and I've NEVER SEEN the Griefer/Clicker mask, it's still in the game?

The Xbox masks can be downloaded for free on the Xbox Store
11:11 i believe this is also a Nightmare Before Christmas reference
I dont remember what its called or its exact look but i remember one that strongly resembles the Stone Mask of Immortality from Jojos Bizarre Adventure, specifically the one the made Dio what he is
Pretty sure Venomorph is a mix of a Xenomorph and Venom from Spiderman.
The sputnik helmet reminds me of the fallout 3 eyebot
The Optimist looks more like a Gundam than a transformer
It would be HILARIOUS if they made a corona mask for a little update during quarantine
They're technically is already it's called the doctor
Say what you want but the Vlad mask is a reference to tachanka from rainbow
12:10 remembers me more Dark Side than Thanos
the MASKA1 is probably the most protective mask in the entire game as IRL it is rated Class VI (6) armor over (typically) a Class IV (4) helmet
I'm pretty sure the Blister Head mask is the Hillbilly killer from Dead by Daylight
Maska 1 - You serius? Thats like colling a swat helmet helmet 1
The invader mask might be a mars attacks reference
theres a mask in reference to the movie mask with the wood texture it looks exactly like the in movie mask
Very interesting i never thought about these mask

okay but why did no one notice that there wasn't the Thanos mask
it was Darkseid
Also thats not chiefs helmet. Thats the operator helmet with a added section for a third eye (In refrence to paydays story. The REAL story)
4:50 i think they are based more on the payday animated series
love it mate.
pickle face reminds me more of 'the squash' from plants VS zombies.
The Volt mask also looks like the character Spawn
The 1969 Mustang Mach 1 is not a coupe, it's a fastback.
