Payday 2 - Heist Tier List
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- Here’s a more in-depth explanation on how I ranked the heists. Firstly, I’ve decided to use 7 tiers from S to F. S being the best of the best and F being not very good. In general, all tiers up to and including D I still consider somewhat decent and worth playing. Anything I’ve put in tier E and below I think is poor to terrible. For the ranking criteria I used these main factors to judge each mission:
• Design - does the heist make sense, are the objectives intuitive or do they clash with each other? Does the mission flow well, does it waste the players time with unnecessary timers?
• Visuals - does it reuse assets, is the setting unique and does it look good (as good as PAYDAY 2 can look these days)? Does the map make sense and does it look like it could exist in reality? Is it another warehouse?
• Replayability - how linear is it? Does the map layout change in any significant way each playthrough, do the objective locations? Are the objectives fun to do multiple times?
I also took into account some secondary characteristics that are less important but are still meaningful to the heist experience in some way:
• Story - does it tie in with the narrative of PAYDAY 2? Are there stakes or is this a silly goat heist that in the end means nothing?
• Soundtrack - how good is the track and does it fit with the setting? Is it meaningfully distinct and different from the others?
• Gimmicks - how innovative is the heist, does it introduce any new gameplay opportunities, if it does are they any good? Does it try to change the formula in any significant way?
• Stealth - can it even be stealthed? How fun is it to stealth and is the heist even built with it in mind?
With the help of these criteria and personal taste I rated the heists accordingly. Some missions however were exceptions, while they may have had scored well in many areas, they might have scored very low in a specific one, which knocked them down lower than they should have been and vice versa. For example, Breakfast in Tijuana scored decently in all areas except design. I though it was designed so poorly that I, in good conscience, could not give it anything more than a D. On the other hand, Black Cat had such incredible style, visuals and soundtrack that I boosted it up to S tier.
That’s it for the long-winded explanation, cheers if you actually read all of that.

Ayo the cat is talking
what the dog doin?
It's a shame that some heists got ruined by future difficulty updates. Like many of them (e.g. biker heist, aftershock) were made for much smaller enemy numbers.
I actually like Border Crossing a bit more than some. Despite the low effort, the Mexico section actually feels a bit like shadow raid with the free looting and variety of approaches. Loud can suck it though.
Honestly I actually love Framing Frame loud, weirdly enough. The spectacle of day 2's ambush is quite good, still one of the best scripted encounters in the game imo. Day 3, while just powerbox defense, is honestly a kinda fun layout.
Aftershock still feels alright imo
Nice video! Love the editing and beautiful short retelling of the heists objectives and setting.
1:10 I like how you bring up the argument Connor Shaw stated, “wait if the cops are here, shouldn’t the concert be evacuated?”
I didn't even know there were so many missions in the game, although I played from the start. My favorites have always been the straightforward ones - 4 stores, club, firestarter. The missions of the following years were all over the place and too complicated in goals that I stopped playing. I hope PD3 will be more arcade fun and about HEISTS
You don't have to wait for the taxman to pick up the harddrive, if you simply shoot without a silenced weapon the cops will be alerted and the heist will start early. The only difference is that you will need to find a crowbar to open the trunk, since the taxman hadn't grabbed it yet.
Great list! Many good points, and I agree with most of your rankings. Transport harbor is the best transport heist though, change my mind.
Funny edits and writing throughout with solid takes. Nice
omg election day so nostalgic constant resetting to do Day 2 instead of Plan C tagging the right colored truck but 1/3 odds still

I remember the stress i got for the achievement for the secret with random we barely make it
Random note, Brooklyn Banks intro explains the no van driver, Locke controls it with a remote control... I guess overkill never enabled Twitch when developing the level and thought it was funny to make it canon that its remote controlled.
Ayeee, Cat is back, with a bang
Finally someone who appreciates Buluc's mansion, it has to be one of my favorite recent heists
I respect your list although I think you forgot something to mention some episodes being lore reasons and everything
finish up certain Heists ( which are by the way the following breaking feds, the golden grain, Henry's Rock, Brooklyn Bank, no mercy and shacklethorne auction must be done and as well as play a piano to get basically 20 of the 55th messages there are basically hints to certain achievements you need to unlock, go back to the White House ( nowadays you can do it by yourself or still bring a party if you feel like you need extra protection) a glowing painting and you will need to solve a riddles 5 times and you get to the rest of the ending just make sure you shoot that one spoiler character and that's it
Something worth noting, safehouse raid, while disappointing in it's underuse of the safehouse and boring objective, does give quite a lot of Continental Coins upon completion, I'm pretty sure this happens even if you aren't hosting. Even then it works as a great showcase of whether a build struggles, can hold out, or can just simply take control of an entire map, which is not that hard on mayhem, the difficulty I usually choose.
*Safe house nightma-
Shut up is bad F. Moving on*
Oh cool! You are back!
Same tier list for payday 3?
Getting back into payday 2, finally moving up to PC from console. This has been great for deciding which DLC to pick up
Welcome back !
Big Bank is S tier.
That does it. 10/10 list.
I think Framing Frame Day 2 would benefit from the simple change of if you stealthed day 1 (meaning the cops don't come after you on day 2 after the deal), then you should be able to take the money bags to the van you started the mission in, instead of carrying 9 of them through the warehouse to the other side where another van is in now
Transport Crossroads has an ass load ATM's to raid for extra loot and you are basically guaranteed to have a saw with you which makes it higher up in my opinion
Yo my boy is back
Great video now guess i should do mine tier list lel
The cat is officially back
By my copy of the game Golden Grin was bugged so badly, i could Fire a whole LMG empty and nobody World give a fuck until the find a corpse
What is the duel-wield build you're using throughout this video? I never managed to make a viable one
Cook off deserves better. It's the community accepted farm heist, have some respect
What are those black, cyan, and pink/magenta gloves youre using in the heist footage? i need them like the funny dallas needs medic bag
Are some of these heist like border crossing crude awaking and crystal crossing only for PC cuz I don't see any of these heist on PS5
I can confirm that aftershock is accurate, peak california experience
I actually enjoy any heists that involve vehicles which is a shame due to how jank they are.
aftershock for example is a great concept that I love, if anything I just wish the driving section was longer and more linear similar to goat simulator day 2.
System Shock ost... I kneel...
he be alive
nrah alesso is awesome
Rember for Alleso heist sound of silence achievement just play loud pacifist it's easily doable
wow. interesting perspectives here. a lot of misses since you dont know the deeper intricate details that makes some of the heists fun and easier (looking at some of your stealth opinions)
wow 30% of the video are heists that begin with the letter A or B dang
If only Charon had that survivability in the movies and real life.
Me want butter
Lab rats at bottom? I know that map is pain on dsod but cmon its classic.
you seriously gonna talk about all the good stuff about big bank but wont mention the bawler "ode to greed" soundtrack, shame on you-
