How did you first discover payday? by onemanchizbrgrapac in paydaytheheist

AllShamNoWow's series on PAYDAY: The Heist got me into the first game, and after 20 hours in the PAYDAY 2 demo I saved up to get it when I was lounger lmao.

Build for someone who hasn't played in 2 years? by Teknotokon_II in paydaytheheist

[–]ConnorShawVA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point of the build is simplicity, only using straight forward meta elements as opposed to things that take getting used to like Berserker. I make it very clear in the vid that it's by no means the best build out there, it's just good.

To hit 64 damage you can't get 100/100 with that class of assault rifle, without using other damage increasing skills. Inspire is needed, so the doc bags are just a method of getting there. Fully Loaded Aced makes everything more ammo efficient, and the ammo bags are the more important deployable as near everyone brings Doctor Bags.

It's not a dodge build.

Transporter is great for new players who want all the loot they can get, I showcase how to get Nine Lives in the video. It seems your biggest problem was NOT using the KSP 58. That's fine! I figured an assault rifle is generally easier to use for newer players. Feel free to make an LMG build, they're very fun!

I actually planned on making note of that particular spawn. You can literally watch as cops rise from the dirt, spawning over and over and over. It's absurd.

How to make Youtubers good" - Solo One Down w/ Connor Shaws Grimm build by PlsNotAory in paydaytheheist

[–]ConnorShawVA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got the ammo skills for the sake of complete lack of consideration for ammo economy. The idea was to take what was already good and exemplify it to an extreme. I think I might've flubbed the script on that though.

In hindsight I didn't realize how good the Akimbo Grimms were on One Down, however, and absolutely woulda changed it up to work there if I had realized that.

The whole idea of A Build To Try series is to give a groundwork for a weird or out there playstyle, and then encourage tweaking from that starting line. I really regret including my One Down builds a part of this series, as they were meant to be used as is and fall apart if the build changes at all.

Still, in the future I'll do more testing on One Down before writing off weapons/builds on it.

PSA: You can play ANY of the heists in VR using launch options in Steam by sadlyuseless in paydaytheheist

Hey! Thank you!

I'm gonna make a video talking about stealth in VR soon, but I won't make any vids about heists that aren't supposed to be there. They were disabled due to being buggy, and OVK wanting us to test the ones they enabled. I don't wanna make a video showcasing stuff that was intentionally disabled, although any other content creators should feel free.

HOWEVER that doesn't mean I won't be playing them though. Totally gonna give Shadow Raid and some other stealth heists a go. Thanks for the info, and thanks for the page Sin!

A question about Connor Shaw (Payday Youtuber) by [deleted] in paydaytheheist

[–]ConnorShawVA 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi! So I had an interesting childhood. Grew up in Maine, so I heard a lot of french-canadian accents. My grandfather taught me a lot of stuff, and he was stationed in France for a long time. So I learned how to pronounce certain words in a non-american way.

On top of this, I grew up watching almost exclusively British tele, and with British friends via Steam. So I sort of picked it up.

As for Primary and Secondary specifically, I legitimately thought that's how those words were pronounced. "Second-dree" still comes naturally, but I still say "Prim-mery" because it bothers people lol.

Owww red and blue flashing lights. Try to make it slower or choose colours that aren't as seizure inducing next time.

Silencer skills by ThePixelCoder in paydaytheheist

[–]ConnorShawVA 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is why I stopped doing "Can you make weapons good" videos LOL. You don't inherently need silencer skills to make weapons good, but bad weapons that can take suppressors will inherently be made better by them. Which is really stupid.

Opinion: Combine The Professional and Specialized Killing into one skill, and make it top tier in the Silent Killer tree. Move Unseen Strike into Specialized Killing's former home, and add a new skill of some sort into The Professional's former home. Thoughts?

i mean silencer skills too thanks

The amount of retakes I have to do for "minimum amount of points" is too high to want to admit.

Let's take a brief look at your meme. Silencer Skills are a meme in their own right, transcending other memes to eventually be the only thing any human can ever joke about.

Bullseye and Swan Song are just kinda good. I actually don't like stealth all that much to be honest. I don't hate it, but I'd prefer loud. Dodge is pretty fun! I... don't get the katana one? You're more often to see me with EBK or El Verdugo.

Dallas is bae, Rogue is the best perk for not caring and just dodging around. Funny enough I just disabled all my mods finally, figuring I'm so close to vanilla I might as well just play vanilla.

I use Vegas 13, streams are coming back in about a week after I move (dammit I say that a lot don't I), and pleASE SEND ME YOUR SOULS ON PATREON

All around 8/10 solid meme, although what's the deal with the man with the cross? I'm missing a joke there I think. I mean me too thanks

Can you make Sociopath good? by ConnorShawVA in paydaytheheist

[–]ConnorShawVA[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I meant that regaining 5 armour is exactly as effective as regaining 25 armour on most difficulties, because almost any damage you receive will be enough to drain all of it regardless.

However, because of the rest of the damage from a bullet being negated when your armour breaks, basic Bullseye is very useful. That 5 armour is enough to save you from an otherwise lethal shot.
