How to unlock the Hot Lava 2.0 achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide

Mission: Election Day
Day: 1
Difficulty: Normal

This video I made shows the path to get Hot Lava 2.0. I would recommend either having the ECM jammer that can open doors or buying the keycard from the assets in the pre planning. With most things in this game you need a certain amount of luck to have the computers spawn in rooms you can reach without the floor. I get caught at the end as well, but so long as you press the computer before the alarm goes off you will still get the achievement.

It's very doable to do without getting caught at all, you just need to make sure you don't get caught on the railing like I do. Overall it's not that hard of an achievement to do and with a few tries you will get it.

One more thing that should really go without saying, is that you should play with your detection rating as low as possible so people don't spot you as quickly.

You can easily reach the alternative location for the computer, I think it is easier to reach without getting noticed and it doesn't need a keycard. Also, it is possible to backtrack and then check the other location that is seen in Bond OO7:s video. If the computer is in the third location, the achievement isn't possible, because you need to touch the floor to reach it.

The trophy description is potentially misleading, as the platform you spawn on could be considered as the ground. However, this is not the case. The concrete platforms can be designated as our "safe zones", and should be used wherever possible. Ideally, set up a Dodge build before taking this trophy on. If you touch the ground, eiher restart the game or (if playing in co-op), have another player attempt this run. Only one player needs to do a successful Hot Lava run in order for the lobby to unlock this trophy.

Before you start Election Day, you should buy the Security Access and Vantage Point assets, as these will significantly aid your run in order to unlock Hot Lava 2.0. This guide will assume you've bought these assets. Spotter isn't essential, but will aid your run as the guards are highlighted. As the computer can spawn in one of two areas, this guide will deviate halfway to account for both areas. It's possible that you'll have to deviate from the guide midway due to the computer being in another area than expected, but with persistence you will unlock this trophy.

Start of run
• Once you spawn in, pick up the keycard in front of you (located in the newspaper).
• Turn to your right, then jump up on the boxes.
• Jump from the boxes onto the pallets in front of you and then the containers.
• Slight turn to your left. Sprint and take a running jump from the containers, onto the two pallets in front of you (in between containers and in front of a chain link fence).
• Turn to your left, and jump onto the containers.
• Sprint and jump onto the barbed wire (where the container is stacked so you don't fall off).
• Follow the barbed wire towards the water, and jump down onto the concrete barrier.
• Jump from the concrete barrier to the platform.
• Slight turn to your left, head towards the zipline. Use the zipline to travel to the vantage point.
• Walk along the first set of wooden planks.

From this step, it's unlikely you will be able to backtrack wihout touching the floor. Keep that in mind and choose your warehouse.

Red Warehouse
• Sprint and jump from the stacked containers to the stacked green container with a bolted sign on top of said stack.
• Jump to the lower containers, up onto the pallet and enter the warehouse via the catwalk.
• Find the computer, dodging cameras.
• Use the computer, the trophy should now unlock.

Blue Warehouse
• Drop down from the stacked containers, onto the lower level of containers.
• Sprint and jump from the containers onto the container adjacent to the blue warehouse, with a pallet leading to the catwalk and enter the warehouse.
• Find the computer, dodging cameras.
• Use the computer, the trophy should now unlock.

The trophy didn't unlock, what should I do?
Restart the session, and try again.

The computer isn't in the warehouse I've picked. What should I do?
It's unlikely you can backtrack, if you feel you can attempt to traverse to the other warehouse without touching the floor, by all means do so. The ground floors of both warehouses are off-limits for the trophy.

$96,000 to buy contract on normal. You want to buy the security access in case the computer is in the second warehouse behind the security door. I created a video guide for you to see the exact route I took, and for some of the key things to look out for.

This one is annoying without a doubt. A platforming section in a FPS. On Election Day 1 you want to jump all the way to the computer in 1 of the 2 warehouses without ever touching the ground or setting of the alarm. You can walk on concrete without voiding the trophy. To make this easier, on the planning menu before the heist, place down a Keycard in case the computer is behind the locker door so you don't need to hack or pick lock it. From the start you need to jump onto the boxes on the right side and forward to the next set near the fencer. Jump onto the fencer and head towards to water. There should be rather long concrete pillar you can jump onto and then onto the concrete floor. From there jump onto the small boxes and onto the container, while being careful of the guards and civilians walking around. From that point the varies what you can do as the level layout changes now and then. Either you have to jump onto the container, then onto another container then some boxes and then onto the top floor of the first warehouse. There is also the option with the different layout that you can jump onto a container in the middle covered by 2 containers on each side. From there on, it's the same as previous. Jump onto containers/trash-bin onto the first floor and search for the computer. As soon as you find the computer and hack it the trophy pops. The computer can sometimes spawn downstairs in warehouse 2 (the one the left side near the trucks). If it does, you might not be able to do it and will be forced to restart.

The guide above does not show one of the PCs on the first floor, exactly under the one he found in the video. I'm not sure that you can reach it without touching the ground, because the floor of the building is also considered ground.
