How to unlock the I Will Walk Faceless Among Men achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide
Players: 1 Minimum. Recommended 2 or more.
Difficulty : Any
The 4 pieces of armour are found inside the vault. The vault spawns on the main floor of the warehouse and to open it you need two key cards.
Key Cards are dropped from the guards upon death. The guard in the security room will always drop one.
Preplanning
Dead Drop -> Thermite Paste -> Abandoned South Building
Dead Drop -> Body Bags (Not Needed but recommended if in Solo) -> Intersection
Backup -> Loot Drop Off Pont -> Waterfront Garage.
Strategy
From the start, if you turn around, the body bags will be behind the wall. You don't need them yet, this is just a precaution.
Okay, run forward from where you start and go to the ally, just before it you see a manhole cover, open this up.
Now just past the manhole is the Thermite Paste, get this and open go down the hole to the sewers. You will come to an iron fence, this can be opened with the paste. Open it and go and get the second bit of paste. You will then go back to the sewers and run to the second fence, break this and too and run to the end, you should see a ladder.
Go up the ladder and open the manhole cover. This will take you to the room next to the vault. Be careful as some guards may see you if you go look in the room.
Now we have the sewers open we need keycards! Two of them. Have a look for any guards near the vault. You will want to kill one in the room you just came out in and hope he drops a keycard. If not restart.
If he does drop one DO NOT PICK IT UP. You will want to leave it there (This is only on solo, if you are co-oping someone can take it.)
Bag the guy you killed up and throw him in the sewers.
Now run back to the start and go past where you go the Thermite Paste. Just past it will be a ladder on a wall. Climb up here and sprint jump across to the roof of the warehouse, be careful of any guards on the roof.
On the left hand side of the roof will be an open door with some stairs leading down, you will want to go down here. The room directly in front of you is where you want to go.
In this room hug the left hand side and you will see a side room. go in here the go out the other door and again go left. You should see another room, this time the door is locked. Unlock it (be careful for guards). In here is a camera worker, take him out. He will drop a keycard 100% of the time. Bag him up and hide him in the room you killed him in, no one goes into the camera room so its safe. Before you leave grab the keycard!
Okay, now we have two keycards.
Now we have both keycards, get on the roof and rump down the where the thermite paste was, and go down the sewer.
In the sewer run to the other side and go into that room.
Here I will split it from Solo and Co-Op.
Solo
Look for the other keycard from the guard you killed earlier. Once you have it located, go to the vault. Once again, scout for any guards before doing anything! Once it is safe, use the fist keycard the sprint and pick the second one up. Once you have it sprint back and use it to open the vault. You have 10 seconds to use both of them.
Once in the vault, bag the armour up and throw it down the sewer. After that take it to the get away!
CoOp
In Co-Op you will want to go back to the sewer and make your way to the other end. When you are there, make sure the area is clear then use the vault. You both need to use the cards at the same time. Once it opens, get the armour and bring it to the sewers. When it's all in the sewers, take it to the van and escape!
I had three pieces dropped into the sewers and had just climbed down with the fourth when a guard spotted the vault. I barely had enough time to drop off the one piece i was carrying and escape before time ran out.
If you're solo, it's likely going to take a while to get all 4 pieces to the van and this means a lot of time for someone to notice your handiwork.
Extra tips:
Wait for the helicopter to turn up around 5 minutes in. If it drops a container, great no extra guards to deal with, otherwise it drops off a few extra guards which makes it harder. And these guards will patrol past the vault or within view of it.
You can kill and bag 4 guards, which is plenty to give you space to steal the samurai armor.
Guards can spot the open vault from as far away as the 3rd floor catwalk out to the roof. Also, guards looking out the window next to the camera room and the room next to that can spot the vault.
If possible, do it with 2 people and have them start carrying items to the van while you swag the armor pieces from the vault.
The armor is in the vault. You will need two keycards to be placed in the slots within 10 seconds of each other to open the door. Patrolling guards will become alerted to the vault doors being open which will break stealth. If you are in the process of getting the armor out be sure to drop ECM jammers to extend your time before the alarm is raised.
After five minutes into the mission a helicopter will arrive and drop two more guards on patrol in the warehouse which will put the pressure on getting the armor out OR it will drop an artifact in a shipping container. The helicopter comes from the bay area.
This can be tricky to get and might take a few attempts. It can be done solo but I do recommend having a friend playing with you. During the heist you need to find the vault. In order to open it you need to use 2 key-cards. They can be found on guards, civilians or just around the warehouse. You only have 10 seconds to use both cards. If doing it solo then you need to be lucky with the 2nd key-card being near the vault. If you have a friend playing with you, then both of you will find a key-card each and can open the vault together within the 10 seconds time-frame. It is important to use both key-cards in less than 10 seconds otherwise the alarm will go off. Inside the vault you just grab the armor and head to the van. Remember, you cannot get spotted or the heist ends.
