How to unlock the Sound of Silence achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide
Get a crew of 4, play on normal difficulty, go loud and don't kill anybody!
I would advise:
*Bringing a weak pistol in case you accidentally shoot/get tased, and the buzzer in case you have to punch a cop out of the way.
*It can also be helpful to dominate cops into submission, but I wouldn't convert them to be safe.
*Skills like Nine Lives and Inspire can help, you don't want anyone going into custody.
*You could play dodge or armour builds, and bring small and big med kits to stay alive, but playing smart and using cover you might not even need them.
*Concentrate on getting objectives done ASAP, or drawing aggro away from the objective. The worst part is the computer hack at the beginning, just try and lure cops away from the computer as best you can. ECM overdrive might help here, but we didn't use it.
*Get the minimum bags needed for escape (I believe 3) then book it to the top floor.
I've done it a few times and it's not that bad at all, especially if you find the map annoying to stealth like me.
Then I'm free, probably be playing PD2 till 3 comes out!
Play Normal difficulty on your own, no bots. Have a build that is stealth with some dodge. Do the C4 part on stealth and later on just go without giving much of a damn. Put the C4's on the ceiling, then go do the DJ part.
The DJ part is going to be the more annoying one. So before using the intercom, go out of the room so that the cops would follow you and would leave the DJ booth, because trust me, at some points there will be like 20 cops in that little DJ booth. So strafe, go in and out, be careful and it will get done.
Carry concussion grenades and have the buzzer as your melee weapon.
Note: The buzzer can actually kill cops, so don't use it more than 2 times on a cop on normal difficulty, just in case. Some die on the 3rd hit, some can take way more.
In order to not kill a single person and complete this heist, you will have to go in stealth. I recommend you use this Stealth Build by b33croft as it'll cover everything you'll need for a stealth heist within Payday 2. With the new update, the old Dominator skill became part of the game's mechanics and the aced version effects are now part of the Confident skill. With the above build, your weapons will have the max intimidation so you will be able to scare guards into cuffing themselves if you're spotted. Unfortunately, you need at least three pagers for the guards that you must take down. There are two in the parking garage and one in the Pyrotechnics booth. The camera guard is not necessary to take out on this map unless you feel you need to. It should also be noted that if the camera guard does not spawn on the 2nd floor you will not be able to take him down in stealth as there will be too many civilians near the door.
You should also play on the normal difficulty as you can shoot the cameras on the bottom level and only have to secure 5 bags of loot. You will be awarded the trophy once you finish the heist without killing a single guard or civilian. If you would like a lot more information on this heist please refer to the We Built This City on Electric Progressive House Music trophy below.
1. To understand the situation. The trophy can be obtained by taking guards hostage. When they notice you, press R1 (You must look at the guard). This will cause him to give up and you can answer the pager.
2. Start the robbery and jump into the very first room. If you're lucky, you can find C4 there. The first place where we need to knock out the guards is the basement. We also install C4 there. At the death sentence there will be 2 guards and 1 hostage. Look for a place where there are no cameras, and take the first guard hostage, and then the second. But be careful. If you take a guard in an inconvenient place, then the second guard may notice the first one from afar. And with a high probability this is a restart, because the armed guard will be noticed by the camera, and then that’s it, the end. After the guards, we carefully hide the hostage. I recommend just installing a jammer, and while it works, hide the hostage
2. The second place where you need to take the guard is in the room with "Alesso". In general, that moment is random, because the guard can enter Alesso’s room, but as I understand, he does this very rarely. But I still recommend taking him prisoner
3. The last place is where you will throw your bags. Capture a security guard there, and a civilian as well, just in case.
4. After this comes the most exciting moment. You need to be careful and attentive. Because one small mistake and you have to do it all over again. Look where you need to go. It will either be on the left side, or it will be on the right. Then carefully exit and get the achievement
I also highly recommend using the 6th sense skill! Personally, he will be very useful on the death sentence. On normal difficulty it’s immediately clear where you need to go, because if the door is closed, it means there’s nothing there. You can also use mines, and they will be useful in some places, but I'm used to playing without them
