PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION

Finishing the heist on the Death Wish difficulty is going to take a lot of knowledge of this map and stealth skills within Payday 2. Now of course you can go in the heist loud and make this trophy even more difficult on yourself, however I do not suggest you do that. Also before we get started I recommend you bring at least one friend along to help. One of you mask up and the other stays un-masked and does some recon. Below I've broken down this heist's objectives in stealth and how you should go about stealthing this heist.

The build you bring into the heist is very important. You need to have the right skills set up and weapons to have the lowest concealment level which is 3. With this low level of concealment, you will be able to sprint past cameras and in some cases guards without them being able to see you. This Stealth Build by b33croft is going to have everything you will need for this heist.

Heist assets: The only two assets you should buy are the Extra Cutter for $100,800 and the Body Bags for $39,200. The rest of it should only be purchased on the loud version of the heist.

Marked Storage Rooms: The first objective will be to locate the storage rooms marked with the Red X's in order to find the C4 charges. These doors randomize each time you start the heist so you'll need to know all of their locations. There are four different kitchens in the Arena. Two of them are on the first floor and the other two are on the second floor. The first two are right after you get up the first set of stairs just after starting the heist you will see them in front of you. The one on your right side is the one you want to get in first. So mask up and lockpick the white door. Each kitchen has one guard and one civilian worker so you will need to avoid them at all cost as saving your pagers is essential for specific guards that you will either have to cuff or kill. From this kitchen, there will be an underground level where you can pass by the vault and up into the other kitchen on the other side. Check both of these areas for your marked storage rooms. The other two kitchens will be on the second floor of the Arena. Once you have all of the charges, you will be asked to place them on the roof of the parking garage. Below is a visual reference of the doors marked with the red Xs.

Plant The C4: Once you have the C4, you will be told to go to the parking garage and plant the C4 on the roof. There will be two guards down here and a civilian. This is the reason why I suggested you avoid all guards in the heist because you'll need two pagers for these guys. There will also be two cameras that will be put in random spots each time you start the heist and as you know, on Death Wish they can't be shot. So cuff or kill the guards in areas away from the titan cameras. The civilian will be standing next to the orange forklift with a clipboard in his hand. So tie him up and make sure no camera is near him either. The forklift will need to be driven in the correct spots under the vault in order to place the C4. When driving the forklift, make sure you use the Camera loop or ECM jammers because you will be spotted very fast while in this. Refer to the image below for a reference of the forklift and how to park it.

Put on a Good Show: In order for you to blow up the C4 you just placed without alerting the whole Arena you will need to hack into the Pyrotechnics booth by placing the laptop and waiting 30 seconds. There will be one guard and the civilian DJ in here, so hopefully you still have a pager as you'll need it for this guard. Now you will be told to "put on a good show" after the hack is over. This objective will need to be completed 3 times as there are three sets of C4 that need to be blown up. You will receive directions from Bain through the intercom on what button to press (either left, middle, or right). It doesn't matter what order you press the buttons in, just press the ones that Bain calls out quickly. Below is an Image of the Pyrotechnics booth along with the buttons you will need to press.

Cutting Open the Vault & Escaping: Once you have put the best show on of your life, you can now go reap the rewards of your hard work and start cutting the vault open. If you bought the asset I suggested you will have an extra cutter and will be able to cut two holes in the vault at the same time. Again use the forklift, same as you did when you were placing the C4 to put the cutters on and open up the vault. Be careful though when you remove the cutters the money will fall out so make sure no camera is going to see it fall. You will need to secure 12 bags of money on Death Wish in order to escape. The loot can be secured in one of the storage room vents. Bain will tell you the one when you have at least one bag of cash. Once all 12 bags are secured you can now unmask and walk through the front door like nothing ever happened. You will be awarded the trophy when the heist ends.
