How to unlock the What? You Want Me to Dance? achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide

Heist: Scarface Mansion
Difficulty: Mayhem

EDIT: UltimateDespair mentioned an incredibly useful tip in the comments below that can save you some much needed minutes while going for this achievement. You effectively have the chance to skip part 3! Please be aware, it works with the update that introduces the continental coins into the game, however it may be patched in the future!

A huge tip that should be added is that with the recent update to Crew Management, purchasing the Interactable Speed boost for 6 Continental Coins while having three Bots will allow you to bypass the security boxes,

The second you place the USB Stick you can immediately hack the laptop (Basically quickly pressing RB twice and holding it the second time), which makes the game think you haven’t started the hack on the laptop while still hacking it, thus never triggering the security boxes and never being interrupted,

This works because you’re hacking the laptop before the game knows you’ve put the USB stick into the computer and was a common speedrunning glitch that was patched on Steam, but remains possible on the current patch of the console version. The prompt to hack the laptop will remain on screen but you can enter the mansion and continue the heist as normal.
Okay people, buckle up. This achievement is, in my opinion, the most difficult achievement from the November 2017 batch of achievements. Took me two days of "practice." Two very frustrating days to be honest. Nevertheless, let's get into the actual guide!

As per usual, I will outline a solo guide. If you have any partners, this will be a hell of a lot faster.

If you don't like reading and would prefer a visual, please check out my video guide at the bottom of this solution.

Remember that throughout your runs you just need to be prepared for when the RNG works in your favour. You need to be prepared for the optimal set-up and be prepared for the worse setups too! Essentially, learn this map like the back of your hand!

General Map Info
-Outside guards have no pagers
-Guards inside the mansion have pagers
-You can kill all of the outside guards should they all be out of view of any cameras.
-Keep an eye out while running to the computer/security boss locations for the security boxes. If you know where they are, it can save a lot of time
-There are (from what I found) 3 different security boxes that spawn in a single run. You only need to rewire 2 of the 3.(Part 3)
-The security boss has 3 different spawn locations(Part 2)
-The indication of the boss being in a location is a radio in his vicinity, and of course the boss himself
-The computer has 2 spawn locations(Part 2)

I'll try to provide a play-by-play as best as I can in the form of parts contained within spoiler tags. They are hidden in spoilers to avoid clutter and ease of navigation through this guide.

Part 1: Spawn Area


Part 1.5: Kill Every Outside Guard(Optional)


Part 2: Computer Locations(CL)/Security Boss(SB)


Part 3: Security Boxes (Can be skipped with the quick interaction exploit)


Part 4: Entering/Opening The Mansion


Part 5: Yayo/Making The Call


Part 6: Mansion Second Half


Part 7: The Last Leg


Your achievement will unlock upon completion of the level.

Anyways, that's it. That's all I could think of at least. Let me know if I should add anything and good luck everyone going for this RNG dependent achievement!

Some of you may have noticed that this guide has been updated, I just wanted to come back and truly "refine" this solution to be more useful and less cluttered. Figured it may need it after 2 years lol. Maybe I'll come back in 2 more years???? I guess we'll see wave

What I changed in the solution update (August 2021):

-Removed unnecessary text

-Removed contradictory or repetitive statements (due to continuous updates from the comments and me not really paying attention to where I put it)

-Added spoiler tags to make solution navigation easier and avoid too much text / clutter

-Added the updated video guide, using a combination of the tips found in the updated version of this guide

I would also finally like to give thanks to the users that helped me make this guide more informative and beneficial to those who use it: Fooga for his comments about guards spotting dead bodies, UltimateDespair for the "quick interaction" skip, and Healtti for the "parkour" tips and confirming that the interaction skip is still working in 2021!

If you give me negative feedback, please let me know why or PM me. Negative criticism can still be useful and constructivetoast

I started killing everyone because like your edit states, it’s really convenient. An issue with this is that sometimes a guard on the roof will see a dead guard on the ground. It’s really rare, but it does happen. I’ve had three or four runs shafted because of this.

The two locations where it happened were the first Security Boss spawn (according to your guide), and the outside pool area in the front.

I’ll try to add this into the guide when I get a chance.

After enough runs, you can start to pick out the locations of bodies that may cause issues. Anywhere in front of a door should be a red flag for you and areas under balconies should make you cautious. There are 3 locations that you will want to look out for:

As you said, SB1 and the swimming pool can cause issues, but there is one more balcony on the right side near SB3 that contains guards. They’ve seen a body of mine more than once before, so you’ll definitely want to look out for those three areas

Got it! The funny thing is I had never noticed that balcony until you mentioned it. As I was taking my bags to the van, a blue question mark kept popping near that area, but would go away right after. Was extremely nerve wracking. laugh.

For anyone else who reads this, killing everyone outside is the way to go. I would always do it before I picked up the USB. The biggest RNG element is the cocaine package in the house. I felt that if it took more than three packages to open, the run was pretty much over, especially if it was upstairs. The house is absolutely brutal. Longer you stay in there, the tougher it gets. My phone call was upstairs, though. When I finished it I jumped off the roof to avoid going through it anymore.

I did it in 11:33 solo, but I was online so no achievement. These tips were helpful, but it really came down to RNG. I got lucky and had the USB and laptop both on the left of the house, and then got the tape recorder from the second yayo I checked. I only had to clear the front of the house of guards and had enough body bags to clear them while I waited for the hack.

Edit: Got it finally. 11:53. I cleared all the guards outside while hacking. The first yayo I checked had the tape. Then I just ran past the 2 guards outside Sosa's room.

You can get to the roof terrace quickly and safely from the outside by doing a bit of platforming. Look for the wooden boxes next to where the green jacket security boss spawn near the side entrance, left hand side from where you spawn.

Boxes > wall mounted lamp > lower roof > piece of the roof terrace guard rail sticking out > over the guard rail.

There's an invisible wall that goes down only after the manor lockdown has been lifted, meaning that you have to do the initial bit of sneaking on the ground floor. The jumps are way easier to pull off than to explain in words, I can promise you that. smile

Oh and by the way, we tested the hack glitch in co-op but indeed you need all three bots for the max interaction speed buff (+75%) to fool the system.

If we get another patch for this game, I would assume that it would fix this glitch but it is worthwhile mentioning for the moment as it saves a lot of time walking around looking for the security boxes and could potentially save time required killing certain guards. I’m yet to do the achievement so if this doesn’t sound like it would save all that much time then I apologise :)

You must play on Mayhem, Death Wish, or Death Sentence difficulty to pip the trophy at the end of the heist for anyone in the lobby. Due to the speed run element, the heist should be played on Mayhem for a few less guards and preferably co-op to split objective responsibilities and cut chunks of time off the heist.

Try to recall all the information you soaked in from Every Dog Has His day. Remember you only need to take the yayo to finish the mission, so don’t waste time with money bags. Don’t forget, you can kill the two roamers in the red room if you’ve shuffled nicely through the heist and have at least two pagers remaining. With a little luck, the time crunch isn’t too bad. If you want to remove a bit of the luck element, you can tango with a few partners to really zip through the job. You’ll want to split into an inside and outside team. With class team work you will breeze through the heist effectively removing the time element from this trophy; see below for the tasks each team has, as well as perspectives of the run.

Inside Team

This team should be the players most familiar with the interior of the mansion, since it can’t be brute forced like the outside. In the beginning, this team will swoop up the left side of the house and be responsible for the shed laptop and switch boxes that spawn on that side of the house. Once access is gained to the inside, they will clear all objectives and chuck the loot down to the outside team. Help them move bags if need be and stand in the zone to end the heist. My mate wuthg21’s point of view can be viewed below.

Outside Team

The team will comprise of the folks least comfortable with the interior of the mansion to avoid unnecessary risk inside the mansion – the more people inside, the greater detection risk. Opposite of the Inside team, this group will head off and clear the right side of the map, as well as take responsibility for the garage laptop and switch boxes on their side of the map. Whilst the inside crew works away, you’ll need to be prepared to run the bags. Once the bags start flying out, grab them and secure them at the escape as quick as possible and stand in the escape zone to finish their heist. Below is a video with my perspective of the run.

Video guide for completing One Down in 13 minutes. I advise you to watch this guy’s channel, you can learn a lot from the game. The trick with the Yakuza perk and Molotov cocktail works funny, a huge bonus to speed, as well as interactive actions.
