How to unlock the Breaking Dead achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide

There is a really easy way to tell if the meth lab spawns on the Moretta. There are several locations on the map where open cardboard boxes with the various ingredients spawn (the exact same kind that spawn in the meth lab on Hotline Miami Day 1). These boxes only spawn if the meth lab is on board the Moretta. Ingredients WILL NOT spawn in the wooden crates that need a crowbar, only in the cardboard boxes.

This is a map of the dockyard with the potential ingredient spawns marked and a map of the keycard spawns as well (Credit for the first picture goes to Ktash on stackexchange.com, thanks bro! The second comes from the Payday wiki).

I've heard from players on the PC version when I still played it actively that there is a ridiculously small chance that even if there are no ingredients on the map at all that the lab can spawn, but I personally have never seen this playing the mission dozens of times so I can't speak to the truth of that.

I'd recommend stealth for this mission if you can manage it, since fighting enemies is by default more difficult than fighting no enemies. The worst thing in stealth is waiting for the ship to make it to dock lol. My best time for stepping foot on the Moretta itself in steath is around 15 minutes, and my loud times easily broke that time, but then again I love stealthing jobs in Payday. Besides, 400 second hacks are the devil. But stealth vs. loud will just come down to play style I guess, it doesn't truly make a difference either way.

This achievement took me and my group about 8 hours of restarting to finally get it to spawn and for about 6 of those hours we split up and searched in four separate games. So the spawn rate is not great.

Great guide, thanks. I Just checked the right or left side where it was marked and if the boxes weren't there, restarted. Took about 10 tries.

Before you get to the ship, you should be looking through cardboard boxes for meth materials. If there are no meth materials in the cardboard boxes throughout the docks then there is a very slim chance that the lab will be on the boat. Below is an image of the map for the Bomb: Dockyard heist which provides the most common locations of cardboard boxes.

I strongly recommend you do this on normal difficulty first and foremost. You will most likely have to restart a couple of times and you do not want to be spending tens of thousands of dollars on the contract and pre-planning. Stealth is also highly recommended simply because less enemies peppering you makes the entire heist much easier, albeit much longer time wise. 

Pre-Planning Breakdown:

  • Body Bags - Main Street
  • Camera Access - Dockyard - Right
  • Computer Glitch Routine
  • Crowbar
  • Manifest

With the housekeeping out of the way, the achievement is fairly straightforward. You want to identify if the lab is on the ship by checking the cardboard boxes. If you do not locate the meth supplies in the boxes simply restart the heist, buy the pre-planning and hit it again. If you see meth supplies, then progress through the mission to the Moretta and locate the lab on the ship in one of the containers.

The meth lab is completely random if it spawns or not. It can take a lot of retries for it to spawn but there's a trick to know if it's there or not so you don't have wait for the boat to sail around with the containers. Around the entire area you can find brown boxes. If you can find meth ingredients in them, then that means the Lab is there so you have to check every corner of the map and all the train carts. If you find the ingredients somewhere, you just have to continue the heist and wait for the ship to dock. Once on the ship you will have to unlock all of the containers and find the meth lab. You do not need to cook anything, just find it.

The laboratory is located in one of the containers on the ship (appears randomly), on normal after long replays it did not appear for me personally, I installed the hard drive and found it a second time. If ingredients are found on the map, then there is 100% a laboratory.

You start the mission on Hard difficulty, it drops out more often than on Normal, immediately run along the left side to the end of the pier, there is a truck with an open body, run inside, there are always several boxes there, and if there is no small cardboard package next to them, where the ingredients should be, then feel free to press restart and so on, it happened to me 8-10 times, as soon as you picked up the ingredient, feel free to complete the mission, there will be a laboratory on the ship 100 percent in one of the containers.
