How to unlock the Patience Is Key achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide
Difficulty: Any
This achievement is relatively simple, however it takes quite a long time to finish. Patience really is key here. Make sure to turn AIs on if you want to step away.
For you to get to use gas cans, you must chase down Matt until he crashes. Once he crashes, you will get a prompt to light fire to the van with gas cans. Don't use them, but instead just wait. It takes 30 mins for Matt to leave the van beginning when you get the prompt for gas cans. So go hide in a corner and do what you want for 30 mins. Go have a sandwich, go watch a youtube video or play a game on your phone and come back in 30 mins. If it's an online game, you don't need to worry about going idle and the game pausing. If it's an offline game, just make sure your controller doesn't die(15 mins iirc).
After 30 mins has passed, Matt will stumble out and you will have to go on to escort him to the chopper and finish the mission. Once the mission is completed, you will have your achievement.

This is very simple but time consuming. The key to this trophy is playing the heist on normal and preferably solo with team A.I., due to the job being very susceptible to incessant bugs and crashes. When starting off, run past every enemy and focus on hoofing it to the crash site as quick as you can. Grab any Zookeeper posters along the way if you decide to knock these suckers out at the same time. As you reach the mangled pile of scrap metal, formerly known as Matt's getaway van, the game will prompt you to "set the van on fire". Bain will order you to find gas cans but don't follow his orders.
Now for the boring bit. Simply set up shop in a corner and wait 30 minutes for Matt to exit the van. You can hold to shout the A.I. into a fixed position to cover you. Since the game is on normal, you shouldn't get touched hardly at all. If you don't feel like shooting enemies, you will be able to go idle for a bit and do something else. Set a 30 minute timer on your smart phone, tablet, computer, or any other device capable of tracking time as soon as the "set van on fire" prompt comes up so you know when to return to the game if you choose to be idle. Once Matt comes crawling out of the van, finish the mission as you normally would and the trophy shall pop at the heist completion screen.
