How to unlock the Color Me Surprised achievement in PAYDAY 3 - Definitive Guide

Reportedly not possible to do solo, as the dye packs will explode faster than you can disarm at this difficulty level and bots are of no help. You should have a 2nd player at the least to get this.
- Mission is "No Rest For The Wicked" on Very Hard or Overkill difficulty
- Whether you choose to do stealth or go loud has no effect on this achievement
- When you pick the lock on the glass door inside of the vault, you will have a short amount of time to disarm the dye packs on each stack of cash. There will be exactly 1 dye pack on each stack of cash. Work from one side to the other, disarming as you go, as fast as you can.

- - Going stealth would have you disarm locks, taking a hostage or finding a code, opening the vault, and then opening the glass door to get to the cash.
- - Going loud has you using thermite to open a hole in the 2nd floor, entering the vault from above. On Very Hard, this will be slightly more difficult than doing it in stealth, so bring heavy armor if possible.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to solo, not just "easier with more players". The bare minimum is 1 more person doing it as well. By yourself, you can only disarm 4 out of the 6.

Thanks for the input, I'll add. I believe easier difficulties can be done solo, but obviously this one calls for a higher difficulty.

@Came Too Fast - Oh, I'm just referring to disarming the dye packs! Any Mission can be done solo, I've seen plenty of videos of "Solo Stealth Overkill"!

I know about the other missions, I was replying to this specific mission probably being impossible solo with the dye packs! No worries (:

So I’ve done this twice and the achievement isn’t unlocking, glitched? Anyone else have this problem?

Didn’t work on solo, didn’t work on 2+, haven’t tried 3+, should work at 4+.

Much easier now thanks to the latest patch and can be done solo as the ECM jammer now delays the ink packages from exploding.

Bring an ECM Jammer, gain access to the vault, then unlock the interior door but do not yet open it. Once you have the door unlocked, place the ECM jammer down by holding left on your D-Pad, activate the device by tapping left again, then open the door and quickly set about diffusing the 8 stacks of money.

Once the devices are all successfully disarmed, you must collect every bag in the van, and then the achievement will pop once the heist is completed!

Happy hunting!

Even with multiple people, having one person run ECM Jammer provides great peace of mind.

I'm not sure if it's because I had my mask off still, but for the two stacks of cash that are on the low dolly, I had a hard time getting the prompt to defuse the dye pack on the rear stack of cash. The ECM Jammer came in clutch by allowing me to take the time to figure out exactly where the prompt would appear. It's also possible I could have saved myself by defusing and then bagging the front pile of cash to more easily reach the rear stack.

Great solution.

You need at least 2 people, it is advisable to do it in stealth. After the door to the money vault opens (it is locked), the paint is activated. If everyone does everything quickly, then two people will be enough to neutralize it (to do this you need to interact with the sensor on the surface of the money). There are only 8 bags - 4 on the front table, 2 on the left and 2 bags on the cart at the left table. The achievement drops after completing the robbery

very easy trophy. Just play with other players, you can say the trophy will appear on its own. If you don’t have time to hack gadgets on banknotes, they will make random ones from online for you
