Achievements, also known as Trophies, are optional goals introduced to reward skillful play, encourage varied play-styles, or simply track progress through the game. They are distinct from the Safe House Trophy system, although some goals are shared between the two.
New players should be aware that most achievements are purely superficial, only serving as a form of bragging rights and/or proof of one achieving certain impressive feats. Some (especially those included within a DLC), however, will reward the player with a mask (usually bundled with a pattern and a material); others may give weapon modifications. The simplest way to find these achievements is to search the text on this page (Ctrl+F on windows, Command+F for MacOS) for the word "unlock". To find achievements that unlock weapon modifications, instead use the phrase "for the".
- Note: Achievements on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One versions of PAYDAY 2 do not award mods, masks, etc...
Starting with the 2013 Halloween Event, temporary "teaser" achievements are added to achievement pages prior to an update that contains new achievements. The teasers are removed when the new achievements are live.
Introduced in Update #171 were achievement milestones, which are reached by unlocking certain numbers of achievements, with more milestones added as achievements are added to the game. All achievement milestones grant continental coins, with some also giving cosmetic rewards.

- No One Cared Who I Was... is a part of a quote by Bane from The Dark Knight Rises.
- The conditions required for completing the achievement are a reference to the second part of the quote:"...until I put on the mask."
- The achievement's icon was also Overkill producer Almir's Steam avatar for a long time.
- Yeah He's a Gold Digger is a reference to Kanye West's song "Gold Digger".
- Fish A.I. is a joke about Infinity Ward, who showcased their fish A.I. in Call of Duty: Ghosts as a big achievement.
- The description of the achievement is also a reference to the joke, due to the fish AI in Ghosts simply moves away when the player moves near.
- Lord of War is a reference to the film of the same name, which is about an illegal arms dealer.
- You Shall Not Pass! is a quote by Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring film.
- Man of Iron is a reference to the Marvel Comic character Iron Man.
- Additionally, it could be a reference to the DC Comic character Superman, who is frequently called "Man of Steel".
- Smooth Criminal is a reference to the Michael Jackson song of the same name.
- They See Me Baggin', They Hatin is a reference to the song "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire.
- An F in Chemistry is the lowest possible grade one may receive in American and British school systems, alluding to the crew's failure to add the correct ingredient and causing the lab to explode.
- Caribbean Pirate is a reference to the Disney movie franchise Pirates of the Caribbean.
- Doctor Fantastic is likely a reference to the Marvel character Dr. Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four. He is a doctorate and a scientist who invents many high-tech devices, similar to the fusion engine stolen in Big Oil.
- Diamonds are Forever is a reference to the James Bond novel and film of the same name.
- Shoot the Glass! is a likely reference to the film Die Hard. The antagonist Hans Gruber orders his henchman to shoot out glass windows when he discovers that protagonist John McClane is barefoot.
- The First Line is likely a reference to the first forward line in the game of Ice hockey.
- Tip the Scales is still possible to do even if players have overlevelled and cannot enter the old Laundromat Safe House. By upgrading John Wick's Shooting Range to level 3, the Lady Justice statue can be found in the Kill Room.
- The Armed to the Teeth achievement's icon depicts a Crosskill equipped with the Punisher Compensator, Tactical Pistol Light, and 12rnd Mag. mods.
- The Fully Loaded achievement's icon depicts, from left to right, top to bottom: The Crosskill, Deagle, Bernetti 9, CMP, Bronco .44 with the Pocket Surprise Barrel, Chimano 88, Krinkov without a stock, and Locomotive 12G.

Guessing Game On day 2 of the Firestarter job, complete the heist in stealth without hacking the computer. |
Play on Normal difficulty so that there are only three to four boxes to choose from, as opposed to four to five. Because the two correct wires are randomized, the probability of correctly guessing which two wires to cut is ~33.3% if there are three boxes, and ~16.7% if there are four.
They See Me Baggin', They Hatin' On the Garage escape, get away with 8 bags. |
Possibly the best place to do this would be in the Rats job. The Transporter skill is helpful for moving bags.
On Day 1, cook at least six bags of meth. Meth bags are lighter than money bags, so cooking extra meth would make the escape somewhat easier, but a lot of time is given for an escape with eight bags anyway. If you encounter the Garage escape on Day 1, then restart the heist because it cannot be encountered on Day 2, making the achievement impossible.
On Day 2, make the trade. If you traded in at least six bags of meth, then there will be three extra money bags in the room with the intel. Grab enough money bags so that you will end up with at least eight loot bags total after you steal back the meth.
If you do not encounter the Garage escape on Day 2, then restart the heist. Otherwise, bring a saw or shaped charges if possible to open doors faster. Once the escape starts, throw at least eight of the bags onto the level above, towards the corner with the staircase that leads to the surface (4 or 5 o'clock when you spawn). Run to the bags, open the door to the nearby staircase and the door at the top of the staircase, and transport the bags to the escape van.PlayStation-exclusive Trophy[]

Ho Ho Ho |
Eco Round In the GO Bank job, complete the heist without using your primary weapon on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. |
To unlock this achievement during a stealth run will be the most straightforward method as most players will normally use a high-concealment silenced secondary to neutralize patrolling guards and cameras. One should proceed with the heist as usual, without ever switching to their primary to avoid accidental discharges. Switching to a primary is not forbidden, but opening fire with one is.
As this is a solo achievement, the weapon status of other crewmates does not count against progression.
Sewer Rats In the GO Bank job, complete the heist having secured all bags of cash via the sewers on the OVERKILL difficulty or above |
The sewer escape required for the achievement only triggers under certain circumstances, which are: all loot has been loaded stealthily, but the alarm sounds; if the loot cage has been lifted, regardless of if loot is inside; or if the pilot crashes the plane. Since the first disqualifies players (i.e. all loot is required) it is best completed by deploying the balloon as soon as the cage is built, sending it with no bags inside. Note that the cage needs at least one bag in it to be able to raise the balloon, therefore remove the bag immediately after raising the balloon. Although this achievement can be done loud, players may wish to stealth up until the point all of the bags have been removed from the vault, then the alarm needs to be raised (either don't answer the phone when it rings or run through the vault lasers).
After the pickup is made, the correct manhole will be highlighted and players must move bags towards it. Due to the difficult escape conditions, it is highly recommended players move the bags into the sewers before entering; a player entering the manhole cover triggers the escape timer, so players should plan accordingly.
Players should preferably start moving at the very end of an assault to minimize resistance. Depending strongly on the map's spawns, players will have to move all the money bag spawns through a maze of varying length and difficulty, and may have to bypass a cage door. As players only have around three minutes to load the loot and escape, one player should consider running ahead with light armor to locate the escape.
In order to unlock the achievement, all the money loot bags must be secured to the van loot bag drop zone within the escape zone before the escape is initiated, because the bags carried with the players during the escape moment don't count towards this achievement. Special attention should be kept on the proper loot dropping due the very stressful situation when just few seconds are left to finish the heist while the players are dropping the last loot bags.
We Are All Professionals In the GO Bank job, complete the heist without the alarm going off and without killing any civilians on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. |
Acting as more of a chore than a challenge, this achievement requires a much more vigilant stealth approach than usual, and often means sacrificing a large amount of the loot to escape before a hostage calls the police. The achievement is significantly easier when attempted with basic Stockholm Syndrome, aced ECM Specialist, and an OVE9000 saw with the Silent Motor equipped. Taking great care to case the bank for cameras and guards, players must ECM rush the bank with utmost precision, by killing guards, controlling civilians, and breaking cameras without smashing any windows or killing any innocents.
Answering any pagers and tying all civilians, players must swiftly move all hostages to the rear of the bank and out of sight. With the hostages moved and windows unbroken, civilians will only panic once they enter the bank and see it is empty; should they keep spawning and entering, a player with Stockholm Syndrome should routinely terrify any untied civilians. The bank's guards and investigating officers may drop additional cable ties, which can alleviate this or even remove the need for rigorous shouting.
Acquiring the cards and answering the phone, the heist thus continues as usual for stealth. When the GenSec and/or police arrive, they should enter the bank as normal provided no external broken cameras are visible. Regardless, players should take care killing them, doing so with tact and bagging the corpses immediately to prevent civilians seeing. Once the vault is open, boxes should be opened as fast as possible and, once a bag of loot is found, players should dash to the van before the alarm can be raised.
- The teaser achievements are a reference to the nursery rhyme/Christmas carol Christmas is Coming.
- We Are All Professionals is a reference to the film Léon: The Professional, where the main character, Léon, refuses to kill women and children in his line of work. The achievement icon is also a reference, showing Léon's trademark woolen hat and carrying his plant. Also, in Global Offensive, the Terrorist faction in this map is called "Professional".
- Eco Round is a reference to a player term in the Counter Strike series, which GO Bank is based on. When players are low on in-game money, players will call out an "Eco Round" in which the team will resort to using their starting secondary weapons.
- Dead Presents is a pun on "Dead Presidents", as the portraits found on American bank notes are mainly of now-deceased former presidents.
Soundtrack Achievement[]
Reindeer Games Complete a heist while you and your four man crew are wearing one different ”Santa” mask each. |
- Reindeer Games is likely a reference to the 2000 film Reindeer Games.
- Alternatively, it could be a reference to the line "They never let poor Rudolph // join in any reindeer games" from the well-known Christmas carol "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".

Methods for completing the achievement[]
The easiest way to get the achievement is to modify a sniper rifle with a laser sight and play a heist with a zip line on normal difficulty with no companions, be they other players or AI. Several heists have a zip line added if the Vantage Point asset is purchased.
As you do not need to complete a contract for achievement progress to register, if you die during the heist you can simply restart it and carry on until you have the requisite 10 kills. Nonetheless it may be wise to carry a medical bag or ammo bag with you.
Bank Heist[]
This is probably the easiest heist on which to get this achievement (except for the White Xmas Heist)
The vantage point asset gives a zip line from the roof of the bank to the higher roof of a building across the street, and a second zip line in the reverse direction. If you find shooting enemies in the street to be difficult, they will eventually climb up to the two roofs where they will be easier to kill as you approach them.
Note that the zip line from the higher roof to the lower is considerably faster than the opposite direction, and will give little time to make shots.
Rats/Cook Off[]
The Vantage Point asset gives a zip line from the starting point to the roof of the meth house. Several Mendoza hostiles will spawn outside the building.
To return to the ground, you can jump from the roof to the balcony on the opposite side of the zip line and from there either go down the stairs or jump to the adjacent shed roof and from there to the ground. You can also jump from the roof of the house directly to the shed roof on the same side of the building as the zip line, and then from there to the ground.
White Xmas[]
The White Xmas Heist contains many zip lines and lots of enemy will spawn, making it extremely convenient to grind for kills on zip lines in this heist. However, the zip-lines' high speed may require some practice to be accustomed to.
Last Action Villain Perform a headshot kill on enemies using only the R93 sniper rifle while zip lining. Completing this achievement will unlock the Compensated Suppressor for the R93 sniper rifle. |
One of the easiest ways to get the achievement is to modify an R93 with a laser sight and play Rats on normal with no companions, be they other players or AI. Purchase the Vantage Point asset and you'll get a zipline leading up to the roof of the meth house. Several Mendoza hostiles will spawn outside the building. Properly specced, you can jump from the roof to the roof of the shed and then drop down to the ground if you miss on your first ride. As you do not need to complete a contract for achievement progress to register, you can simply restart the mission until you have the achievement.
Another very easy way to get this achievement is to use a laser sight and play Bank Heist. Purchase the Vantage Point asset and use the two-way zipline to move across the street while shooting at enemies below you. Alternatively, wait for an enemy to climb the ladder from the alleyway to the vantage point, and shoot at his head when you approach the vantage point on the zipline. It is easier to use the zipline that goes from the bank roof to the vantage point for this achievement as it travels much slower. If you fail to kill an enemy with the headshot, simply take the other zipline back to the bank roof and try again.
You Can’t Hide Kill 25 enemies shooting through walls or objects using only the R93 sniper rifle. Completing this achievement will unlock the Wooden Body for the R93 sniper rifle. |
One could take advantage of the cars seen in numerous heists, such as in Hoxton Breakout Day 1, as you can generally see through them but they are thin enough that snipers can punch right through them.
Another method for the achievement would be to use the advantage point on Rats day 3, as the railings on the tower count as wall but can be shot through and seen through.
Finally, one could mark special enemies or guards and then run around to the other side of the nearest, thinnest wall/object.

It is also a good idea for one or more members of the crew to use a shotgun, as the many wooden doors throughout the maze that is the apartment building can be unlocked fairly quickly by a shotgun shot aimed in the general direction of the doorknob. Even better would be a shotgun loaded with HE Slugs or a grenade launcher, as they tend to blow apart wooden doors with one shot and require even less aiming.
Overdose Cook and secure six bags of meth on day one of the Hotline Miami job. Unlocks the Graham mask, Ghetto Blaster, Extended Mag and Just Bend It for the Blaster 9mm submachine gun, "Error" material and "Be Somebody" pattern. |
The crates in the basement can contain, among its other contents, meth ingredients. To maximize the amount of ingredients in the crates, there are two crates that need to be opened in a specific order: A flat, square, dark crate between an identical one and a light, rectangular crate on the side of the basement opposite of the scanner, and another flat crate in a corner near the scanner. The former crate needs to be opened before any other crate in the basement, and the latter crate needs to be opened after every other crate in the basement is opened. Doing this should yield at least four sets of meth ingredients.
Note that even the above alone is not enough to guarantee enough meth for the achievement, as if there is only one set of ingredients around the meth lab, the players going for this achievement will have to open the "first open" crate later to try for a 5th meth bag in the basement, which has a small chance of succeeding.
- Sounds of Animals Fighting is a reference to the achievement of the same name in Hotline Miami.
- Walk Faster is a reference to the Brandon mask in Hotline Miami, which allows the wearer to walk faster.
- Strangely, the mask awarded upon completion of the achievement is the Rasmus mask. The Brandon mask is in PAYDAY 2 and is given to all players who also own Hotline Miami on Steam.
- Do You Like Hurting Other People? is the first question asked by Richard to Jacket in Hotline Miami.
- +1 (786) 519-3708 is the number of the phone calls Jacket receives in Hotline Miami. Calling this number in real life will play a prerecorded message recorded by the creators of Hotline Miami and functions as an easter egg. You can listen to the recording here.
- Wrong Number is the subtitle for Hotline Miami 2.
- Overdose is one of the levels in Hotline Miami.

Smoke and Mirrors In the Diamond job, steal the Diamond in under 10 minutes. Unlocks the "Pazuzu" mask, "Diamond" material and "Horus" pattern. |
This achievement is especially difficult as, even on a perfect speed run on Normal, the crew will be pressed for time; as such, it is highly recommended that everyone holds sprinting perks and/or picking bonuses. Additionally, both playing alone or with friends carry their own disadvantages: coordinating means the hacks and loud escape can be summoned immediately, but playing offline allows players to pause and memorize the maze path.
Regardless of approach, security must be disabled quickly, meaning either: sprinting to security whilst breaking alarmed cases to promptly trigger the 200 second hack objective; or swiftly navigating between white doors and floors to find four boxes in stealth. Once the lasers are off or the shutters raised, the crew will be down a few minutes, meaning the time-locks must be started promptly and watched vigilantly; since the locks take a minimum of 120 seconds and have a long interact time, any additional delays can make or break the attempt.
Once inside the Diamond room, players will have just a few minutes to bypass the tile puzzle and, once the Diamond is grabbed, secure it and escape; since alarms do not impact the achievement, players should strongly consider sprinting straight out the door rather than carefully crossing back. Players attempting stealth should consider using the Bag Man asset with the aced ECM Specialist to hurry through the final objectives, and those choosing loud must trigger the chopper immediately lest the 120 second chopper response time ruin the run.
To summarize, the restrictions on timers means that, between spawn and escape, stealth players need only give account for the time locks. However, loud attempts require 200 seconds to hack security, 120/150 seconds for time locks, and then 120 seconds for the chopper, meaning players only have 2 minutes 40 seconds (or 2 minutes 10 seconds on Overkill or Deathwish) to complete all other objectives and the tile puzzle.
Diamonds in the Rough In the Diamond job, complete the heist, diamond puzzle and steal the Diamond after the alarm has been triggered on OVERKILL difficulty or above. Unlocks the "Anubis" mask, "Mummy Bandages" material and "Hawk Helm" pattern. |

The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack[]
Note: None of these achievements require the DLC to complete.
OVE SAW 72000 In the Nightclub job, complete the heist on any difficulty with each crew member using the OVE 9000 saw as primary and secondary weapons. Unlocks the "THRUST Upper Receiver", "THRUST Lower Receiver" and "Long Ergo Foregrip" for the CAR weapon family. |
Hey Mr. DJ In the Nightclub job, have 12 hostages or more on the dance floor when you escape. Unlocks the "Aluminum Grip" for the AK weapon family, the "Aluminum Foregrip" for the Krinkov submachine gun and the "LW Upper Receiver" for the CAR weapon family. Note: Untied hostages will count toward this achievement if they are intimidated. |
$1.8M Speedrun In the Mallcrasher job, loot $1,800,000 in loose cash within 50 seconds of starting the heist on the OVERKILL difficulty. Unlocks the "Scope Mount" and "PBS Suppressor" for the AK weapon family, "Alfred" mask, "Dawn" material and "Dinosaur Skull" pattern. |

OVE SAW 72000 In the Nightclub job, complete the heist on any difficulty with each crew member using the OVE 9000 saw as primary and secondary weapons. Unlocks the "THRUST Upper Receiver", "THRUST Lower Receiver" and "Long Ergo Foregrip" for the CAR weapon family. |
Note that this achievement can be completed by any number of players, as long as all human players are wielding saws as both primary and secondary weapons - it may therefore be best to bring AI henchmen to gun down the mobsters as rapidly as possible if going loud. The difficulty is not restricted, either, so the easiest difficulty can be chosen. Stockholm Syndrome basic combined with one of the saws lacking the Silent Motor will make it a little easier to complete the heist in stealth. To speedrun the heist in loud, one could complete it on Normal, saw open the security door, use Shaped Charges to open the safe and wait in the room for the pickup truck and escape van to arrive. Using melee will be easier to kill normal cops as specials enemies will be more absent on lower difficulties.
Hey Mr. DJ In the Nightclub job, have 12 hostages or more on the dance floor when you escape. Unlocks the "Aluminum Grip" for the AK weapon family, the "Aluminum Foregrip" for the Krinkov submachine gun and the "LW Upper Receiver" for the CAR weapon family. Note: Untied hostages will count toward this achievement if they are intimidated. |
The achievement conditions consider intimidated civilians on the dance floor as hostages, thus it is not necessary to cable tie 12 civilians.
$1.8M Speedrun In the Mallcrasher job, loot $1,800,000 in loose cash within 50 seconds of starting the heist on the OVERKILL difficulty. Unlocks the "Scope Mount" and "PBS Suppressor" for the AK weapon family, "Alfred" mask, "Dawn" material and "Dinosaur Skull" pattern. |
There are enough ATMs in the entrance area and lower shopping floors to complete this objective with saws or ECM jammers. With 2 or 3 teammates on Overkill difficulty(8 ATMs needed) and a bit of coordination, each picking a side and 1 assisting the other, they can easily complete the achievement.
Here Comes the Pain Train In the Firestarter job, complete the heist on OVERKILL difficulty or above, with all days done in loud and with a crew of 4 players using unmodified "AK Rifle" rifles and "PARA" submachine guns. Unlocks the "DMR Kit AK.762" and the "Low Drag Magazine" for the AK weapon family, "Timothy" mask, "Prehistorical" material and "Dinosaur Stripes" pattern. |
Both weapons must be completely unmodified, and the primary weapon has to be specifically the AK Rifle.
In turn, both weapons must be freshly bought, since removing bolt-affecting modifications previously applied to it will not restore the default bolt.
The Turtle Always Wins In the Art Gallery job, complete the heist in stealth within 4 minutes with each crew member wearing the Improved Combined Tactical Vest and no Armor Kit deployable equipped. Unlocks the "Classic Stock" for the AK weapon family, "2 Piece Stock" for the AK and CAR weapon families, "Pachy" mask, "Fossil" material and "Prehistoric Predator" pattern. |
Note that 4 minutes is roughly the length of a four-player ECM chain. From level 68 onwards it is possible to build for the ICTV and all the ECM jamming upgrades.
Private Party In the Jewelry store job, don't let the cops enter the jewelry store until the van comes back on OVERKILL difficulty or above. Unlocks the "DMR Kit AMR-16" and the "L5 Magazine" for the CAR weapon family, "Vincent" mask, "Feathers" material and "Dinosaur Scars" pattern. |
This can be done numerous ways, but the least obvious method is to take the vantage point asset and snipe from across the street. The police AI will not send them into the building if there are no players or hostages inside and the front windows remain intact.
As Twitch doesn't leave prior to going loud, Private Party can only be completed in open combat.
This method is best done with 4 players. To keep the cops out of the Jewelry Store is to have 1 player at the back defending one of the offices. Another at the right office and two at the front covering the entrance. It may be beneficial to have two Technicians with Sentry Guns and Trip Mines, these can be used to cover the back windows and help the other duo at the front. One of the players at the front should have Inspire Aced and the other player at the front be an Enforcer for maximum damage output. The randomly spawned container in the alley alley may benefit the crew in their attempt as the left-handed windows and office are completely blocked, meaning there will be one less entry/exit point to cover.
Note that the police will not enter via the sides if the windows are intact and closed. Cloakers spawning inside the store via overhead vents will not void this achievement, though they may complicate the situation if the crew is caught off-guard.
It is possible to solo this achievement holding the outside front of the store with a pair of sentries. Do not open or break any windows, and stay out front with the sentries.
It is possible to solo this achievement from the vantage point. Sentries can be used to take out police units over the edges, letting you focus on keeping the front door clear. Do not bring AI henchmen as they will run into the store and draw in the police; they may also break windows. Shoot the first responders; frequently shoot further responders to hold their attention, and pay particular attention to any police straying towards the front of the store. Be careful not to shoot out the store front windows. The police will not break the windows, so the front door is their only entrance, and it's easy to cover from the vantage point. (Video)
Hold out until the van comes back; the heist doesn't need to be completed to get the achievement, and like the other achievements it can be done without DLC ownership.Infamy 2.0[]

They Don't Pay Us Enough In the Meltdown job, secure all additional loot. Unlocks the "Rad Mutant" mask. |
They Don't Pay Us Enough In the Meltdown job, complete the heist with all additional loot secured. Unlocks the "Rad Mutant" mask. |
Attempting this on a lower difficulty is recommended due to the time-consuming nature of hunting all the loot and the extra crowbar spawns. Crews should attempt a co-ordinated and rigorous sweep of the entire map, with the priority on seeking crowbars and opening all the containers and warehouse cages. Care should be taken to ensure that bags aren't taken back by the cops - the best options are either to load them into a vehicle or to place them in the alleyway towards the escape, as cops will not leave the yard to collect them.
Multiple trips will be necessary in order to bring all the bags to the escape, the crew will have to decide how to proceed but clearly the Longfellow is the easiest vehicle to take on multiple trips. Choosing to eliminate the SWAT vans may be a wise move.

First and foremost, attempting this on a lower difficulty is highly recommended, as the high concentration of enemies and snipers combined with having to move very heavy bags can make this difficult even on Normal. Further, players should equip themselves to deal with SWAT van turrets as it may be necessary to eliminate one or more along the way.
The heist can be completed as usual aside from avoiding the Longfellow, with players even using the forklifts as desired. Upon reaching the gate, there are two ways to progress: on foot, or by forklift. Players proceeding on foot have the comfort of moving as a unit and use of all four guns, along with freedom to place health and ammo bags. On the other hand, multiple forklifts can speed up the process significantly, leaving the drivers exposed but able to carry three loot bags on the forks and any other players on the back. A well co-ordinated team may even be able to drive the forklifts in reverse, allowing the passenger on the back to fire forwards.
Regardless of approach, players should take care moving along the paths, making sure to avoid the SWAT van if possible or simply eliminate it with high power weaponry. After finally reaching the train, players can end the heist as usual.The Alesso Heist[]

Sound of Silence Complete The Alesso Heist without killing anyone. Unlocks the "Boombox" mask, "Enlightenment" material and "Alesso Logo" pattern. |
When attempting this achievement no enemy or civilian may be allowed to die by any means, however dominating an enemy is allowed. It is suggested to disable the AI team-mates, because their kills also count. If players are detected during the casing escape, it may be possible to survive long enough for the van escape to arrive without killing anyone.
Even Steven In The Alesso Heist job, get your seven bucks back. Unlocks the "Cantus" mask, "Bionic" material and "Circle Raster" pattern. Note: This achievement refers to the parking meter in the basement. |
In order to complete this achievement, players must use a single C4 charge (not shaped charge) to detonate the parking meter in the garage. Contrary to the description, it is actually a ticket dispenser rather than a ticket machine, which is bright orange and located next to the garage door underneath the vaults; the model is identical to the orange ticket machines found in Hoxton Breakout. The C4 charge can only be placed on the ticket dispenser after the alarm is raised, and only on Normal or Overkill difficulties, as those are the only difficulties which leave players with an extra C4 to use.
Fuck It, We're Walking In The Alesso Heist job, complete the heist in loud without using the zip-line or bag chutes on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. Unlocks the "Female Concert Goer" mask, "Stained Glass" material and "Soundwave" pattern. |
There are a number of viable strategies for this achievement:
- Run most of the heist in stealth, bringing the bags as far upstairs as possible, then raise the alarm by killing a fifth guard and load the bags and escape as quickly as possible.
- If going loud, either :
- bag the loot and then retreat from the basement - the cops will tend to move lootbags to the middle of the main stairs;
- throw the bags from the central tables and catch them from the balcony above;
- or, have a player jump down on to the pink awning over the t-shirt kiosk, then throw bags up to them then up on to the balcony.
M.F. Stev In The Alesso Heist job, complete the pyro sequences without failing even once. Unlocks the "Male Concert Goer" mask, "Dim Blue" material and "Smoke" pattern. |
Unlike most achievements, the difficulty in mastering the pyrotechnics show lies in the lack of explanation. Despite being instructed by the intercom to hit the buttons as soon as you're told, players must wait for around a second after the order for Bain to confirm which specific button(s) must be pressed but players cannot wait too long.
On higher difficulties Bain will tell players to press two buttons, although the order is not important.
Note that on loud, when parts of the pyro rig can break and need repairing, be sure to complete those actions before pressing the pyro buttons.
- We Built This City on Electric Progressive House Music is a reference to the song We Built This City (on Rock & Roll) by Starship. Electric progressive house music is the genre of music Alesso produces.
- The Sound of Silence is a reference to the song of the same name by the American music duo Simon & Garfunkel.
- Even Steven is a reference to a segment by Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell in Comedy Central's The Daily Show called Even Stevphen.

400 Bucks I may be homeless, but at least I have a sick knife. Tie or kill a specific homeless civilian in Aftershock and take his knife. |
The knife will always be on a hobo that wears a blue hood. The civilian will always run to escape the map, meaning players will have to be quick to tie him down or shoot him.
Bunnyhopping Jump 100 times within 30 seconds. Unlocks the No Me Gusta mask. |
The achievement can easily be obtained by simply mashing the jump button while standing in a doorway.
I Never Asked For This Don't jump a single time during an entire heist. Unlocks the Rageface mask. |
This can be accomplished on most maps even in solo, meaning earning this achievement is a simple matter of avoiding jump-requiring shortcuts or ignoring muscle memory if nothing else. Also note that falling off of elevated surfaces does not invalidate the achievement.
Currently, the only map that absolutely requires at least one jump to complete thus impossible to obtain the achievement on is Undercover, where players have to jump to escape to the helicopter.
Jump! Jump! Jump! Finish a heist without it ever going more than 4 seconds between you jumping. Unlocks the Dawg mask. |
The only heists that do not require interactions equal to or longer than 4 seconds are Mallcrasher, Santa's Workshop, White Xmas, and Jewelry Store on lower difficulties, meaning one can feasibly solo these heists and get the achievement, the former two provided that the player mask up and jump immediately.
Obviously, entering bleedout would void the achievement unless revived with Inspire aced almost immediately.
- 400 Bucks is a reference to one of the level designers who spent $400 USD on a knife in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
- Original Heisters is the first achievement to require the specific usage of certain characters, in this case the four original crew members (Dallas, Chains, Wolf, Hoxton) from the first game.
- The OVERDRILL achievement's description references how most heist-related achievements in PAYDAY: The Heist would state "To complete this challenge, you have to have played the heist from the start." at the end of the achievement description, for the challenge would not be considered completed if one joined a game mid-progress, and the achievement would not be awarded.
- The assembled title of PAYDAY 2 First World Bank's teaser achievements forms a part of one of the Bank Manager's most memorable quotes from the original heist ("...he was messing around in the server room...").
- But How? is an achievement from the first game.
- I Never Asked For This is a likely reference to Deus Ex: Human Revolution where it is a memorable quote from the game's protagonist Adam Jensen when asked for his opinions on the transhuman augmentations he received.

Ghost Run Complete the Murky Station job within 7 minutes of starting it. Unlocks the "Cloaker-san" mask, "Rusty" material and "Rebel" pattern. |
This achievement is very simple to complete, especially in multiplayer, as merely all that is required is for both bomb parts to be found and secured on any difficulty and then escape.
The Pacifist Complete the Murky Station job without anyone in the crew killing anyone. Unlocks the "Augmentation" mask, "Spaceship" material and "Squares" pattern. |
This is also simple, and in fact can be done alongside Ghost Run easily. The achievement only requires the crew to not get caught. If a guard has detected a player out in the open and both EMP parts have been found, at that point the players can ECM rush the remainder of the heist, provided their ECMs have enough upgrades.
If one desires, one can dominate the entire basement (obviously out of sight of cameras on the Death Wish difficulty) to facilitate moving bags.
These same tactics can also be applied to the Looting in the Dark achievement, with the obvious difference of having to secure all of the loot in the heist.
No Witnesses Complete the Murky Station job by killing all guards and not using any ECM jammers on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. |
This achievement is trickier, but still very doable. Note the following instructions work only on Overkill.
There are 7 guards on the surface, and 3 guards in the basement. Shoot all of the cameras in the basement, then kill all of the guards in the basement. Then go up to the surface and find and secure the EMP bomb parts. How the heist is finished depends on the size of the player crew and where the escape vehicle is:
- Van: In multiplayer, the crew will start from the docks side of the map and shoot through the trainyard to the van. In singleplayer, the player will have to snipe the remaining guards from the bridge overlooking the trainyard. The Lebensauger .308 is recommended not only because of its fire rate, but also because it's easy to conceal.
- Boat: In multiplayer, the crew will start from the side of the trainyard closest to the starting point and shoot through the trainyard. If playing in singleplayer, the player will be forced to restart because it's virtually impossible to kill all of the guards single-handedly and reach the escape zone before the escape timer runs out.
This achievement can also be done on the Death Wish difficulty, but obviously more difficult due to the presence of Titan cameras. It also only can be done if the escape vehicle is the van.
The crew will play out the heist normally up until the EMP parts are secured in the van. At that point, one or two players will go to the opposite end of the map, one player will go down to the basement, and, while not required but highly recommended, one player will snipe from the bridge. Once the drones turn on and return to a resting position (so the alarm doesn't go off earlier than desired), the crew member(s) near the docks will kick off the killing spree, running beneath the bridge to the escape point, the crew member on the bridge will snipe the guards the previous player(s) couldn't reach, and the last player will shoot up the basement. It's almost required that the players not on the bridge have speed-boosting skills and Perk Decks.
- The teaser achievements "Knowing When To Leave Requires Training" is a quote from Jane Prowse.
- The teaser achievements "Coming In Like A Wrecking Ball" is a reference to the Miley Cyrus song Wrecking Ball.
- When in Russia... Do as the Russians Do is a play on the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do".
Hotfix 97.4[]
Saint Francis Complete the Bank Heist job after finding the 2 punks in the parking lot and bringing them next to the van, without letting them get away or die on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. Can also be done on Firestarter Day 3. |
High Times In The Bomb: Dockyard job, cook 2 bags of meth and secure them. |
Looting in the Dark Complete the Murky Station job by finding and securing all loot without killing anyone on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. |
Mellon In the Birth of Sky job, find all 9 rings. |
Kiss the Chef In the Cook Off job, cook 25 bags of meth on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. |
Mellon In the Birth of Sky job, find all 9 rings. |
- Saint Francis is apparently a mission given by John Wick, with most of Bain's lines regarding the achievement referencing John Wick. Wick, from Bain's lines, wants the two punks required for the achievement to be brought to the Safe House so he can torture them, on the grounds of them having abused a dog, evidenced by the achievement icon and its Side Job description.
- If the punks are killed mid-heist, Bain will say that Wick will be disappointed that he couldn't take care of them himself, bizarrely even if John Wick is the one who killed them.
- Even though it's heavily implied that John Wick will torture and kill them after the heist and most if not all of the player characters and Bain show disgust for them, killing the two at the bank will impose the usual cleaner penalty.
- High Times is a magazine devoted to the publication of cannabis. It's also a pun on "high tides".
- Mellon is a reference to The Lord of the Rings, the rings based on the Rings of Power. Without the Cleaner skill aced, they're worth $1,954, the year The Lord of the Rings came out, and having to acquire 9 rings is a reference to how 9 of the Rings of Power were intended for man. On the rings are Elvish inscriptions reading "One gang to rule them all in the hunt for riches and glory," referencing the inscription on the One Ring, "One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." Additionally, "mellon" is the Elvish word for "friend", and the ring assets in the files are named "material_onering".

Scavenger In the first day of The Biker Heist job, find the secret item. Unlocks the "Flaming Skull" mask, "Shiny and Chrome" material and "Fire Tire" pattern. |
The "secret item" is a comically oversized bottle. It spawns in one of four locations: In the vantage point, the bar, the roof's supporting structure above the bar area, and in the bunker. Due to a possible spawn location being in the vantage point, players that want this achievement will require owning the Gage Sniper Pack DLC or have a friend that owns it, and since it can spawn in the bunker, which can not be opened unless the bike seat is required for the bike, multiple tries may be required to get it.
Let the Man Work In the first day of The Biker Heist job, let Mike the mechanic finish the bike without any interruptions on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. Unlocks the "The Classic" mask, "Hotrod" material and "Engine" pattern. |
The easiest way to accomplish this is to simply set a sentry gun on each side of the mechanic and replace them when they run out of ammo. To counter Maximum Force Responders and Shields, acing the Engineering skill and setting them to AP Rounds mode is recommended.
Full Throttle Complete the second day of The Biker Heist job within 120 seconds on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. Unlocks the "Speed Devil" mask, "Devil Eye" material and "Skull Wing" pattern. |
A crew of at least 2 human players is recommended, to get past welding objectives faster and to help up other crew members quickly. It is almost required for at least one of the crew to have Inspire aced to not only speed up the run to the front of the train, but also to swiftly help up downed crew members. Acing Close By/Lock N' Load is a good idea to deal with nuisance enemies while still keeping up the fast pace. Wearing armor heavier than the Heavy Ballistic Vest is strongly recommended against.
The enemies that spawn can mostly be avoided, unless they are directly in the path towards a door. Snipers and turrets only pose significant threat when a crew member is downed or the crew needs to weld open a door, and can otherwise be ignored.
The Biker Boss at the front end of the train can only take up to 800 damage per shot, making the Thanatos .50 cal and HRL-7 extremely ineffective at killing her. The best way to deal with her quickly is to pair a high damage-per-second weapon with aced Swan Song, for example the Akimbo Krinkov.
- The teaser achievements are a reference to a quote by Evel Knievel.
- The Scavenger achievement icon was changed close to release, the heist's announcement site shows that its icon used to be of the mask it unlocked.

Celsius or Fahrenheit? Kill 10 enemies in a row, without missing, while switching between the regular sight and the 45 Degree Red Dot Sight after each kill on the OVERKILL difficulty or above. |
Completing the achievement requires the player to switch back and forth between the 45-degree sight and the regular aiming mode between each kill. As it does not have an additional time limit, this achievement can be taken slowly and carefully so that one does not miss. A few Concussion Grenades can help.
If all else fails, try dominating an enemy and kill him when he's trying to surrender, then flip to the other sight mode. Rinse and repeat 9 more times to unlock the achievement.
The Reconing Complete any heist from start to end and kill 200 or more enemies with any weapon equipped with the Reconnaissance Sight on the Very Hard difficulty or above. |
Due to their practically endless nature, the White Xmas and Cook Off heists are the prime candidates for unlocking this achievement as enemies will spawn non-stop until the player(s) exit the map.
The Reconnaissance Sight itself does not need to be actually aimed through for the kills to register.

Enter the Gungeon[]
The Only One That Is True In the Bank Heist or the Jewelry Store Jobs, find and pick up the five hidden Bullet Trophies. Unlocks “The Bullet” mask. |
The One That Had Many Names In the Shadow Raid or the First World Bank Jobs, find and pick up the five hidden Robot Trophies. Unlocks "The Robot” mask. |

The One Who Declared Himself the Hero In the Hoxton Breakout Day 1 Heist or the Diamond Store Job, find and pick up the five hidden Cultist Trophies. Unlocks “The Cultist” mask. |
The trophies only spawn once per heist, necessitating playing them multiple times to unlock their achievements. However, they are counted towards the achievements immediately, so the players can simply find the heist's trophy, restart, and repeat.
The trophies spawn in several different locations, marked in this guide. Notably, one of the Bullet Trophy spawns in Jewelry Store is on the vantage point, so unless the player(s) owns the Gage Sniper Pack and purchases the vantage point asset every time, more than 5 restarts may be necessary for the achievement.Locke and Load[]

Stalker In the Breakin' Feds job, have Commissioner Garret marked at all time after he left his office, until you have opened his safe. |
The easier, and likely intended, approach is to have 1 or 2 players constantly marking Garrett either manually or with Sixth Sense while the safe is handled by the other player(s). If Garrett walks back inside the office before the safe is opened, safe locations to keep him marked with Sixth Sense are behind the printer in the kitchen (on the left side of the building) and behind the desk at the cubicle just outside his office (on the right side of the building).
A single-player alternative is to ace More Firepower and place sensors in the locations where he will stand after he leaves his office, outside his door, and in the paths he walks, though this obviously requires extensive knowledge of the paths he takes, and also leaving a few trip mines to mark him in his office in case the safe isn't opened on the first attempt.
Regardless of the approach taken, all players involved acing High Value Target can help greatly with getting the achievement.
Note that if Garrett is lured out a fourth time with the food (either due to difficulty in acquiring/inputting the code or trying to get the A Moment of Silence achievement), the code to the safe will have to be punched in almost immediately, as Garrett despawns shortly after entering the restroom, and thus cannot be marked.
Staple Relationship In the Breakin' Feds job, find, rescue and return the stapler to the small office. |
A red stapler has to be found and returned to the cluttered office near where Garrett's office can spawn in the left side of the building. The stapler counts as equipment, and can only be placed by, and the achievement awarded to, the player that picked up the stapler.
The stapler spawns in one of 14 locations, which are noted in this guide.
- The teasers are text taken from the Wikipedia article on burglary.
- A Moment of Silence refers to the contemplation in which individuals hold a silent moment, as a gesture of respect for someone's recent passing.

There is a button near the main terminal that will close once the terminal is hacked. Press it before hacking the terminal, and two SWAT Turrets (3 on Mayhem+) will spawn and tear gas will be pumped into the room. Once dealt with, play the heist as normal, and the achievement should be unlocked upon escaping.
- The teasers are taken from the Wikipedia article on trespass.
- Kicked a Tumbleweed may be a reference to the 10,000 Maniacs song The Painted Desert, which contains the verse "He kicked a tumbleweed and his mother called him home where the Arizona moon met the Arizona sun."
- Not in Kansas Anymore is a quote from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.

In one of the auction rooms in the heist, there is a display case containing Lindenhurst's mummified corpse. Either open it with the glass cutter or by smashing it open, then interact with the corpse to obtain the achievement.
Heavy Metal In the Shacklethorne heist, use the metal detectors to find a civilian that is carring(sic) something heavy. Unlocks the Monkey Wrench weapon. |
There is a blue-outfitted civilian in the storage area that must be tied down and escorted to go through the metal detectors at the estate entrance. The metal detectors must be on, meaning they haven't been disabled manually and the alarm hasn't gone off. The metal detectors can be maneuvered around by jumping on and off the tables next to them.
The amount of cameras in the estate require either killing the camera operator or liberal usage of ECM Jammers/Pocket ECMs.
It is recommended to attempt this on the Normal difficulty, as there will only be the camera operator, the guards patrolling the upper floor, the guard watching the metal detectors, one guard patrolling the ground floor (who can be easily avoided), and one guard looking out into the courtyard (who will likely not notice the civilian).
- The teasers describe the physical properties of ice.
- Even Death May Die is an excerpt of the quote "That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die." from the Necronomicon.
- Press [F] to Pay Respects is a reference to the now-memetic action prompt in the 2014 video game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, in which the player character (and by extension the player) is forced to perform such action at a funeral in order to proceed.

- Some players have reported it only being possible to unlock this achievement by restoring power within 5 seconds of it being cut the first time. Missing this window may render the achievement void even if power is restored on time on subsequent cuts.
- Due to desync, it is preferable that the host be the one to turn the power back on.

- Big Brother is the synonym for abuse of government power, particularly in respect to civil liberties, often specifically related to mass surveillance.
- The term itself originated from George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, where Big Brother is the supreme figurehead of Oceania, a totalitarian state wherein the ruling party Ingsoc wields total power "for its own sake" over the inhabitants, giving rise to the phrase "Big Brother is watching you". Generally, the idea conveys a line of propaganda, meaning citizens have to follow what a dictatorial government wants them to do, and if they do not, Big Brother will know, as it spies on them all the time.

No future was there in Chicago for a mobster man like me |
So I left the wind and went to seek my fortune in DC |
I signed up with a man his name was Bain you see |
Six minutes into the heist we ran into the MPD |
We escaped with our van and tried to make a run |
Ahead we saw the blue lights and our running now was done |
Bright green eyes came charging us with batons in their hands |
A swift kick to the face and you'll follow their commands |
Sure, I tried to dodge away but I wasn't that lucky |
It's all just fun and games until you end up in custody |
Time flies when you take the loot, my crew time flies when you take the loot |
Yeah, It's all just fun and games, my crew until you get the boot |
