This article is about the PAYDAY: The Heist Overkill 145+ difficulty. For other difficulties in the PAYDAY series, see Risk Level.

Overkill 145+ is the highest difficulty in PAYDAY: The Heist, surpassing the previous top difficulty (Overkill). It was introduced in Patch 6, and was made available on all heists to players who reach reputation level 145 (along with the Presidential masks).

Modifiers[]

Gameplay

  • Increased assault wave duration.
  • Decreased downtime between assaults.
  • Hostage Rescue Team units do not spawn during assault breaks.
  • Enemies have had their health multiplier set to 2.0x, and their headshot multiplier set to 1.55x. On the PlayStation 3 version, the health multiplier is 1.75x and the headshot multiplier is 1.5x.
  • Players have 0.15s grace period (an 'invincibility period' where you cannot get hurt until the timer is over), greatly increasing the effectiveness of enemies using automatic weapons.
  • 5% walk speed and 15% run speed increases for all enemies.
  • The penalty for being downed is significantly higher; instead of recovering 75%, 50% and 25% of their total health from the first, second, and third downs respectively (without healing), the player will always recover only 20% on revival.
  • If not under the effects of the More Blood to Bleed crew bonus, then a crewmate who goes down for a third time (without healing) will be in custody if they are not being helped up within just one second. If under the effects of the crew bonus, then this will occur on the fourth down.

Heist Changes

  • First World Bank
    • There is a much higher chance that Law Enforcers will spawn from the vents in the Vault Hallway without having to break every camera that are beyond the gates in the Drill Area.
    • Four Bulldozers are in the vault once players get in.
    • Three Tasers and 1 Heavy SWAT spawn on the stairs on the way down to the basement during the escape.
  • Heat Street
    • Four Bulldozers drop in from the helicopter on the hill on Armitage Ave.
    • The Snipers will always spawn when escorting Matt out of Inkwell Industrial back to Jake's Parking.
    • There are 3 chances for 3 different groups of scripted Shield spawns:
  1. A chance of 4 Shields guarding the entrances to Jake's Parking.
  2. Another chance for 2 Shields + 2 Tasers at the top of the first set of stairs in the Back Alley leading to Armitage Ave.
  3. And one final chance for 4 Shields at the top of the hill on Armitage Ave near the riot fences. Seemingly unintentional, this group of 4 Shields can also spawn on Overkill.
  • Panic Room
    • The room 145 is accessible; see "Are there more than two?" for details.
    • 12 Heavy SWAT units, all using shotguns will spawn in the back alley.
  • Green Bridge
    • Bulldozers on the second tower, will probably use zip lines to reach the primary tower and surprise the players on top of it.
    • There is a chance for 6 Shields, 4 of them guard the right side of the boat, while the other 2 hide on the left side, catching people who avoided the other 4 shields.
    • A chance for 2 Shields that guard the stairs leading to the escape.
  • Diamond Heist
    • Increased Security Guard count from 12 to 20.
    • The codes never work.
  • Slaughterhouse
    • There is a chance that a SWAT Van will come in at the beginning of Slaughterhouse after the armored transport truck is tackled, this "counter-ambush" contains ten Murkywater units.
    • A chance of 4 Bulldozers being stationed just after the container with the trap in it.

Unique achievements[]

For each heist, there is a corresponding achievement for successfully completing the entire heist on Overkill 145+ difficulty. Each achievement comes with a large monetary reward. If all six of the 145+ achievements for the original six heists (First World Bank to Slaughterhouse) are completed, then the player will also unlock the "You are GOLDEN!" achievement, which also comes with a large monetary reward in addition to the Golden masks.

Trivia[]

  • Overkill 145+ might be the equivalent of the Mayhem difficulty in PAYDAY 2, not by its difficulty (that'd be Death Sentence), but by heists and gameplay in Mayhem and above having unique modifiers, such as in stealth's increased guard count, the TITAN Security Corporation making more appearances, decreased i-frames, new units, and so on.
  • The Overkill 145+ difficulty is referenced in the code of PAYDAY 2, with the internal name of the difficulty Death Wish (the second hardest difficulty) being overkill_290.
