THE SHADOW RAID HEIST IS *OUT NOW*!

Yet *another* FREE heist will be up for grabs on Crime.net soon with Gage contracting you for the first time for some dirty wet work of his own!

Q: What's the job?
A: Gage has tipped off Bain to locate a GenSec warehouse under security detail by our old friends back at Murkywater PMC and Gage wants you to swoop in there under the cover of darkness and snag whatever you can find.

Rumors say that warehouse holds much contraband and illegally procured items of much value and interest to many... underground parties.... with a highly guarded sacred relic in the midst of all the delicious side dishes of other loot.

"Confiscated" high quality narcotics, off-the-grid military grade weapons, "imported" cash bundles from rogue states, "misplaced" Gold bars, "sensitive" military secrets, a sample of Almir's beard strands and "procured" local works of art from overseas are just some the examples of the appetizers you'll swipe from under the watchful eye of Murkywater troops as you attempt to go for the legendary treasure located in the most locked down area of the compound.

Q: What's the catch?
A: For starters, the entire compound will be patrolled and protected by Murkywater's most elite troops and veteran contractors from various overseas... "business ventures". They employ a "riddle with bullets first, paperwork later" policy and their standard issue military-grade assault weapons and armor isn't for show nor do their troops uphold any values in "law enforcement". Expect them to tussle back worse than a hungry shark.

Furthermore, Gage wants and *demands* absolute discretion for this job. NO. ALARMS. If Murkywater finds any evidence of a break in, Bain will give you and your crew only 60 SECONDS to get out before he leaves you behind to be... fed to the sharks. You can no longer stay to secure *any* remaining loot from the compound and *MUST* leave or you will *FAIL* the heist with no combat operations possible besides a mad dash to the exit as you shoot and weave thru patrols of Murkywater operators.

The only flaw they have going for your guys is that they are stuck using GenSec's technology for the technical side of their security. You might be able to exploit a few loopholes here and there considering your familiarity with how... "advanced" their systems are...

Q: What else is in store?
A: This lucrative contract from Gage has attracted a lot of attention and buzz around Crime.net and plenty of new bloods and and wannabe cat burglars want in on the action too.

What we're saying is, PAYDAY 2 is going FREE TO PLAY *this* weekend and the game will enjoy being discounted at 67% of the normal asking price! (Deal *HAS* been applied to DLC Packs as well!)

Q: When's it going to go down?
A: This Thursday on the 29th of May. Bring your suits~

EDIT:
MURKIES ARE BACK!

[Taberone]

Murkywater is back + Stealth only heist. Thoughts on it?

As much as I like Murkywater and stealth......

How well will you guys take the new heist? Honest opinions. The new heist seems awesome and might give me a reason to reinstall.

http://www.overkillsoftware.com/shadowraid/ and it's free!

[DJ]

Thx Azure_Kyte, it sounds fun.

[Wolfx10]

Stealth only heist!

Been waiting for this for a loooong time :)

[Emily Howard]

An Anti-Watchdogs heist. Sounds interesting.

[The Crime Skeleton]

Good old Murkywater, I'm sure they've been looking forward to some payback for what happened in Slaughterhouse.

As for the new heist, we now have a new challenge on the different end to the spectrum. For loud it's usually cooking on Rats or surviving on day 1 watchdogs, now the ultimate stealthing challenge with Shadow Raid. I look forward to it at the very least and maybe this is the beginning for a few more Gage contracts.

[Skcarkden]

omfg.... Dallas has fireball powers now? sweet!

[[弾幕の伝説]Mobius]

They gonna make us pay for Slaughterhouse.

[INTERPLANETARYNINJAASSASSIN]

Stealth only huh? Well as long as it isn't Framing Frame level of impossible i suppose that could be fun. Kinda wanted to fight the murkywaters though, for old times sake.

[RhiaRhiRhi]

I'm looking forward to this, very much.

Not sure what's with the Kawarimi achievement though. Seems like a Naruto reference of some description. You may need to switch an item for another in order to fool guards.
