Gold & Sharke "Elevator Trick"?

[Obama bin Laden]

I was loading up a Solo/Steatlh Game in Gold & Sharke. When i finally got in a pregame Lobby, it gave me the Option to equip the "Elevator Trick" (I think it was called) as a preperation.

Wich opend the Elevator Doors in the Vault area where, i was able to drop my Bags down jump down open the hatch and from there to get in to the garage.

It nerver showed up ever since and i didnt find anything like that in any guide.
Did anybody else ever get that option as well?

So maybe my we will get Propper preplanning in the future. i hope.
(Sorry for Bad English)

Been wondering the same thing. I never got the Elevator favor.
I also noticed that heist specific favors never showed up again after the first completion.

I wanted to ask this afternoon in the Q&A stream by the devs but they never answered me.

My question was if there is a cooldown for heist specific favors or if they are behind a paywall at a later point.

every heist has at least one rare "heist specific" favour and nobody knows how or why they appear. gold & sharke also has a second one that puts all the employees into one little room.

You have more of these "special" preperations. I don't know how to exactly get this. But after clearing a Heist loud sometimes in this heist a special preperation has added.
At the jeweler you can get one where the manager is in the kitchen. really handy if you want it to do sneaky cause you don't need to get to the front.

i guess for the purposes of pooling as much knowledge as possible, here's what i DO know:
- there is no alert or message telling you you have received a special favor
- there is no penalty for NOT using the favor (ie you can save it for another time)
- you can bank multiple copies of the favor (i have 3 extra keycards on Cradle right now, for instance)
- the rumor that you get it as a reward for completing the heist is NOT true (i had the road rage chute favour on my first ever play of that map already)

I've had two available at one time in gold & sharke, but I was solo so I could only pick one. Still not sure what triggers them.

I think it'd be cool if they were acquired by doing the option missions in hiests, since right now those are kind of useless.

i still think it's as a reward for doing optional objectives like the wixia files or securing all loot but idunno. i mean.. what else would the wixia files be for?

i've heard that rumor before but i didn't mention it because unlike the "you get the favor for doing the heist" rumor i don't know if it's true or false. it makes sense to me, however, as otherwise there doesnt appear to be any benefit whatsoever for doing the wixia file objective on NR4TW

the main reason im thinking that is because i swear before the launch of payday 3 when they were slowly revealing things about the game, one of the streamers who talked to the devs said something along the lines of "you unlock favors for doing special tasks in heists" so that got me thinking. mightve just been miscommunication tho

You can also get the manager to show up at the office, for that you need to obtain the files in the basement in that safe. The Contractor will then call her on the phone in the office and she will get there.
Figured that out after couple replays.

This is what I assumed, but I can't seem to notice anything incrementing off those documents. Would suggest it's something related to 99 boxes but no luck. In the beta, I assumed it would be how we unlocked heists, but that's also not it. So I really don't know wtf the documents are for.

I think its bugged in solo play. I had the favor selected but it never went into effect.
