Mainly because I would like to yell SMOKE BOMB!! the basic idea is you would get 1 smoke bomb per heist and if a guard sees you, 100%, quickly pop a smoke bomb while crouched to lower the meter, lets say it resets to 10%? discuss, would this be op or just a fun mechanic?

edit, people. if all you have to post is "guards gunna call cops when sees smoke herp a derp" then dont comment and let this die ok?dont keep bumping it to the top... BUT if you can get past the fact that payday 2 has messed up logic aka guard sees a gym bag and calls the cops then post your comment. theres like 9 posts that all say the same point. this isnt real life.

If you were a guard, and you suddenly saw a smoke bomb, wouldnt you instantly raise an alarm because thats just a bit more than suspicious? Smoke bombs dont randomly appear out of nowhere.

Umm... wouldn't a smoke grenade make it MORE obvious that you are there?

I know I would. Unless I work in a sauna, smoke of any kind shouldn't just appear.

lol people people, its just a classic ninja type smoke bomb lol but yes it would be obvious, but funny

Yeah but you can also place explosives on walls near guards, shine lights in their eyes, and stand 30 feet away from them in plain sight with a rocket launcher and they wouldn't suspect anything

Wouldn't a smoke bomb trip the smoke detectors that buildings are required to have?

I don't know, I've never seen those swat actually throw the smoke grenades

maybe the guards would just think the security office left the smoke nade dispenser on ;)

For stealth - no. For loud that would make much more sense as well as the other grenade types.

[Mickey Havoc]

guess no one has a funny bone :/ i mean my main thought was to give stealth somthing op/silly i mean we have a mini gun and rpg as heisters robbing banks for loud, why not add a little bit of flash to stealthing? add a bit if cheese

[jeffy]

if someone saw smoke...................

theyd raise the fire alarm.............

which would brings cops anyway..............

[_*Para-M3d1kus*_]

Its a good idea. Why not. Would be a good substitute to suffering normal grenades on a stealth heist.

Appear and disappear, like a heist ninja.

[Tobschinski]

No, stealthing is way too easy. Add something to make it harder, not even easier.

I can understand having humor in Payday 2, lord knows OVERKILL likes to poke funny moments in the game with the characters, Commissar in Hotline Miami's heist etc. But they wouldn't add something if it made little to no sense. I understand that ninja's use smoke bombs to escape being detected, but really think about it. What do the guards do after the smoke bomb has cleared and they don't see the ninja anymore? They alert everyone that there's an intruder in the facility. They wouldn't just idealy forget about it and go back to their normal duties.

I like a good laugh, but I also like a game to make a little sense. Yeah sure stealthing with a minigun seems weird and crazy, but it's dueable, speically with the mods that makes it less revealing, so some sense is present.

Now what I would like to see in stealth is tranquilizers, putting people to sleep like civis to avoid Cleaner Cost, but they wake up after a few moments have past. You can move their unconscious bodies in a room so that no one can see them, but they get up, dazzed as of what just happened and get back to patrolling, or possibly look around the place incase nothing else weird happens, like-- SMOKE BOMB!!!

Tell that to the money I stealthily burnt in Firestarter.
