Can't see the story mode?

[goodbyedoggy]

See I'm a bit of a payday vet now, I've looked into the story, I've almost gotten the ending, but I want to replay the heists in order. Weirdly though I can't even see the story mode, it should be on the side bar but its just not there, I even replayed the tutorial heists, even cleared my safehouse raid and its just, not there. My sidebar goes
TUTORIAL HEISTS
QUICKPLAY
SAFEHOUSE
CONTRACT BROKER
SIDE JOBS
GAGE
OFFSHORE PAYDAY
CONTRACT DATABASE
MUTATORS
HOLDOUT
CRIMESPREE
and no story mode to be seen, any help?

Could you post a screenshot?

It's in the main menu and it's called career

There is no real story mode anymore its career mode and it doesnt even follow the story line

As Tomas said, 'Story Mode' is no longer found on Crime.Net - it's called 'Career' now, and it's located on the Main Menu.

ah yeah I forgot about that, but does it really not follow the actual story anymore? kinda pointless then

Shadow raid got taken out cause it was too "hard"

[goodbyedoggy]

that's stupid, shadow raid is easy too idk what overkill was thinking on that part

i think it does follow a storyline kinda?? don't be surprised when you head into the vault on meltdown Bain's dialogue might not make sense, just saying.
pretend you did shadow raid around the third mission...

[JoJonianZaWarudont]

i checked it out on my playstation and most things are the same (as far as i know cus im only on hoxton breakout on both versions) except the stuff about the old safehouse.
also taking the shadow raid job from Gage and the dialogue about murkywater getting angry over it (because the shadow raid warehouse had stuff that "belonged" to them)

A lot of newer players were struggling with it because it crops up very early on in the story and so many of them wouldn't have had the chance to practise Stealth mechanics.

Furthermore although you didn't have to "Succeed" on Shadow Raid to pass it in the Story if you passed it through brute force failure with 1 or 2 bags secured it would really put a damper on the momentum you might have built up winning some loud heists on low difficulties.

the accuracy of the carrer mode is questionable at best, considering stuff like shadow raid aparently no longer being canon since new players found it too difficult so early on and they removed it, which i find specialy odd considering that when they did so they also added the option to skip a heist if you fail it
and stuff like the bfd aparently using the diamond as a tip so i wouldn't really recommend paying too much attention to what it says if you are still interested in a rundown of the story i would rather say that you check out "thekknowley"'s story series
