Thalassophobia Discussion

First off, I'll be frank and honest and just say that I don't believe this achievement is possible by yourself. The best time I've gotten so far is 7:03.

In my mind, this is the way you'd sorta have to go about it and, honestly, its kinda ridiculous unless you have a four man crew in some sort of voice chat....three of which being clients who can traverse through the dsync that comes with lobby play.

--No ECM rushing at the start.
--Host has to make a beeline for the first hack immediately.
--Three clients have to divide themselves amongst the three remaining decks of the ship.
--Host spews out the color/locations
--Hope/Pray you get all that ♥♥♥♥ loaded out within about four minutes.
--Hack the computer again.
--Chain ECMs/Overheat the mainframes/press the buttons.
--Use the lower deck exit to make a quick escape.

Honestly, there are a few achievements of this caliber that I feel like Overkill themselves should do, upload to youtube, and make it known that they're actually possible. I'm not saying they didn't test some of these out beforehand. I'm just saying, it seems like a random team of Devs who programmed the game itself might've gotten it done in like, 5:40 and, as a result, assumed we the pubbers could do it in six.

Which we can, when the stars/players/teammates align.

ECM blocks the buttons iirc, and funny thing is you can interact with the buttons from below to save time.

Did it with a 3-man crew and no voice-chat. No ECMs either.

I hate these (Speed-Running, especially during Stealth) type of achievements.

The only way I managed to do this solo was when 3 items spawned on the same floor. Even then, you're completely at the mercy of so much RNG of what the actual items are (the food carts can be absolutely anywhere), whenever a guard decides to stand right in front of an objective. I hate stealth speed run achievements because it never feels like you actually beat it, it just feels like you got lucky with RNG.

I done it solo in 5:40.
But you need run like hell.

And of course a lot of restarts.

For solo, you need a ton of luck. It's more recommended with at least one other player.
COnsidering it's a Coop game, that's not surprising.

[Tallin]

Did it with only 2 people, no ecms, with a minute left to spare. It does require a decent setup and good knowledge of the boat.

Did you recognize the laptop is telling you what to look for? I love such challenging achies, much more like pointless f.e. place 8 ammo bags in ammo cage (...) Also why are they back at overkill diff? To easy for achies.

Probably because Overkill to One Down doesn't make a difference in terms how the map plays out. No cameras means no Titan cams, no additional guards, no higher requirements for loot.

True for stealth but the others are also overkill diff now, i liked it more when it required mayhem.

And I didn't because Mayhem is pretty horrible right now and those achievements might as well might as well go straight to DW again due the massive lack of difference between Mayhem and DW.

Did it solo, 5:55.
Granted, that time was only because the buttons glitched and activated 2 at the same time.

I think its because 2 of the 4 overrides can be the same button, you just hit it twice.

Ez solo run

[puzzlefox]

speedrunning stealth heists is cancer.
None of these achievements are anything but a massive pain in the ass. I really wish they'd knock this ♥♥♥♥ off.
