about Cook Off
So, i always tought of the light switch being useless as lightbulbs would just eventually get destroyed and without them it was still not dark at all.

But recently i have heard a lot about keeping the power on would speed up the time bain takes to say which is the correct ingredient.

Is that true, or lights dont really matter? I dont have much time to go figure it out myself, because the time bain takes to say the right ingredient varies a lot, so... Does anyone know the answer to tha question?

I've also heard about this myth. Never knew if it was true or not. Might try later.

While I'm hardly the type to dive into the game's code or memorise the entirety of The Long Guide, I can tell you that this is the first time I have EVER heard of the lightswitch doing anything like this.

The only useful information I can tell you is that if you buy the Floodlights asset, that means the lightswitch will have permanent effects, the floodlights can't get destroyed and help light up the general area where the cops spawn, but that obviously isn't anywhere near as useful as making Bain's meth cooking speed up.

well, floodlights dont really make a big difference when cops have bright colors and move a lot.

The Long Guide?

Yes, this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=267214370

If you've honestly never heard of it, it's essentially a manual for every piece of Payday 2 under-the-hood information you could ever want to know. Intricacies of cop AI, weird heist scripts, individual tips and advice for every heist in the game, full cop stat tables for every difficulty, and so on. It's legitimately one of the best guides on Steam, period.

Anyway, it's also worth noting that after double-checking TLG, it doesn't mention this anywhere. Considering this guide contains some of the most obscure and nonsensical heist tips ever (eg. how to always get the artifact from the chopper on Shadow Raid), I highly doubt it wouldn't mention something as useful as this.

I run balls deep in regardless of it's purpose. I mean, I got iron man ace and parkour ace, I'll be fine.

However, I have noticed it takes Bain forever to find out what ingrdient is next when the lights are out.

That's your brain trying to find a logical solution. Reality is that Bain is an old ♥♥♥♥ that manage to mess up since he depends on google to do his job.

Why does Google allow you to search how to cook meth?

Just the first result. I bet I could find even more indepth if I looked deeper.

I do not think it is illegal to look that up. Not like I was going to make a batch at home.

:awkward:
There does seem to be a bit of a change in the amount of time. Maybe I’m just distracted by trying to keep the lights on.
