Sokol-Sangres-Sydney-Clover confirmed B Team?

[exilent]

It has been two heists since the revival of Payday 2, and in both they were promoting using these four heisters. We have roughly 10 heisters that are canon (Came from the payday universe itself, not collabs or guests like Jacket, Wick, Jimmy, H3h3s, etc...) and not from the original crew members from the first game.

But these four made an appearance twice now. Border Crossing was taking place at about the same time the main crew were preparing to break bain out so its obvious they couldnt do that specific one, but the four ones mentionned in the title were used again for San Martin.

Can we consider them the canon B team?

I think for this Silk Road story arc they're sticking with that team for their official art and design to keep it consistent for the campaign although they said on their stream that the idea is you personally figure out in your own narrative and preference what are the A and B teams, depending on what you chose for the previous heists and then the Silk road route is your other team.

And obviously any team with Clover on it is always the A team to me.

Just for silkroad really.

I think the whole reason they choose Sangres is because he's familiar with Mexico since canonically he shouldn't be there nor with the payday gang with how late and forced his introduction was.

Sokol has to be purely because people barely use him, Sydney and Clover just to grab the attention of players, since they're amongst the most played heisters, don't think they're supposed to be like the new main crew, as just 2 of them actually have the broad skills to pull of heists on their own, Sangres and Clover since Syd and Sokol are just adrenaline junkies for the most part, one knows art and the other how to play hockey and that's it.

Saying my boi sokol is just a hockey guy
He has a heist record in russia, before the payday gang, and he did design the BFD himself

But you're right about his pick rate, I rarely join a game where someone plays him before I join, him being my main.
