How do you deal with cloakers?

[Ben Drinkin]

They usually jump out of corners or behind stuff....anyone have tips?

Know their hiding places, always have your eyes open, aim for the head.

shoot them in the face, the face, the face!!

Listen for their audio cues (a fading high beep when they enter, a continuous beep when they're lurking nearby). If you hear one nearby, begin to sweep corners, rather than rushing in, and ideally use something with a lot of punch, as you might have precious little time to deal with them if they spot you first.

Barring that, use other players as bait.

Also, listen. I think they are easier to spot when you can hear them.

And they can jump through walls. Just saying.

Payday 2: Global Offensive?

[AonGreyFox]

They have fix hiding spot (but almost everywhere, so just remember where you commonly go is enough like in Rat / FireStarter Day 2)

Listen to their static noise. His static noise is much like Taser, Helicopter but louder. If you hear it, they are nearby so take a good care and look around conner.

Extra tip : Try to stay behind obstacle. He can't charge at you if something block his path even just a bench (lol) BUT, he still able to jump kick if you are close enough. So be ready to jump/avoid to left or right when he do it.

He also stop/stun when taking fire damage or get tase by buzzer even when charging.

turn the volume up to 11 and wait for the tell xD when you hear it screw everything else and WATCH FOR A CLOAKER

side note its a good idea to lower the music volume and rase the sound effects. dont turn the music off, most of it is really good but make sure you can actually hear whats going on in game..

Mute or reduce the music level. Nice tip.
So you can easily hear cloakers noise, also tazers.

Listen to them. They make a small sound when they are lurking in their hiding places which can be heard quite easily by lowering the music a couple of levels lower than the other sound settings.
