Shadow raid - All 4 pieces of the samurai armor.

[Munchies]

I need this achievement for reasons.

To be honest ...

I suck at stealth but I'm not that bad.

Last night I spent some hours in that heist but I have some questions.

I know that the armor comes instead of the guards with the choppa on the roof. I played about 10 games and every time it dropped guards and not a single time the armor :(

Does all the pieces come at once?

Can I do something to trigger the event where the pieces are dropped instead of guards?

Do I have to wait 5 minutes every time for the choppa to come or I can do something to make it arrive sooner?

And last but not least if anyone wants to offer his help in getting this achievement feel free to add me. I have headset if it will be easyer for communication.

thats an artifact, the armour is in the vault. try to get people with upgraded ECM jammers. Also it is possible to spawn a helicopter with the artifact by standing in the corner of the helipad.

Nice thanks :)

I went past the vault few times but didn't realy cared since in the guide I read it said the armor would arrive in the helicopter.

I made a stealth build for that heist with silent drill and ECM jammers and I'll try to dig the vault.

The armor is the vault.
There's only one helicopter at 5 minutes.
You can do it on normal.

Youll need 2 guards for the keycards for the vault (though civilians can have them).
The one i the cams room is an obvious choice (as this removes the cameras).
Then there's usually a guard who hangs aorund the door.

Take Thermite in preplanning.
Drop the armor peices down the sewer hole.
Take bag drop point or bottom zipline.

yes, u need 2 keycards to open the vault and they have to be put in within 10 seconds of each other. That makes it hard to solo unless you can kill guards at lucky spots (Orange Civilian has keycard too). Also, any guard who sees the open vault will call the police. So i'd reccomend getting the 8-12 other bags before the armor.

You can't "dig" the vault, you have to use 2 keycards.
1 you can get from the camera guy and you can get the other from the civvie in the orange jumpsuit and yellow hard hat. Thing is you gotta use both keycards within 10 seconds so you gotta take care of the civvie near the vault.

[Munchies]

I do it on Normal so I need only 3 bags to complete the contract.

This is going to be a blast when I do it.

Now I understand why stalth players get so annoyed when people join their games.

I had about 3 games ruined by people joining and being seen by the guards or the cameras or doing something stupid ...

Set your game to private and you won't be annoyed by random joining you.
I recommand changing back to public once the escape is available. You will give free xp to those who join you and that's always a nice move but you will also get more xp with 4 people finishing the heist.

Note there's a "cheating way" to do with with 2 people, it involves duping the keycards but you kinda lost the feeling of achieving it the right way.

Gl with the achievement ;)

Do you still need help? I'm willing to come help! :D

If you want,we can do it in Deathwish.
Ive solod SR DW so many times with armor now,the only RNG i have left would be if the guard that goes stationary has the keycard or not.

Also,first priority is to go left & take down the cam room asap,i always have it down before 1m 30s,after that you can(VERY RISKY) run around & get the loot prepared,OR ignore all taht & body block the helipad to make it 100% all the time Artifact.(If viewing from the ladder that leads to the roof,its the utmost left.If your not sure,let it spawn.There would be an invisisble wall where the heli lands,so at any other tim when your intention is to finish just stand on that spot,variation is 5 minutes to 6m 30s)

After that is done,there are only 5 Murkeys left,run around & get the required loot to stall time(preferably you had Thermite & Zipline).
Overtime,you'll notice some murkeys never move,once you've confirmed them,turn the front of the vault into an EVERYONE DIES-zone & pray they drop the 2nd keycard(cam rum has 1st keycard),this can take a long time depending on luck.(yes i use Aced Body Bags,ECM? Who needs it?~ If not rushing at least)

After you've killed all Murkeys except 1 stationary? You can loot the armor with impunity.Heck...i loot the armor before i touch the outside murkey container loot....thats how safe it is.
(Tbh the most crucial part of SR is the stupid jumping spots needed from Warehouse to waterside,the easiest are through the lamps then down OR the very open ledge.Preferably the lamp jump spot gets learned consistently,because with that you counter the RNG of 1 guard spawning there taht watches eitherr the Waterside or the door.Its still possible to use Zipline even if a guard spawns there,just crouch & hug the leftmost part :D)

(ill try to online at 1am here/7 hours afte this....but if i cant sorry)

Note: If you've used a pager on one guard,not a murkey,then you may aswell re unless you luckily make 2 guards stationary. This is if solo btw.

Overall Good luck!If SR DW is solo mastered...its honsetly awesome~

Or... like.. get 4 people total with at least 33 skill points and just ace ecm specailist, and own ecm overdrive, and like, communicate...


I've today probably gotten every peice of armor more than 60 times.

Edit: Everytime with at least 2 random people. Communication is key. Done in 4 minutes. 23 bags sometimes.

Edit 2: My point is not to brag, but to point out that you've probably been looking at the problem in a narrowed view, there are more than 1 way quite often to complete things in Payday 2, That is what I love about the game.

Edit 3: no we dont use mods. We use maths. And dur brainz.

If your patient - you can actually even remove that as well. the Orange Jump Suit civilian commonly paths between the Window Overlook that is just outside the Camera Room to a point that is outside of the warehouse. If you intercept him when he is between the First Floor Stairs and First Floor Cages - you can get him to drop his card that is with-in sprinting distance of the Vault.

It takes a bit of practice and patience - as all of my shadow run DW successes usually run 25-30 minutes.

[Munchies]

Thank you for all your help. I'll hit you up when I'm back home to try and get that bad bwoy.

[Dantes]

From my experience , if you go solo , u can still steal the armor but u need the right timing to kill the guard . The guard must be near the vault and you already have a card before killing him
