PAYDAY: The Heist
No Mercy Plan A help
I'm so sick and tired of everything going fine, and then alarm goes off 'cause that one doctor decided to get pumped full of lead. Please help me, plan A is painful to try solo.

In a group of 4 have 3 people watch the 1 alarm buttons each and 1 person do the objectives and help with the main desk. The buttons are in the elevator room, north corridor, and the main desk. The only way for the alarm to be raised is to miss the cameras, killing a civilian (not including the repair man), or a civilian touching the alarm button. I'm not sure about the guard because he's always dead before he can do anything when I play. Since civs can't raise the alarm without touching a button if you just watch them closely then they will never touch them. Just follow your roles and it will be easy.

Host should be the one to watch the main desk since they will have the fastest connection and be able to manage the large group of civs better than anyone else.

I know that.
But I can't find anyone willing to play No Mercy.

The stealth part on this map really isn't meant to be done solo.
On nomal you can easily manage, but on the higher difficulties it's you running around constantly and hoping the civilians stay down. If you're lucky this part only takes about two minutes, though.

And when you don't answer the phone within 15 (or was it 20?) seconds. The guard will set off the alarm when he reaches the reception area.

It's harder to do anything above Normal for Plan A on solo because of the number of locations you need to run and gun within seven seconds, not to mention far away places that you need to guard the buttons for alone.

The camera amount is heavily reduced when you're playing solo though, think it's 3-4? Not sure exactly but it is way easier to do solo than in multiplayer.

''Way easier in stealth in SOLO''

Please, don't make me laugh. The cameras are no issues, the amount of civilians though...

I've successfully stealthed it multiple times as far as I can remember, must be your issue.

Again, on normal it's easy and you only have to watch one button. On the higher difficuties you have to watch three buttons (two actually if you know what you're doing) and the civilians can get up at any point, even a second after you've shouted them down.

There's 3 cameras per player with a maximum of 9 cameras. Sometimes you're unlucky and they're so far apart that you can't get them, but usually taking out these three cameras is the easy part.
