Breaking Bad references in Payday 2

Here is the list of all the easter eggs and references to Breaking Bad in Payday 2.
This article *WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS* for Breaking bad so if you didn't finish Breaking bad do not read it since it can spoil the show for you in any way.

The Rats job

The rats job is the job with the most breaking bad references. Here are all of them:

1. I am the one who knocks achievement

To get this achievement you need to cook 3 bags of meth with not a single cop entering the house on day 1.
This is a reference to one of the most famous monologues in history of tv shows.

2. Full measure achievement

If you want to obtain this achievement you need to cook and secure 7 bags of meth without blowing up the lab.
This achievement may be referencing to the Mike's story and also the title of 13th episode of 3rd season.

3. Captain cook achievement

This achievemnt is unlocked when you finish the Rats job on the Mayhem difficulty (or above).
Achievement name is referencing to Jesse Pinkman's nickname before meeting Heisenberg.

4. Breaking Bad achievement

You unlock this achievement by completing the Rats job on Death sentence difficulty.
It's name obviously references to the TV shows name.

5. Mission succes messeges
When we finish the Rats job on any difficulty we can hear Bain saying "Which one of you is Heisenberg, Hector wants to know." or "We should break bad and do this full-time!". The first one you get after completing the day 1 with any ammount of the bags and the second one you can hear when completing day 1 with 7 bags cooked.
I don't have any footage of the 2nd quote but I have a video of the first one:

The Cook off job

This job has only 1 reference that is not shared with any other heist.
1. In the name of Heisenberg achievement

To get this achievement you need to complete the Cook off job on Death Sentence difficulty with One Down modifier activated.
Achievement references to the Breaking Bad main character Walter White A.K.A Heisenberg.

Bomb: Dockyard Heist

This heist also has only 1 achievement refering to breaking bad.
1. Breaking Dead

To obtain this achievement all you have to do is to find the meth lab that is in one of the containers.
The name is a bit changed name of the TV show.

Shared references

This section contains all of the references that are not exclusive to one heist.
1. Meth
On any mission you cook the meth is blue. In Breaking Bad blue meth was the most characteristic thing about Walt's meth (as well as it was the purest on the market).

Possible references

Here is the list of possible references to Breaking Bad although I am not 100% sure if they are referencing to it.
1. Chemists

The suit the chemists in the Rats job are really similar to the suit that Jesse and Walter are wearing when cooking for Gus and later when cooking in houses with help of Neo-Nazis.

2. Teddy Moo

Teddy Moo which can be found in safehouse or many heists and jobs can be refering to Pink Teddy bear which landed in Walt's swimming pool after plane crash.

References pointed out by community

1. Sometimes when Hoxton answers the Pager, he will say "I'm the one who knocks. Gotta go now." Referencing to Heisenberg's speech.

In Rats Job, the description's last line is "Just don't cook in your underwear" which might be a callback to the first episodes when walter was cooking in his underwear
