Intention of this guide is to tell everything about stealth not visibly mentioned already in game in 90 seconds limit, so please don't leave whining comments about short guide. If you like to read, you can check my main Payday 2 guide http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=589976588
Expanded text guide
  • Stealthable missions are mark with ghost icon.
  • Not every day in multiday stealth mission have to be stealthable, some days can be done loud only.
    • Firestarter day 1
    • Big Oil day 2
    • Framing Frame day 2
    • Election day day 2 (plan B)

  • Some loud only heist can be done quietly until certain point.
    • Counterfeit
    • Big Oil day 2
    • Election day day 2 (plan B)
    • Car Shop (This mission can be only done stealth or rushed, but because of heist scenario, there is no stealth bonus)
    • Mallcrasher (You can complete this entire heist stealth, but because of heist scenario, it's still technicially loud)

  • Concealment stats on your weapons reduce your risk level.
  • Risk level tells you how visible you are to guards.
  • You can answer only four pagers per mission, fifth will trigger the alarm.
  • Interupting pager interaction instantly triggers the alarm.
  • Guards are checking status of broken camers. As soon as you destroy one, nearby guard should be informed about lost vision.
  • Titan camera is type of invulerable camera which replaces all cameras on Mayhem difficulty and above.
  • Killing camera man disables every connected camera and alows you to use them.
  • ECM rush is term used to describe agressive speedrun of stealth mission using multiply ECM jammers.
  • Some heists cannot be rushed, because ECM also jams objective.
    • Yacht Heist
    • Scarface Mansion
    • Hoxton Revenge
    • GO Bank (Timelock)
    • The Diamond (Timelocks)
    • Murky Station (Trains)

  • You can use ECM and bodybags case at the same time with jack of all trades skill.
  • Learn map on lower difficulties before joining Mayhem and above.
  • Don't use armorbag, no matter what. Seriously, don't, every other deployable is better and with stealth build, you want to wear suit anyway.
  • Guards can see and hear broken glass, so shoot carefully.
  • Walking directly into guard always making him notice you, even with your mask off.
  • Civilians report only crimes, not suspicions like lying loot bags or broken cameras.
  • You can use impact power of silenced shotgun to move bodies saving some body bags.
  • Compliting heist without triggering the alarm provides exp bonus for next mission. Better don't waste it on something small.
  • The harder the heist, the greater stealth bonus, up to maximum 25% for completing Framing Frame full stealth.
  • Always read "Bain's plan" before starting heist you don't know. In this way you can prepare yourself for incoming objectives.
  • Motion sensors affect players and lootbags, but ignore throwables and guards, even ones in bag.
  • For some mission stealth is not optional, but mandatory.
    • Shadow Raid
    • Murky Station
    • Yacht Heist
  • Before joining stealth game consider to ask if situation is safe.
  • Silenced saw is not perfectly quiet. It will not alarm entire map, but be careful with nearby witnesses.
  • C4 in sensor mode can be useful during stealth. Especially useful on heists where guards can easily surprise you, like Framing Frame or Election Day.

You cab literally do Firestarter day 1 stealth if you´re lucky and you must be very careful, its almost impossible doing it on stealth while playing on DSOD. And Framing Frame??? Wtf dude, you will certainly do it on stealth almost every time
