Secret run rules
ПЕРЕВОД НА РУССКИЙ ЯЗЫК.

Hello everyone. Since I got few billions of questions about secret run I decided to make this list of the rules. There are already some guides on Steam about this but here I’ll try to note every small detail. So if you are going to make this challenge, please read this first.

Requirements
  1. The challenge must be completed on the Overkill 145+ difficulty.
  2. The drill must take two hours to finish.
  3. All gold must be taken from the overvault.
  4. The heist must be completed successfully.
  5. All players must be alive at the end (team AI is excluded).
  6. All players must wear a golden mask (team AI is excluded).
  7. All players must record a video of full secret run completion.
  8. All important moments must be shown on at least 1 video. These include triggering the overdrill, setting up the drill with a 7200s timer, taking ALL gold and escaping. Different moments may be on different videos (for instance if different players set the drill and enter the puzzle code).
  9. The videos have to be available on a video sharing website such as YouTube. You should post links to both the videos and the crew members’ steam profiles on my Steam profile.
  10. After successfully completing the challenge in compliance to these rules, a join request should be made on the PAYDAY: The Secret Steam group.
  11. The videos should be still available after getting into the Secret group. If you are using YouTube, you can set it to access by link or only available for me ( cloakerhater@gmail.com ) if you don't want them to be public.

Forbidden
  1. Cheating and abusing bugs/glitches including using god spots like sitting under the table in manager’s room (in the Beta version) or inside bags. It's hard to describe the line where it becomes unacceptable but let's say if the tactic bases on using god spots i'll certainly reject the run. Interactions through the walls ARE allowed.
  2. Having a drill timer that takes less than 7200 seconds, even if you wait the full 2 hours before entering the overvault.
  3. Using any mod that changes the gameplay (for both host and clients).
    To make it more clear, the following features are NOT allowed on the secret run:
    - Hitmarkers
    - Enemies Health bar or any enemies indicator
    - Enemies counter (the amount of alive enemies on the map)
    - Dot, crosshair or any other weapon sight during bleedout
    - Assault timer if it counts down to the exact time.
    - Free flight camera
    - Scripts for the suicide
    - Disabling smoke effects
    - Motion Sickness Helper

    Playing on custom Overkill 193+ is allowed only if full ammo respawn after custody is disabled. Use ovk_193_ammo_respawn = false, config option in user.lua file for that.
  4. Changing weapons, crew bonuses, perks or deployables while rejoining the lobby.

Permitted
  1. Rejoining the game after losing connection, crashing or to fix some bugs appeared in the game.
  2. Having team AI spawn in with different masks after someone loses connection. Players that rejoin should always wear the golden mask.
  3. Using the beta build of the game or a mod for 7200 seconds on drill timer.
    (The mod linked also requires DAHM/DorHUD)
  4. Using mods that do not alter the gameplay and don't provide any additional information.
  5. Having VAC or game bans on Steam.
  6. Having weird PDTH statistics on Steam. But you should at least have beaten the 6 original heists on the Overkill 145+ difficulty. I can ask you to remake any 145+ heist(s) (not remaking the secret run itself) if i think that it's needed.
  7. Trading hostages. This is just a part of the gameplay, but somehow a lot of people asked if it is allowed or not.
  8. Using any FOV (and aiming FOV) values in the game. This is just a game option.
  9. Breaking the video into several parts because of disconnects, crashes or just demo versions of recording software. The framerate and resolution of the video are not important as long as you're able to make out what's happening.
  10. Using bags as cover: hiding behind them, NOT inside.
  11. Having team AI in custody at the end of the heist. If someone had to leave before the completion of the heist, it’s fine to play with team AI as long as all real players live to escape. The player that had to leave will be disqualified for not having played the full heist.
    An exception : if the real player is in custody during escape and (s)he leaves, the run will be still rejected.
  12. Playing with people who are already in the secret group.
  13. Disabling elevators, dozers and shields spawns by reaching an objective to set the C4. (You don't need to set any C4 for that, but that's allowed too).

And what's the reward?

Cloaker Hater 8 Jul, 2018 @ 9:59am 
Accepting into the secret group and obtaining secret masks in game, as it always was

2 hours for a mask? Useless.

Anyway, good luck if somebody wants to try it.

It really doesn't fit as a pinned post on this discussion board. It's also posted on the discussion board for the corresponding group, so it's quite easy to find.

Considering the specific selection of players that are interested in this game today. It does.

But then something about the Vyse masks should be stickied too. But if you're going to sticky anything, what about the issue about the missing DirectX files when you first install this game? My point is that it's not directly related to the general discussions and if you're going to sticky something like that, then why not sticky similar things? And if you'd do that, where does it end? You probably need a sticky post that's more like a FAQ and addresses a lot of topics.. However, to do that you'd need someone with moderator permissions on these forums.

With that part I agree. Plus it's just nice to have access to everything, especially those things for which you have to work (and no, hacking those things in isn't working for it). As for the skill required, well, it's a co-op game so that's not really a requirement. You just have to be a team player. The two hour challenge can be completed with just a bit of common sense and little skill as it's mostly camping in the same room.

Because it's a requirement for unlocking the overdrill. Or at least it used to and still is in the beta version of this game, but this challenge is from the time where it used to be a requirement.

Did you read what I just posted? That's the case now, but this challenge is the original reward for completing overdrill (except that PD2 has been released for a while now).

I strongly agree with you that waiting the drill for 2 hours is too boring but, some people care about masks and some of them might need to pay money to get them like soundtrack DLC.

In my opinion, masks mean nothing for me even golden mask that I got it solo I barely wear it. Besides on PC all masks can be unlocked by using some hacks so, you might find a player has all masks while he can't even beat Hard without cheat.
