Scrap Metal Made Easy - An alternative approach to the hardest trophy
By Green
The problem - The megalo-mania perk deck is bad. It's hard to survive and requires all 4 players to play exceptionally well in order to complete the heist.

The solution - By doing the majority of the heist in stealth, the challenge becomes much easier.

The Maniac Perk Deck
The maniac perk deck encourages active kills to gain a damage reduction. This is a breif overview of the perk deck:
  • 100% of damage death is converted into "Hysteria Stacks"
  • You can gain 240 Hysteria Stacks every 4 seconds
  • Max stacks is 600
  • 25 Stacks = 2 damage absorption
  • Stack decay rate = 60% + 40 every 8 seconds
  • All players gain the hysteria stacks of the most hysterical player

As the last point states, all players can only gain one persons bonus at any given time, meaning its pretty useless to have more than one player actually taking this perk deck into a heist. Of course the point of the trophy is to complete the heist anyway though.
The Trophy
  • Complete Scarface Mansion on Mayhem
  • Finish in loud
  • Have all players using the maniac perk deck and no skills

The key point here is that you only have to finish in loud, which is why one player will be doing the heist in stealth, whilst the others stay back and wait for the heist to go loud.
The builds
There will be 2 builds for the heist - A stealth player and 3 loud players.

Player 1
Since skill points and perk decks are already set, the only changes will be the deployable and weapons.

For the deployable, take bodybags, they will help as you need to clear out the outside of the building.

Players 2-4
These players will support player 1 once the heist goes loud.

Take FAKs or bodybags to help out.
Stealthing the Heist
The objectives of the heist are as follows
  • 1 - Find the Head of security and grab his usb
  • 2 - Hack the laptop
  • 3 - Rewire panel 1
  • 4 - Hack the laptop
  • 5- Rewire panel 2
  • 6 - Enter the house and press the button to open all the doors
  • 7 - Find and open the yayo containing the microphone
  • 8 - Call Ernesto
  • 9 - Go kill Ernesto
  • 10 - Loot 6 bags of yayo

    GO LOUD NOW

  • 11 - Escape!

Buy all assets - the deployables help in case you go loud, and the camera access helps alot throughout the entire heist.

One the first few guards are out, get at least one person to stay on the cameras and mark out as many guards as possible.

Before you complete objective 1, you should take out as many guards as you can, the outside guards do not have any pagers, it is possible to kill them all if not in front of cameras. By using the suppressed Judge shotgun, you will be able to boop guards over the walls and into the water. This helps as you only have 1 body bag.

Once clear, objectives 1-5 should be easy.

Objectives 6-8 are easy, but you must avoid the many guards. So, once objective 6 is done, feel free to leave and check the windows for the objectives.

Upon clearing objective 8. leave the building and enter through the right side, there is a door you can lockpick which takes you straight to Ernesto. You do have to take out 2 guards on the way, they do not need bagging no one else enters the area.

Once Ernesto is dead, objective 10 is easy as the cameras will be down, you can just throw the bags through towards the exit and have the other players carry them.

Once all bags are looted, loud players fire their weapons, wait for the assault phase to begin, then leave.
