Payday 2: 10 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You
2. What To Remember When Cooking Meth
One of THE most common mistakes every player has made at some point is blowing themselves up on the maps where you can spend time cooking meth either as an objective - as on the Rats job - or as a way of making some lucrative extra cash, like the Hotline Miami job.
During Rats, you should absolutely have subtitles on as the ingredients are told to you by Bain. He messes them up the sometimes, but as a rule of thumb, always put in the last ingredient he says.
During Hotline Miami, the handy picture on the wall of the meth lab dictates the order - it’s always muriatic acid - caustic soda - hydrogen chloride and a surefire way to see what was added last is to take notice of the smoke coming out from the cooking stations.
If in doubt, ask! No-one will mind quickly double checking, but they WILL mind if you lose them some incredibly lucrative cash - especially on higher difficulties.
