Yang, Cinder, Jaune, and Neo try Payday 2 on Deathwish difficulty. Things don't go according to plan.
Quick key: Payday 2 is a game about robbing banks, Dozers are heavily armored enemies, and Tasers do a super secret thing that you'll never be able to guess.
Also, a big thank you to Arkapella for helping me with this, I had no idea what to do for a heist.
"No, Jaune! R is reload, R!" Yang was shouting again, despite them being 3 feet from each other.
"Well if you let me have a practice round to get used to the controls – " Jaune began to retort.
"We let you have plenty of practice on the first two days of the job!" an obviously annoyed Cinder said before continuing, "Neo, what the dust are you doing?"
"…"
Cinder rolled her eyes. "Why did I expect anything different."
"Ok, we've got less than a minute to hold them off, just a bit longer until that vault opens. I laid an ammo bag out behind the reception desk if you need it," Yang said while mowing down a Dozer.
"Wait, how do I pick up ammo again?"
"Oh, for the love of- F Jaune, F!" Yang shouted before glancing at his screen, "You don't even need any! Just reload!"
"And-"
"R DAMMIT!"
Cinder moved from her position from the back alley to behind the reception desk to grab ammo.
"Cinder, Taser, behind you!" Yang shouted as she moved back into the main room.
"FUCK!" Cinder slammed her mouse against her desk as her character was downed. "I'm down!"
"Jaune! You need to get Cinder! Neo!" Yang turned her attention to the younger girl, "You've got to help us out, we need you to start thinning out some of these guys coming in so we can drill into the vault!"
Jaune steeled himself, and left his cover behind the Teller's Room with his revolver at the ready. As he rounded the corner, he trained his sights on the Taser who downed Cinder. One shot and off flew his helmet, two shots and he was down. Jaune pushed forward to where Cinder was lying on the ground and revived her character.
"So you're not completely useless after all…" Cinder muttered into her mic.
Yang glanced over to see Cinder being helped up. "Nice work Vomit Boy," Yang teased before switching back to leader mode immediately. "Cinder, you need to drop yourself a med kit."
"I know how to run my character," Cinder shot back, still bitter over needing to be rescued by Jaune.
"Ok, that's it everyone! The vault's open! Get inside, now!"
Neo made a rare appearance and popped in to blow the interior gates of the vault, before disappearing again to do… whatever it was she was doing. Yang brandished her saw and got to work on the lock boxes while Cinder and Jaune covered the vault entrance.
"So, what's this say? Press F to start fire?" Jaune said while squinting at his screen.
"NO!"
The money pile went up in flames, much to the chagrin of the two ladies in the vault with him.
"Eh he he… Sorry?" Jaune offered up pathetically as he took one of Cinder's med kits.
"I take it back. You are worthless," Cinder spat, looking over at Jaune across the room as Yang finished the last of the lock boxes.
"No time for that now, we've got-" Yang was interrupted by a flashing light and a bang. "Shit, flashed! Get down!"
Cinder and Jaune both managed to avoid the brunt of the flashbang, but were still directly in the path of two Dozers coming full on ahead through the vault doors.
Yang was wildly spraying with her shotgun, hoping to hit something, but was quickly dispatched by the first Dozer.
"I'm down! Jaune, you've got to get one of them!" Yang cried out, watching as Cinder went after the second Dozer into the room.
"Oh crap. Hey big fella," Jaune said with a nervous laugh before opening up on the first Dozer.
"Ha! Got the sonovabitch!" Cinder proclaimed triumphantly as her Dozer fell, before instantly being downed by Jaune's Dozer. "Ah! You're shitting me!"
"Sorry!" Jaune said apologetically, raising his hand in acknowledgement of his blunder.
"Jaune, don't let go of your mouse!" Yang almost leapt out of her chair to correct him. "You're the only one left alive, and we need you to get the bag out to the van!"
"Oh, right!" he responded before turning his attention back to the Dozer.
"Aim for his head, that's the only way you can take him out," Cinder observed coolly, fully expecting him to fail… which he didn't.
"Yes! You did it! Alright, now grab a bag, and get it the van, and we're done!" Yang spurred him on.
"B-but what about you two?"
"Don't worry about us, it's too risky, the cops will be in here before you get a chance to revive either of us. Just go!"
Jaune grabbed a bag and bolted out to the lobby, and then around to the back alley where he had a clear line to the getaway van.
"You're doing great! Now, press G to throw the bag when you get to the van – WHEN YOU GET TO THE VAN! PICK IT UP, PICK IT UP!" Yang was going to kill him after this, that was for sure.
Enemies were swarming now, and he quickly decided to switch weapons for the task, and mushed down the 2 button. At least, that's what he thought he pressed. A grenade appeared from his character's grasp, and simply dropped at his feet, exploding almost immediately.
Cinder was glowering at him, making it very clear that she wished to burn him to a crisp. Yang's eyes were red, and her hair fiery as she was still raging at the screen.
And then Jaune was suddenly being helped up. Neo was there, and had cleared out all of the enemies that were pinning them down. Jaune hopped up and grabbed the bag, before sprinting to the van, while Neo simply walked along sniping any enemy that dared to show their face.
When she reached the van, Yang couldn't help but ask, "You did so well at the end there, but what were you doing the whole time?"
IceCreamQueen says: "Jumping on cars."
…
Ladykiller has left the game.
GlassSlippers has left the game.
JustRight has left the game.
Neo grinned, and started the mission over again.
