Players have discovered the secret end of Payday 2

Payday 2 was released in 2013, but players are discovering everything at the moment what seems to be his secret. It ends after weeks to collect esoteric clues in the culmination of a challenge that had begun even before the game's official release and which could finally be completed through a new update of the game.

To solve the problems, the players have woven together fake reports from CNN and an old story invented. The trip to unlock the game's secret finals Payday 2 It was much more than robbing banks, and although this was only possible after the game was last updated, puzzle solving required players to outsource massively their collective knowledge of the ever-changing tradition. evolution of the game

From now on, it is impossible to talk about discovery without going into revelations, so consider yourself warned.

As reported by Rock, paper, shotgunall this has been an extremely complicated affair. A community member, GeneralMcBadass, downloaded the secret end of the game over the weekend, followed by an explanatory video yesterday explaining how players can activate it. Although the video only lasts about 14 minutes, it contains a sufficient amount of tiny details and moving parts to turn the head of the most secretive secret hunter.

In short, the mission of the White House is to blast players if certain conditions are met. This leads to an underpass where they are attacked by waves of demons while they try to open a vault door. From there, they access a large underground cavern with a giant mysterious artifact in the center that can be activated only by placing gold bars on the ground at specific locations. The screen then becomes white and an actual end of action occurs.

It would require a master's degree in Payday 2– technology to adequately explain the importance of everything in the final and written epilogue. To summarize, the protagonists of Dallas, Wolf, Chains and Houston manage to achieve the most impressive hold-up in the history of humanity. They do not just steal the presidential graces, according to the latest mission of the game, but the country itself, metaphorically speaking, by means of a hidden magic artifact, National Treasurestyle, under the White House. This item allows a sick and dying Bath, responsible for the crew's mission, to exchange corps with the President (who, in the end of the film, is played by John de Lancie, better known as Q of Star Trek: the new generation).

Technically, it all started with the Guide of Bain, a PDF file published with the game's Career Criminal Edition. This file showed potential gamers the characters of the game and the basics of gameplay. At the same time, it was a fictional work involving people in a deeper narrative network woven by the creators of the game, referring to a special artefact and clues to its location when it changed hands throughout history. It was played as an alternative reality game, or ARG.

In recent weeks, this ARG has moved up a gear as a studio behind Payday 2Overkill Software has started publishing mysterious YouTube videos and new story content, including last week's White House update. By combining all the shots, releases, comics, fake FBI websites, the community was able to gather what was needed to access the artifact.

This included the key to decipher the runes on a device assembled from random collectibles scattered in various missions. The resulting messages were specific to each player and indicated the success of the game they had to perform in order to blow up the secret wall of the White House, where the secret end hides. If the four players of the hold-up team do not undergo the required Steam event, nothing will happen. You can try to wrap your head by reading the Payday 2Wikipage dedicated to the ARG.
