You'd think after the major success of Payday 2 that Overkill wouldn't do something as ridiculous as have a "random" beta access giveaway with coincidentally most of the recipients being streamers. Well you'd be wrong, Overkill seriously thought the community was dumb enough to not notice this. The fact they still aren't fully giving out access and in fact deleted people's request shows they really aren't sorry this happened, they're sorry they got caught.

Buying Payday 2 DLC is in my muscle memory at this point. This heist is pretty good, it has some interesting mechanics like the heavy gun emplacements and new enemy type that was later added to the game, its not so bad!

A good heist overall with a nice payout. Stealth is also quiet good here and not frustrating.
Also they finally made driving fun by adding the golf cart. Absolutely the best part about this heist i won't lie.

4 local infamous heisters driving golf carts and running over bulldozers at mach speed while listening to funky banjo music

Fun setting, unique music, decent objectives (though the ability to decide which objectives to do first is a really good idea), golf carts, overall heist is a pretty good/10

when played loud, it felt a little short and mediocre in gameplay despite its cool environment

sneaky version was rather fun as you get to pay more attention to the scenery and layout, learn a bit more about your targets, and overall it feels like a whole different thing compared to going in guns blazing

price-wise could be a little cheaper for the value, but nice heist nonetheless

I like this map, it's hard but not bad.
But if I want to use the Turrets (because I want to do some rare Achievements), but the game crashes

The new enemy type is awesome imo. There should be a opinion to have the new enemy type in every loud heist

3.5/5
Quite an extensive map
Some very fun achievements in this one
Marshals are... ok
Stealth is a marathon

A lot of the map is just empty space that doesn't really need to be there. Segmenting the map is fine, but the massive house never needed that much complexity.

People have been comparing this mostly to fire starter's first day, I have to disagree on it though, you break into the ranch find gun parts assemble stuff but pay attention to the crates you have and haven't looted cause you'll miss one if you're careless. I did find it interesting being able to take an LMG and build it wherever you want too. And unlike fire starter you have 2 things to help move the weaponry this time beyond daisy-chaining bags together, the golf cart, the most lethal thing imaginable that speeds like a sports car, and a zipline.

It's an alright heist, though I notice enemies are either clogged in places, or zerg rushing you, or seemingly appearing from nowhere in some parts. It's an interesting heist.

No I won't discuss the stealth aspect of it, stealth in this game is very painful as is, this map is HUGE, but mostly one floor, I just am personally tired of knowing that so much time is wasted trying to make stealth a choice in the matter, I'd rather have all cylinders firing on the loud front cause that's actually fun.

Also the most important thing, the mission doesn't run like a man that has had their feet beaten with hoses.

who would win in a fight, a mini gun dozer or a golf cart?

In my opinion, this is great heist! I've seen others say that this just isn't good, which i don't agree with at all. Thanks for the fun DLC!

This is pretty much Goat Simulator part 2.
The hype was big, the only thing bigger was the level itself.
Minimum playtime for Midland Ranch is on average over 30 minutes. Everything is long and drawn out and theres not much in place to remind you why you're really here doing what, like most of Locke's contracts.

Its an exceedingly large map with next to 0 sniper spawns ----- because they are replaced mostly with US Marshals: low powered Sniper units that filter through the normal rank and file on the ground.

The goals are hazy and require covering almost every inch of the map just to get 5% done if playing solo. You have about 3-4 barns each almost indistingusihable from the other from the inside, causing me to get lost very frequently even after 4 plays.

Lets touch on that for a minute. This level is very vast and has multiple areas and even golf carts to traverse it with.
This seems to encourage players to split up which is a terrible thing to train players to do if this is the first heist they join into. Even if its not conscously encouraged that is what happens 90% of the time because with such an open area and multiple tasks to complete, everyone is inevitably going to have thier own ideas of what should be done first, and are very unlikely to trust your judgement and follow you to one you're doing.

This is boring and easy to get lost in, objectives are arbitary with locke saying "We're here we might as well do this thing for no reason" even though they can just simply rebuild the workbenches you destroy from any hardware store. Yet you cannot progress in the mission at all until you've placed every single C4 which falls to the responsibility to whomever picks it up off the table, additional C4 cannot be acquired.

Playing offline solo is absolutely unpleasant on anything higher than normal because you're going to get burned out a quarter of the way just trying to find your way to the next objective.

If you do not have human friends to play with you will not enjoy this, the bots compound the drudging you will do trying to navigate the map. If you are expecting this to be a hiest you can replay multiple times you will be mistaken. This is like Big Oil where you do it once and usually avoid it later on because you don't rememeber having fun.
And all you're doing is building some AK17 rifles that you may already own on workbenches that anyone can easily softlock by scattering the contents to other workbenches. The golf cart can get stuck almost permanently within 6 feet of its spawn area, and it is somehow FASTER than the Longfellow, with wihhc you're trying to navigate a very tight arena.

I want to refund this but I waited too long. I don't see myself enjoying this casually. The stakes and time investment are too high for too little reward.

Did not enjoy this heist. Did it in stealth and it's just kind of boring. Wish they gave you hints for objectives rather than saying nothing and then just marking where to go.

Loud Mayhem Review

Not too bad, navigating the giant main house was alittle weird but ok.
Only problem was the dang turret that was soo loud, didnt matter where you were in was in your ears.

Achievement mini logos were bugged and yellow upon completion.

It was really simple to do.

One of the best heists overkill has done, this is so much fun.

You can collect parts and build weapons, you can drive 2 very fast golf carts, the music is amazing, and you can operate a turret!

:ResidentSleeper:

The heist is boring asf and lack creativity and I hate it so much while the "Raise the balloon and wait for the plane for loud", while for 6 services is bugged asf and wont register the bags that u put in the balloon wtf?

The heist basically in a nutshell:

1. Find Laptop
2. Put Laptop beside computer and wait while defend elec box
3.Open the damn gate
4. Make Weapons or Steal Weapons and blow the crafting table with C4
5. Put Gun in Boat
5.1. If you want more fun because this heist sucks use the golf cart because is the only great thing about this heist while the car is wonky asf.

Heist is pretty interesting, pretty unique objectives to this heist as well alongside a new contractor; Mcshay.

Only downsides is that the Golf carts are a bit buggy, you can Austin Powers yourself in spots that seem impossible. Oh yeah and the achievements but that's a given whenever a new heist comes out.

Pretty damn fun heist, and brought with it 2 new features, stationary turrets that are the same as the R:WW2 turrets, just more reliable and moveable, and added a new enemy, mid-range armor melter with tracers.

The map is cool, there's never anywhere without cover, but you're never TOO safe anywhere either. The new gun cooking is cool, more interesting then just moving bags. New soundtrack is :chef'skiss:.

also, golf carts to move bags around, yes.

Great fun. Bonus turret that can be set up to hold different locations. New enemy type, BIG map. Transport mode that is both fast and useful. The objectives aren't much special BUT there's a lot here.

Midland Ranch is a pretty good heist, played on Mayhem going loud and had no real game breaking problems, the turret and golf cart was fun. The new enemy, the US Marshall, I couldn't tell what he's meant to do in game, he looks like a mid-range sniper but he felt like a swat cop with more HP. Also if you chose the cage option in loud, it doesn't count to the loot you have to bring to the boat at the end of the heist.

Alright Heist, a bit short if you know what to do but we got some "new" Objectives and Ideas.
You can ride a golf cart that seems to be hella buggy currently, getting stuck if you ram a corner too fast.
There is a .50 cal mounted Turret you can use and disassemble and reassemble at different locations, a bit wack since you dont dodge while on it and i doubt its worth going for in Loud Mayhem or above.
The Weapon crafting Idea is pretty good, basically just cooking Meth without the delay waiting for instructions what to put in next.
Quite a bunch of new Assets which is nice.

As the name implies this heist is mid. The new campaign is shaping up to be pretty good, but this heist was a weak start. The mounted machine guns and new special unit are both nice additions, but the rest of the heist just feels uninspired. Objectives both loud and stealth are slow and boring (building weapons? nah, just a prolonged fetch quest). Compared to the previous heist DLC (Mountain Master) this is a big step down. I would not recommend picking it up by itself. Buy the midland bundle instead, with that you'll at least get some good content in the form of firearms.

When the second wave of "Help we're bankrupt and need money" DLCs first hit, they were AWFUL. But heists like Ukranian Prisoner, Dragon Heist, and now this beauty of a map have managed to actually make me feel hype for Payday 3. A very cool gun crafting mechanic makes me actually get all the loot I can. Stealth actually has some pretty unique objectives. Loud has plenty of cover and the new unit is interesting, the tracer bullets remind me of Payday The Heist snipers.

Doesn't crash with wolfhud, automatic win.
Stealth is unique and tough and the new crafting mechanics are neat as well.
New enemy type is interesting and makes the loud portion play uniquely with the turret sections too, great heist.

As always, this dlc is way too expensive, but hey, I'm a fanboy, i'll buy it anyway.

Now my thoughts about this heist. It's quite beautiful, a bit of challenging and it's fun to play stealth. The second part of the heist is actually too easy for me, but it's fun and does not stress me to play. The main building in the beginning is weird and you always have to to run through the house, because you can't walk around it. There are windows to enter it but they are so badly placed that they are useless. That's annoying, especially when guards stand still for like 2 minutes when you only have one way to go. In total a solid 8/10 but overpriced for what you get.

Crashes on start, I literally paid 7$ for nothing. 10 years of releasing fcktons of DLCs and can't make it right

Also stop pumping DLCs into this game I'm tired of your bullshit. Wanna beat Train Simulator with 10k $ worth of extra content, or what? Just release PD3 already and move one. Dumb fck losers.

This heist is great fun, from being able to create weapons to steal, being able move the mounted 50 cal to different spots to zipping around the running cops over in a golf cart! The U.S Marshal is pretty neat as well, having the mobility of a normal cop and similar power as snipers (on higher difficulties). Also the soundtrack is brilliant, I can’t but groove to the mix of Wild West and dubstep. In my opinion this heist has reached maximum YYYEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAW.

Trailblazers is a jam and the Marshal looks badass. The heist doesn't bore me and actually makes me want to play it.

This heist was not even close to worth the 7€ I paid for it. You had some worthless gimmicks, the turret for example that you can assemble and disassemble, which sounds cool, but its a whole lot more effective to just kind of run around with a weapon, crits and maybe surefire aced. Or the golf carts, which were funny for the memes, I guess, but they're also just kind of a faster forklift reskin. The objectives were dull, you just kind of decrypt some stuff, tear down a gate, secure 8 weapons and leave. I would literally not say a thing if this wasn't 7€. Its not even worth it for the new special either, they just die too quickly. I killed like 6 of them and I am still not sure what they even do. Are they just on foot snipers?? Also I think you don't even need the DLC for the new special, since apparently they're gonna appear on other heists from now on too.

Cant say anything about stealth, I don't play stealth if I can avoid it, a friend of mine who is into stealth said that even the stealth in this heist is lame, so I am just gonna take his word for it.

Heist is like a 6/10, which would be fine if it wasn't almost the same price as the Legacy Collection, which gives you so much more content that is also so much more worthwhile. Maybe I was just expecting too much, especially after the last few heists were great, Black Cat, Ukranian Prisoner and Mountain Master.

I don't recommend it, unless you can somehow get it for like 2€ - 3€ further down the line.

nice short and sweet heist, golf carts get stuck too easily though and could probably be fixed if there was an unstuck button for vehicles. mouted turret was a nice feature (even if mostly useless in the end) and the gun crafting was rather interesting. New marshal special, even though he fits the theme, kinda sucks, basically a footsniper if they were given a pistol with a scope. Overall 9/10 heist, just wish the new special did something... well... special.
