Bank Heist: Big
This map is alright. As per usual Loud is Infinitely more fun than stealth, but this heist is stealthable. The map does take some time to finish but preplanning is a interesting addition, even if you only choose like 3-4 of the options because they’re objectively better than the other ones.
The rifle provided with this DLC is meh, Nice to have but there are better options.
Oh yeah and you get to do this map on the behalf of Payday’s version of Gus Fring lol
8/10 Map fun, rifle alright.
Fantastic map with many preplanning options. Average gun. Get on sale.
this is probably the best heist in the game
should've made the dentist a playable character ngl would've been sick besides that dlc is cool worth me money
Gustavo (Gus) Fring back at it again
oh my god its the meth flavoured chicken guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, and welcome to the Los Pollos Hermanos. My name is Gustavo, but you may call me The Dentist.
I am thrilled that you'll be joining our team. Each and every day, we serve our customers exceptional food, with impeccable service. We take pride in everything that we do. And after this 10 week online seminar, I'm sure you'll fit right in. I like to think I see things in people. To begin, I'd like to talk about the cornerstone of the Los Pollos Hermanos brand. Communication. As an employee of Los Pollos Hermanos, you set the tone for the entire dining experience. Be mindful of what your words, and behavior communicate to our guests. Always be aware of your posture, remember to stand up straight. Your customers and your back will thank you for it. Put effort into your appearance, all employees are required to dress appropriately. Keep your uniform clean, and pressed. If you want respect, you must look respectable. Speak in complete sentences, we never use one word greetings like "Hey" or "Yeah?" Always make eye contact, and finally, whenever you're with a customer or not, remain composed. Inside, you can be thinking about your homework, or friends, or your side business, but no one should ever know it. Because at Los Pollos Hermanos,
someone... Is always watching.
So don't forget to smile! That's all for today, see you next time when we'll be discussing cleanliness.
Both stealth and loud manage to be frustrating with the amount of objectives to do and how you complete them all. Somehow, this is a positive with this heist. There's some sort of charm to Big Bank, with all its required planning, dividing tasks, and everything in general. While stealth is genuinely frustrating, the frustration comes from the challenge, and the frustration in loud comes from the complexity of the heist. Up there as one of the bests heists in the game. Overkill, you did something right with this one, but I can't tell you what it is.
For me, this was the last good DLC that made sense. I liked it. But from there, I think it went only downhill.
not for the DLC but why did that cool civ have to die?
My daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Recommended song for this map:https://youtu.be/tjLr1XhBKVQ
I going to split this review into two parts :p
The heist:
The heist in itself is one of my favs in the game. The preplanning is one of the best, which helps in making diferent heists everytime. The rewards isn't that good if you're "grinding" for money and exp, but if you're playing for fun, the heist is for you
Ete Ceteras:
The falcon rifle is nothing special, considering that there are better weapons (some of them are free). There are new achievements (that unlocks the attachments fo the falcon) and new mask, and those are always welcome. But most importantly, this is the first mission with the dentist, so, it's a heavy part of the lore
Really good heist and the trailer was so funny how the guy died after all the gun shots when Dallas
gave him the stack of $2000
-Its a medium map with a lot of money on it, stealth is fairly hard with a large pay off,i just wish moving bags was easy.
-The "Falcon" rifle is fairly strong.
This Is One Of The Best Heist Packs For Payday 2.
Heist
First, The Heist. Big Bank Is One Of The Best Heists. It Is Fun In Loud And Stealth And Has Many Different Approaches Thanks To Pre-Planning (Which This DLC Introduced). You Can Choose To Place Assets Throughout The Map, Pick Between Breaching Methods For The Vault Or Pick A Different Escape Option. This Means You Will Want To Coordinate With Your Team (Unless You're Playing Solo) And This Provides Much Replayability To This Heist. It Also Gives A Good Payout Too.
Weaponry
This Pack Also Provides The Falcon Rifle, Which Works Better As A DMR (AKA Keep The Gun In Single Fire And Only Go For Headshots) As The Gun Doesn't Have A Great Ammo Economy But Otherwise Is A Good Option.
Masks
It Also Includes 4 Masks.
Final Verdict
Overall, This Is One Pack You Should Definitely Get As It Will Provide Hours Of Fun.
One of my favourite hiest, i absolutely love it. Just make sure you select that bus stop escape. or you'll get PTSD from snipers in C4 tunnelling.
The FAL is good, high dmg, high acc and can be modded for good concealment.
Overall: A
Incredible. One of the best heists in the game. The preplanning is great and both loud and stealth are great.
Highly recommended
one of the worst map in stealth ever the weapon is mediocre the loot is boring af i would say don't buy this dlc ever unless you want to feel the urge to break your mouse and keyboard there are way better weapon in game than this dlc give you so yeah you wont regret for not buying this crappy layout map
forced to nbuy it to continue story ... never saw the missing mission on crime.net in 1 week !
It's definitely one of my favourite heists in Payday 2. The pre-planning allows you to have different escapes (thermite or the big drill) which is a nice detail that can change things a bit to avoid boredom. Ode to Greed is an amazing song that merges 2 music genres beautifully and fits this heist like a glove. The whole heist is one of the few in Payday 2 that have such a cinematic feel. Plus you have Giancarlo Esposito's beautiful face blessing your screen right before you press start to play the heist. What else could anyone ask for? I highly recommend it.
Why is that killer Gustavo Fring here?
The heist is fun and very in depth with it's pre-planning system that was introduced along with the heist.
But fuck finding all the computers.
It is an awesome game that is worth the heavily discounted price. Pretty fun all around and it is pretty addictive
I'll be reviewing all the Payday 2 DLC on a x/5 scale in relation to the weapons and heists available as of 2020.
Weapon
Falcon Rifle: 3/5 To put it simply, it's good. Essentially a more-moddable Eagle with mostly identical stats, it's a good fit for any loud build you care to mention. But what about dodge? Or crit? Or even stealth? Here, things get complicated.
All of the unique mods for the Falcon are locked behind achievements. Most of these are fairly easy. But the modifications that allow you you spec this rifle for concealment will make my fellow loud-only players fall to their knees. One requires completing Big Bank in stealth; not bad. Doable in a handful of tries and with some research. But Entrapment. Dear god, Entrapment. After 5 years, dozens upon dozens of tries, and hours of my life wasted, I cannot call the CQB Barrel residing within my inventory worth the pain I have suffered. But if you are insane enough to do what I have done, bump the rating up to 4/5. You've earned it.
Heist
The Big Bank: 5/5 The. Big. Bank. The debut of the Dentist and Preplanning could not have gone better. It's the best bank heist in the game, and certainly still the largest. The assets and escape plans add a multiplicative layer of replayability on top of the randomized vault locations. The payout is also very nice; if you crack all the deposit boxes and grab every bag, this is one of the best single-day heists in terms of loot. Overall this is still one of my favorite jobs in the game. Five years of play and it's still a fun classic.
Two bucks; a good gun and fantastic heist per dollar. It's well worth it.
the single best heist in all of gaming.
Sure, I like a well-constructed heist and a generally highly modifiable weapon.
I think this DLC aged well. The heist is still extremely fun to play, in both Stealth and Loud (I mean, the objectives are similar either way.) The weapon, the Falcon Rifle, has a lot of modifications, though you have to unlock a good amount of them. The masks you get form the achievements look pretty nice, too.
Chicken and meth didnt work out for him so now he organizes heists.
Big Bank heist is my personal favorite. Rewards are good and this heist is fully replayable. Its pre-planning is very expanded and heist is good overall. There is also a new assault rifle that is different than others, wanna modify it with all unique modifications? You gotta get Big Bank achievments, i love and hate this concept since some achievments can be pain the ass.
Easily the second best single heist DLC. Also the origin of Giancarlo Esposito being a main antagonist in a lot of stuff I'm familiar with (yes I played Payday 2 before I watched Breaking Bad), also there's a rifle too. Never used that but bonus weapons never hurt.
best heist ever only beaten by point break hjeists
I found this Heist challenging but overall it is enjoyable.
Extreme FPS drops are normal in the entrance hall.
This is not so bad, but unfortunately this is in an area that is crucial for the heist, which makes the whole thing unnecessarily difficult.
The heist itself is really fun, but even after 6 years, this known bug is not fixed, so I can unfortunately not recommend the dlc.
Edit: I was able to improve my performance MASSIVELY with the following fix (as far as I know this only works with AMD CPUs):
1. start Payday 2 and a heist of your choice
2. tab out of the game and open the taskmanager
3. go to the tab Detal and search your Payday 2.exe
3. right click on the Payday 2 exe and select "Set affinity"
4. Click on OK
This must be done every time the game is restarted.
The non-recommendation still remains as this does not solve the problem, it is only a workaround.
Now this is how to make a great DLC.
It gives you additional playtime value.
There is plenty of stuff to satisfy you.
And it's truly quite fun to experience.
DLC's like this one are always needed.
I will be happy to pay for the quality.
Especially for a heist DLC, It's a must.
And for only 1,99€? That's amazing!
This is one of the best DLC's for real.
I so absolutely recommend this DLC.
And I had to give it a positive review.
Such a nice DLC, It's simply fantastic.
I will always appreciate a bonus heist.
better than playing bank heist gold for the trillionth time
The worst mission I have ever played in my entire life for 1 simple reason there are 6 guards patrolling the vault area which given how small the area is you basically cannot get seen or else trigger a chain reaction of alerts. This is stupid because you need to carry a shitton of bags through that area with rng nonsense guard patrolls.
This DLC is up there with one of my favorites, the idea of robbing the oldest US bank is awesome and for the Payday gang to be the first ones to successfully hit it is mind boggling, the heist has a very cool design to it and just overall has a really great feel for both loud and stealth. The masks it brings also go quite well with the Armored Transport DLC masks sticking with the president masks.
Pros:
- Amazing building and architecture
- Introduced Preplanning
- High payout
- Great with a team
- Stealth and Loud feel satisfying
Cons:
- Upstairs computers are crowded with civilians
- Frame drops are common
- Vault takes a while to breach in Loud
- Snipers appear almost everywhere
8/10
In 2021, the Big Bank Heist is one of the most fun loud heists in the game with a good payout and a good weapon.
The Big Bank was the first heist given by the Dentist, a pivotal character in the story of Payday 2 and played by the one and only Giancarlo Esposito. This heist also introduced pre-planning as a mechanic to help players make a plan rather than hope your assets are in a good spot like a lot of older heists were. This heist is not only one of the most fun but also one of the most theatric heists to date using the very detailed plans from pre-planning coming into shape. It pays very well and also can be completed in stealth with a good stealth bonus on top of that.
The Falcon rifle is amazing modification wise as well. A High Damage AR that can be modded to be highly concealable for crit builds/stealth or very accurate and stable for armored heisters in loud. It's a very fun weapon to use overall and very viable for higher difficulty heists.
I highly recommend this pack due to the variety of ways the heist can be planned out and completed. It not only looks great, but plays wonderfully as well. And you can't go wrong with a good gun on top of it.
If you own the Legacy edition, you own this already. If not, I highly recommend buying it.
ayo its the guy from breaking bad
The Heist is well done, with more variants than most heists even on the loud or stealth.
But having to do painful things for the Falcon Rifle (FN FAL) kinda sucks, as early stealth kinda sucks on Big Bank, so it ends up being painful trying to get things like the CQB stock to make the weapon useable for dodge.
But the heist is rather fun, and the weapon is great for a lot of playstyles if you are willing to go through with the challenge.
Both stealth and loud are tedious. I didn't really want this, it came with the Legacy Collection so I don't really care.
very fun with friends and chaotic as fuk sometimes
The Dentist was a very good addition, the Falcon Rifle is good, the heist is phenomenal and regarded was one of, if not, THE best heist you can get via DLC.
Buy this if you want a good DLC all-around. Good stuff.
its a good heist but at the end when i was putting bags in the elevator a guard saw a bag and i was at 4/4 pagers fml
I play this heist for bubble head bulldozer person
One of the best bank jobs in the game
The heist isn't too bad. The Computer searching segment is made easier if you have a partner.
Pick the right preplanning escape plan and options and you'll make this so much easier.
Between this and The Diamond, this heist is much better with the AI.
9/10
Very good overall. be careful when using the bus escape route, if a cop tries to enter it while your trying to leave to get more loot it can break the hit box and you wont be able to reenter the bank to get more loot.
Along with Point Break best heist DLC.Preplanning is very useful and can change pace of the game.Gameplay is really good both stealth or loud.Masks are ok nothin special and gun is pretty good.
5/5
Yo its the guy from that one show about drugs and stuff
this dlc adds the big bank heist, 1 weapon, 4 masks/ patterns/ materials
the big bank it's a really good and fun heist in stealth and loud
really good dlc
A classic. Easily one of the best heists in the game. Weapon is nice too, even if grinding out the mods can be obnoxious.
you know this dlc is amazing the heist is good i dont know about the weapon but the heist is good
So this was one of the first Good heists. And it's still a really good heist.
Heist: It BIG, it has a bunch of money, it feels ballanced (minus the hallway escape), and the first heist to introduce preplanning, it's really good.
Gun: good but i hate the fact you need to get achivements to unlock more attachments.
Masks: M O N E Y
Overall, really good!

Good heist with a lot of variations .
Hoo boy this ones' fun; it was the first ever heist to use pre-planning, giving you lots of flexibility in how you want to complete it; you wanna do stealth? maybe try the elevator trick escape, going loud? the bus escape is phenomenal, you can also opt for faster vault cracking, and decide where dead drops spawn.
Funny 'los pollos hermanos' man
one of the best heists, the gun is ok but to get mod you need to play way to much big bank
a simple yet complex heist that is a whole lotta fun and loads of replay value
funny breaking bad man haha
buy
My name is Gustavo, but you can call me SUS
my friend saw this and thought it let you play as gus fring
Great heist, good weapon, mediocre masks, decent patterns and materials, Gus from breaking bad!
8/10 get it
It is indeed a big bank. El presidente wasn’t lying. However I miss placed my piggy bank
Very large bank, must agree.
Very fun bank, must agree.
Very cheap bank, not the loot though!
