Undercover now in Payday 2?
I may not be first to think this but in Payday 1, Undercover was set in Washingotn D.C. The entire system in Payday 2 is in the same city if I am not mistaken. Overkill talks about rare missions and I think this may be one. What if there is a Rare overkill mission that pops up on that location where if everyone is wearing a "[Character]" Mask with a gold colour (or bronze knowing it is a rare colour), an event occurs.

This event requires co-ordination and skills form each tree like 3 pager uses, hand cracking safes, the Ove9000 saw and ECM to bypass keycard doors due to there being no keycards. Think about it. There was something off with that mission and has a secret inside it still. If we solve that, maybe we'll be closer to the Payday 2 secret. Maybe there was never a second secret in Payday 1 but they waited for Payday 2. This could make sense since the mission was set in D.C. and the developers were saying things about the map SET IN D.C.

And ideas for or against?

Wow. Would Overkill really put such a huge and complicated thing in their game?

So large, they had to extend it over two games? I know that there is a high chance the secret on Undercover is in game 1. But the first secret would surely lead off it. Why would they purposely reference it in a pre-order gift otherwise? The answer to sell more copies of the original is valid except people who pre-order a SEQUEL at the HIGHEST tier edition usually have the fist game.

Call me a fool or an old man fanatic but there is still stuff out there unknown. There are so many rocks left unturned in Payday 1 and that displeases me. If Overkill was sly (which they are), they would link everyhting together in a way that makes sense ONLY when you know everything.

Interesting, however there was the announcement stating there was still 2 unconvered secrets, before all this hubbub with pd2 started. Would they state that theres still 2 things to find, when people couldnt find it for about another year?

I have been leaning towards then trying to tell us there are still stuff to be found in Payday 1. Lately I have been going back and looking over everything again to see if there is anything I didn't notice before. The big thing that makes me think this is the four pictures of the Safe House that are all from Counterfeit. Two of the pictures are of Undercover. It just seems too blatant to me.

on another thread that i left because it was full of trolls and bad leads, Almir actually popped on and gave his typical ";-)" when these photos were brought up. also someone had mentioned about a blinking light within the room with the server on Undercover (Payday 1). His wink could have been about either of these. Many went off on a mad "morse code" theory that went no where over the span of two weeks, also uncovering mass blinking lights everwhere. But one thing for sure, those photos in PD2 of the stairwell over that couch in PD- Undercover means something.

EDIT:added URL to page in topic that Almir commented on

I just loaded up PD1 Undercover (Overkill difficulty) and ran to the spot where I believe the following picture is taken from.

The only strange thing I noticed was the sound of someone knocking on wood nearby every now and then. Maybe run it through a spectograph? Or analyze it for morse code?

All four pictures from above the laptop in the Safe House can be found in Counterfeit. The stairwell picture is taken from the right stairs on Undercover and from what I saw can be found five places on Cuunterfeit with one of those pictures being upside down.

Also the bright motel sign on Undercover stands out too much for me. I could just be a funny thing they threw in, but who knows. The only clue I could see it representing thiough is that whatever secret there is will only work when the computers are on the bottom floor.

it's not a coincidence - the computer screens that show when you're hacking the IRS files have the hexcode for different shades of magenta (among other colors). The motel sign is magenta and has an arrow on top of it pointing at where to look. Either the room right next to it or the Teninga&Co building across the street

I have been racking my brains about Undercover for a while now and i honestly believe these clues are to help us solve the "other" PD1 secret as they want them solved before moving on.

Now i did help find some random lights flickering and there are still a few to be checked. However i thinks its possible to have clues on other maps (as the FWB secret was solved on other maps) so im also searching them as well. (altho mainly seaching undercover)

Ill keep you posted on any updates.

I think this is exactly right. I think that until the undercover mystery is solved, Overkill won't be giving us any hints regarding PD2. While there may be enough info in game already to start a lead, they still want us to finish the PD1 ARG before we start the 2nd
