Just saw this posted on reddit, possibly of some use? Bain mentions the pool explosion in his guide for CCE which seems strange considering the majority of counterfeit runs have no c4...

Big oil has the same pool from Payday 1, where you have to sneak in to get the fusion reactor, it is at the back of the villa, could have something to do with that.

oh nice. maybe have to try to blow the pool in big oil?

Did anyone notice the four pictures above the laptop in the Safe House are all from Counterfit? I found the boat twice in Wilson's basement. The rooftop picture I found once near Mitchel's kitchen. To me it looks like it is from Undercover, but I am not sure. The picture of the tall building I found three times. One instance of the picture by the TV in Wilson's house cannot be knocked off the wall by the player. The stairs are a picture from Undercover showing light beams coming from a wall on the first floor which has no doors or entrance like the other floors do. I managed to find it five times in the map, one of which in Michel's house is placed upside down. I am wondering if there is some significance to these picutres since they seem to have brought them back in Payday 2 and they are all found on the same map originally.

Wish I knew all the stuff that was tested during the original ARG, but has anyone done stuff with the pictures of the stairs? Like have the players stand in front of the four normal ones at the same time and see if a sound plays or something happens to the flipped one.

http://payday.wikia.com/wiki/PAYDAY_Secret_ARG may be of some assistance.

I have read that entire thing multiple times before. Not even a mention of the stairs picture that I can see. I just want to make sure I am not suggesting stuff that was already done before.

no worries, just wanted to make sure. :)

Conspiracy time. I am not totally convinced that the purpose of the second static image which points to Bolivia has been found. I am wondering if it is supposed to be for the secret of Undercover. One static image for each secret. I started looking around Counterfeit again and noticed the map on the table with the compass pointing to Bolivia like where the coordinates are. I also notice it has an abnormally large image of a compass on the map which looks like the same design as the rug compass. Could there be any relation between the compass on the map and the rug?

I looked around from the rug in the direction the compass on the map points to Bolivia to see if there was anything interesting. It points to a half table against the wall with two stripped chairs next to it and a boat picture above it. There could be something farther but I would need another person to help.

Here's a screenshot of the book with the map on the table, referenced above:

The text in the little box on the bottom right corner is nearly impossible to read, but I can tell that the first line says "Scripture", and the rest appears to be in spanish.

I went on Counterfeit earlier on a hunch, following the instructions listed by Pooter, I found the table, chairs, and picture of the boat. When I examined the painting, I noticed that the bow (Or the front part) was pointing left. All it points to another picture of a forest on a wall perpendecular from the boat wall. However, if we go past the wall, all the way to the boundries of the map, is the beach, which is notably dotted with other sail boats, similar to the one in the picture. I'm not sure how useful this information could be, but hey, its conspiracy time.

Question was asked in the Q&A if there was anything left in pd1 or counterfit, received "No comment" This was right after he stated he would have no questions he wouldnt answer or leave a no comment, or i cant discuss this. perhaps thats where we need to start the search
