A group dedicated to the few who completed The Secret in both Payday:The Heist and Payday 2

If you are here, that means you've completed the Counterfeit Secret ARG event that ended on December the 10th in 2012 and completed the Payday 2 ARG Ending. Group is NOW Closed!


The Grand Prize consists of two things;
1) The Secret Masks in both games
2) A message from Bain

The masks are unlocked by:
1) being in this group
2) having the achievement.


We require VIDEO proof of completion in Payday:The Heist containing these parameters:

The challenge must be completed on the Overkill 145+ difficulty.

The drill must take two hours to finish.

All gold must be taken from the overvault.

The heist must be completed successfully.

All players must be alive at the end (team AI is excluded).

All players must wear a golden mask (team AI is excluded).

All players must record a video of full secret run completion.

All important moments must be shown on at least 1 video. These include triggering the overdrill, setting up the drill with a 7200s timer, taking ALL gold and escaping. Different moments may be on different videos (for instance if different players set the drill and enter the puzzle code).

The videos have to be available on a video sharing website such as YouTube. You should post links to both the videos and the crew members’ steam profiles on my Steam profile.

After successfully completing the challenge in compliance to these rules, a join request should be made on the PAYDAY: The Secret Steam group.
The videos should be still available after getting into the Secret group.

If you are using YouTube, you can set it to access by link or only available for me if you don't want them to be public.



Any and All mods. Must be done on Vanilla version of both games. (except the 2 hour timer add-on for PD:TH)

Cheating and abusing bugs/glitches including using god spots like sitting under the table in manager’s room (in the Beta version) or inside bags.

It's hard to describe the line where it becomes unacceptable but let's say if the tactic bases on using god spots i'll certainly reject the run.
Interactions through the walls ARE allowed.
Having a drill timer that takes less than 7200 seconds, even if you wait the full 2 hours before entering the overvault.

Using any mod that changes the gameplay (for both host and clients).

To make it more clear, the following features are NOT allowed on the secret run:

- Hitmarkers
- Enemies Health bar or any enemies indicator
- Enemies counter (the amount of alive enemies on the map)
- Dot, crosshair or any other weapon sight during bleedout
- Assault timer if it counts down to the exact time.
- Free flight camera
- Scripts for the suicide
- Disabling smoke effects

Changing weapons, crew bonuses, perks or deployables while rejoining the lobby.

Having VAC bans or strange Payday stats.
