ALWAYS PLAY WITH A TEAM PUBS NEVER WORK, you cant even play on normal with pubs if you are the host if you dont play stealth people leave if you are a random then the host will leave if it goes loud. IF YOU THINK THAT YOU WILL GET ONE DOWN DONE AT ALL WITH PUBS THINK AGAIN. always play with a group of trusted friends that know and memorise the maps

ALWAYS KNOW THE MAP. if you dont know anything about the map wait and do it on a lower difficulty and memorise the enemy spawns strong points areas where you are easily taken over that will DURASTICLY help you with one down or any difficulty for that matter.

ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER. if one member is surrounded GO AND DO ANYTHING TO HELP if you get him free but you get down that doesnt matter you helped save him and you will be able to regroup and keep going.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE OBJECTIVE if its a collection objective stay in 2 teams one holds the capture zone van, heli, crate anything the other go and collects the items. (only if its mulitple items like money from the vault or other things that i cant remember right now) if its just guarding a drill a terminal any other thing always camp around it SPACING dont stay to close together or you will get destroyed (i couldnt be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to find video or make video proof of this happening but if you have please leave a link for one so i have some evidence)

GET YOUR SKILLSETS MADE CORRCTLY. if you dont even have the most important skills you will be killed and in custody in 5.23535342134 seconds (maybe not exactly that amount of time but you will die fast) There are hundreds of other guides about skill sets that are made for one down go search for those and it will help you a lot

BE LVL 100. all weapons will be unlocked all skill points will be avaliable and have one down skill sets are a necessity have multiple profiles with an enforcer set a medic set and a stealth set always have multiple sets it can be help full

AIM FOR THE F******* HEADS always aim for the heads you will kill all the enimes quickly (faster at least they wont be almost imposible.

if you can stealth STEALTH IT. going loud on a stealthable heist is the biggest mistake you will be saved a lot of panic (sorta wih alerts and cameras) and you wont be constantly worring about health downs and ammo you will only really worry body bags civvis (i can never spell that word right) it will make you feel sorta better that you avoided an uneeded hassle for health ammo and killing tasers (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TASERS)

these are the builds i use in the game these are made around my play style. i play aggresivly i prefer to get downed swan song provides enough time to clear a room of a bulldozer, 2 medics, a couple tazers (always annoying those guys) and 7 heavy zeal operatives. ALWAYS AIM FOR HEADS get high damage

my medic class (in no order or obvious location in the skill tree) partners crime is shortened so it looks cleaner and easier to organise

now if you follow this correctly YOU WONT BE FINDING THIS DIFFICULTY HARD AT ALL i had enough with people saying one down is hard i know its really unfair having enimes that kill you soo fast and you have next to no downs but if you focus it becomes really easy or if you still ♥♥♥♥♥ about it you are un helpable to make it easier for you.

whatever you do NEVER GO PUBLIC WITH RANDOMS ONLY FRIENDS
