Stealth enemies

Stealth in Payday 2 is a complex system that is heavily governed by its own rules and functions, many of which are map-specific. Changes to this mode are difficult because so many of its systems are map-dependent, with a change to improve the play of one map may completely break many others.

Base game stealth enemy types

Crackdown includes the following stealth enemy types found in the base game. Unless otherwise noted, during stealth gameplay, these enemies largely operate in the same manner as they do in the base game.

• Beat police
• Gensec guards
• Criminal guards
• Criminal guards w/pagers
• Murkywater troopers

Crackdown stealth enemy types

Crackdown also includes a pair of stealth enemy types planned for use in current and future Cracked heist edits. These enemies substantively change elements of stealth gameplay. To avoid potential conflicts with base game functions, these enemies only appear in edited heists.

G-Men

G-men, or Gensec Sentinels, are a Crackdown-exclusive guard type that appear in Cracked heists on the Crackdown difficulty.

Guard Dozer

Guard Dozers are a Crackdown-exclusive enemy that will appear in future Cracked heists on the Crackdown difficulty.
