Master the Big Oil heist in Payday 2 with our comprehensive guide. Learn strategies for both Day 1 and Day 2, including finding intel, securing the engine, and dealing with intense police responses.
Walkthrough
- 1Day 1:
- Locate a safe within the house. The guide author found it on the top floor patio, accessible by climbing a ladder.
- 2Break into the safe and take its contents.
- 3Search the house for optional intel items: Airplane Keys, Keycard, Shutters Codes, Blueprints, Fusion Research, Guard Intel, Scientist Intel.
- 4If you have the Buzzsaw weapon (unlocked at Reputation Level 30), access the garage and find a door leading to a room with multiple ATMs for significant cash.
- 5Escape once objectives are complete.
- 6Day 2:
- Enter the house, preferably from the left side (facing the front), as there are active patrols inside.
- 7Find the security room.
- 8Once the lab is unlocked, sneak inside.
- 9Identify the correct engine by using hints from whiteboards (ensure high texture settings for readability) and the intel gathered on Day 1.
- 10Take the correct engine to the helicopter on the landing strip. Be aware that the engine is heavy and will drastically slow your movement.
- 11If the engine is correct, escape. If you collected the Airplane Keys on Day 1, you can use them for escape.
Tips
- Playing Day 2 on low texture settings is not recommended as whiteboard clues may be unreadable.
- Be prepared for a challenging police response if alarms are tripped on Day 2, including Tazers, snipers, shields, and SWAT units.
- The engine in Day 2 is the only bag that significantly slows the player's movement.
Optional Weapon: Buzzsaw (requires Reputation Level 30 to unlock).
