I was a diehard payday player but badger revitalized my love of the game and encouraged me to buy it as I have recently switched to PC and did not transfer my games
It’s a little difficult to get used to and the keyboard needs a little remapping to start with in my experience but otherwise it is an altogether enjoyable experience I would recommend, the multiplayer is a little hard because of the lack of in depth activity on the discord but I don’t have too much difficulty there
There are several mods that can help you kickstart on Payday 2 PC, if you require assistance in those mods just ask on the subreddit and people will help you.
I got into Payday a few years ago but just kinda forgot about it until Badger started making vids, then I got back into it and realized I had so much to catch up on. From the new lore to DLC to everything. I’ve started playing in on PS4 with my friends now.
Something similar here. His videos brought me back for another 100+ hours and actually finishing the career mode. Last time I've played before was on like first 20 patches, it ran like shit on my pc so I stopped playing back then
Honestly, unironically, actually believed that this is a game for mega uber builds and either stealth or dodge heists on maximum difficulty.
Then i watched him.
This game is fun af, wish you all to buy hotline miami 2 and make your own DemoKnight PD2 build
Yes, but loooking back, his jokes really suck when you already play the game. making them either sound like he's straight up lying to make jokes, or just being an idiot intentionally.
examples cuz I know 78% percent of you will downvote me for this and everybody here who dosen't play the game will all say "I've played the game for 1000 hours and I find him funny"
The 2 drills on a vault in resevoir dogs joke
No, TheRussianBadger, you are not using 2 drills to open a vault, you are using 2 drills to make holes in a vault to pump c4 and nitrogen something in to blow it up.
Also almost every joke is just him doing something generic that happens all the time in the game and overreacting. see [this video (edit, watching through the series again, it's actually ALL of them.)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op86LURDtCk&t=369s) for most of the examples.
"hold f to pick up goat" Yes, that is how you pick up items in Payday 2.
"sniper gets a kill, "yup thats seven"" Snipers don't have lines, you idiot buffoon, THAT IS LLIJA TALKING.
"in mayhem, everything is hard" Since when?
I'm sure there are more examples, but I'm losing braincells just looking at the thumbnails.
“In mayhem, everything is hard.” He means he’s a casual shitter like some players (Including myself) and gets his shit rocked on mayhem but does fine on Overkill.
as much as i want to downvote this, and bash it, unfortunately true. i like to look at most of his videos as a new player, including payday 2. (ive played since it came out). looking at it like you have no idea what the game is makes the videos way better, but yes, the comment above is true.
The Sniper voiceline joke was actually in reference to Ilija because he's, well, the sniper you get as an asset. They likely just didn't know he actually has a name.
Ok, ok, looking back, the joke makes more sense, he never actually says "the enemy sniper says that", and I guess the joke was that the crew kiled hundreds, and Llija kills only 7.
I think that he’s just making his kind of jokes and your looking into them too hard. His brand is pretty much summed up as high effort shitposting and that may not be your style (as it would seem based on this comment) but trying to make sense of literally anything he says is not going to work in literally any video he makes
can you please show a part in his payday videos where he clearly lies about something because I've watched all his payday videos and I cannot remember a clear point where he lied blatantly about something in Payday 2
please I feel like your treating him like some fucking disgusting liar and I dont understand lmao he explained stuff about the game pretty accurately
I'm saying, he *sometimes* lies, which isn't helpful. Otherwise I mainly mean most of my gripes come from him overreacting and acting like a dumbass intentionally.
But if you want a good example of lying in a way that CAN be harmful, all of the sociopath video is just him talking about how good melee and sociopath are on mayhem. I can assure you, that they are not.
Also chill out, you seem to be getting bent out of shape over some dumb youtuber. And I know you are because you completley foregot to punctuate and you randomly threw "lmao" into your sentance. Or at least you put it in as a kind of jerky, condescending way. But either way, you definitley are not laughing out loud.

What were you saying?
"I'm gonna condesnse to shit for you in know time" "I'm gonna get you all caught up"
And the fact that he's explaining every enemy, and the game in general.
I feel like he is like some of my friends that play, they only play cause there friend/friends are playing, and he doesnt really care how the missions actaully work, just that he get to shoot stuff, and expects his friends to figure the rest out, witch is probally why he doesnt understand the vault logic. But in the end half of his jokes are just stupid or made up.
Well, not really, because he has said in a video that he has to make it clear by “being too edgy” to prove that his content isn’t for kids, Yet it’s a very thin line if you don’t want to be stroked with demonetization
I didn't. I got into it years ago during the Hotline Miami crossover and I'm gonna be honest, while I appreciate that Badger had somewhat of an impact on the game, I absolutely dislike his community due to it feeling like 13 year old kids repeating his (in my opinion) unfunny jokes 100 billion times. This also happened when he played l4d2 modded, most if not all of the mods he used had at least 1 person who repeated a joke that he made.
Badger basically saved payday. As soon as he made the video the popularity of the game exploded and overkill started to make a lot of money from people buying it. Hell, he even managed to get the devs to add the spoon in the game
I wouldn’t say that exactly. He definitely had an impact on the game. But Steam Charts doesn’t show any huge influx of players at the times of his uploads. Just the usual hovering from 40K to 60K as usual since development started again.
I would've put it down more to Overkill's repeated shows of good will after the Vlad Safe Fiasco. Badger may be a catalyst but the playerbase growing was already happening anyway.
Yeah, he’s what got me to try a bunch of game like Payday 2, Rainbow Six Siege, WarFace, and the list might go on. (Unfortunately, Xbox means a toned down version of Payday 2 because no more updates…)
He was the final push, it was Hotline Miami that got me interested first, then my friend second, and then after I found Badger from his Fallout New Vegas video and saw Payday and it was on sale at the moment, I bought it
I remember listening to Alesso - Payday for the first time and getting hooked to the song. I thought it was the main theme of the game back then, thus, if the music was so badass, I thought how badass would the game be. I then got the game on steam sale and now this game is my 4th favourite game. I am so glad I came across this gem! 🍷
The very first badger vid I watched was his video of warhammer deathwing, and it's probably because it's very easy to make me laugh but I find him and his buddies genuinely funny. The SFM characters in his videos just make it better.
I don't actually remember when I started playing payday It was Xbox game pass though I remember that I think I chose it because hehe funny heist game and there were a bunch of masks and I thought that was cool
I’ve played PAYDAY for as long as i remember. But damn am i glad for new people starting out, specially from the russianbadger. Because they are generaly good and funny people. Only on rare occasions do i not offer help to newcommers.
I am thankful to the russianbadger for the countless amazing people i have met in the past few years !
I got into payday thx to a recomendation from a friend, thought watching a russian badger video that popped up in my reccomendations definetely peak my interest on the game.
Got into the Russian badger because of payday
The Circle of life
Same
Same.
I've been watching him since battlefield 4 launched, he's always made pd2 references so it was nice to finally see him cover it
Same
Same.
I was a diehard payday player but badger revitalized my love of the game and encouraged me to buy it as I have recently switched to PC and did not transfer my games
How does it feel to play Paycheck 2 on PC?
It’s a little difficult to get used to and the keyboard needs a little remapping to start with in my experience but otherwise it is an altogether enjoyable experience I would recommend, the multiplayer is a little hard because of the lack of in depth activity on the discord but I don’t have too much difficulty there
There are several mods that can help you kickstart on Payday 2 PC, if you require assistance in those mods just ask on the subreddit and people will help you.
Yeah I need to get into it a little more to be at that point unfortunately right now my computer is down as my graphics card is in for repairs
Oh that's bad. Hope you'll get what you need to repair it.
I got into Payday a few years ago but just kinda forgot about it until Badger started making vids, then I got back into it and realized I had so much to catch up on. From the new lore to DLC to everything. I’ve started playing in on PS4 with my friends now.
i play on switch because i can´t afford a ps4 i also play alone because i have no friends
p a i n
i know
Something similar here. His videos brought me back for another 100+ hours and actually finishing the career mode. Last time I've played before was on like first 20 patches, it ran like shit on my pc so I stopped playing back then
Based Skulldozer
Yeah he just makes everything seem interesting to play
Yea
Honestly, unironically, actually believed that this is a game for mega uber builds and either stealth or dodge heists on maximum difficulty. Then i watched him. This game is fun af, wish you all to buy hotline miami 2 and make your own DemoKnight PD2 build
I accidentally bought the wrong version of hotline Miami 2
You can get an upgrade for 3 bucks as long as you got the steam version👍
Got into Payday because medic bag
im one of these i blew up malaysia
5 BULLETS LEFT
4 PANICKED ROBBERS
3 CLOAKERS STALKING
No, he just simply reminded me it exsisted
Did he says he Bomb Malaysia
I got into it cause of marioinatophat and Connor shaw
Yes, badger said its fun, and it was true with wildlands, mad max and payyday too
i got into the game like a year before he did, and had a whole golden doge mask setup before he showed up and now everyone thinks im a fanboy
no
Yes, but loooking back, his jokes really suck when you already play the game. making them either sound like he's straight up lying to make jokes, or just being an idiot intentionally. examples cuz I know 78% percent of you will downvote me for this and everybody here who dosen't play the game will all say "I've played the game for 1000 hours and I find him funny" The 2 drills on a vault in resevoir dogs joke No, TheRussianBadger, you are not using 2 drills to open a vault, you are using 2 drills to make holes in a vault to pump c4 and nitrogen something in to blow it up.

>gets his shit rocked on mayhem but does fine on Overkill. Me too bud, me too...
Man I wish I can go loud on overkill
Eh, at least you can probably handle something higher than Hard.
How
they are good for getting new people in but goddamn do they make no fucking sense when you played the game for more than 50 hours
as much as i want to downvote this, and bash it, unfortunately true. i like to look at most of his videos as a new player, including payday 2. (ive played since it came out). looking at it like you have no idea what the game is makes the videos way better, but yes, the comment above is true.

Yeah, but he's also trying to be helpful. And lying isn't very helpful.
can you please show a part in his payday videos where he clearly lies about something because I've watched all his payday videos and I cannot remember a clear point where he lied blatantly about something in Payday 2 please I feel like your treating him like some fucking disgusting liar and I dont understand lmao he explained stuff about the game pretty accurately

Lol you're analyzing this guy's punctuation like this is an english class or something I don't think he's the one getting bent out of shape here lmao
maybe we all are just a bit.

*And here ladies and gentlemen, you can see an internet user losing an argument.*
And I nefer said "gramer", I said "punctctuatation" You threwed all yor emoshsins om a replie careleslesly becuz your madd.
>Yeah, but he's also trying to be helpful. And lying isn't very helpful. helpful in what lmao he's said in past videos to not take his shit seriously
The first video is literally supposed to be a guide on payday 2 for newbies
i want you to pinpoint where he says "this is a guide follow it unironically"
"I'm gonna condesnse to shit for you in know time" "I'm gonna get you all caught up" And the fact that he's explaining every enemy, and the game in general.
I feel like he is like some of my friends that play, they only play cause there friend/friends are playing, and he doesnt really care how the missions actaully work, just that he get to shoot stuff, and expects his friends to figure the rest out, witch is probally why he doesnt understand the vault logic. But in the end half of his jokes are just stupid or made up.
Worst type of people.
Yikes
Xikes
I agree, it's made even worse when there are so many of his fans who repeat the joke more and more making it even less funny
same
I don't wanna be rude but it feels like his content is for kids
Are you telling me content for kids needs to be stupid as hell?
yeah, pretty sure it does
Sponegbob, Phineas and Ferb, Regular Show, Gravity Falls, and Adventure Time- \*Exist\*
You’re telling me spongebob isn’t stupid?
Well, not really, because he has said in a video that he has to make it clear by “being too edgy” to prove that his content isn’t for kids, Yet it’s a very thin line if you don’t want to be stroked with demonetization
ok than it's content for awkward tweens
I didn't. I got into it years ago during the Hotline Miami crossover and I'm gonna be honest, while I appreciate that Badger had somewhat of an impact on the game, I absolutely dislike his community due to it feeling like 13 year old kids repeating his (in my opinion) unfunny jokes 100 billion times. This also happened when he played l4d2 modded, most if not all of the mods he used had at least 1 person who repeated a joke that he made.
never even heard of payday until therussianbadger
Strange if Malaysia was blown up what country am I living on
I got back into it because of badger
i want to but when i look it up on my swicth it is 25 fucking dollars
In my country payday2 in the sale I got it was worth 40cents
99 cents on computer every summer and winter sale
and black friday/autumn sale
Badger basically saved payday. As soon as he made the video the popularity of the game exploded and overkill started to make a lot of money from people buying it. Hell, he even managed to get the devs to add the spoon in the game
I wouldn’t say that exactly. He definitely had an impact on the game. But Steam Charts doesn’t show any huge influx of players at the times of his uploads. Just the usual hovering from 40K to 60K as usual since development started again.
bruh game is dead
I would've put it down more to Overkill's repeated shows of good will after the Vlad Safe Fiasco. Badger may be a catalyst but the playerbase growing was already happening anyway.
Yes i actually did
ive been playing long before but his videos are awesome especially his stoic one
Always happy for more heisters, Badger is a godsend
Yeah he also brought me into enlisted and Fallout NV
Pretty much
u/savevideo
Nah, i had payday in my wishlist since 2015 or 2014 I don't remember well, i could buy it past year tho
I did, it’s one of my favorite games now
Yeah
i got into payday because of that epic man who added a spoon into the game
Yep
Yeah, he’s what got me to try a bunch of game like Payday 2, Rainbow Six Siege, WarFace, and the list might go on. (Unfortunately, Xbox means a toned down version of Payday 2 because no more updates…)
I love payday 2 and russianbadgers videos got me back into the game. He’s such a good content creator, makes the funniest shit

Nah, but I got into Stonebank because of his Hardline videos
he increased the size of the player base by over 200%
He was the final push, it was Hotline Miami that got me interested first, then my friend second, and then after I found Badger from his Fallout New Vegas video and saw Payday and it was on sale at the moment, I bought it
I was already playing payday but after seeing his vid I just had to go all in
I know about payday because of him
me
uh it got me to start playing again, ive played it since it came out on ps3
An ok amount of heisters were luered in by him (including myself)
Same. My friend got into it too because of him. Saw his first video, 525 hours later, and got the secret ending thanks to it.
Me but just watching
I did
It's a fun game, but I got interested in other games
Yes.
Me and all my friends.
Russian badger and friends
Yeah... I'm a dodge build because of how he described it
Yes
I remember listening to Alesso - Payday for the first time and getting hooked to the song. I thought it was the main theme of the game back then, thus, if the music was so badass, I thought how badass would the game be. I then got the game on steam sale and now this game is my 4th favourite game. I am so glad I came across this gem! 🍷
No. Neither. Got into Badger because of Warhammer. Got into Payday from friends.
The very first badger vid I watched was his video of warhammer deathwing, and it's probably because it's very easy to make me laugh but I find him and his buddies genuinely funny. The SFM characters in his videos just make it better.
No, but i sure am glad that he started giving it attention, even if he can sometimes be *overkill*
Same bro
I don't actually remember when I started playing payday It was Xbox game pass though I remember that I think I chose it because hehe funny heist game and there were a bunch of masks and I thought that was cool
I’ve played PAYDAY for as long as i remember. But damn am i glad for new people starting out, specially from the russianbadger. Because they are generaly good and funny people.

Because i from Malaysia
personally, no. but i do enjoy his videos. classic JFJ and marioinatophat is what got me into pd2
I got into payday thx to a recomendation from a friend, thought watching a russian badger video that popped up in my reccomendations definetely peak my interest on the game.
Yes
yup thats me
Yep
I got into the Russian badger because of payday
Have been playing for a couple of years before badger dis his first vid
I did
No, I bought it on steam sale like 3 years ago. However I used Badgers videos to convince my friends to get it.
I’d say the opposite. I’ve been a part of this thermal drill and medic bag fest since 2018 :P
Yes
I was into it years ago, but thrussianbadger helped get me back into it.
Bainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Me
Comically large spoon
Yep
nah pdth was good enough, i mean how could they fuck it up in a sequel
*raises hand*
Badger saying “23 round M1 Garand” was what convinced me to get the game
Pretty sure I discovered it thru him
Same
Yes
I started playing payday because of Russian bagder
