So this idea I have been having for a while and only recently I have managed to think of the forms of this idea out. Since Overlord asked how do we do Payday game mode (shown here in my blackmail image), I might as well write it here since there are too many people in Dchat for me to communicate the idea properly.

Admemes, if you have a better idea to improve on the form of this Game Mode, feel free.
Here's how the idea is: The Xenos are to carry out the Heist while the Marines are the Guards. Yes you read that right, no unga...that comes later.
The Xenos prize heist is the QUEEN HERSELF! The Queen will be invulnerable and is unable to de-ovi. But the queen can still heal and set leaders. My reason being that having a Queen at the back-end causes issues to the heist:
- Xenos will get limitless number and will slowly eat up marines forces like an FOB. This will turn a heist that is meant to have stealth elements into an all out war. Like any other CM matches.
- Marines will no doubt attempt to unga into the darkness to look for the queen for easy kill, thereby ending the game or causing complications. This forces the marines on a defensive.
- Queen will screech her way in if she De-ovi. Where's the stealth in that. And she's loud. LOUD!
So Xenos have to make their way into the facility(any map or a specially made map for this) where the Queen is kept. They are given a set number of eggs to use with and have to sneakily attempt to bypass the defences by slashing APC/Cades/Sentries/Alarm Systems/CCTVs and the like(any bonuses you boys wanna add). Once they get near the queen, they need to do a few things. At the moment I can only think of 2:
- Free the Queen to allow her to De-ovi at her choice
- Disable the alarm(This has to be tricky to accomplish and it is easy to mess up)
After that the Xenos must make their way to the Dropship without the alarm being sounded or alerting the marines. The mission ends when the ship launches the DS and leaves the planet with the DS.
Stealth, if accomplished successfully, should be a no issue and only proves that marines are bald or xenos are really good/lucky.
But loud is where the fun is.
If the alarm has been sounded, marines get waves of spawn every set number of minutes and will keep coming after the xenos just like the actual Payday game. Xenos will then have to fight their way to the DS and have their Queen avoid capture.
This would be a tricky problem for xenos, however like Payday you get to have bonus prizes. In addition to the Queen, Xenos can free other powerful Xenos, such as: Ancient T3s & Hidden Predalien(or Predaliens if you wanna make it intense).
This is where it gets fun cause:
- Rines have the joy of fast building cades and ungaing into Queen
- Xenos have to Unga to DS for victory
Seeing as the Xenos have been kicking Rine butts lately cause of Marine's great FF abilities, you could mix the ERT a lil by sending PMCs or UPP or Deathsquads(Bulldozers) as the guards or reinforcements. New Marine reinforcements will have to deploy via DS2
However, to make it more stealth friendly, I think Xenos need the following:
- Xeno Vent crawling sounds volume reduced or play if they walk 4 tiles consecutively without stopping
- Combat Hug has to be like silent or some kind of silent takedown must be allowed.
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, you must play the Payday 2 soundtracks, good one. If you want only one, just play this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS7wn7Zu_As.
