Timestamps may be incorrect or incomplete, feel free to correct them in the comments.
Only a single original song, all others besides the easter egg one even seem to be unused.
That gramophone track is the same as the stealth track that plays in Athena Savalas' office, only with more grain and filters. It seamlessly overlaps the level music in-game so you won't even notice it most of the time. I could have included it in my custom mix but it sounded out of place, and I would have been out of material for the side tracks vid otherwise.

![[U108.1] Payday 2 - Ukrainian Job, Speedrun Solo Hard, 00:20 GT
I have tried many times but I dont think 19s is achievable. I completed a few runs where the timer last displayed 0:19 but where it was rounded up to 20s in the crew stats. [U108.1] Payday 2 - Ukrainian Job, Speedrun Solo Hard, 00:20 GT](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rO32xw3y6BY/mqdefault.jpg)

![[Former WR] [U192] Payday 2 - No Mercy, Speedrun Solo DS/OD, 00:20 GT (OoB)
Now this run is flawless, and ties the best theoretical time on this map solo. Had to grind for at least 6 hours to get it.
I just CANNOT see how and where you could improve anything, this was nearly human TAS levels of execution. And even with few improvements everywhere the timer would probably get rounded up to 20s.
EDIT: 19s may actually be possible thanks to a closer respawn point I didnt know of that never occurred in my thousand tries. [Former WR] [U192] Payday 2 - No Mercy, Speedrun Solo DS/OD, 00:20 GT (OoB)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/slsZQtLzooc/mqdefault.jpg)

![[U126.1] Payday 2 - Stealing Xmas, Speedrun Solo DW, 05:51 GT
I did it! Sub-6:00 and even an actual perfect run!
Indeed I did no mistake so the only way to save time is going faster than some of my sloppy interactions, but we are talking about only tenths of a second improvements. So yeah, unless you have TAS reflexes, this run is probably not beatable. At least not by more than 2s.
Thats also most likely my last run of this heist, so your sub box is going to have time to rest. :P
Also, fun fact, I only got 4 kills: 3 cops near Santa at the beginning (I managed to miss one), and the civilian in the shoe store backroom.

![[Glitchless WR] [U128] Payday 2 - Scarface Mansion, Speedrun Solo Normal, 03:53 GT
Still a lot improvable with better RNG, the map has so much RNG in it though that you need nerves of steel. [Glitchless WR] [U128] Payday 2 - Scarface Mansion, Speedrun Solo Normal, 03:53 GT](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wnwvNVTb_WA/mqdefault.jpg)
