- Bonuses ''do'' stack with loadout upgrades, though. Because ammo is at a premium in Payday 1, it's very popular to combine Big Game Hunters with Extra start-out ammo. These skills actually increase your maximum ammo capacity, and also indirectly improve the efficiency of using ammo bags. | - Bonuses ''do'' stack with loadout upgrades, though.

-Lay on Hands is the only hard one of these three to get. It requires gaining a level while the progression bar for picking up your crew member is being filled. The preferred tactic is to work in a team while completing the "Overdrill" to get it, since collecting the gold at the end will give the team several levels. Have one friend go back and collect gold, while another dies in some convenient position. Continue picking them up partway (not completely!) while this happens. | -Lay on Hands is the only hard one of these three to get.

- Noob herder requries that you beat a heist on OVERKILL with three other players who are all using the Noob Lube perk (in other words, the otherplayers need to be level 5 or lower).

To complete this challenge, everyone needs to have to have played the heist from the start. It can be very hard to find a team to do this - try the steam forums. The easiest heist to complete for this challenge/achievement is Diamond Heist, since so much of it can be stealthed, and since it's easy to run from the police. | ||
