4. The Challenges are Almost Endless.

This is my nightmare.

There are no lack of ways to challenge yourself. Normal, Hard, and Very Hard difficulties can be considered the natural progression of learning to play the game – the modes you move through as you gain levels, skills, and gear. Overkill mode is that first step outside of your comfort zone, and where communication and planning become mandatory. You and your group will need to be on top of your game. Meanwhile, Deathwish is exactly what you'd think it would be. Who doesn't dream of kiting a parade of bulldozers around downtown? Add Pro Job onto any heist from Hard to Deathwish, and the pain just got upped that much more. Bulldozers become Skulldozers, normal breakable security cameras become indestructible Titan Cams.

And when normal game challenges aren't enough, go for harder achievements. Is the Hoxton Breakout job on Overkill and above no longer challenging enough? Grab your friends and go in with 0 skills, wearing only your suits, and using only two very specific weapons for Tabula Rasa (warning: you may not still be friends when it's over). Maybe punch a Bulldozer to death with boxing gloves during an Overkill mission for Knockout! (nothing could possibly go wrong), or try killing a leaping Cloaker with a grenade launcher for Not Today. Good times.
