** The PAYDAY Task Force eventually arrested the Elephant as part of Beyond Yesterday's deal. In doing so, they found a note written by August Lindenhurst (Duke) addressed to someone named Desmond. Seems innocent enough until you notice that [[spoiler: the date on the letter is ''1905,'' and that Baldwin's Lament, a device Bain was looking for, quite possibly has the ability to ''erase time.'' As Baldwin's Lament is in the present day, and there's no indication that the Lindenhurst from 1905 is someone else, something is definitely amiss here...]]

** In the Breakin' Feds update, Duke explains the origin of the Kataru, a secret society that Beyond Yesterday is connected to. To sum it up, thousands of years ago, three kings gathered and made a pact. According to legend, they acquired a magical artifact, which even Duke shows some skepticism at for obvious reasons. [[spoiler:Since the letter in the Elephant's office heavily implies that PAYDAY's version of our timeline has been tampered with or will be in the near future, it's likely Duke is bluffing and the legends are to be taken at face value. Bain ''really'' kicked the hornet's nest looking for Baldwin's Lament.

* [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Jacket]]'s trailer. This is the MookHorrorShow in its purest form: [[TheDreaded Jacket]] strides through a room filled with dead cops and casually kills one with his SMG. The only one left alive, a Cloaker who's been handcuffed (and who, did we mention, is ''[[TearsOfFear audibly sobbing in terror]]'')? He gets executed with a hammer to the skull.

** Jacket in particular is a silent protagonist in ''Hotline Miami''. [[SilentAntagonist He works around this by carrying a tape recorder with various spliced-together clips from educational language tapes with appropriate audible wear and tear]]. It's a very unnerving effect, and that's also accounting for the threats in the non-English clips.
** [[NightmareRetardant The creepiness gets sucked out]] if you're using the "Microsoft Jacket" modification, though. But it changes back to NightmareFuel as Jacket is even more [[BloodKnight bloodthirstier]] and [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] than he is in Vanilla.

** [[TheWorfEffect Beyond Yesterday is strong enough to believe that they could take on The Elephant with the FBI's help.]] Just so you know how powerful they seem to be.
** There's also the fact that Garrett's alliance with the syndicate is legally seedy and could put his values and his occupation on the line (if The Elephant ever got arrested, he'd look corrupt in the eyes of the public thanks to his good PR.)

* [[GlassCannon Cloakers]] are able to ambush and instantly kick you down by rushing you and pouncing while emitting [[HellIsThatNoise a whistling, electronic screech.]] [[JumpScare This will certainly catch you off guard if you are not paying attention]]. Playing on some Christmas-themed levels like White Xmas makes this even worse by ''not'' [[NothingIsScarier making their trademark sound]], instead giving them a Christmas jingle that's extremely hard to hear over all the gunfire, shouting, and music (although the upshot is that these versions of the Cloaker also have obvious Santa hats over their helmets, which may lessen this effect somewhat when you can see them).
* In the live action trailer for the Hoxton breakout, as pictured above, [[AxCrazy Wolf]] kills a bulldozer by [[EyeScream drilling him in the eyes.]] That in itself would be bad enough, but the whole time Wolf [[LaughingMad is whooping like an absolute psychopath.]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards Notably, Dallas seems to be caught off guard by this, judging by his reaction.]] So if there was ever anything that could make you feel sorry for one of the bastards, it's that.

It's obvious that VideoGame/PAYDAY2 is a heisting simulator. Not only having some pretty amusing content, but it also has plenty of unsettling stuff out there...



* [[TheCaper The PAYDAY Gang]] themselves to their enemies. It doesn't matter if you're a civilian or a cop. If you see them, [[OhCrap you're screwed]], as they're well prepared to keep you as a hostage or, even worse, kill you during a heist. Even they mow you down no matter how heavily armed you are.



** [[NightmareRetardant The creepiness gets sucked out]] if you're using the "Microsoft Jacket" modification, though. But it changes back to NightmareFuel as Jacket is even more [[BloodKnight bloodthirstier]] and [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] than he is in Vanilla.



--> '''Bain:''' "[[OhCrap Nukes]]?! [[WhatTheHellHero ARE YOU CRAZY VLAD]]?!"



** A creepy part is that Bain's Plan is simply the MadnessMantra "All work and no play makes Wolf a dull boy". The entire page. And it goes past the page too.

* In the live action trailer for the Hoxton breakout, [[AxCrazy Wolf]] kills a bulldozer by [[EyeScream drilling him in the eyes.]] That in itself would be bad enough, but the whole time Wolf [[LaughingMad is whooping like an absolute psychopath.]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards Notably, Dallas seems to be caught off guard by this, judging by his reaction.]] So if there was ever anything that could make you feel sorry for one of the bastards, it's that.

The Necro-Cloaker.

* The Necro-Cloaker himself. He's a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever gigantic]], [[AdaptationalVillainy demonized version]] of the Cloaker unit, who only appears on Lab Rats. He also returns as the [[EvilVersusEvil antagonist]] of the Prison Nightmare heist, where he torments the PAYDAY Gang with his minions and uses the ''Wheel Of Misfortune'' to unleash horrifying effects from [[KillItWithFire burning them to crisp with a Flamethrower]] to using [[ThisIsADrill two drills to shred them into tiny pieces.]] If you're lucky enough, the wheel will end up in the "Keycard" effect, causing the Necro-Cloaker to [[BerserkButton rage.]]

** [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Jacket]]'s trailer. This is the MookHorrorShow in full effect: Jacket walking in a room filled with dead cloakers and casually kills one with his SMG. The one who was heard crying? He gets hit by a hammer that the killer picked took from a table.
*** Jacket in particular is a silent protagonist in Hotline Miami. He works around this by carrying a tape recorder with various spliced-together clips from educational language tapes with appropriate audible wear and tear. It's a very unnerving effect.
** Meltdown, if not due to just the cargo itself, due to Hoxton Revenge showing that [[spoiler:Vlad is seen as completely harmless by the FBI while he's able to arrange a theft of ''six nuclear warheads'']].
** The Safehouse Nightmare. Where do we begin?
*** The fact that it's extremely dark.
*** The heist description is simply "Wake Up."
*** A [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Witch]] can be heard crying. Unconfirmed reports claim it is a real NPC that can actually kill you if you startle it.
*** Drilling the safe in the front starts a huge fire, and it simply says "Save your money!" in the objective box. This is done by drilling three safes and escaping. Three issues with that:
*** If you do it before activating the drill, then no money will appear.
*** Several Cloakers rush the building IN COMPLETE DARKNESS.
*** By far the worst part: When you have taken down one cloaker, a bulldozer rushes in. Shooting its head a couple times will make its head blow off. It. [[InvincibleVillain Keeps.]] [[LosingYourHead Moving.]] And it will never stop attacking. So, now you're against a Witch, an army of Cloakers, and an invulnerable headless Dozer. And a fire.
*** A creepy part is that Bain's Plan is simply the MadnessMantra "All work and no play makes Wolf a dull boy". The entire page. And it goes past the page too.
** While the Film/HardcoreHenry Pack Trailer is balls-to-the-wall hilarious, there is a very scary moment in the beginning. [[BigBad Akan]] is trying to hire Dallas, who flirts with one of the girls serving him. The Elephant, acting as Akan's liaison, mentions seeing him do terrible things. Dallas says he wants to see one. Akan's reaction? Psychically OneHitKill the girl he was flirting with. She even slides along the floor with a massive streak of blood, [[EvenEvilHasStandards as Dallas stares horrified.]]

* Cloakers have a habit of sneaking up on you and leaping at you while a very loud electronic screech plays. [[JumpScare This will certainly catch you off guard if you are not paying attention]]. Playing on some Christmas-themed levels like White Xmas makes this even worse by ''not'' [[NothingIsScarier having that screech]], instead giving them a Christmas jingle that's extremely hard to hear over all the gunfire, shouting, and music (although the upshot is that these versions of the Cloaker also have obvious Santa hats over their helmets, which may lessen this effect somewhat when you can see them).
