how to start OVERDRILL
I'm in the right position, but the overdrill doesn't start
I'd like a supplementary mod to start overdrilling

Avatar

are you doing it with a full team? everyone in correct positions?
make sure no one steps past the desk into the pre-vault room, where you plant the thermite, that voids overdrill

Avatar

Of course.
Even though it looks to me like all four of you are in the right place.
I can't get the overdrill to start.

sometimes it takes a little bit of shifting around in your spots to work, and make absolute certain that no one steps beyond the front desk, into either of the two little hallways that lead into the vault area, as that prevents overdrill from happening.
activate overdrill first, then plant the thermite.

@smileyflux I thought all the four people had to do was stand in the right place, facing the right direction, for a certain amount of time, but have there been more conditions?

no new conditions between pd:th and pd2, no
have all 4 players standing in their respective positions, facing the correct way for a certain period of time without breaking the cameras, on death wish or above
but i can't stress enough that anybody stepping past the front desk will prevent overdrill from happening, so communicate this to your team, if anybody steps beyond the desk, restart

@smileyflux In multiplayer I have done overdrill dozens of times and there was no such limitation. I was able to start the overdrill even after the vault was liberated.

in my experience if anyone steps beyond the front desk, afterwards even if all four players are in the correct positions we couldn't start overdrill, so it's better safe than sorry

@smileyflux I see. I understand.
Thanks for the advice.
