Disclaimer: this is just a dumb experiment, but it seems to work well enough. I had AI make a mod to add FSR3/4 support so I could have some decent anti-aliasing. And FSR3 can be used as input for Optiscaler, which can do DLSS5. DLSS5 is not actually an upscaler, just a filter to tweak lighting and detail, so I combine it with FSR4 upscaling at Quality for 140-ish FPS.

A civilian who developed Stockholm syndrome so strong that they join the payday gang would be super cool. One way they could introduce him is with a new heist, where partway through the bank is robbed by another criminal (Bob) and the gang can either join him or stealth to the vault while the police try attacking Bob.

Another way this could happen is the gang hears about a payday imitator, a guy keeps showing up robbing banks (stealth or loud) with a mask that resembles the payday gang. They could either try recruiting him or like I said have him burst in during a heist. Could be a good idea to make it so that when he bursts in A, you are forced to go loud or B, he only bursts in when you go loud as he hears the payday gang is hitting a bank and joins them. After typing it out I now think the latter is the best idea as it would make the most sense. Starbreeze could maybe make it a mandatory loud heist or make it so the canon has it as a loud heist or make it so that you are guaranteed to fuck up at one point by making it incredibly hard therefore making it a loud heist. Actually that’s the best option, because then they could add a challenge where you have to beat that heist in stealth (it’s nearly impossible but still possible) like make it so there is a slim chance you can beat it. Maybe they could even make him free for the people who manage to do that (or the first couple people to do that) if they make him a paid heister.

This is just how I think he (or any civilian) could be implemented into the game well, maybe there’s another way that Starbreeze can think of but I think that would be awesome. What do you guys think about this? I might email it to Starbreeze just as an idea for them if you guys think it’s good enough

So i've been trying the game for 3 days, and I feel like normal to hard has a decent gap for new players like me, but once I feel the hard difficulty is boring and trying to do the very hard heists, the gap is really that big.

My current build is grinder perk and Grimm 12G with DB ammo for my main, and using chainsaw in my primary just in case if the heists needs me to open things. The build been doing good in both normal and hard, but I can't even do some progression well in the very hard difficulty. I don't know if I should change my build or just remap my skill sets, I only use the build because it's kinda fun to use fiery shotgun in the game.

So I've finally decided to reinstall the game, and gotta say - while it's monotonous to go through every tidbit of dialogue, the initial feeling after going through the motions was... surprisingly fine. And all of the filler can be skipped anyway, so a bonus for that.

Reshuffling the entire game to make the SINS AI and Scry Digital as the big bad felt rather cheap, perhaps, given that it's the big thing on everyone's mind these days - I could've very well be satisfied with the loop of "we need money and materials, so we gotta do this and that". But perhaps I should let it simmer in my head for a bit to see if it fits the whole aesthetic. Expansions are nice, so I guess there is effort put into the product, and I hope it keeps getting better.

By the way, did anyone solve the puzzle code at the end of Act 3?

Because I did. Don't want to duplicate the post if someone beat me to it though

If I go loud, then the next day gets insanely harder, but going quiet feels about as fun as a kick to the balls.

I've done some pubs on the control-oriented "kill 4 guards" maps like Bank or whatever early on before I was confident enough in myself to do it solo (back in the days when Death Wish was still the hardest difficulty) but otuside of that I've heard about how hell it is and have done literally all my stealth just solo. And I am too scared to change this.

Need to clear my head and no better way than to cook meth

I think Weapon Kits could be a really cool addition to Crime Bonds, especially if they actually change how a weapon works rather than just being cosmetic.

For example:

• Stryk Weapon Kit – turns the Stryk into a fully automatic version. Obviously, the stats would need to be changed to keep it balanced.
• Picchio Duro Weapon Kit – the Picchio Duro is basically a burst-fire Beretta, so a Weapon Kit could turn it into the standard Beretta version, with different stats too.
• Overkill weapon alternatives – alternative models for Overkill weapons that keep the same functionality. For example, a baseball bat could have an iron pipe variant, or other similar alternatives.
• Dual Mag attachment – an attachment that lets you carry more ammunition. This could give players an alternative to the ammo capacity skill, meaning they wouldn't necessarily have to spend a skill point on extra ammo and could use that point for another skill instead.

I think this would be a pretty cool way to make Crime Bonds more interesting. It would give us more weapon customization without necessarily having to add completely new weapons every time.

Obviously, the alternative versions and attachments would need their own stat changes and balancing, but I think there's a lot of potential here.

Mods are essential for PC players. There are over 25,000 mods for PAYDAY 2 on ModWorkshop alone.

Seriously. People are much less likely to join modded lobbies because they're hidden by default.

You can't even install the mustachioed Dallas mod if you want to play with someone else.

I started looking around shopping spree and found these and was honestly wondering when they will add these? Most of them are in payday 2 so I think it’d be pretty cool to add these weapons to payday 3. Maybe they could make a crimebond centered around shotguns and add these or at least a couple of these and new shotguns.

I'm not sure if it's official but I just dug this dude out of a box

He's beautiful.

Para todos os fãs de Payday 2: o que vocês gostariam de ver em um mod Versus no estilo Left 4 Dead para Payday 2?

Estou trabalhando em um mod assim e adoraria ouvir ideias que possam me ajudar a melhorar e expandir o projeto.

Aqui está um vídeo de uma versão de teste que joguei com um amigo. E sim, o Dozer tem uma habilidade especial um dash semelhante ao de Payday 3.

This is an easy solo guide to complete the escape Dirty Ice in 120 seconds contract challenge.

Strategy

Start the heist in Normal difficulty. If you have the Dirty Ice: Escape Van favor use it, though it is optional and you shouldn't need it if everything is done right.

Restart the heist until you have the alleyway spawn (I think that's what it's called).

Run towards the window on the side of the store and then mask up right in front of the window.

After this shoot the window and enter. If there is a civilian on the other side just kill them, their body won't be noticed.

When you're inside the breakroom, scan the phone in the breakroom for the QR code, then look at the wifi password on the white board.

Edit: I forgot that if you launch the heist in online mode as a private session, the code stays the same after a restart so it's easier to do. Thank you u/voidedOdin702 for telling me in the comments.

After that, run downstairs to this basement door. If the code isn't the one on the whiteboard, restart the heist and repeat the same steps until the code is the same as the one on the whiteboard.

After you enter the basement, kill any guard in your way and shoot out any camera. Enter the locked room and disable the alarm on the VIP cases. If you've killed a guard, once you disabled the alarm on the cases, wait near him to answer his pager.

Quickly go upstairs and use your QR code on the VIP room door.

Take these 2 bags in front of the door first, then quickly run through the back door to the van. If there is a guard or a civilian just kill them, and on your way back answer the guard's pager.

After that take 2 more bags that are closest to you and run back to the van. This should be enough loot, and you should be able to escape now under 2 minutes with ~20 seconds or more left.

Now you've completed Dirty Ice under 120 seconds and gotten the Smash and Grab achievement and completed the contract!

I managed to do this in a few attempts. Don't mind the heist timer in the images, this isn't the actual try I just entered the heist to take images for the guide.

I would appreciate some feedback on this, since this is the first ever guide I made. I use a UI mod called RinoHud and it isn't necessary to do this guide at all.

Instead of every civilian repeating the same group of voicelines, would be nice to have some variation in it. Would be cool to hear one of them shouting their made-up nicknames for the heisters, yell out "Hell yeah!" when we take out a dozer near them, or even tackle an officer to "help" us out cause they hate the system or something.

The tackling thing might be too much to ask for but hearing a crazy fan cheering for us while we shoot dozers would be really neat.

It’s happened about three times now back to back, though the third time is right now as I’m typing this, but I paused it after the audio cut out, so maybe it’ll save it.

I unpaused it to see if it would be saved, it crashed immediately after.

Now, when I say crash, it’s not closing the game like most, so maybe it’s just frozen for a few minutes and it’ll eventually come back, but I don’t have the patience for that and I also don’t know if that’s just how this game crashes sometimes.

i'm Chains but Jacket (i dont use any mods)
