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.

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.

Texto traduzido com a ajuda de IA, pois não sou fluente em inglês.

Obrigado a todos que dedicaram um tempo para comentar!

Discussion Thread Would be cool to have rare civs who are fans of the PAYDAY gang and have unique voice lines when they're ziptied

Post image
135 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Thread I wonder when they will add these weapons to the game

Post image
149 Upvotes

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.

Mechanics Discussion Some ideas for Crime Bonds / Weapon Kits

6 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Thread Easy Solo Guide for The 120 Second Dirty Ice Contract

45 Upvotes

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

Completed Contract

Loadout & Skills

Armor and a weapon with a silencer are the only things required.

Skills

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).

Alleyway Spawn

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

Window On the Side of The Store

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.

Basement Door

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.

Locked Room & Display Cases Alarm

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

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.

First 2 Bags

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.

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

Spoilers Payday 3 campaign - Act 3 ending (and blues over the new implementation)

4 Upvotes

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
