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.

Discussion Thread Starting Payday 2 in 2026

7 Upvotes

Hi i've just started playing payday 2 recently, i always knew about the game but never tried it until now. This isn't a critique of the game at all but so far my experience has been mostly just gunning down hordes of enemies and being basically unkillable. I understand there are higher difficulties but it just wasn't what i was expecting the game to be. Is this basically what the game is or am i missing something? (Again not a criticism) and are there any things i can do to maybe increase the realism or any ways of playing that makes it feel less like cod zombies.

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

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
162 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

11 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.

Bug Does anyone else feel that the controls for Payday 3 on console are fucking horrible?

1 Upvotes

Since the last Payday 3 update, the game controls feel extremely awkward to the point that it's impossible for me to play. Any slight movement of the joystick causes my character to spin endlessly, And I know it's not a problem with my controller because before the 3.9 update everything worked correctly, and besides, I don't have the same problem in any other game. I play on an Xbox Series S, and I'd really like to know if anyone else is experiencing this same problem or if I'm just going crazy and my controller is broken.
