worse than battleborn, nothing fun about a mindless horde mode, does this shit even have unique enemies? are there really no tools for offensive/defensive options?

There used to be 200 bucks worth of DLC, they've removed it and are replacing it with a 45 dollar season pass, after that, there's a special DLC coming out for 5 bucks, then everything's free afterwards.

The game's still good, people got too angry over the microtrans, if you can't afford 5 or 7 bucks every so often get a new hobby.

Just tried the game. The entire premise is basically stick a drill in a safe for 3 minutes while an infinite horde of swat start swarming in.

Graphics and physics are ps2 tier and the game is simply not fun.

Weapon customization is really deep, allowing for a primarily "loud" weapon to be viable for stealth

Completing a deathwish+ heist is really satisfying
really fun to play with a good set of buddies

Shit community
Repetitive heists
DLC out the ass
a lot of netplay issues (desync was fixed like yesterday but the game is super unstable now)
viable weapons locked behind dlcs

>>379873654
stealth in this game is god-tier, you're either a shitter or playing stealth in pugs which is a deathwish :^)

>>379872184
Then you're not going to enjoy it since most of the heists are DLC.

>>379872243
You've obviously not played on a difficulty harder than normal. There are 6 unique enemies and they have upgraded versions on deathwish or harder.
There are entire builds dedicated to offensive and defensive approaches.

>>379874001
>Best gunplay in a game since ever
This is the only reason i still play and why i want them to hurry with VR support. too many games have shit gun-feel and that's doubly true in VR.

>>379871954
Can you play this game online with high latency? Like if it were an MMO? I thought this game was like some kind of FPS or 3rd person shooter PvP game but apparently all you do is like heists with other players? Killing NPCs? So what was the outrage over skins again? Why would you care if someone has a skin with better stats than you if it's not a PvP game?

new wave mode is alot of fun but you have to know how to play the game really well to get any rewards out of it.

I, too, love DLC platforms.
Oh wait, they removed all the DLC from Steam to resell it in their Ultimate Edition or whatever.

>>379876086
Some skins cost money.

Especially when crates and keys got implemented.
That was what most of the rabble was about.
Then it was a case of people getting boosts and DLC for free.

At this point there's no reason to cry about mods and unlockers since as you said it's a PvE game and everyone is stuck in the grind anyway.

The only type of hack that gets frowned upon all of the time is a hack that spawns infinite artifacts and completely prevents guards from detecting anyone, standing still. Boosting an honest players level from 1 to 100 in a 2 minute mission. That might annoy an honest player.

Sort of like modded lobbies in COD4 back then.

Ohshit I played a ton of Payday 1 and was considering buying it. Think I get the wolf pack from purchasing it with PD1 too. Thanks OP.

>>379876086
They used to be locked in crates with paid keys, the boosts are so meaningless I still don't understand why anyone cared.

Personally I don't see a problem with mods altering the game within reason.

For instance I have a mod that lets me carry multiple bags
4 lightweight bags (coke) or
3 medium weight bags (gold) or
2 heavy bags (bomb parts) before I can't move at all.

>Killing guards that aren't alerted doesn't set off pagers
Answering pager times takes longer and can only answer 2 to balance it

Can carry 2 keycards.

Literally nothing wrong with it and it doesn't really break the game. Since I play solo anyway it gives me a fighting chance on some missions especially when I have a map locked down and all I have to do is carry 20 odd bags from a to b.

I mean I don't use it myself but people cry about the meth helper mod that chats what ingredient to use, someone who knows their shit konws what ingredient to use even when bain fucks up the instructions plus he corrects himself anyway a second or so after. so the mod is literally saving what? 5 seconds per batch?

>>379878424
If you are using mods to get free skins and dlc I don't see a issue with it but what you are doing is straight up cheating.

>>379879152
How so? I've made the game a bit more lenient towards solo play.

It's not like I can breeze through heists, all i've done is made things more interesting. The only one that is questionable is no pagers on stealth kills, but in practice that causes more concern for leaving bodies out and you can't have enough body bags to wipe the map anyway. So you can't just sit somewhere and pick everyone off with a sniper.

Like I said I only play solo so altering stuff to save me a bit of time like emptying the vault on a bank heist when I've neutralised all the guards (even without mods you can do this) and controlled the crowd there's literally nothing in the way of carrying the bags to the van, no chance for alarms, no chance for failure. carrying more bags literally just saves a few trips and time. Fucking hell even golden grin I still need to make at least 6 trips to get everything, as opposed to 20ish becuase i'm playing alone. So I don't really give a fuck, it makes it fairer for me.

>>379871954
I just redownloaded this, I always wanted to do the heists via stealth, but my current gaming group always goes loud and has no patience for it. I might try and solo go bank or something before I get bored.

>>379872315
>game is good
Did they remove the card system to get weapon mods?
Did they fix the bullet sponge enemies at high difficulties?
If not it's still a shit game and one of my biggest buyer's remorse.

Stealth ruined the fucking game.
God forbid you want to do something actually FUN, NO, you crawl your ass on the ground and stealth forever and then restart just because some rando fucked up and got seen.
Fuck PAYDAY 2.

Already done it all legit son. Mods save time. Sure I COULD go back and forth and get another keycard or wait for it to drop in the right place, I COULD run from A to B 20 fucking times without risk or I could do the same as a four man crew could and have all of them ready and do it just as fast.

Nothing to do with being hard.
Stealth is not fun. Stealth is a chore, and everyone's obsession with it sucks all the fun out of the game.

It's a type of in-game currency. You get six for every side job and one for every million dollars you earn from heists.

Skill trees with allocatable points were in the game from day one. Are you sure you know what a build is?

It was worth it the moment i used a cheat to unlock all weapons, make myself a sanic dual pistol setup, enable infinite sprint, and just scream around the map killing dudes like i was in some action movie. This was more than a year ago though, if i can't do that anymore the game is shit. Fucking hell legitimately grinding that game seemed like cancer.

Anyone have the link to the DLC Unlocker?

Guys, GUYS.

Only one question.

Even with casuals?

>>379882120
everything's fun with friends, but pubs seem to have collective braindamage usually

the first 3 difficulties are piss easy and okay rewards

>>379882120
Friends yes

Casuals luck of the draw. If you dont mind the shooty shooty as I did, you might enjoy the challenge of carrying plebs who can't stealth or shooty shooty.

>>379881310
Literally nothing wrong with it.
The excuse for pagers actually going off is that they activate when they hit the ground.

Killing guards still leaves a body to dispose of and you have a max of
2 starting bags
5 with a drop
8 with double bag perk
12 with both perks and a drop

That's still not even enough to take care of shadow raid on normal. It doesn't make the game free especially when you do what I did which is reduce pager count to 2 and increase the time to answer a pager.

It breaks the game alot less than you'd think. Of all those mods I use the 2 keycards one is the most broken and all that does is save time. The game gets more broken actually having another person playing.

>>379871954
The game is stale. They failed to deliver on a lot of promises and failed to make it really meet the expectations from the first game.
That isn't to say there weren't good parts, trolling people with lua scripts was good fun for a long ass time, and the game was actually really fun for the first 2-3 months before the DLC train started rolling and they started rehashing level/layouts over and over again.

The visuals are shit, the gunplay is mediocre and the customization isn't as good as it was touted to be. Stealth is actually retarded easy on most heists and difficulties, so it is often 100% more fun to go loud.

>>379884909
Just the Gage Russian Weapons pack, but during the 85% off sale, it was about $29 for all the DLC.

The Ultimate Edition price will be $45. Going by one of the theories for the dynamic pricing, let's say we remove the price of the base game from $45. That's $25 for the DLC. Don't quote me on this though, but it really should be cheaper if you buy the Ultimate Edition.

What? The only rehashed levels in post-game releases are Santa's Workshop, Meltdown, Cook Off, and Art Gallery. All of them are free and the last two barely even count because they were specifically advertised as standalone days of longer heists. Not as bad as the five fucking H&T bank maps in the base game.

You won't be able to join auto-kick cheater lobbies and a couple of retards, mostly people with infamy that spent $200 on the game, will call you out on having a cheater tag and leave.

Just choke on a DLC cock

is a dodge build judge shotgun build still viable

Also the only reason I stopped playing besides all the dlc which I just unlocked with an unlocker, was every fucking update slowed my shit to a halt, and there was one every few days since, maybe if the updates were smaller it would be fine, but nah gotta add 3gb update for 3 guns and 2 masks
