So I'm thinking about getting this game, but I saw that there's an ultimate edition out. How is it? Does it add a lot of content to the game? Is there still a sizable player base or will I barely be able to find 3 other players?

You'll find plenty of BRs playing. So no, you won't be able to find 3 people.
It doesn't really "add" anything, it's just a compendium of all the major DLC released to date (excluding some of the timed stuff that was only available for a short period).
You won't be wanting to find a game, but playing with pubs is very much hit or miss.

Make sure you you have 3 other friends to play with, otherwise doing stealth missions will be impossible.

why didn't you get it when it was free?
>Does it add a lot of content to the game?
Yes, at this point like 70% of the content is DLC - if you haven't gotten the game yet, I'd recommend getting the Ultimate edition.
>Is there still a sizable player base or will I barely be able to find 3 other players?
The game got recently given out for free and got a massive surge of players. At least 40k online at all times.
Pubs are completely okay, unless you're playing stealth which requires better coordination. Though I've played plenty of stealth heists with high ranking randoms and it goes well if everyone knows what to do.

Did know that happened.

What type of DLC, like more missions or something? Weapons? Characters?

I do not have three friends to play with.

I see.

Nice, this was a big factor.

You don't have to get the DLC to play heists if you join a game instead of hosting yourself. But lots of characters, perk decks, weapons, masks are locked behind DLC. That's a shitload of content. Some of it is borderline mandatory (like the weapon mod DLC).
>>384195161
The DLC includes weapon packs, characters and their bundled perk decks (play styles), Heists, and the various cosmetics that came with the packs. You can't use characters, weapons, or perk decks that you don't own, but not owning a heist just means that you can't host it, you can still own someone else's lobby who is hosting it.

Okay, I see. Well, might as well get ultimate edition, then. Thanks for the insight, fellas.
Ultimate Edition adds guns, characters, masks, some switchable perk decks that affect your ability loadouts and playstyle, and the ability to host some premium heists.
While it's still possible to make weapons for the highest difficulties, it's much easier with DLC. Also great game for gun porn.
You won't be hurting for players, since the giveaway it reached top 10 played on Steam but don't trust stealth with randoms.
Not OP but I got this during the giveaway and wondering, is it worth the download to play by myself? I've had quite a bit of fun playing KF and L4D2 by myself for example, a good way to kill some time when I got nothing else going on.
