K, so I just snagged this game and my buddy (an I-97) rushed me to level 36. Are there any DLCs I should grab or groups I should be joining? The OP says join this group or that, but Im not clear on how, and it says its reorganizing the DLC priorities.

For DLC, it's up in the air, but there are two basic groups of this: Different weapons, or different gameplay choices. Things like the BBQ pack throw in a fire mechanic, while things like historical pack throw in old weapons, for example. Ask about the ones that interest you the most. The rest of us could more easily help you from there

The OP says join this group or that, but Im not clear on how, and it says its reorganizing the DLC priorities. Important DLCs: Gage Mod Courier - gives you easy access to a bunch of mods for weapons and enables Gage Coins if you run GoonMod Notably Useful DLCs: Joining the Payday 2 Community on Steam gives you something like 2 characters, 8 guns and 4 heists. It's free so do that. Gage Shotgun Pack - adds a couple of guns but most importantly adds special ammo types for shotguns, including flechette and HE. The Overkill Pack - adds the Vulcan (which is not great but is fun as hell) and the RPG (which is both great and fun as hell). Butcher's BBQ Pack - adds the Piglet (multi-shot grenade launcher), the Molotov Cocktail (a limited-use throwable) and the Flamethrower (which is a flamethrower). The Golden Grin Heist - actual content aside, it adds the Buzzer, a unique melee weapon that lets you tase people. Sokol Character Pack - adds the Grinder perk deck, which is both powerful and a unique style of play. Those are just notable because they add unique weapons/playstyles that you wouldn't normally get to try. Best bang for your buck is to get the GOTY version (which includes a ton of DLCs) or wait until the Spring sale, when almost the entire list will be 75% off.

Right after BBQ pack I figured out we're at this point in the lifetime of the game when they pump goofy poo poo into it to keep the playerbase interested, cause noone who's still playing can remember what the base game looked like and what was the tone. And I love it.

I can't give you a legitimate problem, but the main actual argument I see being against it is that it's paid DLC. If it's like previous collab DLC, then Overkill is actually giving all the money to the partner.

I remember I did this Big Bank heist a while back where me and another goon (I think it was Coolguye) went pub stoving - it actually worked out better than expected, the two we wound up with were like hardworking sweatshop children who picked the vault by hand as me and Coolguye ran around trying to outdo each other on the body count. It was after barbecuing cop 400 or so when I realized that I had no interest in completing the heist, only ensuring that I had a bigger set on numbers on the screen than the next guy. In fact, I was grateful that the two dudes in the vault where not participating in our attempt to depopulate the District of Columbia, it left more for me. I mean, I can empathise with the vitriol given this is an absolute pisstake from Overkill - for your average pleb who finds every heist is a tense standoff with police, it's can actually be a challenging experience. In a game that is supposed to be about robbing banks, fisting goats for coke is an immersion breaking experience. I guess what I'm saying is, any one who complains about this heist should be the ones removing the coke out of the goat, while Borris joins the big kids in shoot cops.

Tomb Raider heist, fight through a jungle temple solving random puzzles (including he same one from the Diamond), mask is Indy fedora and gun is a blowdart. Wolfenstien heist, STEAL HITLERS BRAIN, stealth or loud with loud earning you a mecha-hitler fight.

DLC Effortpost: Almost all Payday 2 DLC now comes with the ultimate edition, so this guide is less relevant. It remains as a record of impressions of the different sets of game content and how they were perceived. None of the Payday 2 DLC is really terrible these days, but some is more worth the money than others. I have purchased every DLC at launch and have no regrets. You do not need heist DLC to play the heist- you just can't host it. Every DLC has associated achievements except for soundtrack DLC. Character Packs include a character(entirely cosmetic) and a perk deck and weapon(sometimes worth it). Character preference is purely subjective. Most DLC that comes with masks also has various mask customization stuff. Aside from mentioning the number of masks and their theme I won't go into them. PAYDAY 2: Gage Russian Weapon Pack $4.99 3 Russian guns: the concealable but slow Grom sniper, the decent AK17, and the very good Tatonka SMG. A Russian machete melee weapon(meh) and four masks, one of which is fantastic for customizations, as it's a big flat surface. The achievements are boring, the guns are pretty generic. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: John Wick Heists $6.99 2 heists: The long-teased yacht heist, a simple, well-designed but very easily mastered stealth-only heist, and Brooklyn 10-10, a short, rough and tumble loud only heist. This involves escorting Charon, a character from the eponymous movies, voiced by his actor. It's OK, though-he's invincible. Comes with the Contractor 308, a "sniper rifle" that is basically a piercing DMR, a hook melee weapon, 2 (fabulous) nautical hats and 2 NY-themed masks. Yacht heist also has custom, incredibly rad jazz quartet music by Simon Viklund- but the limited scope of the heists leave this at Good, but skippable. Go rent/buy John Wick 2. PAYDAY 2: Scarface Heist $6.99 A one-day heist for the Butcher to raid Tony Montana's old mansion to kill a Sosa cartel boss. Can be done stealth or loud; both are very well made and a lot of fun. Comes with the Commando 101 multi-rocket launcher (very good), an 80s cellphone melee weapon, and 4 Scarface-themed masks, patterns and materials. The real star is Simon Viklund's take on Push it to the Limit, which is the pinnacle of high art. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Scarface Character Pack $4.99 Scarface (yes, Tony Montana) is Cuban, angry, loud, and voiced by the Pacino-approved successor VA. He comes with the Kingpin perk deck, which trades your throwable for a recharging adrenaline berserker ability, the "little friend" 7.62 AR and a chainsaw. The Little Friend comes with an underslung grenade launcher and functions as a GL with a DMR attached. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Gage Spec Ops Pack $4.99 The Spec Ops Pack stars the Arbiter, an overpowered secondary grenade launcher that's by far the best secondary choice for many builds on difficulties below One Down. It has to be unlocked by completing a lengthy but fairly easy side job of collecting keys and cases in some of the multi-day launch heists. There are also 12 mods, many of them previously used by enemies. Standing out are speedloader mags that are straight upgrades for ARs, but several are really great, new and fun. Also comes with 4 achievement-locked combat-themed masks, patterns and materials. A DLC to confirm your worst Pay-2-Win suspicions. Get this. PAYDAY 2: John Wick Weapon Pack $4.99 This pack comes with three weapons: the Contractor pistol (poor ammo, comes with akimbo), Desert Fox sniper rifle (highly concealable), and Jackal SMG (fun, weird mag mod). Also comes with silent throwing knives and 4 achievement-locked Wick-themed masks, patterns, and materials. Decent, but adds nothing particularly new. Good, but skippable PAYDAY 2: Biker Character Pack $4.99 Rust is voiced by Ron Perlman. Enough said. Ron is angry, sardonic, and probably the most profane character in the game. He comes with the Breaker, a good high damage low-ammo primary shotgun, and the Chain Whip melee weapon, which is mediocre. He also comes with the Biker Perk Deck, which awards health and armor per kill by any member of your crew, to variable benefit. Good, but skippable PAYDAY 2: The Biker Heist $6.99 1 very fun 2-day heist, with a separate pro version. Day 1 is medium-length and can be tricky, but day 2 is extremely fast and very intense, set aboard a moving train. Comes with the CR 805B, a high damage smg that works best in single fire, throwing axes (similar to the javelin), and 4 biker-themed masks. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Sydney Character Pack $4.99 Sydney is Melburnian, punk, chipper, and great for aggravating pubbie players with voice commands. She comes with the Wing butterfly knife, which has cool animations but offers no gameplay benefit, and the drum-fed Bootleg assault rifle, which is like a mini-LMG: fun, but with very poor damage. She also brings the Anarchist perk deck, which regens armor whenever you deal damage (to great effect in sustained firefights), but minimizes your health. Recent meta changes make the Anarchist perk deck insanely powerful with certain builds. Good, but skippable. Payday 2: Wolf Pack $6.99 (or free to owners of the original Payday Wolf Pack) 2 classic Payday 1 heists, with fairly limited alterations for payday 2. Comes with the China Lake, a secondary grenade launcher that's part of many One Down builds, the Pounder nailgun weapon, and 4 Wolf-inspired masks. The China Lake is both very fun and an incredible utility weapon. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Goat Simulator Heist $6.99 A very fun 2-day heist, with a driving emphasis. Has some of the hardest gameplay around due to its very open maps. Comes with the GSPS, a shotgun very similar to the free Locomotive, 4 farming-themed melee weapons and Goat Simulator animal masks. Good, but skippable PAYDAY 2: The Point Break Heists $6.99 2 very fun 1-day heists attacking Murky Water mercenaries, the Baby Deagle pistol (Spike Spiegel approved), which is a strong, but slow-firing pistol, and 4 Xtreme Sportz melee weapons and tribal imagery-themed masks. After nerfs to the Baby Deagle, this DLC is good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Gage Chivalry Pack $4.99 A tie-in with the Chivalry competitive medieval combat game. Comes with a longbow and two crossbows, all of which are effected by gravity and can equip explosive or poisoned ammo. You can pick up ammo for these after you fire them (except the explosives, natch). Also comes with 4 melee weapons, 4 masks, and the massive damage javelin throwable, which can also be picked up(including out of enemies) for reuse. Unfortunately despite recent buffs, time has passed most of these weapons by unless you're taking a particular meta approach to the top difficulties. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Yakuza Character Pack $4.99 Jiro is Japanese, old, loud, and speaks only Japanese in heists. Like Chewie, everyone understands him. He comes with the low health berzerker-based Yakuza perk deck, the katana and a micro-uzi. The katana is an exclellent best melee weapon in the game, and Jiro screams while wielding it and can bisect cloakers if he kills them with it. Other melee weapons are about equal now, though. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Gage Ninja Pack $4.99 Comes with an ok SMG (Kross Vertex) and sniper rifle (the Lebensauger, a W2000 ripoff), and a weird, weak pistol crossbow that can fire normal, poisoned (poison applies a DoT and makes enemies barf, doing a ton of damage when it comes from projectile weapons) or explosive bolts that are effected by gravity. Also has 4 melee weapons, one of which is (very weakly) poisoned, and 4  masks. Good, but skippable.PAYDAY 2: Sokol Character Pack $4.99 Sokol is Russian, charming, quirky, and a criminal prodigy/safecracker/hockey player. He has excellent pager lines, and occasionally reveals underlying psychotic rage. He comes with the strange Valkyria AR, which has a built-in silencer, and a hockey stick melee weapon. He also comes with the Grinder perk deck, which heals you whenever you deal damage if you are wearing little or no armor. This perk deck is fun, but rebalances mean it's no longer as overpowered as it once was. Good, but skippable PAYDAY 2: The Golden Grin Casino Heist $6.99 Golden Grin was hyped as a huge casino heist with a year of lead-in advertising. Unfortunately it was made by Lion Game Lion, a Croatian co-production company that was less familiar with the development tools, and it launched with a ton of bugs. Overkill have patched the heist heavily since, and it's now very fun, though still not quite as great as promised. Comes with the Cavity, a weird, high-damage low-ammo folding semiauto-only AR that's part of some One Down meta builds, 4 vegas-themed melee weapons(including a stun rod which is also in the One Down meta) and 4 Vegas heist move reference masks. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: The Alesso Heist $6.99 An OK one-day heist themed around pulling off a heist at a concert by Alesso, a popular EDM DJ. Can be stealthed, but extremely frustrating to do. Comes with an Alesso track tied only to the heist, a fun, powerful revolver (the Matever), 4 music-themed melee weapons and 4 weird masks. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: The OVERKILL B-Sides Soundtrack $0.99 Adds a large number of more limited or secondary tracks to the ingame soundtrack system. Not necessary. PAYDAY 2: The Butcher's Western Pack $4.99 Three weapons: A six-shooter (the Peacemaker), an old-timey lever action sniper rifle (Repeater 1874), and a bow (the Plainsrider) that comes with arrows that you can pick up after firing(including out of enemies) or explosive arrows(you can't pick these up, surprise). The guns are unfortunately rather weak. Also lets players use throwable dynamite as grenades. Dynamite has a longer fuse and can't be shot out of the air by enemies. Comes with 4 West-themed melee weapons and 4 West-themed masks (surprise). Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: The Butcher's BBQ Pack $4.99 Adds three weapons: a multi-chamber grenade launcher(the Piglet), a shotgun and incendiary ammo for both weapon types, and, oh yes, a flamethrower. See this?  Cops do this when you set them on fire- and fire penetrates enemy armor and shields. Fire (from any source) is second only to explosives in many situations. Also gives the player molotov cocktails, which serve a good area denial purpose. Also comes with 4 fire-themed masks. Get this.PAYDAY 2: The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack $4.99 10 weapon mods for AKs and 10 weapon mods for CAR rifles. These mods are quite good and supersede a number of mods from the Mod Courier Pack. Do note, though, that the mods are locked behind a few annoying achievements that will take a team to get. Also comes with 4 dinosaur masks. If you like ARs, Get this. Otherwise, it's Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: The OVERKILL Pack $4.99 Gives you a minigun, which is like an LMG but more so, and the RPG, which is really great at instantly downing your teammates with friendly fire-but it's now outclassed by the Commando 101. Gives you an escape van skin with the Overkill logo. Also comes with a PAYDAY 2: Dragan Character Pack $4.99 Dragan is Croatian, loud, angry, and voiced by actual convicted bank robber/actor Dragomir Mršić, whose lines aren't quite as interesting as some others, sadly. Comes with the close-range combat Infiltrator perk deck, melee weapon and an OK AR, the Lion's Roar. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: The Bomb Heists $6.99 2 heists made by Lion Game Lion, a Croatian co-production company that has a rocky development history so far- they had less time to learn OVK's mapping tools, and the heists were buggy at launch. They've since been fixed up and are a good change of pace. Also comes with the average Leo pistol and 4 meat and croatia-themed masks. Recent rebalances and bugfixes from Overkill make this DLC Good, but skippable. Watch out for falling damage on Bomb: Forest! NOTE: Everything after this point(aside from the other NOTE) was in the GOTY edition for $50. GOTY's content is static- it's not all the DLC, and the amount doesn't "shift"- it's always these. I recommend waiting for a sale and getting GOTY for all of these, plus a couple masks. PAYDAY 2: Clover Character Pack $2.99 Clover is Irish, loud, angry, and very fun. Her perk deck, Burglar, is really good for stealth (but only for stealth), and her gun, the AR Queen's Wrath, is good but unremarkable. Also comes with a shillelagh melee weapon Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: The Diamond Heist $3.99 Gives an OK, complex one-day heist that is very hectic when played loud. Also comes with 4 mythology-themed masks. Since it comes without weapons and others can host DLC heists, not necessary. PAYDAY 2: Gage Historical Pack $2.99 Gives WWII-themed weapons: a Patchett SMG (godawful), a Nagant sniper rifle (enh), a LMG (The "Buzzsaw" MG42) and a stupidly great Mauser pistol, the "Broomstick"). Also gives 4 similarly themed melee weapons and masks. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Hotline Miami $3.99 3 SMGs(Cobra, Blaster, and Uzi, all OK), 4 brutal melee weapons, 4 masks, and a fun 2 day loud heist that can be unusually intense. Owning this DLC and the original Hotline Miami adds an additional briefcase melee weapon and 4 more masks. Good, but skippable. NOTE: Buying the Deluxe Edition of Hotline Miami 2 ($19.99) gives you the Jacket character(protagonist of Hotline Miami 1), the melee-based Sociopath perk deck, Jacket's Piece (a really good SMG), and hammer melee weapon. Owning any version of the game unlocks 6 additional masks. Jacket communicates entirely using a tape recorder, which is fun at first, but...Hotline Miami 2 remains divisive and less popular than the original, and relatively speaking it costs a lot to get. Not Recommended, unless it goes on sale. PAYDAY 2: Gage Assault Pack $2.99 A variety of fun weapons, including a singlefire grenade launcher (GL40, now outclassed), bullethose AR(Clarion) and 2 fun normal ARs (Gecko and Gewehr). Also includes 4 melee weapons and 4 comics-themed masks. Infamous for locking weapon mods behind fairly annoying achievements. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Gage Shotgun Pack $2.99 Three OK shotguns(M1014, Raven and the Street Sweeper), four melee weapons and 4 monkey masks. The star of this DLC, though, is custom shotgun ammo- explosive, flechette, 000(damage buff), and single-pellet slug rounds. If you like shotguns, Get this. Otherwise, it's good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: The Big Bank Heist $3.99 A massive heist with lots of planning options that many think is the best in the game-but you only need the DLC to host it. Comes with the fun Falcon rifle and four president masks based on their appearance on dollar bills. Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: Gage Sniper Pack $2.99 Three Sniper rifles, including two mediocre ones (R93 and Rattlesnake) and what is basically an antitank rifle (the Thanatos). One sniper rifle is available for free and others are found in other DLC, but these are still fun. Sniper rifles can penetrate some cover and enemy shields/armor, but are now really outclassed due to rebalances. Also comes with the (worthless) ability to activate vantage point assets and 4 insect masks. Weapon mods for these sniper rifles are locked behind achievements. Not necessary. PAYDAY 2: Gage Mod Courier $2.99 You've probably seen color-coded packages you can pick up in maps. Getting enough of a given color when you have this DLC will give you one of every mod in that color's set. These mods are free to attach and remove from guns. Many of these 28 mods are particularly good, stats-wise. Later DLC has reduced some of their utility, but they're still highly recommended to make your weapons more effective. Also lets you customize the reticule on your gun sights. Get this. Gage Mod Courier also interacts with Goonmod, an easy-to-use LUA mod for Payday 2 made by a goon, Wilko, who now works for Overkill. This mod interaction gives you "Continental Coins" for every complete package set. Continental Coins are an ingame currency which can buy mods, mask parts(if you have goonmod) and upgrade the safehouse, removing the painful chance-driven process of waiting for good things to drop from cards at the end of heists. Goonmod has a number of other fun features and does not interfere with normal play (unless you want it to). I strongly recommend getting Goonmod. PAYDAY 2: Gage Weapon Pack #02 $2.99 Knives (the first melee weapons in the game), 3 LMGs (the KSP, Brenner 21 from payday 1, and RPK), and 4 masks. You can get 1 LMG with the base game and several others from other DLC, though.Good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: A Merry Payday Christmas Soundtrack $0.99 Access to additional tracks in ingame soundtrack options and 3 fun santa masks. Not necessary. PAYDAY 2: Gage Weapon Pack #01 $2.99 Frag Grenades(which are also now available by default), three OK weapons(Sig 40 pistol, Eagle AR, SpecOps SMG), 4 animal masks, and single and autofire mods that provide stat bonuses in trade for removing the ability to switch between single and semiauto fire. Most guns are way better in one mode or another, so these mods are a straight upgrade. Also lets you purchase throwable weapon refill assets to place in heists. Worth it for the firing mode mods. Get this. PAYDAY 2: Armored Transport $3.99 The first paid DLC. A large set of decent, very quick attacks on armored car shipments and a slower, stealthable job targeting a stationary train. Three weapons(Gruber Kurz pistol, the nice Commando AR, and the lousy Swedish K). 4 presidential masks. This DLC has some particularly grindy achievements. Originally terribad, but patches have made this good, but skippable. PAYDAY 2: The Official Soundtrack $2.99 Access to additional tracks in the ingame soundtrack options and some highly variable extra masks. Not necessary.

The DOOM pack: fight your way through Phobos Base in seven days of nonstop action. Relive the glory days with the Chainsaw, Plasma Gun, and BFG9000. Don't worry, the new soundtracks contain all the industrial metal you know and love.

I'm not personally into the wacky antics stuff, so I can see why folks might be a bit disappointed with this, but before this we just got two fun, cinematic heists, so no big deal really. (And I didn't even buy the Point Break pack either.  )Unless the Point Break ones don't count because ADVERTISING FOR A lovely MOVIE  or whatever. I suppose it is a little strange to go from heist DLC to heist DLC, with both being tie-ins.

Let's not forget: Oda's armor, giant artifacts, a Thermobaric bomb, whatever was in the Murkies mountain base,the most famous diamond ever, an election, a panic room, a Chinese mobster (or who ever that was, I only vaguely remember PD1), one of the most wanted men in the country(Hox), a drunk pilot Santa, maybe a zombie virus, the contents of a medieval exhibit (to use as weapons), and a FBI server containing very sensitive informant infromation.... Twice. And a tiara. and a dead pig.

I'll admit, I do really hope that they haven't scrapped plans to have a heist where we rescue Jiro's son. I do like Payday's overarching story thing, I just don't take it seriously enough to be clutching at my nerd pearls because there's a cool goat heist.

UnknownMercenary posted:Maybe they realize that people won't be as willing to shell out for a weapon DLC after their major rebalance nerfed a lot of good DLC items. Also fair. And aside from 1-2 packs worth of obscure guns that goons really want I'm not even sure there's much left to milk outside of more wacky stuff like the Chivalry pack anyway. But I was actually thinking more about the Australian heister. Haven't heard a peep about her in so long I'm blanking on her name, even. Then again they're probably sticking with their matching heister + heist scheme and she must not be a goat herder.
