Close enough version, he can shout "Watch out for that pig!" when you mark someone.

Mad Stan is literally just Henry Rollins if he decided bombs were the best way to punctuate his spoken word performances. "He's unstoppable when he's on a rant" is basically a perfect line.

I was also thinking Nicolas Cage would be an interesting heister. An A-list actor turned criminal after producing and starring in a series of flops could work for backstory.

No, if we're doing Henry Rollins, we need a Shatner heister to go with him so they can these bits:

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
This is very well timed. Note that the new safes are scheduled to come out on the 24th. This will be a massive shot in the arm for the marketplace soft reset.

But that means more competition to play as her.

Not to mention some good P.R. Talking to people who haven't played the game, there was a lot of misinformation out there about the safe system.

I like how even when Overkill clearly stated that none of the old safes are being grandfathered into the new system you still get topics popping up asking why drills are needed to open them.

Yeah, being able to tell people "actually Overkill is taking microtransactions out" gets a lot of positive response, that's for sure


I'll probably pick up some DLC when the Steam sale actually starts. Two days, presumably.

A couple more things from the news:

1. in case there was any doubt, the safe we're getting on Thursday will be the Biker safe. The preview images look really promising.

2. Payday 1 is 90% off for the base game. It's definitely worth buying at that price, if just to experience how the game has changed.

Also, secretstuff: this weird thing is scrawled near the top of one of the pillars at the bunker in the new heist. Can anyone make anything of it?

I grabbed Butcher's and AK/CAR with my filthy steam card money. Even managed to do a few of the cheevos with rando pubs somehow. Not 100% sold on using a CAR instead of my KSP, but we'll see.

That China Puff grenade launcher's pretty legit, though. They should just make the GL40 a secondary at this point, because I'm pretty sure this thing is better in every way that matters.

Unrelated question: Is there a limit or diminishing returns on threat? I just equipped the Muscle deck and I've been enjoying watching cops dive for cover.

Muscle panic actually has nothing to do with cops diving, or with threat. Threat, through some arcane arithmetic that only people who huffed Long Guide too long will immediately remember, determines the chance that cops in a certain arc from where you're firing with do dives and such. Muscle's panic chance is static, and causes them to grab their heads and crouch like scared babies who can't handle someone emptying a minigun in their general direction. This is a static per-bullet percentage chance, that I think isn't even effected by gun type, which makes LMGs and full auto SMGs especially good Muscle weapons.

Can someone who doesn't have the Wolf Pack DLC in either Payday 1 or 2 tell me if buying it in 1 still gives it to you for free in 2?

Just out of curiosity, I already own both. Also I encourage waiting until the Steam sale actually starts :v:

Threat isn't a great stat to build, you're better off ignoring it entirely and relying on the panic procs from Muscle or Sociopath.

To double down on this, I think that panic procs from the perk decks have an additional feature beyond threat responses-they disrupt enemies pursuing an interruption (powerbox, drill, etc) task. Not 100% certain that threat doesn't also do that, but it's very handy.

yes, getting it for 1 does give it to you in 2.
