The idea I guess is that You're not starting the meth from scratch and you're trying to balance out all the ingredients instead of starting with a clean slate for each individual bag.

So what's the rifle in the Wick pack? I'm honestly not feeling the UMP or that pistol too hard.

Is there even a decent "fat guy with powerful shotgun" build anymore? I miss having ICTV, drill skills, and a shotgun that belched out an acre of copdeath at a time. From the looks of it that's probably a no.

I was more talking about how he apparently can't read a simple recipe from the internet without stumbling and messing up the ingredients etc. For a guy who can convince cops to set a heister who has just killed ~100 cops free, with his weapons, this seems a bit weird.

The second part is just that Payday-verse cops are really really stupid. The Safehouse Raid ends with Bain convincing the DC police department that ~600-800 cops went to a routine drug raid, found nothing and all retired to Bermuda immediately afterwards, no they're totally not dead.

Yes. It requires Frenzy/Berserker and a good deal of point optimization but it can be done. I'd post mine if I wasn't phoneposting from work.

The sniper rifle is the most concealable yet, and the SMG is a more concealable alternative to the Krinkov.

The pistol unfortunately falls into the very crowded mid-damage bracket next to the LEO and Chimano Custom so it's not likely to turn heads. The akimbo version might be nice but it's hard to imagine something usurping the Chimano Custom.

Throwing knives coming in at 6/pack leads me to believe they sit between shuriken and javelins in terms of damage, I don't know who cares though because going either max damage or poison animations seems like the smart choice.

Of course they're all likely suboptimal for 1D :v:

They do the same damage as javelins (1100). You can toss them out quicker but they don't fly as far.

Don't know about the Contractor Pistol. Looks OK? You can Akimbo it so thats nice.

edit: seems like a lot of the SMGs have similar stats so I rescind my previous statement. But at least players have the UMP finally.

This is mostly what I'm getting at. I don't look at any of these weapons and think "man, that'd be good for DW/OD."

The sniper might make for a good low-conceal sharpshooter setup. Well, maybe not good.

Eh, they may be trying to avoid the power creep issues that resulted after the original DW update - Thanatos, GL40, etc. all introduced immediately after and being all but required for most loud DW heists. IIRC there were a lot of complaints about the new game mode being almost impossible without additional paid DLC. This is a way of avoiding a repeat of that scenario, with the result being a bunch of largely bland weapons that don't do anything new or unique.

The dodge sniper gimmick build is gonna be the new meta, just you wait and see. :colbert:

Also, we still haven't seen the most important part of this DLC: masks and mask materials. Hoping for something that looks good on War Face.

javelins were boosted to 7500 (wtf) and axes were not in the rebalance. I wish axes were also at 7500 so they'd be something to consider on DW, but neither is your best choice on 1D so whatever.

Probably stupid, but in some respects I wish they would normalized values across all weapons within their types so that people can use the ones they enjoy aesthetically without being locked out of higher difficulties.

I went from being able to two shot a tan with the katana to hitting him seven times before he died. A blue cop took five strikes on overkill, i've never had a problem with this even without pumping iron or berserker + frenzy

Cop health is multiple times higher than it used to be. Melee damage hasn't been adjusted upward, and melee weapons don't benefit from headshot multipliers.

RIP melee. It's just another example of how poorly-conceived Jules's design is.

And yeah, I agree with this too, more or less. All weapons in a category should be similarly damaging. There are other ways to differentiate weapons that don't obviously make some weapons better than others, like rate of fire and recoil pattern.

Base health has been increased for all cops, so you really need those headshots now. Too bad melee barely has that huh.

I can tune a fish.
Unsurprisingly, melee still works...if you have a bunch of damage bonuses stacked together. I can still ice pick fools fine as long as I have Blood Thirst, Pumping Iron (which did specifically get buffed), and Frenzerker going.

Switching to a build that isn't using all of those makes the katana feel anemic and awful. Maybe I'm also just too used to the ice pick's animations now but the range feels shorter than it should be.
