• They've been completely overhauled.
  
• A lot of stuff that may appear to be missing is actually stuff you just have by default. Stuff like silent killing, fall damage reduction and taking cops as hostages.
  
• Other stuff just got shuffled around. Bulletproof is in Enforcer now, for example. Berserker, melee and pistol skills are in Fugitive. Automatic weapon skills, Technician.
  
• Every class has 3 separate trees. Tiers are unlocked for each tree individually. There are only 4 tiers.
  
• Point costs got changed a little. Tiers 2 and 3 cost slightly more than they used to.
  
• Tier requirements are also different: 0, 1, 3 and 18. The infamy bonuses only change that last one, dropping it to 16.
  
• There are skill profiles. They remember not only your chosen skill set and perk deck but also your mask, weapons and throwable. You can switch between profiles during loadout, meaning you can switch between days.

• They've also been completely overhauled. Even the AMCAR and Chimano 88 - the starters and still the worst guns in the game - are OK on Overkill difficulty.
  
• Accuracy and Stability are now on a 0-100 scale. 100 are "exactly where the sight is pointing" and "it barely moves" respectively. 92 is what 18 was.
  
• Skins. Moving on...
  
• There is a type of mod that is just called stat boost. They have no cosmetic change, not even the concealment boost. You get to have just one on a gun and they override the stat boost of a skin (if it had one). While there are super bullshit side jobs to let you acquire one a month, you get them from card drops much more quickly.
  
• LMGs can have a bipod attachment that let you trade all your mobility for a gun that can actually hit things at a distance.
  
• Grenade/rocket launchers exist. They are all DLC and no DLC has more than one.
  
• Anyone can use Akimbos. Skills/perks just up their stability and ammo capacity.
  
• Anyone can use a saw as a primary. Skills allow saws as a secondary. Primary and secondary saws have to be bought separately.
  
• Everyone has access to a grenade now. It's no different from the one you might have paid for so long ago.
  
• Melee weapons only go up to 30 damage now. Unless you charge the attack. And/Or take the skill that lets you kill up to 16 guys with your guns for one really hard swing.

• Everyone has most of them at their basic level by default. The exceptions are armour bag (still a perk) and...
  
• Silent sentry guns. Unlocked by a skill.
  
• Sentry turrets cost ammo to deploy now. If they're not broken you can pick up your turrets (refunding you the unused ammo), and put them down somewhere else with full ammo again. You get to have four with the right skill. You change their ammo type to AP rounds with the right skill.
  
• Trip mines and shaped charges are separate items but they are still paired as a single deployable. With skills, you can have up to 14 trip mines and 6 shaped charges. Trip mines can be upgraded to start fires.
  
• There's a skill to carry two different deployables at once and you switch between them at the push of a button but you only get half of the secondary deployable. Technician, Engineer, Tier 3, Jack of All Trades Ace. Yes, you can choose Sentries and Silent Sentries to have six of them in total.
  
• First aid kits can be auto-consumed to prevent death with the right skill.
  
• Bulletstorm doesn't suck any more. When any player uses an ammo bag that you deployed they get infinite ammo for an amount of time based on how much ammo they got from the bag. Vast improvement over holding onto the drat things for it.
  
• ECM feedback isn't a skill. You just have it.

• Absolutely nothing.

• The Medic: He's an rear end in a top hat that every so often prevents one cop from dying and heals them. If that cop happens to be a bulldozer, good job - you wasted a lot of ammo.
  
• SWAT van turrets: They can be destroyed but they are really stubborn. Don't get too close; they have tear gas.
  
• Captain Winters: He only appears once and walks over to a predetermined location at an unspecified time on certain maps with a team of shields that are all immune to stagger, he makes every single cop harder to kill just by existing and the assault wave never ends until you beat him. All while standing around and doing nothing. Beaten by either dealing lots of damage to him or by killing off his crew. Most people just use explosives on him at the first opportunity.

• Originally a GoonMod thing. Now officially part of the game.
  
• Some didn't make the transition, many others are completely new. Most of the new ones are very strange.
  
• There is a fun tax and you get less experience and cash for playing with them, even the ones that obviously increase the difficulty, like the one that boosts enemy damage, the one that boosts enemy health, the one that turns dead cops into even more cops and the one that turns on friendly fire.

• Apart from the old safe house thing that didn't really explain much of anything, you now have two "Basics" heists. One for loud, one for stealth.
  
• Both have fixed loadouts so new players don't have to worry about not owning a silenced weapon.
  
• Both are 2 days long.
  
• Loud day 1 is about using gun on mans until mans stop using gun on you. Loud day 2 is about rescuing teammates from custody and using the doctor bag wrong and is literally just one of the escapes with more scripted events.
  
• Stealth day 1 is killing dudes quietly, hiding the bodies and sneaking past others when you're all out of pagers. Stealth day 2 is dealing with cameras without breaking them, plus a little bit of sneaking and hiding the bodies.
  
• Both award a fairly decent amount of experience for how short and easy they are.
  
• You do have to put a little effort into completing these; the cops, guards and cameras are just as real as they are in proper heists and you can still fail.

• They have... skins in them. So anyway...
  
• Used to require you to get drills to open them (old ones still do) but the ones you get now do not.
  
• Mostly cosmetic. Some have stat boosts (which you could just put on the gun anyway) and guns with legendary skins can't be modded at all.

• The real change here is that it's a permanent feature now.
  
• Piss away offshore money for card drops. You'll have nothing better to do with it eventually, especially since infamy 6+ doesn't cost anything and contracts don't really cost that much.

• You moved out of the old one. Finally.
  
• Has various parts that can be upgraded. The only one that does anything outside the safe house is the upgrade that lets you change the van's paint job.
  
• Can sometimes be raided by the cops. It's basically a semi-rare heist that awards 6 continental coins to anyone who takes part. There's no need to do it immediately, or ever.
  
• Various trophies can be earned by doing challenges. They also award 6 continental coins each.

• Used to upgrade the safehouse (costs 6, 12 or 18, depending on the level).
  
• Can also buy weapon mods of your choice with them (6 coins per mod).
  
• Awarded from daily safe house side jobs (6 each), trophies (6 each), safe house raids (6 each) or from getting huge amounts of experience (1 per 1,000,000).
  
• Also kind of a GoonMod thing that got ported into the main game. Just not as versatile. Or generous.

• Daily/Weekly/Monthly challenges.
  
• Dailies are either very easy achievements, killing a load of (specific) enemies (using a specific weapon type) or doing several (of one contractor's) heists. Awards a random mod for a weapon of your choice and some cash.
  
• Daily safe house side jobs are just the most random things you could be doing. Some are much harder than others. Awards 6 continental coins.
  
• Weeklies are achievements you never wanted to do again. Awards a predetermined infamous mask and some cash.
  
• Monthlies are straight up masochistic nonsense. Unlocks a random stat boost or a team boost (because those are different somehow?).

• Don't exist.

• People doing loud with light vest/two-piece suit is a thing now. More than before.
  
• Some have their health capped at 30%. It is also a thing - specifically a skill designed to synergise with Berserker. Its power is the stuff of legends.
  
• drat near everyone is using some kind of mod now. Most notable perhaps is NGBTO or as you may get to know it: "You've been kicked from the game".
