I want that T/C Encore. And in a stupid caliber, like .444 Marlin. Pretty much a faster 45-70 out of a handgun? Yes, that’ll do.

Crackdown is gearing up for its first big update. Beyond a bunch of fixes and tweaks, we will be adding at least three new Crackdown heists...and they will include stealth, and the new Crackdown stealth enemy!*


*Crackdown does not attempt to “fix stealth”. Preplanning is not available in Crackdown. Some optimum routes may be removed. Stealth only heists not available for loud play in Crackdown. New guard type may have strong opinions about men’s rights. Your completion rate may suffer.

Sounds sick and I wish console could gently caress with this. Even though I think you shoulda went with pretty much anything other than "Crackdown".

I'm guessing these new heists are reworks of current jobs and assets?

It’ll always remain “Death Vox” to me - especially since that’s the name of the install folder.

Also, Crackdown is not compatible with Restoration Mod Overhaul and never will be, according to a dev. I like RM: Overhaul - mainly because of the stat adjustments and the small fun changes (Cursed Christmas Kill Room, for example).

Does anyone know the pros and cons of either over the other? Thanks.

Fun fact, Crackdown was top contender for the new top difficulty name before the devs found out that we were making a mod with that name. So Crackdown is directly responsible for the name "Death Sentence". I can only apologize.

swims posted:

Yup, right now it's got Armored Transport: Crossroads and Underpass, Aftershock, Alaskan Deal and Brooklyn 10-10. The upcoming update will have Shadow Raid, Diamond Store, Bank: Cash (each version of the basic bank heist is getting a very different set of tweaks), and one more heist if there's time for me to build one out.

We're also going to start adding whole custom maps, and existing custom heists are all generally compatible with Crackdown.

HebrewMagic posted:

Both restoration and crackdown are broadly compatible with visual mods; Idk if either gives you more gore because both reduce the enemy spawncap.

re: dancing minigames...well, you know the tile puzzle on The Diamond? :getin:

Crackdown only changes the Death Sentence difficulty, and doesn't make very visible changes to the player side of the equation...yet. We're going to implement a player-side rebalance once we figure out a) how to make it not a crazy mess and b) how to make it clean, stable, and above all else, optional.

Restoration mod basically is everything anyone thought would be cool to add to payday 2, filtered through a profound lack of overarching design and a lead programmer with a mercurial temperament and personal vision. IT does a ton of stuff, but the different parts don't jibe well together.

Cursed Christmas Kill Room is just a normal, rare event on Cursed Killroom; Restoration mod doesn't really do map changes, though there are a couple custom heists bundled with it iirc.

...In principle, but for the crackdown edits I handle, I always start from the heist as it exists in the base game. Some other people got a bootleg no mercy working awhile back, but it was miserable. Editing a heist also takes a lot of work, especially for someone like me with limited skill/experience.

This sounds like it owns so hard.
Can you add cars and bikes to missions? Ideally a boat would be the poo poo. You could make a Rats day 3 rework and boat over to the Dogs day 2 area for a drop point or something.

Extra sick style points would be if you had to parachute off the bridge to the lower boat.
