:ese: Mexican Boogaloo Part Two, this time with Vlad :ese:

quote:

Welcome back to Sunny Mexico!


We bring an awesome update packed to the brim with loot and goodies. We got heisting, guns and suits and much much more for you to explore. There’s action and tension waiting for you on Crime.net. We stay south of the border for a good ‘ol American bank robbery with a heavy Mexican flair.


The San Martín Bank Heist

Our favorite heisters are enjoying their stay south of the border but this time an old friend has a task for them. Vlad wants you to steal some precious treasures hidden in a bank vault. He prefers the thrill of going in loud through the front door, gun drawn and masks on. But if you want to take the sneakier route there are other options available. Just be careful over there - don’t expect the Mexican police force to go easy on you, ‘cause they won’t.

New Full Auto Pistols

There has never before been so much bang for the buck in a weapon pack as with the Federales Weapon Pack, there’s a combined fire rate of 2851 rounds per minute across three pistols. With single and akimbo variants you will be able to black out the sun with flying helmets. The full auto pistol arsenal of PAYDAY 2 just got a 300% increase in the number of weapons on offer. If you enjoy the sound of thousands of rounds echoing over the AO this is the DLC for you.

New Outfits

Music and clothing are two of the most powerful statements of personal style and belief one can make. From the Hippies in the 1960s, fighting against warmongering politicians, to the Punk Rockers in the 70s and 80s, smashing guitars over the head of capitalism, or rappers busting rhymes against oppression. And some people simply prefer an orchestra mixed with gunfire and explosions, wandering the Earth with a gun in one hand and a trumpet in the other, looking for wrongs to make right. They have been effective avenues for informing society at large if you play by the rules or not - a sure way to either show your conformity or to say "gently caress YOU!" to the establishment.

Custom Weapon Colors

Do you feel you need more variety in your arsenal? Do you feel the need to pimp out your guns? Perhaps make them match that snazzy outfit you are wearing or the mask covering your face. No one says you can’t look good while mowing down the cops. With 20 different colors to customize your weapons, you will not be without options. There are even some free colors to let you try out the system and see what you can do. Each of the colors can be applied to any weapon in the game and with 6 different application sets and 5 wear states to choose between. With this DLC you will have well over 600 variants for each of your weapons.

...


Any mods you have installed may interfere with the update, so please disable them to avoid crashes until the modders have had time to update their mods. If you are experiencing crashes please read this thread for more information.

There's a stream right now of sneak peak gameplay of the heist, some sort of drug lord mansion/a big mexican bank and what looks like akimbo auto berretas, also the beast from big bank is back. Cops also have a slight makeover and apparently speak spanish since this takes place in mexico, sort of like boiling point/russia. Vlad's "special loot" is called "romanov treasure" and looks like a bag of gold bars with some cheap jewelry in it. You can also stealth it, makes it easier for death sentence since there doesn't seem to be a lot of available cover. Heist's song is called "Bonebreaker". There is also a door in the back in stealth that takes 180 seconds to drill :v: There is also a white house "find two RNG color circuit boxes lock in stealth. The vault has car shop elements with finding codes via RNG names, and then yell at the IT guy that may have been absent from Car Shop to do Biker Heist mechanic objective stuff after shouting at him like the CFO in Diamond Heist

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Clearing San Martin in stealth, the easy way (major kudos to mas for figuring this out)

Preplanning: get the drunken mariachis and the garbage truck on the side entrance. Bring a silent saw if you want the achievement for all loot.

1. Go up the fire escape, open the rooms on the roof and turn off the power. Optionally, kill the guard to make pathing around easier.
2. Go all the way down the stairwell. Beware of guards facing into the stairs on the office level.
3. Do not pick the door out into the alleyway. Instead, drill the gate open. With the door closed, the drill is entirely safe. It takes three minutes, and then, presto! You've skipped four steps and spending a bunch of time in the offices, the most hazardous part of the map!
4. Clear the back hallways of both guards and the camera room guard. You now have no more pagers, but the entire area is locked down.
5. The only remaining hazard is getting the code for the vault. But...you can wait about a minute and the game will give you a tooltip of where the desk you need is. Have a friend spot the guards on cameras and you should be golden!
6. Be careful moving the loot back up the stairwell- remember, a guard can stand looking out into the stairwell!


If you want to do San Martin loud, do be aware that some enemies are using incorrect weapon presets, causing extra damage on some difficulties.

Hey all,

put like 1000 hours into the game but haven't played it in years. Got some friends interested and they've all bought it and we're gonna play soon. Is there a current best hud mod out there? Is the game even still compatible with mods?

Also, from reading the OP, I forgot the official payday 2 steam group was even a thing. I tried searching for it in steam's group search and got no results, following the link in the op leads me to it and lets me join it, but it doesn't show up in my profile's groups after that. is this group functionality outdated? Maybe none of you have gone through this recently but thought I'd ask.

I don't think the Steam group is very active any more. There is a Discord which I believe is linked, but most of us have drifted off to other games, only to return (briefly) when there is new content. I'd be happy to join y'all for some heisting, and I'm sure we can stir some interest up if you want - just depends on what you want to do.

Sorry, I've got 3 newbies in tow, thanks for responding though.

regarding the steam group, I mean a few years ago you had to join it in order to unlock a bunch of content, various guns, mods, even some missions like hoxton breakout. I guess my question is whether joining the group to get that free content is still required or not.

I think the judge is overrated, but there's also lots of opportunity costs now with the dozens of guns, including a 44 ammo secondary mosconi/jocelyn that also kicks rear end. Still good for blowing up dozer faceplates/launching ragdolls in stealth, swan song spam etc, but you have a lot more tools available. Interceptor is also a hilarious 100 accuracy pistol with mods for pixel perfect laser sniping as part of the community

It's an OK concealed shotgun to put HE rounds in, seeing how it has high damage and the worst ammo economy.

More importantly, Rhubarb isn't Community and you shouldn't wear anything else.

Towards the original end of life for Payday 2 support, lead designer Jules decided it was a good idea to balance guns around how much ammo they could pick up. The Judge was a very popular gun that was able to survive 3 years without being nerfed, and the first thing they did to it was make it so effective ammo pickup was basically 0.

you forgot the part where LMGs get all the ammo ever and alongside autoshotguns are basically the only viable weapons on the highest difficulties. Y'know the ones the devs admit they never play cuz it's too hard.

I liked the LMGs back when they sucked poo poo when they first came out, because I roleplay as a Super-Chains in full armor and a pathological sense of invulnerability who's constantly screaming at the cops as he mows them down, so I'm fine with them being amazing now, but it'd be good if other weapons were good too and they had someone 'balance' things that wasn't a total moron.

So I scrounged some steambux and got the san martin bundle. Heist/lovely coloring option/some ok suits that lay over your armor/3 machine pistols. My thought on the first and last things specifically:

The heist is okay, even with the main gimmick of 3 full walls of deposit boxes to saw or pick open. I get notable framedrops/lag on it, not as bad as hell's island but still playable for me. Snipers are very loving annoying on this one loud, make sure you have at least one weapon or member with something accurate to hit them. Theres also turrets outside around the corner for extra fun red lasers. Kind of long, payout is okay (moreso if you have a saw and hit the atms in the lobby). Bank is very small hallway and around-the-corner focus, shotguns/flamethrowers excell here, revolvers/luger/snipers for outside. Haven't done it stealth yet.

There are 3 machine pistols: Bernetti Auto(Berreta 93R; high-ammo and low-damage even for a pistol, about 1101 RPM)
Czech 92 Pistol(CZ 75 I think; middle of the road, I think 900~ RPM)
Igor Automatik(Stechkin APS; low-ammo and high-damage, about 675 RP).
And you can :ocelot: akimbo them :ocelot:

Bernetti feels anemic even with frenzerker, reload is quick partial and tactical. Probably best in a gunslinger/pistol skill tree build and/or a dodge&crit build. Pick up is ok. But you can turn it into the Robocop gun
Czech 92 is the middle of the bunch, the one I enjoyed using the most. Slightly less ammo and rate of fire, but slightly higher damage. Full reload is a bit longer than the Bernetti, but partial reload feels about the same. Both of them have clear and manageable iron sights, and the Czech feels very accurate at medium range.
Igor was lackluster. It does 68~ damage a shot like an Interceptor but has a relatively lower ROF, and it has a lot less ammo than the other two plus a lovely pickup. Reload is also notably longer, and I think it is the only one out of the 3 new ones that can take a pistol sight. However, it looks snazzy when fully modded with blinged grips and the visible bullet stack cutouts in the magazine when you reload.

I have not tried them akimbo, but just using them as a basic fatman frenzerker build they are a very good compliment for a grenade launcher. And they're 1,000 round a minute handguns, how can you not have fun with them?

Also special mention to the level 0 guy who joined at the mayhem san martin heist I ran, stayed at the van when everybody else tried being greedy for more bags and got incapacitated because of it, including me, and then got incapacitated right as I was about to tick down into custody, but because he was still in the escape zone 3 seconds after everybody else got busted, the game recognized there was only one person in play also inside the escape zone, and thus the heist got completed right before the failure screen happened :v:
