It was an accident, happend when they were getting Almir really drunk to record his voice lines for White Xmas 2: Cocaine Boogaloo. Overkill believes in authenticity, you see.

Interesting. I kinda wish that HE was not so effective at peeling off the visor because then I would not feel compelled to always bring an HE Judge as my secondary :v: But even then that does not address the problem that you are outlining.

That's a known bug- they'll get to it eventually, but Overkill's workflow is such that it's really hard to predict how long it will take. They've got a massive backlog and patching fixes is so disruptive to their schedule that they're having to take things slower than you'd think. There's a just-posted thread discussing these issues here.

So question - what's the feeling on suit vs LBV with Grinder now? I'm kinda on the fence - it's trading 50 armor for 10 dodge, and it seems like a wash for the most part.

Secondary Objective: Commit Fraud - Complete
So I've been running some mods that add contours to certain objects (keycards, planks, packages, crowbars) since I was curious about their possible spawn locations on some maps. Things I've observed

-Big Bank, there's an unreachable keycard on the roof of the adjacent building you zipline over to get to the crane
-Firestarter Day 2, there's an unreachable keycard inside the second floor wall furthest from the van
-On several maps, packages spawn in unreachable areas such as: Hoxton Breakout 1 (on the other side of a door in the hallway you spawn in(??), on roads barricaded by cops), Hoxton Breakout 2 (the archives if Hoxton doesn't ask for records), Hotline Miami 2 (in blocked off portions of the rat maze), Watchdogs Day 2 (inside the warehouse on Death Wish)
-On several maps, packages spawn intersecting with level geometry or other objects (such as planks) making them impossible to see.
-A package spawn on Rats and Lab Rats is located above the stairs, which Overkill blocked off because people liked hiding under the table up there. Now the package can only be grabbed through the wall, and can't be seen if the lab is upstairs.
-On Watchdogs Day 1, there is an honestly absurd amount of planks, possibly more than surfaces they can be attached to.
-Boards on Go Bank and Goat Sim 2 are considered a different class of objects than planks, and are not highlighted by the mod.
-Every time I've played Counterfeit there's been two crowbars somewhere on the property of the two houses, and one in the sewers. Drilled the basement gates and forgot to bring a crowbar into the escape sewers? Apparently Overkill has you covered.

These two are because the game spawns and stores the keycard before moving into a relevant position, which may or may not spawn- in these cases, the safes that can potentially have a keycard.

Considered trying to make a Hitman DW build, but realized that it might be poo poo if you can't get to the ammo drops before other players. The deck needs something else for survivability.

200% dive range with a possible buff against falling damage. But you constantly have to keep moving or else dodge disappears entirely. Doesn't matter if your conceal is low; you slow down and you die.

Oh yeah and a community safe?

every now and then the guy who usually hosts for us buys lab rats DW to see what I'll do, and my response is always the same: leave the lobby

also I'm reading the patchnotes on this and basically Overkill is adding, one by one, all the good HUD poo poo to the base game? I'm okay with this. Also, it's good that the Bronco made it into the safe as it was the only good one I saw in the Workshop. Of course it's the Epic. :(

I'm eager to see the rest of the skins in the safe - I quite like the Shooting Star one. Bunch of the other changes look great, too - leg hit boxes, being able to tell the AI to hold position, pubbie ban lists.. The profiles thing will probably mess up a mod or two, but it's much needed functionality.

with catte-like thread
upon our prey we steal
I'm getting into Payday 2 again for the first time in like three years (figured I'd never play again with that whole safes fiasco, but was pleasantly surprised when they backtracked). I gotta say, I am loving loving most of the changes I've noticed. The deck system is fun to unlock and use, being able to unassign and juggle around skills (and save presets) for free is amazing, etc. Everything feels so much more flexible, and it also feels like there are way more viable play styles, rather than just a handful of obvious superbuilds.

Hell, I'm rocking a silenced shotgun specialist with Grinder/suit-dodgin' and it's working way better than I ever would have expected.


The pubbie playerbase is still a bunch of drooling morons, however, from what I've seen so far. Before I reinstall Mumble, are there generally a good number of goons around up in there? Is it fairly easy to get some good private games together? FWIW, I'm way more interested in planning and pulling off middling difficulty heists with a smart, cooperative team and some finesse, than I am in grinding tedious Overkill/Deathwish missions so I can kill dozers from inside a closet for an hour straight.
