Wattup accidental Shotgun 101 bro. :hf:

I got mine just blithely blasting away at Russian commandos in Boiling Point the other day. I had just looked at the achievement earlier in the day thinking "Man, I'm never gonna get that one" and the suddenly welp there it was.
V:downs:V

Mine was trying to hold the cops back from the downstairs labs on day two of Big Oil, in the dark.

Even without goonmod, the mods that you can get from the courier pack are super-useful.

So I understand that because of the dynamic nature of the game's music, modding your own music files into the heist soundtracks would be really tricky.
But I'm wondering, since the menu tracks just play normally on a loop, if adding or replacing any of the menu tracks would be any easier? I just realized the other day I'd love to have the Jagged Alliance 2 laptop theme as my Payday 2 main menu music.

There is only one acceptable menu tune and it's Let's Go Shopping.

I thought about this the other day - Goons have told me it was supposed to be once a week, I don't remember OK ever saying that. Only that every safe after whatever date would be free to open. Can anyone confirm/deny?

I have literally only once gotten a safe in a card drop, and that was when safes first debuted. I dunno what it is, but goons always talk about stuff that's supposed to be a guaranteed drop, and I've never gotten a guaranteed drop in the history of the game.

It used to be the case that you could get a safe drop once a week, very reliably. Now, it's unclear when (or if) there is a weekly reset, or what criteria need to be met in order for a safe to drop. Case in point: Last week, I played exactly the same as much as another person, in all the same games as that person. I got a safe drop at one point. They never did.

Even when it used to be the case, I still never got one. People would say "oh, you're guaranteed a drop, it's one a week" over mumble and we'd all flip mods and masks and cash, or they'd flip safes and I wouldn't. This isn't new behavior for me is what I'm saying.

So,I've got myself set up on the Mumble,and I just wanted to ask-which of the channels or groups or whatever are the most noob-friendly? I don't wanna ruin some PRO GAMERZ' run because of my noobish ways.

We have a bunch of different groups because at various times, we've had a shitton of people playing at once, nobody really "owns" one group or another, you just pick one that's open.

Question: How often do you run into people using hacks and cheats in the game? I just finished the Big Bank heist on Death Wish with a group, and when it came time to drill the vault, it just automatically opened. I think they also created way more turrets then you're able to, because none of the enemies were able to make into the center of the bank. I've noticed with a couple of games I've joined, a player will get marked as 'Cheater' for using mods. That didn't happen in this instance.

Never.

Play with goons.

I'm in the steam group but when I check it, the chat is usually empty, so I don't bother.

Would I be better off joining the Discord? Is the info for it in the steam group somewhere?

The discord just got created like two-three days ago. If I knew how to link it, I would, but I am old and internet things frighten and confuse me.

To commemorate it:

I pubstoved last night out of boredom. Arrived in a Big Bank to find three sub-Infamy 1 players slowly picking the locks on the deposit boxes and none of the loot in the vault bagged. (But at least they picked the bus escape.)

That's not even really bad, that's just "this game doesn't really come with documentation."

I hate ads and I hate the idea that I'm spending any more time thinking about them than reaching for the remote and fast-forwarding (I watch a lot of poo poo on DVR), but I suspect that the voice actress at the beginning of this ad is the same one as is on Jacket's tape player, which makes the whole thing even weirder.
