I just remembered... maybe a year or so ago, the thread was musing about how the Payday 2 community was so bad and entitled and how other game communities would have done anything for as much support as Payday 2 got.

Current op as gently caress perk decks:
Muscle (techforcer, but any build with ICTV really)

Can you explain why Muscle is better than Armorer?

This. The problem might be that it's a tough sell to the higher ups to make multiple levels for one heist instead of making multiple heists.

I got one more question regarding the Biker character. Payday 2 thread, who do think it will be? Biker from Hotline, Francis from Left 4 Dead, Norman Reedus as himself or as some Walking Dead tie in or someone else?

Is there a game possibly being announced or showcased at E3 that features a biker?

e: Dallas talking about assuring the biker's loyalty (and the Starbreeze tie in, obv) makes me think Walking Dead. Now, I haven't seen it, but I know it features betrayal and ruthlessness and so on, which means the character needs some reason to not gently caress over the Payday team. Hell, maybe it's Michael Rooker? He'd probably do it.

With this new skills system, is there no more 'buy in'? Like, it seems like I can freely put points in as I like and pull them out later?

Hot tip: Bring a DMR'd AK 7.62 when you use sentries. Set your rifle up so that you've got a 60 round mag (of 63 total rounds). Your first turret will cost you 2 bullets to deploy, while your second will cost 1 bullet. Run over an ammo bag and then set up your other two. Repeat.

Bring a secondary you like using. Or don't. You could just use a melee weapon, I guess.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's DMR mean in this context?

Ah. I am trying to bring a friend back into the fold, and turrets are his favorite (he used them when they were very bad) but he doesn't have that pack.

From what I've seen of Payday 1, there used to be a lot more back & forth between Bain and the crew. Wish that had carried over, but I think for awhile they were really dedicated to the "evil mastermind" version of Bain that the web series was pushing.

I think as the game got sillier, that made less and less sense.

"Yes, steal those nukes, stuff them into a goat, then drop them by parachute right into an enormous christmas present filled with cocaine. Exactly as planned."

The benefit for infamy is now just one additional skill point for infamy I through V, right? I've been 100 forever now, but I don't think I want to infamy if it's going to be such a small benefit.

You think they'd know better after not being able to get the butcher / the dentist back for lines

They probably work it in where they do stuff like "Hey, you!" so they can spackle over new characters as they arrive.

Think maybe the mask has devil horns as a reference to Hellboy?

All the characters I have (which is to say all the ones that are free) look better, insofar as being higher-rez, but I kinda miss Houston looking like a dork.

All things fair, armour buffs can't compete with the health regen decks. Getting hostage taker or a teammate with gambler or first aid kits would do wonders for survivability, the foremost option has never been easier to pick up thanks to the new skill trees.

If I normally do Iron Man builds, and am considering getting the Sydney Pack (or maybe a different one) during the next sale, what's better: Muscle, Anarchist, or something else?

I grabbed Butcher's and AK/CAR with my filthy steam card money. Even managed to do a few of the cheevos with rando pubs somehow. Not 100% sold on using a CAR instead of my KSP, but we'll see.

That China Puff grenade launcher's pretty legit, though. They should just make the GL40 a secondary at this point, because I'm pretty sure this thing is better in every way that matters.

Unrelated question: Is there a limit or diminishing returns on threat? I just equipped the Muscle deck and I've been enjoying watching cops dive for cover.

Which one of you was complaining about this?

Update 103 Patch Notes posted:

*The base game, GOTY, Weapon- and Heist Bundle and all 33 DLC are 75% off except The Biker Heist, Biker Character Pack, The OVERKILL B-Sides Soundtrack and A Merry Payday Christmas Soundtrack. The reason the first two are not on sale is because we just released them and it would be unfair for players who supported us by purchasing it on day one to reduce their price point so close to launch. The last two are not on sale because they cost less than a dollar each to start with. Steam has a cap on how cheap something can be, and we decided that the original price was sufficiently rebated as-is. Thank you for your understanding and sorry for any grievances our wording might have caused you.

anarchist for life, long live anarchist

I tried Anarchist for a while with my ICTV, and I think I'm just going back to Muscle. I get shredded by Snipers and Black Dozers when I used to be basically invincible.

On the other hand, I have played with Crook for a akimbo silenced pistol build, and it's kinda nice to not feel like you have to constantly sprint.

If creators want to create skins for free for practice or fun or glory or any other concept that fails to keep their refrigerator full, that is their own business.
If creators want to tell Overkill to go gently caress a parking meter and explain that labor is normally compensated with currency, that's also their own business.

Both ideas can live in harmony.
