Attempting to even look at this skin crashes the game because this thing pops up in my steam inventory that says "Custom GoonMod Skin" or something. So I'm going to assume my crashing was caused by Wilco. Thanks man! :v:

I'm having the same problem, and I've traced it, I think, to the BLT Skin Unlocker. Like for me, it's the Deagle - I have a 'custom goonmod skin' item for the Deagle, and when the Skin Unlocker is installed, trying to modify a Deagle at all crashes the game. So far every other gun skin is doing fine.

I think the saddest thing about it is Almir blatantly said "poo poo changed" in regards to why Payday 2 of now is different than the Payday 2 of several years ago. Like, that is business. poo poo changes. And to Reddit, this is the most grievous of sins.

I cannot fathom a group of people who treat offhand comments of several years ago as sacred covenants to never be defiled.

I'm putting too much faith in redditors to understand basic real world interactions I feel.

I was reading this article about games that had their steam review score change dramatically after release, and I thought for sure Payday 2 would be on their with all the sound and fury kicked up by the steam forums and reddit during the black market update. It wasn't even mentioned in passing though, which I found surprising. I checked the reviews on the store page and got to see first hand the power of reddit's review bombs:

Overall: 75% of the 205,337 user reviews for this game are positive
Recent: 81% of the 5,255 user reviews in the last 30 days are positive

:v: They sure did have a lasting impact.

To be fair, before the thundering herd of neckbeards hit it, it was above 90%. So they had an impact, just not nearly the one they wanted (to sink it to Negative/Mostly Negative)

So I tried to slap together my usual allotment of 5 builds that I like to keep around - Stealth, Dodge, Sentry Gun, Assault, and Shenangians

Stealth: http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/mhjl:ekl:tCFHKL:gABCDEFJKLPQr:fF:ibcdea:pB8::w56-1-12:s25-1-8:a1
No explination necessary, the idea is I take everything needed for stealth. Jack of All Trades is there to carry both ECMs and Shaped Charges,

Assault: http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/mABDEFr:eaBCDEFGJKLr:tLPR:gl:ibcdea:pM8::w76-23-4-11-28-18-13-20:s32-24-32-14-43-1-7-41-38:a7
Basically a "Crime Dad" sort of build - the idea is that I roll this when I'm with pubs or newbies to the game. I can generally pick them up and shotgun away the major threats. Won't be used on anything higher than Overkill, honestly.

Dodge: http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/gGHJKLMNOQr:fABCDEF:ibcdea:pN8::w73-9-4-10:s49-2-7-10:a1
It is a dodge build

Sentry Gun: http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/mgHIJKL:elMNPR:tABCDEFR:ibcdea:pS8::w36-6-4-5::a6
All sentry gun skills, almost all hostage skills, I am my own arena team. Fear us/me. Second weapon is the China Puff.

And Shenangians is whatever fun/wonky build people are talking about that I want to see what the fuss is about. Or just whenever something hits me.

How terrible are my builds and how terrible am I?

loving Spuf is useless.

So I found a thing to make custom strings in the game, and I figured why not.

It seems simple enough, but something's hung me up

Let's say I want to change "Hold [key] to pick the lock" to "Hold [key] to sneak that poo poo"

What's the poo poo I put in the string replacing text file LUA, so that it reads what key I have bound to Shout/Interact, and places it there? Or, for masking up, for "Deploy". SPUF literally just went "I dunno what you're asking but here's a Press 2 Interact mod, that's what you want, right?"

That's pretty cool. Is it easy to change the stock ticker? Do you just need to edit a .ini file or something?

I had downloaded Pirate Perfection, a cheaty trainer thing, to make it easier to zip around maps when I was modding and editing strings. One of th e things it came with was a custom stock ticker filled with casual racism & sexism, so I found "stock_ticker.lua" and edited all the names in it, as well as removing it's phone home thing where it would beg you to donate to them through the game.

If you wanted to cheese Robbedacop why are you doing it on One Down, and with turrets? One Down cops have shitloads of health that turrets can't compete with, and the spawn increase doesn't make up for the fact that they'd be much harder to kill fast regardless of what you used.

It's just cobbled together. Would Death Wish/Mayhem be better?

UnknownMercenary posted:

Not really no. I would farm it on Overkill or lower just because the health inflation is bad on Mayhem and up. And I don't know why you chose Prison Nightmare instead of a map with super aggressive close quarters spawns like The Diamond.

If the amount of sentries wasn't a giveaway, I'm using cheats. The last leg of prison nightmare was ideal in terms of just having a huge death corridor where I could just set up a bunch of sentries under infinite assault, make them invincible and never-ending ammo, then just walk away and take down the Christmas decorations.

Someone on reddit DID rig up a thing where trophies wouldn't be disabled under mutators, so as soon as I can figure out how you impliment a user script, I'm going to find the lowest-impact map possible in terms of stress on the game, turn on hydra, and set up a sentry death cannon. The game has a severe problem where whenever I alt tab back in after an hour or so of farming and try to exit the level, it just hard crashes, erasing all progress. Annoying.

code:
if not trophyEnabled	then
	
	trophyEnabled = true

	tweak_data.achievement.grenade_achievements.trophy_washington.mutators = {}
		
	tweak_data.achievement.enemy_kill_achievements.trophy_washington.mutators = {}

	tweak_data.achievement.enemy_melee_kill_achievements.trophy_washington.mutators = {}

For what it's worth I found out later that someone on cheat sites had ginned up a thing that just force-unlocks and saves all trophies, and I could have just installed that from the start after tweaking it to just the robbedacop one. :v:

Oh well, back to seeing if I can get a Friends build to work (full joker + full sentries. Not sure what to pick up after getting those trees, or which gun to use. I want to get something for long range, but then also for punching through thicker crowds?)

They can perhaps help keep civilians intimidated, like the fake sentry guns in No Mercy in PD: TH.


If you're using the CTV you can remove Aced Die Hard. it works only on ballistic vests, which the CTV isn't. I would put the 4 points in Fully Loaded for more ammo.

For a hostage taker build, melee that can stun enemies is best such that they can be easily intimidated, so maybe the Electric Knuckles or Buzzer (if you have the Golden Grin DLC) instead.

Not enough points to go into Fully Loaded. In game, at least. I picked up some QoL skills instead.

First runs: Kind of neat! A bit of a hassle to get set up, but when I can grab two converts, it becomes much easier. Collect ammo, refill sentry guns, and do a big sweep in cool down phases.
Also I found Better Bots, which I noticed let the AI Clowns dominate & intimidate cops, so I installed it and holy poo poo, something's weird in the code because the AI just would not stop dominating cops. It cheesed the whole thing when downstairs mallcrasher was just this massive glob of cuffed cops.

Step 6: Bear in mind the completion screen at the end of the heist will count your coins, so don't go too crazy. Zoidberg once set it to 1000, and was host. That was a long evening. When I want to get more coins I set it to 25.

I got curious, so I went and set mine to 1000, then opened up Cheat Engine and used the Speedhack feature of it.

The highest I got was 7x speed - anything past that and Payday 2 I guess gave up and defaulted to normal speed.

So if for whatever reason you get a huge brick of coins all at once, use Cheat Engine to increase PD2's speed to 7x, then weigh down the space bar or whatever and go do something for a few minutes.
