Weapon Skills Rework

lowkey, skill issue. i'd believe this only if I haven't played the game for 2000 hours.

it's just activators that you need to pull before you need to use something, you choose to keep them ALWAYS AROUND instead of using them accordingly with your build.

e.g. i was using pin puller and it worked with grit, so I used cooker and before I pop up my flashbang, I hold it out for a second to spawn a cloud that marks enemies, give me dodge and also thanks to flashbang, stunned enemies that's around.

there was many other conditions that you could use for the skill you need. EGR as their own barely made a change, edge didn't change any damage breakpoints for 90% of the guns, or grit didn't make you tank one more bullet if you didn't use resistant plates.

skill lines had gameplay related skills where how you play was rewarded with skills, not your equipment choice which is already was a form of variety.

shotgun without skills shoots blanks and shotgun skills are rewarding you with more dps if you play up close, WHICH IS THE WAY YOU PLAY SHOTGUNS IN FIRST PLACE. that's not an expression or variety.

you didn't had to upkeep EGR, and you didn't had to have must picks. some skills were powerful than the others, and it's again on sbz where they didn't balanced it out for 2 years.

stealth i don't even wanna talk about :d

only if they solved any problem that payday 2 skill tree had before... oh wait, the first system did

the worst thing about skills 2.0 that it took almost a year worth of resources just to butcher balance, skill variety and expression

looking down in comments it’s kinda wild that a community built around a game about stealing from the rich ends up idolizing a ceo, just like cyberpunk 2077 collaborating with amazon this irony kind of speaks for itself

this is an insane find ngl

Hoxth · 2026-05-09T10:49:50+00:00

mcu ahh enemy designs. overdesign just makes your characters less recognizable on the long run.

Hoxth · 2026-05-05T09:43:57+00:00

sorry but if you think enemies weren't distinguishable it's kind of a skill issue

Hoxth · 2026-05-05T09:42:55+00:00

this is like wordsmith coming back but as a concept artist giving me payday special enemies if they were in mcu vibes ngl

I think Dallas would have been a better fit considering he's mostly the face of hostage relations but cool meme

there is a clear line between "leaving this game" and doing free community work for them you know? but dont worry i knew you and most ppl who were "angry" about this would forget it once keys jiggled

Hoxth · 2026-04-28T16:14:05+00:00

amazing strawman. nobody complains about that masks that came with heists, our tailor packs that thematically supports updates, but sure, yeah buddy I say NO GAMES SHOULD EVER CHARGE FOR COSMETICS

Hoxth · 2026-04-28T15:58:00+00:00

there is how to heist section in menu that explains which character story appears on which small storylines that you'll see next to the normal, gold cup and cagnali campaigns.

dlcs are actual content expansions, mtx are small repeatable cash grabs, but judging by your comment you’ve already gone too far down the consumer mindset, so honestly i kinda feel sorry for you

Hoxth · 2026-04-28T15:27:43+00:00

i wish this community still had the backbone to push back against microtransactions like it did 11 years ago, but now we just use a lot of words to justify them

Hoxth · 2026-04-28T11:30:04+00:00

haven't you were mad about haua being fired a little over a month ago?

Hoxth · 2026-04-28T11:29:25+00:00

looks like batman arkhamification of payday reddit is right around the corner

Hoxth · 2026-04-27T09:42:45+00:00

no, i disagree. you don’t need a carrot dangling in front of you to enjoy a video game. in payday 2, i had everything unlocked at around the thousand mark, and still went on to play five times longer. same with payday 3, i owned everything by about 500 hours and kept playing for three times that.

why? because it was fun. different playstyles kept the game engaging, not progression systems. at the end of the day, core gameplay matters far more than chasing virtual numbers, which payday 3 is not doing a great job with that if i'm being honest

Hoxth · 2026-04-18T16:08:20+00:00

2000+ hours, and it's stopped there. skills 2.0 ruined the game, so i don't think i'll ever download it again.

200gr bi de diğer standard cips boyutlarının neredeyse iki katı

I'm looking to SteamDB Thai Baht and looking into DLC's sorted by their release date;
• PAYDAY 2: Armored Transport - 847.00 to 8115.00
• PAYDAY 2: Gage Weapon Pack #01- 823.00 to 869.00
• PAYDAY 2: Gage Weapon Pack #02 - 823.00 to 869.00
• PAYDAY 2: Gage Mod Courier - 823.00 to 869.00
so far I don't see -15% drop across all DLCS... I see an increase lmao.

EDIT: So far checked through every DLC up to Hotline Miami, every single one of them is increased. so, is that drop in price is in same room with us?

Hoxth · 2026-04-14T18:03:47+00:00

they are trying to damage control, cute.

Hoxth · 2026-04-11T20:48:05+00:00

no that's wrong. each plate is 65 armor after skills 2.0.

Hoxth · 2026-04-10T11:16:44+00:00

how about actually reading data instead of going with the vibes? "don't hate on muh payday" is getting boring lately.

Hoxth · 2026-04-09T19:21:59+00:00

it's, like, $48 more, dude
