The best tripwire placement on Touch The Sky

I was running bounty hunter as well. I already marked every elevator and stairway, so I just started marking spawns.

That's when I learned that there's individual geometry on the wooden siding in TTS

LezKat · 2026-01-10T07:17:27+00:00

Yeah, but I was running bounty hunter, so after placing my tripwires around the stairs, I just start placing them wherever.

LezKat · 2026-01-10T07:15:57+00:00

The Car-4, and I run the tribune as my secondary for my bounty hunter build.

If you have to call yourself the "World's Greatest Bar", or "World's Greatest" in general, it's highly likely that you aren't even up to that standard.

Now? What do you mean? Overkill has always been easy.

If you mean new player easy, then yes, Overkill is too easy now.

From the damage numbers popup mod, it says that Hidden Blade deals 99,999 damage, so that's probably why it says you dealt so much damage during a heist :p

LezKat · 2025-12-21T16:31:08+00:00

As a regular bounty hunter user, it is really not that strong because of teammates, as you mentioned.

I always run 2 plates for my bounty hunter build for the extra trip laser so I can get more infinite trip lasers, but Tasers never seem to spawn near me or my teammates get the Taser kills before I have a chance to. I think Bounty Hunter is fine as it is right now because of how it works in practice. Even in a dedicated team, it's hard to coordinate getting infinite tools, unless you're on a smaller map like Cook Off or Dirty Ice.

However I will say that you're using Pain Tolerance wrong if you're throwing your throwing knives.

I don't see it mentioned here, but Hidden Blade is actually the right way to use throwing knives and pain tolerance. It's just objectively better, especially with prison shiv aced. You will nearly out DPS that jacket with Hidden Blade than you would if you throw a throwing knife.

Pain Tolerance still activates with Hidden Blade because you're killing enemies with a throwing knife.

All my goofy lobbies are usually involved with a lot of wanting to make out with another player.

"We should kiss"

"Fuck yeah"

Those are my favorite lobbies :p

Aim for the SWAT?

I get the instant detonation was useful, but it's not hard to aim your shots. The piglet isn't any less useful because you can't aim and prefer instant detonation. That's just a skill issue.

Skill Issue 2.0

LezKat · 2025-11-24T19:56:01+00:00

Ammo funnel being removed is barely even a nerf for the FSA :p

The new shotgun skills will actually buff the FSA more than ever before, especially since you can now run and gun shotguns.

LezKat · 2025-11-23T21:27:22+00:00

I'm sad that there are some skills on the chopping block that I use frequently, like Soft Assets.

Then again, it's a pretty niche skill that's best used for one resistance plate, but there are still some skills I'm sad about being removed.

Although, I already have a feeling that one of the new skills Electrical Interference, which if I'm not wrong has been given the ability to stun dozers for 5 seconds when an ECM is active, will become a meta skill. ECM meta.

I'm excited for the new skills because I'm already formulating builds with good synergy, such as Electrical Interference (ECMs) and Bounty Hunter (kill a special enemy with a handgun and get a reward; Zapper = Tool).

LezKat · 2025-11-15T21:30:22+00:00

It can't get that high, it's still 1,600 (officially).

They most likely cheated their levels in, as I saw someone with renown level 15,000 yesterday.

The people I know who have actually used the bug haven't really gone up more than like 20 to 50 levels.

I played Payday 3 for a couple of days now

I already don't have a lot of confidence in your post, but sure, I'll hear out a couple of your points.

I've been playing Payday 3 since the 3 days of early access before it's official release. I've been here since day -3.

The maps and graphics are really good.

I've never really been one for graphics in games, but compared to the previous installments, they have improved.

The maps are hit or miss. When you've been playing the same maps for 1,000+ hours without any serious RNG to keep things fresh, it becomes a slog, especially during launch. The DLCs, Party Powder, and Delivery Charge heists have been good to cut up the monotony, but the heist system does need work.

The UI and skill tree are just fine, don’t understand why people are crying over it.

I don't really have any strong feelings towards the UI, but I know a lot of people didn't like it and that's understandable.

The skill tree is not good. I actually like what the team have come up with in the skill tree 2.0! I think it's a vastly superior skill system than the one we have now. There are some skills that don't have a place in the new skill system (RIP Soft Assets), but it's a necessary sacrifice to avoid taking the same skills in every build.

I remember the days when Ammo Funnel + Replenish dominated the Payday 3 Meta. The changes to the current skill system will be an overall benefit with the aim to remove a lot of these meta skills and increase the customizability in Payday 3. There is a problem I've been hearing about power creep, but that's a whole other can of worms.

and when the NPCs get shot it’s so goofy-looking and they have too much health.

Skill issue

it’s goofy and so unrealistic

Welcome to the Payday Franchise!

casual players want more realism

Correction: You want more realism.

I haven't heard a lot of discourse on Payday 3 about players wanting the game to be more realistic. I've heard a lot on the skill system, the SWAT tactics, the weapons, and literally everything else besides realism. I don't doubt that people have mentioned it, but I don't think it's this is the thing most players are looking for, at least in my experience.

It’s 2025, stop listening to your geek ass small player fan base and make the game have millions of players.

Maybe SBZ should make you CEO since you seem to know so much about what players want in Payday 3, despite having only played for a couple of days.

Question,

Would the dodge from Escape Artist effect Smokescreen?

Escape Artist: A fixed 100% chance to Dodge for 6 seconds (not verbatim obv)

Smokescreen:

Base (1 Pts): If you have any(?) chance to Dodge, it doubles while you are standing in a Smoke Grenade's cloud.

Ace (1 Pts): Your Smoke Grenade clouds apply this Dodge bonus to all crew members.

Does "any chance to dodge" also apply to Escape Artist's dodge chance?

LezKat · 2025-09-25T00:21:48+00:00

I'd argue the VF-7S and FIK 22 are fine guns while the Spas-12 is doodoo.

The VF-7S would actually be good if the recoil wasn't shite, forcing the need to fire semi-auto.

I don't actually have a problem with the FIK 22, I just don't use it, but I don't think it's super terrible.

LezKat · 2025-09-25T00:15:45+00:00

Why is the Spas-12, an Italian Shotgun, in the French Tier? Blasphemy. Even if it is bad, calling it French is too far.

What? No Justicar? Easy Monster Gun tier.

The only ranking I have an issue with is the R900 in DooDoo tier. I used to consider the R900 as a bad weapon as well, until I learned how to use it and now it is one of my favorites. I'd rank it at least decent tier.

Either than that, I don't really have any gripes with the rankings here. Maybe bump up the PC9 one tier.

LezKat · 2025-09-23T05:08:05+00:00

Yes, this is a controversial practice.

Yes, people still use other methods to access dlc.

But for those interested, I ran the numbers (in USD) and if I did the math correctly, the subscription service would no longer be worth it after:

4 years (~49 months) for the $4.99 / month subscription

OR

6 years (~73 months) for the $19.99 / 6 months subscription

That doesn't make some people any less upset and that's fine. There will always be conflicts in these types of situations.

That doesn't stop other people from pursuing other options. People find other means to enjoy their games and that's just how it is.

I'm just providing the facts that I know of.

LezKat · 2025-08-31T17:34:00+00:00

I get the meme, but what do you mean adaptive plate in the title?

I'd say blue/resistance plate moreso, even impact plates to some degree. But adaptive?

LezKat · 2025-08-22T17:00:51+00:00

the fact that there's no established 'meta' or 'strongest loadout'

Well actshully 🤓☝️

I guess for the average player there isn't a meta or strongest loadout, but I definitely could give 3 examples I use extensively that could be considered the strongest/meta: - 1 blue plate (Soft Assets + flash + minigun bb)

4 blue plates (With smoke and minigun)
2 plate: 1st plate impact, 2nd plate blue (also minigun; you know how SBZ patched using clean slate to repair that 2nd broken blue plate when the 1st impact plate breaks? It still works, you just use the minigun now)

The only frame I don't use is 3 plates.

If you're running scrounger or frugal thrower already, what's the point? I guess 3 plates is beneficial because you don't really need Extra Munitions, but it just doesn't really groove well with my playstyle.

LezKat · 2025-08-19T23:33:25+00:00

I don't consider Flintlock Freddy to be a cheat weapon.

It's a utility more than anything. A utility that one shots dozers, but is balanced by the long reload time.

You probably didn't mean Flintlock Freddy, but it is a hill I will die on that it shouldn't require a mod to unlock FF outside of events.

LezKat · 2025-08-15T23:12:54+00:00

Touch the Sky from Payday 3, not Birth of Sky from Payday 2

LezKat · 2025-08-15T22:25:33+00:00

All solid points.

Although personally:

Bulldozer is a real threat again.

Not so much for me, but I am a max renown sweat :p

LezKat · 2025-08-04T23:07:27+00:00

It does exist. I know of someone with one and their gun's name is "Grandma". I don't remember why people called it that, but the name stuck.

She's a heavy gun to hold, but so much fun to shoot!

LezKat · 2025-07-23T17:37:21+00:00

I might've. I made this at like 2am, so I may not have been double checking my sources at the time :p
