Sydney has the worst background story of the entire crew... after Sokol.

There is literally nothing wrong with Sokol

beta.pd2skills.com/

We should add this to the op until the skills update is released

Agreed, I just went a little more in depth on Sokol's background, although Sydney story is piratically, "Hey, can I join the Payday gang?" while everyone else were indicated to join for their professionalism and not because they wanted to be famous criminals.

5th for best music

Body expertise should be allowed to work on dozers.

Also the skill is too expensive for what it is.

>PD:TH soundtrack
>Not Code Silver

Oh, I understand then. I don't think his backstory is 'bad' exactly, I just want to know more about it and his life in general. I mean, it's not like he's just some random hockey player. He was definitely doing heists and using Hockey as a cover.
I wish all of the characters got an indepth backstory like Sydney did, actually.

beta.pd2skills.com/#/v3/mlr:eFGHjKLMNpQr:tHIKLr:gjl:::

So the new Techforcer objective-god build is going to roughly look like this?

10th for lewds

But Sydney's in-depth background story is shit, she's piratically a young trouble maker who wanted fame and for that she tried to find a way to join the Payday gang.
NONE of the characters joined the damn gang for fame, neither they WANTED to join the gang, they were either contracted by Bain or by other gang members. Unlike everyone else, she does not have professional achievements behind her, she just made part of a young delinquent gang.
Although I do like her voice responses, she's one of my favorite heisters for that, I just wish she had a better story other than that shitty fanfic.
I'll wait until she's in a 75% promotion to buy her.

Sydney's backstory sucks yeah
I meant I wish all the characters had GOOD in-depth backstories

Yeah, it would be nice. I want to see how Chains met John Wick or know more about Jiro's son.

>Sitting on 25 dollars in my steam account
Bring on the Sydney safes already!

Try using an up to date calculator, maybe.
payday.drakendomain.net/

i really want to know how all the heisters get along with eachother ;_; we know how hox and houston are but what about everyone else?

So what is Jiro actually saying when he has that line that sounds like "Imasu big guy"

John Wick: Has a entire movie about his backstory and how badass he is. Met Chains during the military and they probably kept contact.

Clover: Was sent after Hoxton but was outmatched by him, Hoxton instead of killing her decided to teach her the joys of heisting. She went solo for a while but they reunited again after.

Dragan: Corrupt Interpol agent sent by the Butcher.

Jacket: Probably hired by the Dentist or Wolf for the Hotline Miami job as he has a "history" with them. Jacket has military background and survived a suicide mission.

Bonnie: Managed to find vital information about the Payday gang though gambling, she also helped them to find Hoxton's backstabber.

Sokol: Known for robbing Casinos and using Hockey as a way to hid himself. He designed the drill used in Golden Grin.

Jiro: Former Yakuza member, he was told about Bain by his boss.

Bohdi: Founder of the Ex-Presidents gang. His actions and skill got Bain's attention.

Jimmy: Clone of the original Jimmy, he carried information about Akan's plan and was willing to pay and aid the Payday gang on the job against Akan.

Sydney: Random delinquent who stole shit from the Payday gang somehow and this made Bain wanted to hire her?

That's all we got really.

>has a "history" with them
By "them" I meant the Russian Mobsters.

>"Okay guys, I'm going to wait up here and block the cops who are scripted to spawn when the vault opens"
>1-3 of them drop down
>Somehow get absolutely memed on by green dozers
>I step once goddamn inch into that vault and all of those fucking cops spawn behind me

I'm pretty sure Jacket is straight up non-canon

That's what you get for trying to cheat.

That aside I just don't get how people get fucking obliterated by Green dozers like that

There's so much cover and you can just LoS them so easily down there

I mean sure if they meatshot you without armor you immediately explode but fuck

It's the peekaboo conundrum.

If you have LoS with the dozer, the dozer has LoS with you (aka. your head that it's shooting at).

So what happens is that either the pub is a retard standing in the open, or they think that the dozer will hit the corner wall while they peek out and spend 20 minutes shooting at the dozer. And thus, the pub goes down.

Also most people don't know that cops don't have spread, just dice rolls. They either miss you and the bullet goes through your character model, or they hit you and the bullet stops when it hits your character model.

>do this
>team kills the dozers, starts tossing money
>vault doors open, no big cop spawn
>teammates start tossing bags up
>go down the stairs to help
>the big cop spawn happens anyways

Nothing bad happened in the end, but still, bravo OVK

Yeah, no, the moment the game recognizes that all players have stepped into the vault is when they spawn, as far as I can tell, even if you step in after everyone has already left?

It's still so easily prevented, just wait a few goddamn seconds for your armor to come back and you can damage race him every time!

Wolf was seen carrying Jacket's piece on Golden Grin casino trailer tho, also the FBI files heavily suggest that he might be canon to the universe... Dennis Wedin also kinda answered it by saying "What do you think? :)".That smiley face there, is total proof that Jacket is canon.
Being serious now, the Jacket in Payday is probably another Jacket from somekind of alternate universe like in Injustice... or Jacket just escaped prison before THAT happened.

Okay, so one of the recent patches said that it re-enabled the COP Safe again. I thought this meant we were getting another safe, but I'm wrong?
Or is it just enabling it for the 3 people that didn't open it when the update hit?

We're just pretending that the ending threw Jacket into a time portal to present day DC.

Ah. Yeah. I double-checked and I'm wrong about him being non-canon. That's my bad.

Just the 3 people who bought the overpriced COP DLC from a reseller after the safes+drills hit.

>Maniac is actually pretty damn good

I might start running this with my masterforcer loadout, getting some health regen on top of the damage reduction sounds spicy.

Pretty pleasant surprise after the last few perk decks turned out to be pretty lacking

Maniac is one of my favorite decks, to be honest.
Feels nice to be rewarded for killing that isn't just health regen, and it's great for support too.

>Pretty pleasant surprise after the last few perk decks turned out to be pretty lacking
maximum shitter here who doesn't know a thing
Is Anarchist really that lacking? I tried it after coming back to the game since around the time Dragan came out and running the armor skills in enforcer + Anarchist I have like 270 armor or some shit in a LBV and I feel pretty fuckin invincible alot of the time.
Granted I'm too pussy to try anything on Deathwish so maybe that's just Overkill being easy in general.

If you've got a semi-reliable team then try it with Frenzy and Berserker, you'll fucking love it.

Deathwish shreds armor in a matter of seconds, health regen/dodge is king.

fucking magic science electromagnets exist, jacket came through a time travelling dimension hopping portal device

I'm not actually sure about Anarchist, since I don't own Sydney. I was mostly referring to Yakuza and Expres to a slightly lesser extent.

But people have described it as 'Grinder but armor' so it can't be THAT bad.

Play Death Wish you coward

...

Dead

Is it me or is the Relentless tree garbage outside of swan song?

4 downs is nice and cheap

male heisters
>all professionals, all wound up in the gang through high level contacts
female heisters
>more than half have never even lived a life of crime, all of them should either be dead or civilians, only wound up in the gang through street level contacts

M-MUH FEMINISM

at least now we know why all the females look like gutter trash.

Hello heisters! New side jobs are out!

Today's Daily Side Jobs are:
- Caribbean Pirate (caribbean_pirate)
- I Am The One Who Knocks (halloween_1)

Keep those helmets flying! ;)

45th for slav cloakers being best cloakers.

>They're never going record new lines for Clover to interact with Jimmy or Sydney
>She just yells at them in the same way as hostages.

Ashley claimed the new voice lines are delivered in small bits throughout patches, so Clover will say it eventually.

Wolf on the other hand..

>Clover acting like a banshee to everyone,

Sounds normal to be honest

Name a single good primary weapon that came with a heister.
Pro tip: You can't

Joceline

GL40 came with Wolf :^)

gl40 wasn't even a primary in pdth.

>Shitgun
>Good
Pick one

>He hasn't deleted a room of cops in two clicks with Fugiforcer

>every smg sans like 3 suck total ass
If only the krinkov had more ammo capacity

FUCK. ME. HARD.

SHIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELD

>tfw dodge suit build while sprinting without crouching has same amount of EHP as ICTV
this game is loony

>FugiForcer

Mosconi is better, or Raven in the beta

You're not wrong but I was under the impression that saying "Shitgun" implied that the poster thought every shotgun was bad.

remember when shotguns were good and we all gave them pet names

i miss those times

We'll be a bit closer to that again with the beta since shotguns might actually be usable without the point investment

The lewdest

Using the dlc unlocker, via BLT causes hoxhud games to kick me.

When I turn off the dlc unlocker I no longer have the dlc's unlocked

What am I doing wrong? I didn't have to enter any lua script like the guide told me to do.

The game has an autokick cheaters option that's active by default and using the DLC unlocker flags you as one.

Upon further trial and error, only primary and secondary weapons from dlcs unlocked like this get me kicked. Characters/perk decks/melees do not

Sokol made a big useless drill that won't even be used if you follow plan A.

Yeah but fuck stealthing GGC, it's just a 'sit back and let one person do everything' job while everyone else plays slots.

That and nobody hosts that heist at all. The only people I ever see hosting a GGC lobby is people who cheat

The Jacket hired by the crew is a copy cat killer at best. Jacket would be 50+ years old by the time the game takes place and he also kinda died in an atomic bomb. The original Jacket also wasn't a true mute, and wouldn't be silly enough to use the tape recorder. Plus the Richard Returns mask looks nothing like the original Richard. So the argument that it's a copy cat killer feels more valid than believing he's a time frozen radiation ghost that took an arts and crafts class to make a new mask and then decided to go robbing banks.

>overkill releases a shit heist that lags everyfuckingbody
>only people still playing it are cheatingscum
Poetry.

I mean, I like running it now and again but mostly just for stealth. Doing it loud just isn't all that interesting, and it's comfy to sneak around in it.

Which, as I said, why bother opening it to other players when you stealth

>cheatingscum
Bad goys are your friends. They fight for truth, justice, and the Aryan way.

No, see, I don't care about people being bad goys. I don't give a shit about people pirating DLC or Weapon skins or whatever the fuck

But it's never just that. They always have other shit like infinite health/ammo or all skill points or their interactions take half a second and their drills finish instantly

That's not being a bad goy, that's being a bitch nigga

>But it's never just that.
I'm sure it more often than not is just that. Juden.

If they didn't add the extra guards in the back to DW, I would've considered stealthing it more.

It's been 100% consistent for me.

Maybe it's bad luck.

Just kill em. Once the cameras are down you're free to and you shouldn't need to kill the ones patrolling the floor.

I thought the dlc unlocker didn't flag as cheater though. Am I missing something? Because only hoxhud is kicking me for attempting to use these things

There are more than 4 roaming around in the back area. That's the problem. Can't just stealth it all comfy-like and take my time.

It's still doable, you just can't fuck up unless the guard you fuck up on happens to be one the one guard who patrols the whole map

Which is a shame because I always enjoyed killing locker room guard and showing him who the boss of this gym was

The locker room guard never leaves the locker room. He's pretty much non-factor after you got the briefcase code in there.

I did it just recently and there are only technically four guards back there.

The two who are always there
The third guard there on DW
And the guy who patrols the whole map.

There's also locker room guy but you can ignore him. Maybe I lucked out but I moved all the money solo and wasn't harassed by any more guards.

Yeah, I mostly just shot him for fun but you can't do it anymore

The DLC unlocker is the only thing that actually flags you as a cheater. You used to get flagged if you picked up grenades from grenade cases but I'm pretty sure they removed that. and it has never flagged godmode instant drillers.

HEY YOU, GET ON YOUR FEET

I thought the point was that they were a signature perk for enforcers.

Basically everyone used the loco before the unbalance

But then they made shotguns literally fucking unusable without investing in shotgun CQB minimum because otherwise they did so little damage

>people using the predator 12G unironically

On DW or OVK? I'm pretty sure you could intentionally use the shittiest build/weapons imaginable and be fine on OVK

Post raifus.

...

>join pub
>host is a bagspawning, kill-all hacker
>wants a good xp job he can spam bags on
>suggest Big Oil

He's trying to throw all the bags in the chopper and getting maaaaad.

They did buff it to 90 damage recently.

>join pub,
>host is I-100 and want to try an ICTV memeserker build,
>decide to pick undercover hard because he's afraid of failing it,

Had to spend five minutes convincing him it was calm on Overkill too.

>smg
Fuck off no-guns

Did the large clip give it away?

that's because you need to use the anti-cheater tag hack before you can use godmode or instant drills, you don't for dlc items which flags you during the lobby

Where can I find the anti cheater tag hack?

>tfw still missing one or more weapon mods for almost all my guns so can't post raifus because they would be scantily clad

such is life~u

it's part of an "overkill" blt mod on a commonly found hack forum of unknown origins

I find sydney offensive.
And thats not even counting her looks, seriously its like Overkill learned everything about female australian voices off of shit shows like Housos and fat pizza.
