Is there any way to make AI not fucking braindead? Why do they drop loot bags at random?

dont think theres no

ded

I don't think they drop loot bags at random any more. Only time I see them drop them is when you get downed so the one that is determined to go help you gets there faster, and when you yell at them while at close range.

Why are YOU still playing Jewday 2?

Post more of these instead of shitposting. For some reason they're mesmerizing.

ded game

>page 9

I still have problems where if I give 3 bags to the 3 bots at once and try to walk, they just ditch them randomly while trying to walk 10m. I know they drop them if I'm too far away but sometimes they just drop them anyway when I'm close.

Public games. Not even once.

i Wonder why they even do that , whats the point ? just to piss off other players ?

There's a good chance they think they get more money if there's nobody to split it with.

Not sure what's going on there, haven't had that problem since they released the patch that fixed the random dropping.

Oh. is this all people do in OD?

How do you accidently join a stealth heist four times?

They didn't label their tactic as stealth.
Also who does stealth in public?

who put a meth lab in a shipping container
whats stopping the gang from doing the same

>What's to stop the gang from using their income to make sensible (maybe shady) investments and retiring from a life of heisting.
It aint about the money.

why don't we have bile come take it with a magnet since it's infinite money

oversaturate the market with shitloads of meth and suddenly its worthless

Wake up

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
I NEEEED A MEDIC BAAAG

First Aid Kit over here!

XDD

Why do you fags cheat? I don't mean DLC unlocker, I mean infinite ammo, all skills, 100 dodge and shit like that.
Why not just use the auto-win trainer at that point?

But I don't cheat.

What about shitters who pay for cheats/boosts in games? Like EA.

dead game

Holy shit, since when is the long barrel for the broomhandle a quasi-DMR kit?
I haven't touched the gun for a long time, but it might get itself into a lot of my builds now.

The things that makes it broken is that it doesn't affect pickup at all so you have the same shit as CAR-4 DMR kit bugged pickup

Is acing Bullseye helpful with Anarchist?

yes

Yeah do that

This is how I feel, too. Every person with the bad goy tag I've ever encountered had every skill, or god mode, or whatever the fuck.

With the exception of you faggots, at least.

COP 2 when

thanks for the inspiration...

plz no

CAR-4 does have reduced pickup
it's just 80% instead of all other DMRs' 50%

>tfw jules doesnt know that the AK762 and AMR16 DRM kits result in 0.4 ammo pickup

What's a good dodge shotgun build?

pd2tools.com/l/6753a32c0bc36fa95c789c2ed2761da0
its a dodge shotgun build at least

Mine. Just get up to overkill basic, basic the dodge/crit skills, and use the raven and the Judge.

pd2tools.com/l/af8bc179fd2390dc1f41bc48399e0f86

Threw this together in like 5 minutes it's probably good

actually
is probably better

It depends on what difficulty you want to do, I think silencer skills is a bit unnecessary but if you're doing OD and maybe deathwish it'd be better. Alternatively you could go frenzy/berserker and use anarchist with the LBV. Raven is likely better shotgun choice overall after changes, my build is older and I threw the last few points around pretty willy-nilly

frenzy anarchist still op or nah

It's fine, just not bugged and making you effectively invincible like before

>see handcuffed cop/hostage out of the corner of my vision
>instinctively headshot it instantly
how do i stop being a murderer

You dont, you are doing gods work

This, kill all those who sacrifice themselves to protect Goldbergsteins shekels.
Jokers the exceptions.

Thanks for the builds.

I hoped overkill would at least announce their plan for the next beta before doign a vacation so people could at least discuss it, but we shit nothing instead

Wow, OD really is just hiding and waiting for assaults to end. What's the point of this difficulty?

That's a very good question.

Wow, Normal really is just sprinting to the end and waiting for objectives to complete. What's the point of this difficulty?

To prove balance worse with time

Page 10 peacemaker fix never

Remember when the Western Pack was good?

No

i remember when using both peacemaker and repeater was though due both having 1 ammo pickup

>sniper couldn't 1 shot shields without spotter aced
>6-shooter has long ass reload
>dynamite was straight upgrade of the grenade
>wild west hat was ok
>bow was ok
>knife had 230 concealment
it was never good. it was ok at best

>who put a meth lab in a shipping container
Given that the cooks were dead inside, the answer is retards.
>whats stopping the gang from doing the same
Gang is too smart to cook meth in an enclosed space with no ventilation.

That and real meth takes days to cook.

All that shaking and banging around would probably blow up the lab before it gets to whatever hiding place they try to get to.

>page 9

>try Akimbo Bernetti 9 for the first time
>mfw when
For some reason I thought the shit damage was enough to write these off until I saw the RoF, crits on these puppies is pretty fun. Are the akimbo revolvers any good?

Look for the single fire mod in the modworkshop and you are golden, it's fun as fuck

haven't played since 2015,
is techforcer still good?

Depends on the difficulty and perk deck, the introduced a new difficulty that is pretty punishing towards armour, but that's true for most builds there. DW and below it's good enough.

Remade skills trees, techforcer still kinda exist, but all in enforcer tree now

thread needs a medic bag

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

ASHLEY BRING A COP 2 WITH OLD COP MASKS AND SOME NEW ONES

>page 10

Use chimano compact

akimbo revolvers are fucking awful

no ammo return and the recoil makes every shot miss

>people that use the silent assassin mod

might as well play the game without fucking guards you scrub.

>people that are not human

>he doesn't play Silent Assassin with 0 pagers allowed
It's actually a better mechanic, less randomness but carelessness fucks you harder.

>infinite amount of guards streaming into the map or spawning in the middle of the air
>no alarm goes off
>better

I'm not sure how you got that to happen, but that isn't a normal thing.

So...you turned off Silent Shitter's default "spawn more guards on kill" setting too?

>People still play this garbage
What's your rrr excuse?

What's the shittiest Crime Spree modifier and why is it Captain Winters Shields?

Define "shittiest".

Like, does nothing to difficulty, or "fuck that's broken why would you ever include that"?

Porque no los dos?

Shit as in, exceptionally bullshit.
I can get behind shit like ZEAL snipers or Heavy SWATS, and I really appreciate creative modifiers like those different bulldozer types.
But some just suck absolute dick and this is one of them.
Increases the shield's health by a fuckton and makes the shield itself fucking huge, with a usual shield's spawn rate, it's completely unfun.

I'm also talking about loud spree modifiers, because stealth modifiers are all shit.

No thanks lad.

not an option in SA.

You do know that he might just ust DLC unlocker?
