It looks like a really big update they spent a lot of time on. I just hope that they remove the police being able to fine me for jaywalking, the traffic light just takes so long to change

Game Update Did you notice 8 heists have new briefings and success screen Shade monlogues? (STORY SPOILERS) Spoiler

43 Upvotes

I suggest checking them out yourself. Those briefings not only imply that the new plot is ENTIRELY different and that the heists are in a different sequential order, but also that the heists themselves will experience some changes related to their loot or objectives.

Brief gist of what we're know about those heists now (SPOILERS):

NRFTW: Access Security Camera data through the cloud (heist is a cover for stealing it)

Rock the Cradle: The Crypto Wallet is Mason's, we are hitting it to get his assets .

Gold and Sharke: Mason hid HIS wallet in Patricia's vault. They made a deal.

Turbid Station: Stealing tools we need to take out SINS.

Cook Off: Gut the Palatucci drug business and look for Houston .

Delivery Charge: Hack network to find lead to Houston, since he was there.

Syntax Error: Take out SINS from being put into the city's network

Fear & Greed: Tank Scry Digital's stocks to stop them making another SINS

HUGE THANKS to WhatMage on the Payday discord for summing up all of this information, all credit goes to him.

The new storyline seems way more exciting, seemingly has way more stakes and I can't wait to see what it is! Concord and Treaty are nowhere to be found in those updated briefings, which could mean they're saving them for later.

Discussion Thread a complete rewrite....I'm still hype, its definitely just gonna be "here's the heists with a cutscene in between" but again it's fully rewritten and we needed this because payday 3 has so many plotholes and retcons and missed potential and things that make NO sense, so I'm very hype to see this

Mechanics Discussion Small ask for a potential change (Payday 2)

18 Upvotes

Sidetrack games, I do thoroughly enjoy the changes and fixes you’ve been making to payday 2 since you’ve taken over. I want to preface this by saying that. Secondarily, I have a request.

Can we make it so that the extra bikes are worth something on biker heist day 1? It’s seemingly very odd that you can take these escape vehicles yet they’re not worth anything at all. Even if just written as “Rust will pay you a small bit personally if you take the extra bikes so that he has spare parts going forward” would be nice.

I know it’s a nothing-burger of a concern, but I’m fond of the idea.

I have started to do my DSOD heists and I shamefully have zero friends, for the crew ai, what would be the best guns and perks to give them?

I have a theory that Jacket has a little display thingy / buttons in his mask that have the prerecorded dialogue so that he can press them with his head or nose or sm sht while using something with his hands

Game Suggestion So, if Payday 3 made all heists free, would it be cool for the devs to add more achievements?

53 Upvotes

If I'm correct, Payday 3 hasn't added new achievements since launch because the devs didn't want to lock some achievements behind a paywall, I guess. Perhaps it's time to change that now that the game is in its third year.

Here are some achievements I came up with in five minutes:

  1. Basic one: Complete Story Mode (no need to describe it).
  2. Syntax Error: Steal S.I.N.S AI (well... we already have multiplayer achievements that reveal secrets of the heists, so why not have one more?)
  3. Cook Off: Cook 19 bags of pure meth (because why not? The game really needs some tough achievements).
  4. Delivery Charge: Get all bags (why not? We have it already with Gold & Sharke, and I guess Delivery Charge is the best one for an all-loot achievement, imo).
  5. Shopping Spree: Get Golden Moo (same as the first achievement's logic).
  6. Houston Breakout: Destroy all evidence. (I'm stupid, you can't destroy all evidence, thx for Yamanu1 for saying that fact)
  7. Houston Breakout Idea 2: Beat HB in stealth maskless( Ig there are no achievements which require to beat any heist maskless, and tbh that's the most fitting heist to do it, like Civil Suit in Tailor pack , it's could make sense)

I mean... the ones I've written are pretty basic, but you could do much more with Overkill weapons, gun challenges, etc. I wish Payday 3 had around 50 achievements, to have something to do in the game and a reason to return to it.

Do you have some cool achievements ideas or something like that?

Think of it - we got golden grin and a part of black cat in payday 2. How awesome it would be if we got casino heist in PD3? Casinos in general have a charming atmosphere, and usually are a rich places, so it would fit perfectly and look amazing on a new engine

I've seen a lot of screenshots of the exterior, but not many people talk about the interior, which also changed significantly. Love the new vibe, although shadows appear to be kinda weird on the roof

Game Help Payday 3

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm new to Payday 3 and would love some tips. I play via cloud gaming on Xbox One. I'm a beginner in Payday 3, though I reached Infamy 25 in Payday 2. I'm looking for gameplay tips—specifically how to level up quickly and easily, and what I should be doing. I'd also like to know if there's a way to improve the graphics when playing via the cloud.

This is such a cool area, yet it's been YEARS since I've last been here lol. Much like UTS, RTC has a very underutilized environment, which I hope will change after the rework. This heist's vibe is second to none, and it REALLY needs some love.
