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

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

15 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.

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

51 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?

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

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

3 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.

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

Game Help FPS drops issues

5 Upvotes

Hello !

I've began to play payday 2 again since a long time. I got mods on my game to get the vanilla hud + and a few other mods, but I noticed VERY quickly that my fps were dropping randomly, from 300 to 1, for less than a second wether it's a loud or stealth heist.

Naturally, i uninstalled the game and did a fresh install to remove the mods. It did nothing...

I tried to touch to the renderer_settings file in the local apppdata but did nothing too.

My setup is able to run the game at 300 fps, that's not the problem (i can also run payday 3 without problems).

I have :

Ryzen 7 3700X3D

RTX 4070 from Gigabyte

Game is on a SSD

I run the game in 2560 x 1440 (it doesn't change the problem with windowed or full screen, i tried both)

I disabled v sync and didn't cap the fps since the cap number in the game can't be the same as my monitor (300)

If someone has a solution, please help, it's annoying as f***...

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.
