Among the more noticeable is a change in how the game handles any damage over time effects. The thing we really wanted to bring up in this message however, is that we’ve also bundled a lot of our licensed content in the game into one DLC. We did this in order to ensure you’ll always keep access to the content regardless of any future changes. We’ll make sure to announce ahead of time when/if anything changes, we didn’t want you to worry when you spotted the DLC. This also means we’ve moved around a few of the requirements of some achievements, again, this won’t affect those who already have them. Check out the patch notes for today's update here. Edit: To be clear, won't necessarily see this DLC in any list on Steam. It'll be in the background and appear on Steam data basing websites. SBZ_SebastianPAYDAY 2: Update 240.3 ChangelogNov 29, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsPAYDAY 2: Update 240.3 Changelog Update Size: 29.8MB General: All types of Bulldozers now count for the OVERGRILL achievement. Fixed an issue that caused pager outlines to not blink. Fixed an issue that would cause the tap to interact cancel prompt to revert to default prompt, for host player. Fixed an issue where a equipped mask that was tagged with a locked DLC remained equipped but locked in inventory. Heist Changes & Optimizations: The Biker Heist - Fixed an issue that would display an incorrect string when another player picks up the blowtorch from the mechanic. Bulucs Mansion - Fixed an visual issue with a clue book disappearing from view. White House - Fixed a possible crash for clients after starting the hack in PEOC. Optimized portals on Breakfast in Tijuana heist. Optimized portals on Dragon heist. Portals is a tool to create volumes within the level to decide what objects should be visible from within it; these volumes are local to the player and may have the results of improving performances with FPS. Network: Updated network syncing of player position and camera rotation to be more efficient. Gameplay: Reworked and optimized damage over time mechanics and how their effects are handled: All damage over time applications are now synced. If multiple players apply dot on an enemy, the last attacker is the one that deals damage and gets credited for the kill, but achievements that require a certain amount of enemies to be doted, can trigger for multiple people as long as they applied the dot. The grace period on dot application only applies once for a variant of dot, and never applies again unless it expires, meaning that continuing to attack will only benefit the player. Previously, fire encouraged applying dot and to not refresh it. Fire dot effects will no longer get removed for all affected enemies whenever any fire dot expires. Burning sounds from fire dot will now follow the enemy they're applied to instead of being static on the spot. The Moneythrower will now properly apply fire damage over time with the unique money effects. Both burning sounds and fire effects will get removed if the enemy is despawned, instead of continuing to play and float around, respectively. Enemies that die while doing animations, like climbing and similar, will no longer snap into place when dying to fire damage, and will instead ragdoll like with any other damage sources. Projectiles that detonate are now hidden properly for both clients and host when needed (after detonation). They also no longer use a timer that requires the projectile to update, saving some performance. Fixed some issues of some dots, from incendiary explosions, not applying properly. Tweaked the duration of some fire death effects and burning sounds to not end too abruptly. Cloakers hiding behind doors should no longer get stuck behind them when attempting to leave. Weapons: Added a weapon firing input buffer to alleviate issues with single shot weapons not firing as expected, when ...PAYDAY 2 Weekend Sale!Nov 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFall is upon us, the leaves turning beautiful shades of yellows and oranges and us heisters get the perfect excuse to stay inside and play PAYDAY.

SBZ_SebastianPAYDAY 2: Update 240.2 ChangelogSep 27, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Heisters As you noticed Update 240 was separated into multiple releases. We've had some time to add some QOL and fixes that are hard to fit into a normal production schedule. We are very happy to be able to get these final improvements into the game. For example, in update 240.0 we made the anniversary events automatically return each year the piggy, and the event weapons will come back for those who can get enough of that adorable porker. Also, some holiday cheer will come back around the winter holidays to brighten up our cold heister hearts. In this release, however, we are adding a new feature to the game that is inspired by popular mods in the community. Interaction Styles This feature lets you change how the game handles interactions. The system will lock interaction to let you release the button and avoid holding it down for the duration of the interaction timers. To cancel out of a locked interaction you simply need to press the button again. It is quite a complex system so it needs some explaining, Let's dive into the fun QOL feature. By looking under "controls" under the options menu you will find all the settings you need. The system has two key components the "Interaction Style" where you choose how the interactions should be handled and the "Toggle Timer" that drives the system. There are four interaction styles to choose from. There is also a cancel message check box more on that later. Hold This is the normal default behavior that you are used to. Holding the button to interact, and letting go will cancel the interaction. The Toggle Timer has no effect in this mode. Toggle This is the simplest way to lock an interaction. A quick click of the button and the interaction is locked. The toggle timer will be used to determine how long you need to hold the button to cancel the interaction. this is to easily cancel out accidental interactions or when you want to be able to quickly abort an interaction. Setting the Toggle Timer to 0 will make the system function similar to the default hold mode. For example: if you have a Toggle Timer of 2 seconds the interaction will lock as soon as you press the button but if you hold the button for longer than those 2 seconds the system will revert to the hold mode and you can release their interaction at will. Recommendation: Have a low Toggle Timmer so you can quickly engage the system but also won't need to wait long for it to deactivate if you choose to hold the interaction instead. Timed Toggle This function can be viewed as the reverse of the Toggle. You need to hold the button for a certain amount of time determined by the Toggle Timer before the interaction locks in and keeping the button held will not abort it. Setting the Toggle Timer to 0 will make the system function similar to the Toggle mode, without the ability to automatically abort the interaction by keeping the button held down. For example: if you have a Toggle Timer of 2 seconds the interaction will function as a normal hold in...PAYDAY 3: Now Available!Sep 21, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458711/d1b9ec85587cbf15bcc50fa963e1065c05bf97ef.png PAYDAY 3 Heisters!

If you missed any of the days, you’ll still be able to access the event website and view the days separately. We started celebrating with a very special 10-hour stream. The first 7 hours were hosted by Almir, he was joined by guests from the development team and told lovely stories about his memories from years past. The remaining 3 hours were hosted by our friends and former OVERKILL founders now at 10 chambers. They likewise told stories about their time developing PAYDAY 2. We followed up with a memory wall, letting you heisters share your memories from PAYDAY 2 with the rest of the community. Friendships found, good times had and a lot of stolen goods later, 10 years passed. We’ve loved seeing your stories heisters, we hope to hear them from you for years to come. Of course, it wouldn't be much of a celebration if there were no in-game items, right? So we added a whole bunch of items and tied them to a community challenge. What brings heisters together more than working together for profit? The event revolves around feeding a giant golden piggy with the fruits of excessive violence. Check out the details and what items have been unlocked on the event page. We got the soundtracks updated! The Original Soundtrack Vol.2 by Simon Viklund and later the Chinatown Music Pack by Gustavo Coutinho were both added to spotify after what can only be described as a truckload of legal tape. We hope you enjoy them both! Next, the lost tapes! What were they, what story did they convey? Who’s after the Payday Gang and why did the Gang come back from retirement in PAYDAY 3? We added a helpful link to one of our partners who made a handy video. To the bottom of this day’s event page. Next up was the Live Action teaser! We’ve seen a lot of heisters doubting that we’d return to making live action, fortunately for everyone, we did! Check out the teaser here. You can also now see the full version here. Where would PAYDAY be without modding? Hard to say, but we feel grateful to our modding community regardless. We made a donation to mod workshop and encouraged our heisters to check out modding if they haven’t before. The Thank You video, a heartfelt thank you from the PAYDAY 2 team to you, without whom this would all have been for nothing. Our appreciation is hard to impart in just one video, but we hope you know that we do appreciate your support. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458711/b4ff12019dac94b8c7dd477536b2734494448d3e.png Dead Game suit!

RELATED LINKS: Get Payday 2 as a free game ahead of its sequel Payday 2 just got a new heist, and it marks the end of Texas Heat Payday 2 is basically a free game during this sale PAYDAY 2: Coming price changes for certain regionsAug 18, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsWhat’s happening? Some of you have noticed not being able to participate in the ongoing PAYDAY 2 sale, or might have heard from friends that they are having issues. The most common issue is that items on sale are available and visible, but the buy-button is grayed out. This is due to a recent change in Steam’s pricing policy that changed the minimum acceptable price of any piece of content on the Steam Store to $0.99 as standard, or $0.49 on sale.. This limit is the same, in USD, regardless of what currency you make your actual purchase in. These problems are particularly noticeable in heavily discounted bundles, something we use often to discount PAYDAY 2. When one of the DLCs in a bundle costs less than the minimum limit of $0.49 on sale, the whole bundle will become unavailable for purchase. If you’d like to know more about how this works, start with the blog post linked above! What’s changing? Due to this, we’ll need to raise the prices of our DLCs in certain regions to ensure that the bundles are purchasable and that we can set the discounts at the levels we want going forward. We wanted to let you know ahead of time, to give you a chance to purchase the DLCs you want at their current price if possible. If not, they should be available for their regular, non-discounted price for a short period of time before the base price is increased. Will this affect my region? There’s no one answer since it’s very likely many regions will see some minor change. Smaller changes may occur even in regions where the issues aren’t as readily apparent. We also expect a few DLCs to get lower prices as part of this change, but assume you guys are cool with that. Going forward, we'll mostly rely on the standard pricing matrix provided by Valve. Doing so will “normalize” the price of PAYDAY 2 when compared to other titles on the platform. More information here. The countries we know for a fact will see an increase are Turkey and Argentina who have been having issues related to this for an extended period. Infamous Collection If the issues mentioned above have been relevant anywhere, it’s been the Infamous Collection. In this brand new bundle, we collected all available PAYDAY 2 DLC at a permanent 52% discount. This setup caused some of the DLCs to fall below the $1 limit for a number of regions, prompting us to expedite these pricing changes. We apologize for the inconvenience, our goal is to change as little as possible while making the game available for more people.

This new issue happened to players who had completed the personal part of the side job before the hotfix went live. We can finally say that this issue has now been addressed and we hope you will enjoy the musket for the rest of the event. Changes Fixed an issue where the completion of the "SMASH AND GRAB" event side-job would not load correctly for some people. Fixed an issue where buffs and warthog presence would not sync correctly to drop-in clients. Updates may be incompatible with the mods you may have installed.
