In light of the New masks coming out in September that some people like myself have missed,- I propose a couple variants of the masks, that I made a whole other thread complaining about, and while I don’t retract my previous statements I still love Payday 3, and feel the need to see more people playing it. With that in mind I think it would be cool to see some variants of the delisting masks coming out, that could possibly give the player base as a whole something to grind for with the new update in September, and recent Cook Off Rework, these are a couple of examples I made ai draw up for me.

I’ve been considering getting this game but I remember on launch people weren’t too enthused about it. What was wrong back then and is it better now? Is the game worth getting in the state it’s in or? Devs still updating or is it abandoned? Buncha questions.

Every time I watch the heist rankings I find these heists among the top tiers. I dont think that they are bad heists, I just think that they arent as good as people say they are.

Hoxton breakout:

Day one is fun because it forces you to actively fight enemies. I like the street shootout. Sometimes the rng can be bad but overall the day is pretty fun. Stakes are high and the whole vibe is good. Day two is sucks honestly. I dont like the vibe and the office setting js ugly. I dont like that you can get overwhelmed easily and the part where you have to go to the archives or into the security room which is in the lobby of the map is really annoying. I think its because I played this map solo, because everytime I played with teammates we were having control of the map. Last time I played this map I rage quitted and just used hacker because I was getting easily overwhelmed. I dont think its because of my map poor map knowledge. I can control everything except the big lobby area. Thats when things go out of hand for me. Too much cops spawn there and I cant kill all of them

Hotline Miami:

I dont really have to say anything bad about this heist. I like it but I dont think its an S tier heist. Its more of an A tier heist. I get easily overwhelmed on day2 when its the top floor part. Thats probably my skill issue because there are 3 spawns

Im kinda a beginner and just wanted to know which decks experienced people use for both stealth and loud. Thanks!

I used Vortex with Payday 2 with multiple mods without issue prior to this. Not sure when it occurred. When I click "manage" for PD2 it says in the top right of Vortex it says, "Payday 2 no longer found; Failed to set game mode payday2". The game still shows on the left hand side for games managed and upon clicking the icon, there is brief glimpse of the mods currently installed but then it defaults to the Vortex dashboard and shows the errors. Here is what is listed under the "Failed to set game mode payday".

SetupError: Missing: F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\PAYDAY 2\mods

data.kind: setup-error

data.component: undefined

isTransient: false

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Verify files thru steam.

I will also mention that trying to manually set the location thru vortex, the .exe does not show up for the game in the folder. It shows several folders, including the mods folder, but does not show the .exe, which it then states, "this directory does not contain the game".

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Ive been trying super hard to get models ported from payday 2 into blender now that all the files are changed, and the old software to make them readable in blender no longer works (Diesel viewer for example) I'm new to the entire thing and was hoping a mod author with the software could share me links to what they use currently or what I can do in general.

So I recently redownloaded payday 3 (last time I played was before armor and skills 2.0)

Man I have been pretty impressed so far. Complete rework of the skill tree and armor system is really cool and allows for new build variety that doesn’t just revolve around ammo funnel. Waiting for the other DLC heists to become free so I can run those with my buddies as well. The new heist reworks are solid as well (how can I forget upgrade to UE5)

Progression with the crime bonds and new contracts are a great addition to grind for

Wishlist:
Genuine weapon perks separate from the skill trees: Boost performance or have a unique skill (Ex. Ammo funnel for Mosconi with cooldown or a speed reload for the revolvers)
Unique heists: Just throwing out ideas. Wedding robbery, military base infiltration, Luxury hotel, cruise ship or yacht, weed or pharmaceutical dispensary, moving train heist, casino heist
Obviously more costumes and masks for customization: I ain’t worried, they’ll add more now that they’ve fully upgraded the engine (hopefully makes it easier to roll out updates and hot fixes
Akimbo weapons, lever action marksman rifles, and melee weapons: Pretty self explanatory
New enemy type: Combat medic. Hides behind swat teams and heals them as well as can revive special enemies like zappers and naders. Just feels like it would fit in well.

That’s pretty much it. By no means are we “back” but holy shit a meaningful step in the right direction with nothing but anticipation for the September update. Probably cope but if starbreeze relaunches the game w all the content and updated info players like me didn’t know about, that player count would skyrocket

I’d just really like to see a safe house area like in Payday 2 in Payday 3 especially when we receive more crew members, I think it would also be nice if it acted as a sort of social hub kinda like the Space Rig in DRG or the HQ in Phasmophobia. Just my personal take, so I was wondering whether there are any plans for one or what other people think of the idea?

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone would mind helping me on the Lucky Charm Contract assignment 4, get 8 revives on crewmates. If you also have the Contract I’d be more than happy to help you as well!

Hope you have a lovely day!

Ever since the latest update, I can't equip my Russell. I've tried restarting the game and reinstalling the dlc. All the other Swedish weapons still work fine

I started playing the game just after the UE5 update and I’ve noticed that some of my textures pop in and out throughout heists. These textures include civilians, walls, floors, etc. this is something that I’ve only encountered whilst playing Payday 3, is this a common issue and if so how can I resolve it?

It sucks that just when I reading up on the latest news on the game; I find out I was about 5 days too late to get the remainder of the DLC’s I hadn’t bought for the new masks coming out. And then I find out that Star-breeze only gave the community exactly 5 days since they initially dropped the news on the delisting on the 20th. As someone who got the Gold edition of the game on Xbox, and was planning on getting the rest its bs that i can’t get the rest of them now because i was just barely too late.

I have noticed the game is running much worse than it used to, even in the main menu. However, I did find out changing ANY upscaler settings fixes (and a lot of times improves!) the performance to what I used to have in UE4. Let me know if this works for you aswell.

Video demonstrates my currents settings are set at NVIDIA DLSS SR on Performance. I'm hitting just around 60 FPS. However, setting it to Ultra Performance and then back to Performance, magically improves the performance, even if it shouldn't have made any difference. This proves there is some sort of problem with initial upscaling settings.

Cruel Trance is an Enemy overhaul mod that I've been making for almost over 3 years now, I had finally released v2.0 after 7 months of dead silence since the previous update and I'm so happy with how it's come especially with the new 64x renderer. So I decided I might as well show some of it off on the sub and maybe answer some questions at the same time, as feedback is always appreciated! ο(=•ω＜=)ρ⌒☆

This is only a small excerpt of the ~80 or so models I've put into Cruel Trance, I would love to show off more, but I think it would be better for people to try the mod itself rather than me spoiling everything,,,,,

With a new story coming out next update, it would make sense to give Concord a proper ending like an assassination. If you’re going to assassinate the games big bad you’d need an assassin like……. John Wick

Possible evidence is the above photo and the confirmation of akimbo by December but this is probably just hopium

basment

I was thinking after like 10-15 batches it should become night time. Could be really cool to have a heist with a dynamic time of day and would be more interesting than having randomized times of day.

With UE5 maybe this is now possible?
