​
First of, many thanks to everyone who joined the Stream yesterday. We had great fun talking about the new Story Line feature and answering your questions. On day three of the Locke and Load event it is time for some new content.

Without going into too much depth, today's update includes a new way to keep track of your achievements, which will be well needed due to the sheer amount of achievements going in together with the feature. On top of that we gave the Contract Broker an overhaul as well as all loading screens and some of the black screens, which should now have a more emerging sound. Last but not least you can now filter for modded servers on CrimeNet.

Read about the content and updates on the ​Locke and Load website.

Free 2 Play? Discount on the Ultimate Edition? You heard right! During the whole duration of the Locke and Load Event PAYDAY 2 will be Free 2 Play, so tell your friends and bring them into the world of crime! In case you miss some DLCs to complete your collection, now is the right time! We decided to celebrate this event even further by reducing the price for the Ultimate Edition!


Since we were already fiddling with the achievements we took the time to make a few changes to already existing ones as well. In addition we’d like to thank everyone of you for your name suggestions. Find out for yourself if yours made it into the game. Lastly, we are aware of the fact that many of you will unlock a lot of achievements right after you start the game. This behavior is intended and a result of how our achievements work. For example, you will unlock Normal, Hard and Very Hard achievements if you complete the achievement on Overkill difficulty.

The second day of the event and we are out with a hotfix for the content released yesterday. The base game is available as free to play during the whole time of the event and if you own the game or plan on owning it, there is discount to the Ultimate Edition and it’s upgrade.

​
​

Today we are doing a hotfix to adjust a few issues that arose from the update yesterday. For example the Story Line feature could create dlc locked levels in multiplayer mode and Crime Spree was unavailable in offline mode. Have you guys checked the webpage yet? A little bird told me that is definitely worth checking out.



Unfortunately it’s necessary to lock the functionality to play DLC level in Story Line mode without owning the corresponding DLC to offline mode. You can of course play the level with any other player that does own the required DLC or the Ultimate Edition. The functionality to try the level via the Story Line feature is still available in offline mode. Hopefully this did not cause to much issues for people that were marked as a cheater without doing anything wrong.

The day that we’ve all been waiting for is finally here, the first day of the Locke and Load event. I hope you all are excited because we have lots of great things in store for you!

We are starting out with some nice new way to experience the lore of PAYDAY 2. There will be some updates to make the experience of using Crime.net smoother. There are also some masks dropping to get you started on the event, enjoy these awesome new low-res masks.

We are not only getting updates in-game, but outside the game as well. From now on you can reach your favourite verified Discord Server using this URL: http://discord.gg/PAYDAY2

Read about the content and updates on the ​Locke and Load webpage.

To make sure you all can enjoy the Locke and Load event to the fullest, PAYDAY 2 is free to play for the whole duration of the event. On top of that, the price of the PAYDAY 2 Ultimate Edition will be heavily discounted. Only stealing would be cheaper!

We made a couple of changes to the Normal difficulty. The goal is to give a more even experience to new and low level players. The gap between high damage and low damage weapons for the enemies was too large. This created a set of enemies that would prove too challenging for first time players, while the other set of enemies would prove to be no threat.

The following changes were made:

• Reduced the damage for enemy units that are using the following weapons:
  
  • Compact-5
    
  • M308
    
  • Jackal
    
  • Bronco
    
  • Mac10
• Increased the damage for the enemy units that are using the following weapons:
  
  • Reinfield 880
    
  • M4
• Reduced the damage of melee attacks for enemy units on Normal and Hard difficulty

Fo' sho!

• Updated animation run speeds for the shield units
  
• Fixed an issue with the third person animations for equipping akimbo weapons
  
• Fixed an issue that caused team-AI not having a cooldown or their Inspire ability
  
• Fixed an issue with the Healer ability for team-AI
  
• Fixed an issue with Crime Spree achievements not getting awarded
  
• Fixed an issue where the Enter the Gungeon masks required the game to restart to be awarded
  
• Fixed an issue with the flip up sight on the Arbiter that caused it to be visible through walls
  
• Fixed an issue with the Safehouse Sidejob screen when using a controller
  
• Removed a VO event that was played twice on the Aftershock heist

Hey Heisters, robbers, criminals and pro-gamers! We from the OVERKILL Crew just want to thank you for being the most awesome community ever existing! PAYDAY: The Heist has been out for six years while PAYDAY 2 just turned four! This would never have happened without the support, frustration and love that every one of you has invested during these years. With this love in mind we always try to give back big time once a year so now it’s time for Crimefest 2017!



This year’s Crimefest will be a nice adventure taking part in the northern part of the US, and when I say north, I mean fucking freezing cold Alaska! Who knows what is happening up there and what the PAYDAY Gang is up to! As usual we will have a few challenges, masks, some nice quality of life features, side jobs and maybe a new character? Since you haven’t had a Heist in a while, I will make sure you get 2!

To avoid updating problems we will follow the success of last year’s event and release content every other day and have something else every other day-day.

Do anyone even know what the icons mean !?!


So, as you might have figured out already Crimefest starts the 19th of October and stretches to the 28th of October so make sure to book that computer at your local library or tell your teacher that you need your laptop with you at all costs!
