Today we bring you an update packed with fixes. We have been working hard on improving the latest heist Mountain Master. We appreciate all the great feedback and comments we received. In addition, we are also adding Gamesight to PAYDAY 2. Gamesight is a tool that lets us better visualize our marketing efforts and it will help us understand how people find our game. This will not impact your player experience and will help us grow the community.

We will also be adding a new outfit in the game, based on Overlord Lettuce's brilliant concept design from the 10th-anniversary competition. The blueprints have been sent to the Tailor and the suit will be available in-game soon. This will replace the removed Linchpin outfit, which is gone as of this update.

Here's a look at it, we think it looks really good!

Thank you to Milo S for this brilliant design!

Let's get into the fixes for this update.

The City of Gold campaign is coming to an end, and our favorite heisters find themselves overlooking the city of San Francisco for the finale of this saga of violence and robbery. Alongside the Mountain Master Heist DLC, we also release the Golden Dagger Tailor Pack designed for the heist and on the theme of triads. Check them both out below.

We find our 4 heisters at the foot of one of the tallest structures in San Francisco. In the penthouse resides Yufu Wang, the leader of the Golden Dagger triad. Shayu has asked us to take him down so she can take over the rule of the triad and wipe the slate clean between them and the Payday gang. However, how you proceed in this mission is up to you. Sneak past the guards in the lobby and make your way quietly up to the penthouse to take Yufu down when he least expects it. Alternatively, go in loud, let him know you are on your way. Come crashing into his private chambers ready for a fight.



Pick up the heist in the Mountain Master DLC on Steam today.

The best way to enjoy tea is… dressed. Therefore we introduce a new suit for our lovers of tea and kung-fu out there. In each heist from the City of Gold campaign, there is a tea set that can be looted and secured. Go play all four heists and steal these tea sets. Once you have stolen all these tea sets this awesome outfit will be yours. You will even get four nice variants of this great-looking suit so everyone in the lobby can dress up in their favorite color.

Laohu Dashi Apex, Laohu Dashi Haze, Laohu Dashi Lotus, Laohu Dashi Chi

You do not need to own the heist to complete the achievement and unlock this great suit. However, if you are missing any of the heists and want the pick them up you can find them and other great DLCs on the PAYDAY 2 store page on Steam today.

Time to suit up in style. In the Golden Dagger Tailor Pack, you will pick up 2 new kick-ass triad-inspired suits. Dress to impress with the “Master's Mantle” outfit. Pair it with the "Firescale" or the “Mountain Spikes” gloves and the “Golden Draped Visor” or “Sterling Draped Visor” to really bring home your superiority and menace. If you would rather convey more violence and danger then the “Red Pole” outfit is for you. These suits are equally well suited for a night on the town, a fistfight in the streets, or some good old smash and grab.

”Red Master” suit with the “Firescale” gloves and the “Golden Draped Visor” mask,
“Traditional” suit with the “Crimson Wave Grips” gloves and the “Crimson Striker Helmet” mask,
“Ceremonial” suit with the “Hornet Glow Grips” gloves and the “Hornet Striker Helmet” mask,
“Dark Master” suit, with the "Mountain Spikes" gloves and the “Sterling Draped Visor” mask.

These outfits, gloves, and masks are available in the Golden Dagger Tailor Pack DLC on Steam today.

With the last heist in the City of Gold campaign, we now release the fourth and final variant of the “Dragon Bomber” outfit. You and your crew can now dress up in these finest of garments as you take on the Mountain Master himself. The “Dragon Bomber White” is now available for free in the inventory, regardless of whether you own any DLCs or not.

”Dragon Bomber Black”, “Dragon Bomber White”, “Dragon Bomber Red”, and ”Dragon Bomber Contrast”.

Check out more previews of this update and its content on the Golden Dagger Update’s website.

Yesterday we have released the fourth Smuggler Pack from Jiu Feng. We are happy you have received our new DLC so positively. Our work on best possible experience is constant. We hear your reports and we have a bunch of fixes for the lately released weapon pack.

Changes

• Fixed an issue where Medved-4 Suppressor could be equipped on some unintended weapons
  
• Fixed an issue where the akimbo shotgun push functionality stopped working
  
• Fixed an issue where the WASP-DS SMG exclusive skin ammo display did not function properly.
  
• Fixed a crash where VR players were crashing when playing with charms on primary weapons.
  
• Fixed a description issue with unseen strike ACED.

Grab your gun - let’s get rich!

Jiu Feng is back with his fourth and final Smuggler Pack with plenty of iron to deal with what is gonna go down soon. You need to gear up and be ready for a new level of heisting. While a heister's best friend might be a hot gun, there are other ways to stay warm in the dreary February weather. With custom community suits, you will never freeze in the cold bitter wind again.

This weapon pack is all about secondary weapons, the loyal companions, the friends in need, the aces up your sleeves. First up in the pack is the Argos III Shotgun, a futuristic shotgun that packs a mean punch. With its custom compensator, stock, and side-mounted ammo cache this beast will dominate the battlefield. The second piece of hardware on the table is the Wasp-DS SMG. You can bring one of these bad boys as the backup gun or as your main dealer of carnage as it sings of lead and violence into the evening of San Francisco. The extra grip, special magazine, and new stock will make this SMG a joy to bring on any heist. And lastly, something completely different, a pistol unlike any other. The Gecko M2 Pistol is a one-handed power-house built for stealth but holds its own in a firefight. This pistol does not only feature a built-in suppressor but also cartridges powerful enough to push a full-grown man off his feet upon impact. For the ambidextrous heisters, two of these pistols will certainly make plenty of helmets fly.

Argos III Shotgun, Gecko M2 Pistol, Wasp-DS SMG

Jiu Feng cannot pass up an opportunity to showcase his keen sense of style with some cosmetic options for your choice of firearm. He draws our interest to four new weapon colors. Do you want to go with the “Art Deco Waffle” for that cool art deco feel or the more modern style of the “Dry Cut”? Perhaps you go for the funkier “Blue Stroke” weapon color or the funkiest of funk that is the “Vaporwave”.

Art Deco Waffle, Vaporwave, Dry Cut, Blue Stroke

Also included in this update are two Exclusive Weapon sets. The “Triple Tech Threat” for the Argos III Shotgun gives a cool sci-fi look to the weapon and adds a triple laser array to the front that gives a very unique targeting image and lets you know without a shadow of a doubt where those pellets will fly. The “Whisper 9 Silencer” for the Wasp-DS will also give the weapon a high-tech overhaul. With a built-in suppressor and laser, the exclusive set already gives a decent kit for your gun but with the addition of an ammo counter display, this set really takes the weapon up a notch.

Triple Tech Threat, Whisper 9 Silencer

Exclusive Weapon sets were first introduced in the last update as a mod kit that gives the weapon a cool new look that can’t be achieved with regular mods. They also boost the stats of the weapon as some mod slots may be unavailable while the set is applied. However, the set would not offer better stats than regular mods. They may on the other hand offer other bonuses and fun add-ons to the weapon, like extra lasers or ammo counters. An Exclusive Weapon Set gives you a preset of mods and a cool-looking weapon with a single click. You can have a badass alternate form of the weapon, fully modded and ready for action. Great for new players that want to jump straight into the game or veteran players that want a fun new way to play the game.

Pick up these awesome weapons, weapon colors, and exclusive sets in the Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4 on Steam today.

But we are not done with weapons yet, in this update, there are also two free weapon mods that anyone can use. First up we have “Medved R4 Suppressor” a big suppressor that can be used with any pistol or SMG. In addition to lowering the noise of the gun, they also boost stability and accuracy. Secondly “Medved R4 Laser Sight” is a nice sleek laser sight for your favorite pistol.

Medved R4 Suppressor, Medved R4 Laser Sight

During our 10th anniversary last year, we held a contest for you, the community, to design and suggest your own outfits. There were so many good suggestions that we found it impossible to narrow down our top picks below three. So we made all three of them. They are now available in the game. Congratulations to our three winners XXXX who designed the “The Linchpin” outfit, @SilversTweet who designed the “Pink Hopper” outfit, and @OneMonovan who designed the “Overgold” outfit. These three very different and unique outfits are amazing and great additions to any heister wardrobe.

Overgold, Pink Hopper, The Linchpin

Thank you to everyone who bought the F*ck Cancer bundle on Humble Bundle to help support Cancerfonden (Swedish Cancer Society) in their work to advance cancer research and in doing so you also help honor our former CEO Mikael Nermark.

Today we have a small update with a few tweaks and we want to talk a bit about the changes to the leech perk deck which was released just prior to the winter holiday.

It has now been out for a while and we have a few tweaks to adjust the power level and bring it more in line with other perk decks. Our first adjustment is that if you take more than 200 points of damage from a single source you will lose 2 segments instead of just one. The perk deck will therefore not be as overpowered on Death sentence. The second adjustment puts a limit on the amount of health a teammate can heal from other leech players. The limit is 20% of their maximum health per second.


Update size: 474.9MB


General

• When taking more than 200 damage with the Leech Perk deck the player will lose 2 chunks of health.
  
• Multiple leech players will not increase the healing given to other teammates.
  
• Added the in-game achievements icon for “CAR vs Car”.
  
• Fixed an issue where the motion dot moved while changing the size.
  
• Fixed an issue when using the "Longbore" exclusive weapon set with a 45degree scope attached.

Any mods you have installed may interfere with the update, so please disable them to avoid crashes until the modders have had time to update their mods. If you are experiencing crashes please read this thread for more information.
