Update size: 26.6MB

Hello Heisters,

We bring a hotfix for some issues found in last week's heist release.

Midland Ranch

• Fixed some Ai navigation issues
  
• Fixed visual issues where items disappeared from view
  
• Fixed an issue where players could skip the C4 objective if securing loot bags early
  
• Fixed an issue where achievement icons were missing ingame
  
• Fixed a VO issue where Locke would repeat himself
  
• Fixed a crash when players connected to a game while the turret was firing
  
• Fixed a visual issue where windows that can't be lockpicked didn't spawn glass shards when shot
  
• Fixed an issue where two AI could spawn on top of each other
  
• Fixed an issue where there was a scared civilian on higher difficulties on the right path from spawn
  
• Fixed an audio issue where the turret sound played 2D audio

Twitch Drops

• Potential fix for Twitch Drops not working until 3/3 items were claimed on twitch.

Updates may be incompatible with the mods you may have installed. Even seemingly unrelated mods may cause unexpected issues. If you are experiencing any issues with the game; try removing any mods you may have installed and try again.

If you are having issues with an unmodded game you can try to verify the integrity of the game files. In the steam library; right-click on PAYDAY 2. Select "Properties" from the menu. Under the tab "LOCAL FILES" select "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES...".
The process may take some time to finish.

Remember to stay hydrated in the summer heat!

The Midland Ranch heist is the first chapter in the epic saga we call Texas Heat. Our fearless heisters have headed down south and are getting ready to gain another ally and another mortal foe.


Gemma McShay has come to us with a proposition, a way we can make some cash and take out her main rival in a single blow. Notorious gunrunner Esteban Santiago runs his operation out of a ranch compound in rural Texas. No cattle or horse riding lessons here, just a massive collection of weapon prototypes worth a fortune on the black market. If we can get those guns to Gemma, she'll pay us top dollar. And if we can sabotage Esteban's workshop on the way out, we'll get a nice bonus. Bring some big iron or sneak in undetected, the choice is yours, but Esteban's operation will take a heavy blow today.


The US Marshal Sharpshooter, feared by villains and crooks all over Texas. In PAYDAY, we’re introducing them as a new enemy alongside the Midland Ranch heist. These enemies will try to stay at a middle distance, not quite as far as snipers, but further away than the regular cops. Be on the lookout for the glint of their scopes or the trail of their bullets as this new combatant will come after you, no matter what difficulty you play on.
After we’ve received some feedback from you lovely people, the US Marshal will start appearing in other levels as well, we look forward to hearing what you think.




Twitch drops! This set is available for anyone who connects their Starbreeze account with Twitch and then watches any drops enabled stream. This giveaway will run until the 21th of July.

Mask: Texas Tea, Gloves: Ranchhand, Suit: Western Chic


Our friends at Prime Matter are celebrating their 1 year anniversary! To join in the celebration, we’re including another full outfit with a suit, gloves, and a mask. These items are available for everyone that has a synched Starbreeze Account.

Mask: Prime Time, Suit: New Horizon, Gloves: Dark Matter



Time to bring the heat to Texas.

Texas Heat is coming along, and so far you’ve already gotten a taste of what’s to come through the Southbound Tailor Pack and McShay Weapon Pack. As you may already know, the Midland Bundle also includes the Midland Ranch Heist.

In our original announcement we stated that the heist would be released on the 15th of June. Since then we’ve had to make the tough decision to delay the heist by just about a week, to the 21st of June, in order to take care of a few critical bugs that we’d like to have wrangled before release. Our team has been working incredibly hard on putting this update together, and we want to make sure their work gets to shine the way it deserves.

This delay will give us the time we need to make sure you all have a blast when you first visit the Ranch, with all its secrets. We hope you’ll have patience while we spend this extra time squishing bugs.

See y’all on the 21st instead,
OVERKILL_Sebastian

In today's meta update we focus on experience and Infamy. We are adding a new way to rank up Infamy. If you are one of those that wanted to go infamous but have been hesitating to reset your profile to level 0, this is the system for you. The ‘old’ Infamy system is still available, meaning you can still choose to reset your level to 0 and gain a level of Infamy if you so choose.


You will now be able to gain progression towards the next Infamy without resetting your level or resetting your skills, however, it will be slower than normal progression.



The cost of a rank via the Infamy pool will be 30 million XP instead of the 23 million it would be if you used the regular reputation reset system to go infamous. This means that if you don't reset, you'll have to work harder in exchange for keeping your gear and skills.

The first 5 ranks of Infamy will still cost $200,000,000 no matter which system you use.

The new system will exist in conjunction with the old, whether you chose to reset your reputation level or not, we hope to see you rise through the ranks to the great heights where you belong.


We have gone over a few heists, searching for ones where securing loot bags would only grant cash and not XP. On the following heists; Border Crossing, San Martín Bank, Shacklethorne Auction, Yacht Heist, Nightclub, Firestarter (day 2), and all Transport heists except the train, will now grant XP for each loot bag you secure. Border Crossing will give 500XP per loot bag on Normal, and the others will give 1000XP. Yacht Heist will give 500XP per additional bag after the mandatory ones have been secured. These values will then increase if the heist is played on higher difficulties.



The entire PAYDAY 2 community has gained a total of 19,645,690 ranks of Infamy - we salute you!
