Payday 2

[Joose]

"C'mon guys! Its time to get our BEARD on!"

[buzzmong]

Payday is such a ballache at the lower levels when you don't have the cool toys to play with. Back up to level 40 now but still another dozen of levels or so away from being able to be useful (ie, ECM'ing doors and having the ECM timings maxed out.

On the flip side, sunglasses and a playing card

Can't link as on mobile, but Overkill have just announced a new diamond related heist and the new female heister is coming with it. Trailer is on YouTube.

ITT: Buzz fails at actions that can be completed effectively using lynx running on a warmed up brick.

Also, dibs being Bearded Clover

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Urgh.

Says the mission is 7 dorrah, and clover is 5 dorrah.

[buzzmong]

Surprised that Clover is seperate DLC, that's an interesting choice considering John Wick wasn't wanted or liked. I wonder if it'll be on sale over Christmas, or in the New Year.

Looking forward to the new heist though, so will be interesting to see if it's worth 7 dorrah on its own.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

It will be after the next DLC comes out, as usual.

[buzzmong]

Well now, Clover gets an L-85, a big stick and her own Perk deck called Burglar, which seems to be very much stealth oriented with the description mentioning bonuses to pager time amongst others. Be interesting to see what the actual heist adds tomorrow.

[Dog Pants]

I'm a sucker for an L85.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Ooh.

I hope they made it nice and accurate, be a nice option for stealth.

[buzzmong]

Double ooh. Not much information on the heist, but they've added a multi-build feature for skills. You can apparently build 5 sets and flick between them between heists.

[fabyak]

Thank fuck! Finally!

[Dr. kitteny berk]

£5 and £4, that's acceptable enough.

PS:

Dear everyone else in the industry.

Make things people want (but don't need to keep up/play with friends), sell it for a reasonable price.

Enjoy making shitloads of profit from people who want to give you money for making your game better without taking the piss.

Just looked at the in-game stats for the L-85, base stats are a bit good. Be interesting to see what the attachments can do to it, but I certainly see it replacing all the 5.56mm rifles for loud heists.

Skills + Perkdeck loadout look goods. However, you can only unlock 4 normally (I've got two, game tells me numbers 3 and 4 are level 75 and 100 respectively).
The fifth requires level 100 and the Tabula Rasa achievement, which sounds fucking nails:

Tabula Rasa
In the Hoxton Breakout job, complete the heist on OVERKILL difficulty or above with each crew member using no skills, wearing suits, wielding Golden AK.762 rifles and Chicago Typewriter submachine guns.

Guns and suits are fine, no skills means perk deck bonuses only. Fucking hell.

Edit: Heists and Clover pack bought. Using my £25 lottery win for something useful!

[Mr. Johnson]

I can't say why exactly, but somehow she looks ...better.

[buzzmong]

It appears delightfully fun. Some Indiana Jones skills required to get the Diamond :D

Things to note:

Spoiler:

If you go loud, if you managed to stealth past the first time lock and/or started on the second, the security computer has quite a short time of 90 seconds vs the 199 (or 299) of just going loud from the start, and secondly if you had managed to start the time locks off before going loud, when you have to hack them it'll count down from what ever is left (in my case, TWO seconds :X), which is handy.

It's still a bit too pricey considering extra heists have were usually free until recently. I don't play it enough to warrant spending money, but I worry that players like me will be excluded by not having DLC rather than just not having extra faces/guns.

[Mr. Johnson]

It does seem a bit pricey for a single heist and a character. I just hope this isn't a sign of things to come, sneaky price upgrades rarely lead to good things.
