PAYDAY 2 News

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

Hello Heisters,

We are releasing a small follow-up hotfix addressing the issue with the Medved R4 suppressor that was not completely fixed in yesterday's update.

• Further fixed the crash where akimbo weapons would crash with Medved r4 suppressor
  
• Fixed an unintended mod option for the SG Versteckt 51D where you could choose fire type

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.

Keep those helmets flying!

If they haven't even bothered to nail it to the ground, do they really mind if it's stolen?

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!
