PAYDAY 2 News

Update size: 15.7 MB


Yesterday we release the third weapon pack DLC from Jiu Feng. We've seen a lot of great responses both the weapons and the charms. It is great to see that you are enjoying the content we make. We have a hotfix to release today addressing the issues that have been reported since the release.

Changes

• Fixed an issue with the fire rate of the under-barrel for the Kang Arms Model 54 Pistol being too high.
  
• Fixed an issue with the KS12-A Burst Muzzle where shots were silenced like when using a suppressor.
  
• Fixed an issue where you could attach the KS12-A Burst Muzzle or KS12-S Long Silencer while having a barrel that should prevent barrel extensions.
  
• Added missing achievement icon to the achievement menu.
  
• Fixed an issue where the weapon charm would detach from the Vulcan Minigun during the reload animation.
  

There was also an issue reported related to using a 45-degree sight gadget in combination with the KS12-S Carry Handle. This issue is still being worked on and will be included in the next release.


Keep on being charming.

Jiu Feng brings us an interesting offer in the latest shipment of black market firearms and weapon paraphernalia. He starts the offer with three different firearms that will bring the boom you need in your loadout and an Akimbo variant for all the ambidextrous heisters out there. With a reputation of bringing something interesting to the table, Jiu Feng will not disappoint you here. Take a look at the Pistols, they pack a bigger punch than may be apparent at the first glance. However, that is not the only ace up his sleeve this time. A brand new cosmetic will both be part of the DLC and also a few available for free.


First up is the “KS12 Urban Rifle”, a compact Assault Rifle with a lot of power. And if you need it to punch even harder a simple DMR kit can convert the rifle to a single-fire heavy hitter. On top of the aforementioned DMR kit, this rifle also has a custom muzzle breaker, the ability to choose between the Picatinny rails on top of the gun or on the carry handle for scope placement, and also one of the largest silencers in the game.

Second is the “RUS-12 Angry Tiger Revolver”, a large powerhouse and a true hand cannon in every sense of the word. Easily tearing holes in any oppressor, no matter how heavy their jacket is. The only thing better than a big iron on your hip is a big iron with armor-penetrating bullets. Apart from the mods available to all weapons, this weapon also has an option for a custom wooden grip, and a short barrel, and a custom Stabilizer for the long barrel.

Finally, we have the “Káng Arms Model 54 Pistol”, available both as a single or an akimbo weapon. At first glance, it may look like a normal pair of pistols but a keen eye will notice that under the barrels hangs a small shotgun barrel, a nasty surprise for any opponent that gets within range. On top of the normal shotgun ammo, you can also load these backup barrels with Flechettes or AP Slugs. These pistols can also be equipped with extended magazines and barrel extenders.

Last but not least there is also a new scope in this pack, the Z5 Owl Glass Universal Scope can be equipped just like any other Rifle or SMG scope and give more options when reach is your game.

[h2]Weapon Charms[/h2]
Jiu Feng brings even more new and exciting things to the table with weapon charms. A completely new cosmetic, have a cute little loot bag, grenade, or a Dallas mask hanging from your weapon as you make your way to the next PAYDAY. 4 awesome weapon charms are available in the pack, and an extra 2 charms are available for free, either to members of the community group or via an achievement.

Of course, there are also a nice set of weapon colors included in the pack, Jiu Feng won’t let you go out heisting without a new lick of paint on your arsenal. With 4 very different weapon colors, you can be sure to find one that suits your style.

Yesterday we released a meta update. Today we have a hotfix for a few issues that appeared in the patch. Specifically on the keypad in Shacklethorne Auction that could become interactable and thereby soft locking the level. But also two DMR kits that had gotten an unintended buff is now back at their intended values.

Changes

• Fixed an issue with the keypad on the Shacklethorne Auction heist that caused a soft lock on the heist
  
• Fixed an issue where the DMR kit for the AK Assault Rifle had the wrong damage value
  
• Fixed an issue where the DMR kit for the CAR-4 Assault Rifle had the wrong damage value

Today we bring you a smaller update focused on the game’s meta. Specifically for low damage assault rifles, also in this update, there are some performance optimizations for the shotguns. There are also a few tweaks to specific weapons, like the concealment of the RPK to allow for crit build and a buff to the ammo pool of the Lebensauger .308. Check out the patch notes for all changes and tweaks.

But that is not all, there are also some interesting tweaks in regards to scopes, both how they function in-game and additional info while in the menus. Finally, we’ve improved the lighting in the weapon customization view, so your guns will look their best while you tinker and tailor them to your needs and desires.

And another note for the Dead by Daylight heisters out there, we've talked to our previous partners in crime over at Behaviour Interactive and together we now have made the Feeder and Dendron masks available to anyone who owns the base game of Dead by Daylight. Previously you had to own the Deluxe Edition, but since that edition is no longer available we wanted to make sure the masks were still easily obtainable. If you haven't tried these horrific masks, now's your chance!


Each shotgun fires a number of pellets (hit rays). If one or more of these would hit an enemy the weapon’s damage is applied. This means that if multiple rays hit an enemy it still applies the same amount of damage as if only one ray would hit the enemy. These rays can be very performance-heavy. We have adjusted the number of rays per weapon based on the damage class. Higher damage weapons and slower firing weapons will keep a higher number of rays. Fast-firing and low damaging weapons will have fewer rays. This will yield improved performance, especially on older machines running games with multiple shotguns present. The Joceline O/U 12G, Mosconi 12G, and Claire 12G Shotguns will remain unaffected.


We have also looked at some of our Assault Rifles. We want to bring up the DPS of the low damage class of assault rifles in order for them to be more balanced against their mid damage counterparts. To achieve this, we’ve increased the damage for the low damage class. We’ve also addressed the long reload times on some weapons. This issue has been addressed in different ways depending on the weapon. Some weapons have had their reload time reduced, others have had their total ammo increased or an additional damage buff.


Another change you certainly will notice is the scopes. We’ve altered the look of the scope while you ADS to give a better view through the optics. This will let you see more of the battlefield downrange as less will be obscured by the sight itself. Looking at the stats block in the menus, you will now see the strength on the scope listed as the scope’s zoom level.Compact Tactical Box Sight, before and after scope changes



Let’s put some rounds down range and dominate the battlefield.
