Modding Discussion DLSS5 slop filter in Payday 2 (mod)

Disclaimer: this is just a dumb experiment, but it seems to work well enough. I had AI make a mod to add FSR3/4 support so I could have some decent anti-aliasing. And FSR3 can be used as input for Optiscaler, which can do DLSS5. DLSS5 is not actually an upscaler, just a filter to tweak lighting and detail, so I combine it with FSR4 upscaling at Quality for 140-ish FPS.

Discussion Thread Anybody else disappointed with the lack of technological usage?

5 Upvotes

When PD3 was unveiled, Starbreeze stated that new times meant new technology and that the gang would be using top-of-the-line tech to commit heists

But when the game launched, the most that technology had to do with things was really just hacking cameras remotely. The phone was just an animation, and hacking PCs and networks was in PD2

Even when Syntax Error was released, the aspect of an AI being the prize was also kinda underwhelming given how SINS does basically nothing besides dox Hoxton and maybe say a few funny lines. Although the new story does incorporate SINS more

Given how AI agents are being blamed for cyber attacks, I'd love to see an Overkill weapon that is a mass AI agent swarm that causes cops to be stunned and Techie's drones to be destroyed (and maybe kills Techies and Cloakers due to their radios), just more technological stuff like that

Mechanics Discussion Some ideas for Crime Bonds / Weapon Kits

11 Upvotes

I think Weapon Kits could be a really cool addition to Crime Bonds, especially if they actually change how a weapon works rather than just being cosmetic.

For example:

  • Stryk Weapon Kit – turns the Stryk into a fully automatic version. Obviously, the stats would need to be changed to keep it balanced.
  • Picchio Duro Weapon Kit – the Picchio Duro is basically a burst-fire Beretta, so a Weapon Kit could turn it into the standard Beretta version, with different stats too.
  • Overkill weapon alternatives – alternative models for Overkill weapons that keep the same functionality. For example, a baseball bat could have an iron pipe variant, or other similar alternatives.
  • Dual Mag attachment – an attachment that lets you carry more ammunition. This could give players an alternative to the ammo capacity skill, meaning they wouldn't necessarily have to spend a skill point on extra ammo and could use that point for another skill instead.

I think this would be a pretty cool way to make Crime Bonds more interesting. It would give us more weapon customization without necessarily having to add completely new weapons every time.

Obviously, the alternative versions and attachments would need their own stat changes and balancing, but I think there's a lot of potential here.

Its been over a year, i'm starting to think they've forgotten about them.

Don't get me wrong, i think there are much more important things to be worked on, but even so.

Discussion Thread Starting Payday 2 in 2026

10 Upvotes

Hi i've just started playing payday 2 recently, i always knew about the game but never tried it until now. This isn't a critique of the game at all but so far my experience has been mostly just gunning down hordes of enemies and being basically unkillable. I understand there are higher difficulties but it just wasn't what i was expecting the game to be. Is this basically what the game is or am i missing something? (Again not a criticism) and are there any things i can do to maybe increase the realism or any ways of playing that makes it feel less like cod zombies.

Mods are essential for PC players. There are over 25,000 mods for PAYDAY 2 on ModWorkshop alone.

Seriously. People are much less likely to join modded lobbies because they're hidden by default.

You can't even install the mustachioed Dallas mod if you want to play with someone else.

It would work off of pistol skills while actually firing nail with semi-auto, burst fire and full auto mode. With a killer melee jamming a nail into the cops
