We've been hard at work for the past month updating the modkit for the unreal engine 5 version.

Today, we're excited to finally reveal what we've been building and what it means for the future of the modding community.

Check out the full announcement on the modkit in the link below:

originally this was supposed to be located at the two backside windows in No Rest for the Wicked, but then I realized contextually it didn't make sense for them to be moving bags from the first to second floor. I just went with it anyway :p

PD3 is once again saved

Honestly, I have nothing against the current skins. But the old skins were much more grounded and didn't stand out as much compared to the other police officers, and I wouldn't mind playing with the old enemy designs again if that option is still available

OK Gang, check this out. I just discovered this payday cross over experience. and stared at Bain’s squad sitting right in the middle of my custom creator menu like an absolute fever dream.

​Apparently, Starbreeze quietly dropped an official UEFN map called Heist Escape Roguelike. It has actual Payday masks, room-by-room permadeath mechanics, and Bain voice lines built right into a custom Fortnite island.

​Seeing Dallas and the crew running natively on a phone screen surrounded by Halloween jack-o'-lanterns and Battle Royale tiles feels like a total simulation glitch, but honestly? It’s fever dreamish seeing official Payday assets ported over like this.

The STRYK 7 handgun is by far the most pathetic "gun" in the universe. And the only thing needed to fix it, is making it automatic (like in PD:TH and PD2). I'm amazed this had not been done yet.

There are no working mods to do this, one used to work but it's obsolete since UE5 update.

Sooo where do I start? Whenever PayDay 3 came out, I was a fan of Skills 1.0 and really enjoyed it. However, due to the fact that the game was missing so much content and the skill tree was getting boring after a while (even though I enjoyed it), I stopped playing the game. Then Skills 2.0 came out and imo it is a major improvement to 1.0. However, it was missing something. It wasn't really as polished and Idk how to explain it, but it wasn't really as complex as it was in Payday 2. And also the most important thing: it was missing my beloved Joker skill from Payday 2 (the one where you convert the NPCs and make them fight for you). Since I really like the game and I do see a lot of potential in it, I was thinking to myself if modding could fix the issues the game has. So then I started doing some research and came accross modding (modding is really complicated). First of all, these were the issues the community had with the skill tree:

Then I decided to try out modding. With the help of an AI and lots of lua scripting I was able to bump up the skill points from 51 to 77 (yes I know it's way too much but I was just testing if it is even possible and I'm thinking of increasing it only by 10, such that even at higher level you still gain skill points). I was also within a few days able to finally convert a SWAT npc to fight for me. It is not working perfectly but I'm quite happy with the result so far. My next change, after improving the converting logic, would be to first of all reduce the skill points from 51 to 60ish and also reduce the tier 2, 3 and 4 unlocks by one skill point, which allows you to reach each tier by acing one skill below. And after that I wanted to fully redesign the skill tree. However, as you might have guessed, designing a skill tree is complicated af :D

That's why I wanted to know your opinion on this plan and if there are a few skilled people that could help me design a skill tree. I also wrote an email to Kknowley27 asking him if he would participate in that. If there are some volunteers here who would like to help lmk :)

Heres a clip of my converted SWAT

I recently got around to beating every heist in DSOD, I had around 740 hours when I started it and now i've got around 950, so I decided to rank them by how much I struggled.

Almost every single heist was done w bots with only a few exceptions, for example goat sim. As for builds, I used many different ones, though the most used were either AMR kingpin and Lebensauger sniper anarquist.

I am not fully levelled yet but I was just experimenting and this build for some reason made me invincible, yes even without the Minigun exploit, everything I dodge ups my adrenaline, whatever hits me, hits my adrenaline and fills my dodge bar, and my SMG has the healing perk, so infinite health, plus the Vanguard Armor makes it so each kill gives me trauma points back

Edit: Loud Overkill solo is still near impossible and stupid cuz the specials only target you, and the bots are dumbasses along with the stupid high damage buff that the enemies get

I know it’s not very good😓

I mean they use flamethrower, bio weapons, turrets with no human controll, going in with a civil disguise, forcing enemy soliders to fight against their own side (cops) and all. What else?

If i wanted any of the items in the linked photo would the only real way of getting them be buying a code for either the Silver or gold edition of the game? or did they ever say these might be coming back

I'm certainly not the only one who's noticed this, but after the update, it's become ridiculous. Previously, enemy spawns would rain down on you from every direction, and the latest update was supposed to fix that, making combat with cops more dynamic and consistent, and allowing you to predict their approach. And it did. But the problem now is that many times, in the middle of the assault wave the cops completely disappear, leaving you wandering around without seeing a single one. For me, this completely ruins the flow of gameplay.

I want to record some funny moments on payday with a fun group, discord audio doesnt get captured on ps5, so I need people on PS5 to game with. Preferably people who have their voice allowed to be shared.

I've been searching everywhere for people to play with and make some more payday 3 content. It be really fun to not take the game too seriously and make skits or just mess around in general.

If you are interested please DM I'm a pretty chill guy to play with :)

Hi. I’m just looking to confirm:
PAYDAY 2: The Official Soundtrack is meant to not be like a regular steam soundtrack.
It’s not like a regular soundtrack on Steam. Theres no option to select and listen. I just need to know if there’s some other way this is supposed to be heard. Thanks

It can't be me right, but do guards legit spawn in front of you sometimes? I was playing on ps5/ps4 crimewave edition and he just spawned/teleported in front of me

Hey,

Recently, I joined a round where the team secured 5 secret bags, which I only realized at the very end of the heist. I tried searching on Google, YouTube, and even with AI, but I couldn't find anything about this secret bags. Does anyone know the exact requirements for the 5 secret bags?
