PAYDAY 2: Update 244 Changelog

Unfortunately, the safehouse kitchen caught fire while Gage was cooking, so we’re going to need some more time. For now, enjoy a FREE update with some NORMAL additions to the game. No jokes here!

Compact and disguised to look like a bike pump, this covert weapon can silently take out isolated targets.

• Added the perfectly normal “Pipette Mk.2" to the Secondary weapons list, please do not modify it.

• Added “Burst Fire" mod, A multi-shot fire mode with delayed recoil to improve accuracy.

  • Weapons with burst fire modes benefit from a scaling recoil reduction for every bullet being fired in a burst. Only the final bullet will have full recoil kick.

• Added fire mode mod options to fully-automatic pistols;

  • STRYK 18c Pistol

  • Bernetti Auto Pistol

  • Czech 92 Pistol

  • Igor Automatik Pistol
