PAYDAY 2: Update 246 Changelog

Time to pan fry some bacon. This update includes the whole new PUBG Weapons Pack for FREE, bringing you the iconic Frying Pan and Flare Gun from the Battlegrounds!

The update also includes fixes and adjustments to items from the previously released Espionage Weapon Pack. We have gotten a lot of feedback and are happy that you liked our offerings. It’s clear that the Ballerina was the weakest link in the pack, so based on your suggestions it has been given some improvements!

Typically used in an emergency to signal for help or supplies.

Couple of updates ago, we removed an oversight that allowed you to jump the fence and be able to complete most the heist without much of a challenge. A lot of players weren’t happy with this change and while we don’t want to bring the exploit back, we tried to make the existing stealth a bit less unfair as a compromise.

• Airport (Day 1)

  • Alerted gangsters no longer cause the heist to go loud automatically, instead it is triggered by loud gunfire

  • Added a security room spawn

  • Added a 10% stealth completion bonus

  • Added bodybags asset

  • Added glow to some existing lights

  • Made some of the dumpsters openable

  • Fixed navigation issues with the large gates when they are shot open

• Cameras no longer spawn as titan variants on higher difficulties

  • The random chance for titan cameras made the map undesirable to play and players kept restarting until they didnt spawn.

• Fixed the unlimited ink equipment pickups being consumed on pickup

• Set the default cosmetic set to the “Legacy Tactical" suit when no default suits are applied

• Added vision blockers to the under-side of the bridge to prevent enemies shooting players through the floors

• Art Gallery (Day 1)

  • Fixed a background building that was in the middle of the road near the van

  • Fixed a laser emitter looking the wrong way.

• Highland Mortuary (Day 1 2)

  • Added missing collision to some electrical boxes

• Fixed the collision on the stairs after reaching the second half of the heist

• Fixed the collisions on some stairs in the finale area

• Potentially fixed a rare instance where cage no location is picked, softlocking the heist

Updates may be incompatible with the mods you may have installed. Even seemingly unrelated mods may cause unexpected issues. If you are experiencing any problems 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.
