PAYDAY 3: Legacy Heists

[Check out the dedicated Legacy Heists Website]

A trulymassive update

We know there were a lot of fixes last time around, but this time there’s a lot of fixes. To make things easier for everyone, we’ve picked a number of additions and fixes to highlight and put them here at the top. If, however, you are the sort to comb through every detail, the full patch notes are below as usual.

We’re not only looking at fixes however, there are  a number of excellent additions being added for free as well! What a day!

Additions

Heists

There are 2 brand new (old) heists in this update! Each painstakingly remade and slightly reimagined from their original PAYDAY 2 counterparts. Both of these heists tend to rank fairly high in popularity, we’ve seen a lot of people asking for both, we hope you enjoy it!

Turbid Station, formerly Murky Station

The private military contractor Murkywater had some “troubled times'' in the past couple of years. As such, this heist has gotten a new name alongside its facelift when brought into PAYDAY 3. Turbid Station is the first ‘stealth only’ heist in PAYDAY 3 so far. In order to facilitate the new stealth systems introduced in PAYDAY 3, the team have made a few minor changes to the how it plays as compared to PAYDAY 2. The sense of familiarity is strong however, any veteran will feel right at home.

Cook Off

How do you turn a crack house into a crack home? While ‘meth home’ would probably be more appropriate, someone tried turning this once disgusting den of debauchery into something livable. As such, the Cook Off house has gotten a few well needed renovations over the years. But once a drug den, always a drug den it seems.

The Cook Off house is the second ‘loud only’ heist in PAYDAY 3, following the footsteps of its predecessor. One difference in the new Cook Off is that it is not endless, the maximum number of bags possible is now capped at 19. The visuals of this heist have seen even more obvious changes over Turbid Station, though it’s still hauntingly recognizable to experienced heisters.

First Person Animations

Our animation team has outdone themselves and put together some fine looking first person animations for a lot of the player actions. It really makes it feel better to swipe money when you see it getting taken.

As part of this, you can now inspect both your gloves and weapons by using the corresponding option in the context wheel.

Transporter Skill Line

This skill line is all about carrying, be that bodies, loot or equipment. With this skill line you’ll do so faster and more efficiently, even letting you carry two bags at once.

New Mask & Preset Weapon

Added the Under Wraps mask and the Compact7 Lycan preset weapons.

Level Cap Rewards

While we did expect you guys to outdo our expectations, you guys have crushed our predictions. As such this is the first addition of items exclusively available to those who have hit the level cap. We will call the levels passed the infamy cap “Renown”. When hitting a new renown level, you’ll be rewarded with consumable items that will be dropped for each renown level. We hope to expand this in the future, for all of you unstoppable heisters.

Infamy for each heist completed

Our game designer Mio has written a blog-style post about the changes, and how they work just below.

Recommended Challenges

Lastly on this list, we’ve added recommended challenges. Recommendations will show both on the main menu with general challenges you are close to, or could complete, and also in the heist selection when hovering over each heist.

Together with the Infamy per heist completion, we hope this will provide a good starting point for addressing your concerns about the challenges.

Added Lobby Chat for PC

We’ve added the much requested lobby chat for PC. We are still looking into how to best implement a text chat for console players.

Heist Completion Infamy Points

“With this update, we are adding Infamy Points to heist payouts. Points are awarded for three accomplishments:

  • Completing the heist successfully
  • Completing the heist entirely without raising the alarm (aka “in Stealth”)
  • Completing the heist by securing all bags

These payouts are added up together and aren’t mutually exclusive, which means that if you complete a heist without raising the alarm, you’ll get points for completion and for finishing it in stealth.

The amount of Infamy Points you get for each of these three factors depends on which heist you are playing and on which difficulty. Heists that are generally harder to stealth will have the majority of their points in the stealth payout. Heists that have low minimal loot (like Dirty Ice), will have a low completion payout, but a high “all bags” payout. And so on… To clear up any confusion, the “all bags” payout only cares about you extracting all the baggable loot, it doesn’t care about loose cash or the quality of the loot (for example, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a cleaned jewelry bag or not in Dirty Ice).

With this change, we’ve introduced an infinite source of Infamy Points to the game, so that required that we make some other changes. Once you reach the level cap (Infamy Level 150), instead of earning additional levels, all your Infamy Points will go towards a new system called “Renown.” Every time you earn 2000 Infamy Points, regardless of whether it’s from challenges or heist payouts, you will get a level of Renown and a random reward. The rewards can be a stack of C-Stacks, consumable weapon stickers and consumable mask patterns. We also plan to expand this system with more consumable cosmetics in future updates. Any cosmetics earned through Renown are exclusive to Renown and won’t be earnable through other methods. Please keep in mind that these rewards are consumable, so use them wisely, otherwise you’ll have to wait until they drop again for you to use them.

For this update, we have 1188 Renown levels, which will be visible to you in the main menu through a combination of icon and number next to your name. Once you reach the Renown cap, you will still be able to earn Renown rewards, but the number counter will no longer go up until we raise the Renown cap.

How does this affect any future Infamy Level cap increases? While we can’t say when we plan to raise the Infamy Level cap, once we do, all your Infamy Points will go towards your level instead of towards Renown. Once you reach the new Infamy Level cap, you’ll start earning Renown again instead, back from where you left off. And no need to worry about “wasting” challenges on Renown in the meantime; any Infamy Level cap increase will come with a set of new challenges worth as much as the new infamy levels require.

We plan to monitor this system and we’ll further tune it and update it based on stats and player feedback.” -Mio

Balance

There’s a lot to parse through, but our friendly neighborhood designer Mio has been kind enough to provide some additional information on most of the balance changes. Thanks Mio!

“While we are happy with how armor works as a mechanic right now, we wanted to address some armor-related skills that were overperforming. We also understand that players want more ways to restore armor without relying on the Armor Bag deployable. To help with this, a future update will introduce Armor Repair Kits that players will be able to get from hostage trading to repair damaged armor chunks (but not restore lost ones). We don’t have an estimated time for the Armor Repair Kit, but we’ll try to get it in as soon as we can.” -Mio

Skills

  • Armor Up (Tank): Interacting with any armor bag will also repair your current armor chunk.
    • With this change, Armor Up should still be able to get you “two chunks” of armor, but you need to use it at the correct time, before the chunk you want to repair breaks. We’re hoping that this timing requirement makes it less of a mandatory pick for all players and rewards more careful play.
  • Last Man Standing (Tank): base duration has been decreased from 10 to 4 seconds, but the duration increases by 2 seconds for each player who is downed, or in custody when the skill activates.
    • This change will make stacking Last Man Standing in the entire crew less powerful, but it will still be as effective in those dire situations when you are, in fact, the last man standing.
  • Blade Bouncer (Infiltrator): Increased the damage from the Blade Bouncer skill to 200% (from 100%) per bounce.
    • Blade Bouncer was already difficult to use, so we made sure that one bounce was enough to kill a Shield. We recommend going for two bounces if you want to make the Dozer a pin-cushion.
  • Cooker (Demolitionist): Lowered the cooking requirement for Cooker from 1.5 to 1.0 second.
  • Coup De Grace (Tactician): Increased Coup De Grace bonus damage from 5% to 10%.
    • The ease of activating Coup De Grace with certain automatic weapons made us more conservative with the initial balance. We are hoping the new 10% damage bonus makes it more appealing.
  • Master Trader (Manipulator): Lowered the time reduction from Master Trader from 20 to 10 seconds per hostage.
    • We feel that even with this nerf, Master Trader is a very desirable skill to have, and players who specialize in trading will get the most benefit out of it.
  • Combat Marking (Strategist): Increased the damage bonus from Combat Marking from 10% to 20%
  • Detonation (Engineer): Increased the damage of the Sentry turret with the Detonate skill to 300/200/100 across 2.5/4/8 meters.
    • The damage turrets did when detonating didn’t seem worth the skill point investment. This way there’s a much higher chance that the enemies nearest to it will die.
  • The skills "Steady Hands" and "Field Surgery" no longer work with first aid kits
    • This was an unintended bug with first aid kit interactions.
  • Fixed the skill Cover-Up in the CQC Specialist tree preventing the Lead Guard radio's functioning as intended. They should now repeatedly check in as intended.
    • This was an unintended bug. We hope this fix makes the Lead Guard appropriately challenging (and annoying) to play around again.
  • Fixed an issue where the skill, Plate Up, wouldn't trigger reliably
  • Fixed an issue where the Cover-Up skill would stop the lead guards radio from calling more than once.
  • Fixed so that the skill 'Routed Ping' no longer marks enemies through cameras permanently
  • Changed the immunity duration of the skill "Last Man Standing" from the Tank skill line to a base of 4 seconds, adding 2 seconds for each player or AI downed or in custody
  • Armor Up no longer restores two plates flat, interacting with an armor bag will now instead also repair your damaged armor chunk and add one full plate

Weapons

  • Recoil updated for Mosconi12 FP to prevent clipping with the camera
  • Updated hand position when using the Signature 40 pistol (Steam)
  • Reduced self-damage from the Mamba OVERKILL weapon by 80%
    • The self damage of the OVK Mamba was working against the usage of the weapon, this is now greatly reduced to increase the viability of the weapon in tighter spaces. - Weapons Designer Jimmy
  • Increased ammo pickup for all SMG's by roughly 20%
    • The SMG weapons were generally underperforming with their ammo usage in the game, therefore we increased the pickup ratio given from ammo resources  - Weapons Designer Jimmy
  • Fixed an issue causing reload animations to play when leaving ADS if using Ammo Funnel and Replenish skills
  • Fixed an issue with Northwest B-9 preventing it from passing level 26
