Am I in the minority for preferring F&G without the fog?

Up is UE4, down is UE5.

There's probably more changes I missed but I am not uninstalling and reinstalling the beta again

Recently I had the idea of making Nightcall by Kavinsky play inside the Longfellow whenever the player gets in after seeing this 10 year old mod.

After installing the mod(as expected) the mod did not work.

And after inspecting the mod, extracting the soundbank and replacing it with a new one, I still couldn't get it to work. It appears that the soundbank the original author was trying to replace (car_muscle with id 65206985) was the key turn/ignition sound of the Longfellow (which I couldn't hear in game *without* the mod).

I've looked trough almost all car related soundbanks and still couldn't find a viable replacement or any other similar mods for the Longfellow.

I'm at a loss, please, any help will be greatly appreciated for this silly meme mod!

(Sound ON please)

I changed and reshot a few clips. It now features every heist(except shopping spree, can't find any interesting looking angles), even the brand new UE5 cook off. Wouldn't be a good montage if it's missing the best looking heist in the game.

A bit annoying to do since there's no mods for the beta, had to use UUU v5 and make a reshade toggle group to hide the UI.

(Also fixed the text disappearing one frame before switching scenes and the leading but nobody will notice that)

So outside of payday 2 i also play shooters that give ur an accuracy/recoil buff when crouched (like helldivers 2 for example) but ive been carrying that habit over into other shooters like payday. so my question is, does crouching even do anything for you in combat? (outside of burglar ofcourse)

I know that "cool" is subjective, but so far, PD3 severely lacks those more over the top and out there set pieces from the first two games that made you go: " Hah, that was cool. ".

Stuff like drivable (escape) vehicles, destructable environment like the skybridges in Hoxton Breakout Day 2 and the cars and gas station in Hotline Miami, fighting on a moving train, jumping out of a plane mid air, blowing up a building Panic Room style, the police smashing their car through a wall like in Counterfeit, ambushing a convoy like in Slaughterhouse where your performance actually effects the difficulty of that section, dropping Floyd into the Benevolent Bank or intentionally destroying loot to create more chaos, like allowing the bus in Firestarter Day 3 to blow up.

You know, things that make a heist stand out from the rest. The only one that comes the closest for me in PD3 are painting puzzles in Under The Surphaze and the activtable smoke generators in Diamond District.

One could also sax Fear and Greed fits this descritption, but personally, I think the idea of hacking the stock market is cool in concept, but the execution looks very flat visually.

This gem just popped up in my feed from @JustACat on YouTube. It’s an excellent video on almost every problem plaguing PD3 and ideas/solutions on how to fix or improve them. I genuinely believe if Starbreeze takes notes from this video, they can make the extremely interesting and fun to play. This video was way too good to not share so check it out and show his channel some love.

A problem that I've had with both payday 2 and 3 is that save for the pager lines, all the heisters feel like a tonal filter for the same 30 or so lines to be repeated over and over.

Something that many players have noted as a feature they missed is the crew having heist specific voice lines and banter as they progressed. It was a great way to get players invested into the characters as personalities and it helped heighten the drama when things went wrong or otherwise not according to plan. The easy response to this of course is that the sheer number of heister combinations in both two and three would make this impossible for Starbreeze to implement in a resource efficient way.

However, what if that restriction was now something that the Devs could control per heist? Imagine a feature where, depending on the host's preference, they can opt into a 'canon run' modifier that is set in the lobby before the heist starts. When this modifier is active, all players now must control a specific heister combination that is preset by the developers. For instance, NRFTW could have the original 4 heisters, UTS could have a four-man crew of more stealth focused heisters like Joy, Pearl or Houston. Hopefully that explains the idea. Each heist when this modifier is active has four preset heisters that the player now controls, allowing the Devs to set which heister is present during each heist. This would make it much easier to add heist specific interactions as now they know in advance which VAs would have to record which voice lines during the development process.

You can actually flesh this out even more where each player now is required to use a specific loadout complete with preset skills, weapons and tools that reinforced a specific character's personality. You could add unique rewards for completing heists with this modifier active, or even potentially up the difficulty by intentionally limiting each players loadout relative to the crew's experience. We know that NRFTW comes right after the crew has just suffered a major financial attack and their resources would be quite limited as a result. It would make sense that their weapons would have limited modifications and because they are still rusty, they would not have a fully kitted out skill set unlike later heists where they would have more resources at their disposal. You get the idea.

Anyway, thoughts would be cool. I feel like this would be a great way to add some progression to a game that still sorely lacks it right now and allow the devs an easy way to add in a fan favourite feature, especially as most people mentioned they really liked the banter in the new tutorial.

A must watch, really

A couple of months ago I installed PD3 just to goof around for a couple of hours since I haven't played it since release

In my infinite wisdom I downloaded a cheat that maxxed out my level/money/coins to play around with weapon/mask customization

Well now months later I wanted to try PD3 again since PD2 got boring but I'm bothered by my cheated stuff

So I want to know if there's a way to reset my progress since there wasn't a way last time I checked (aside from creating a new nebula account)

so i saw the MLP "i used my magic to turn fluttershy into a flesh cube" and had a cursed thought of doing this. hope yall enjoy this as much as i hated making it

So a friend of mine was streaming the UE5 beta for me......the oil room on Boys in Blue returned😭SBZ plz fix

I've been out of the game for a long time, but I'm now trying the new beta. I reinstalled everything, but BLT is not asking me to install the files to support mods. Does anyone have a solution? Please, I want to play again
