i bought that game in 2021 because everyone told me it was great. my friends forgot that i don't have a gaming PC.

at the time i knew NOTHING about diesel engine, PD2 legacy edition, Scarface DLC being delisted, less heists and overkill in 2019 announcing that there would be no more updates for Crimewave edition

so i bought the game for €1,69 because it was on sale

at first i was having fun, learning how to play a new game, messing around with gunsmith (still noticing that it was a bit limited in certain aspects) and my first biggest complaint was that there were very few weapons in certain categories even with DLCs

then i started consuming more payday 2 content, and everyone was playing on PC, and there i saw literally GOD. there were so many more things than in the console version, even without having to buy the DLCs, there were things that in Console weren't even there, like clothes customization, gun skins...

then i tried thinking about what do we have. Storymode? yeah storymode that ends in the middle of the actual gamelore, and can be played only once. and... and nothing else really.

i kept playing it because it was one of the few games i had at the time so it was really my only option, but playing it just made me feel hollow, like, if only my PC wasn't ass that i need to use to work everyday with, i might've had a better experience, or in a few words: "€1,69 down the drain"

the game is still very active with many lobbies, so i can't even say the game is dead and unplayable, but what i can say is that i can't see one single good side compared to payday 2 on PC, and Crimewave i awful compared to it, and i could've spent my money better.

but maybe i'm wrong. you tell me, do you see any bright side?

Seriously fuck these guys they've ended all of my runs

Like using the minigun for lauching bags futher then intended.

Loving the new weapons, so I say we add more! These are my fav and would love to see them akimbo!

Beside the post, in my personal opinion is that I'm dissapointed that all that challenges reward for heist are just charms. Yeah! Just what I needed, CHARMS! I LOVE CHARMS! Which I hope to dearest that they start adding masks, outfits or even OVERKILL weapon skins or whatever (except stickers)

coming back with a new artwork :3

Instead of slowly loading one shell after another or being caught between reloads. This could increase reload by a good amount instead of pulling on CQC barrel attachment for faster reload. And could have 2,3,4 and 8 shell loader for the guns.

The only thing I can think of for a down side is that you must be missing the exact amount of shell to use the speed loader if not you load the gun normally reload one shell at a time

For example if you have 7 out of 8 shells you would load one shell normally. 6 out of 8 would speed load 2, 5 out of 8 speed load 2 and normal load 1. But if on empty you would load whatever number speed loader you have until that number can’t fit then back to normal loading until full.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to open a discussion about the current state of weapon balance in PAYDAY 3. While you can solo clear Overkill with literally anything, the gap between weapon classes is massive, and certain archetypes desperately need an overhaul.

Here is what stands out:

The Power Gap: SMGs/Shotguns vs. ARs and Snipers

SMGs and Shotguns are extremely strong, offering incredible fire rates, effortless armor melting, stagger utility, and amazing sustain perks like Vampire healing.

Assault Rifles can hold their ground a bit better for general clearing, but they still struggle to match the pure efficiency of the meta choices when facing Dozers.

Snipers suffer the most. You can make them work on Overkill, but the perks and skill support around them are just not that good. They require an overhaul to feel worth the primary slot.

(I think that relying on overkill weapons to kill dozers, now that they run... It's just straight bullshit when you have things like an SMG or a shotgun).

To put the sniper/precision weapon issue into perspective: look at the Spearfish. It just received a new iconic weapon update in the crimebond, but it raises a fundamental question—why would someone play with the Spearfish when you have the Castigo?

Both are precision weapons that rely entirely on headshots.

Both two tap kill heavies to the head.

The Catch: The Castigo reloads significantly faster and allows you to abuse the Bounty Hunter perk to gather tons of resources (heals, extra downs, armor regen).

(Don't get me wrong—it might sound like I'm hating on snipers, but I love them! They are genuinely among my favorite weapon types in the game, which is why it's so frustrating to see them underperform compared to sidearm revolvers.)

I doubt these things will be addressed in skills 3.0 overhaul.

They just stated that now "we will be able to choose skills more freely..."

Idk.. what do you people think?

Now it’s been out for a tiny bit. what’s everyone’s thoughts?

i personally think the akimbo animations aren’t great and the guns in the crime bond are pretty weak.

Personally, I thought it was an overall positive addition to the game. The highlight is easily the dual grimshots, they pack quite the punch, can countersnipe surprisingly well for a pair of shotties, and if you make sure to keep your shots on even numbers, the reload time ain't so bad. The revolvers are a well-needed primary option for pistol builds, but I dislike how disharmonious the pistol skills feel with Payday 3's gameplay loop, so they're a bit of a miss. The iconics are decently fun to build around, though I wish they weren't so busy cosmetically. Same dealio with some of the outfits and masks.

What do you think?

I'm looking for weapon stats but was pretty disappointed in-game because I can't see the penetration levels of some weapons etc, and I don't want to trust old blogs. I did find 3 Excel spreadsheets, but they were all deleted...

This has been fixed now thank you

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my thoughts with the new Trickshot perk. It's a really cool concept on paper, but after looking at how it actually interacts with some revolvers, I feel like it's a bit of a missed opportunity.

Imagine if Trickshot buffed damage just a little bit more—literally just enough to push weapons like the Castigo or the Sforza Bison over the threshold to one-tap enemies to the head.

That would open up an incredible, high-skill playstyle:

Firing from the hip or quick - scoping,

Keeping your crosshairs locked in the right place, and

Constantly swapping weapons back and forth to maintain that extra damage buff and secure clean, satisfying one-taps.

Rn, I have to ask: Why would you use Trickshot with the Castigo or Sforza if it takes the exact same amount of headshots to kill?

Because it doesn't change the shots-to-kill breakpoints on these specific weapons, Trickshot feels pretty weak when paired with them. It doesn't give you that rewarding damage leap you'd expect from a perk built around aggressive weapon swapping.

Perhaps I'm missing something... I want to hear your thoughts!

Not a single lobby is showing up, I never modded my game nor cheated . Is there any fix for this I already have 17 hours in this game I can't even refund it anymore.

Edit: it's solved once I set my distance filter to worldwide

The trophy is fixed! All you gotta do is log into the game if you’ve already met the requirements!
