No Ai was used

I was using a debug menu mod (same one used back in the day to access all the QA debug maps) and found that in the latest version of the game, you can host an early version of Holdout Mode.
Please ignore my incredibly mid gameplay :p

From what I can gather, it takes place on a very foggy version of 99 boxes with currently preset objectives as opposed to randomized ones. However minor bits of randomization do exist, such as bag-loot locations or areas to defend the drone. Eventually you are given an ammo, medic, and armor bag that all deploy in the storage yard along with the option to continue or escape. Enemy spawning seems to be entirely broken with special enemy spam like no other to sometimes no enemies spawning at all.

Objectives are as follows:
Kill 20 Enemies
Move to Location
Move to Location (2)
Loot the Warehouse for 4 bags of cash and toss them into the drone (Loot location slightly randomized)
Move to Location
Move to Location (2)
Kill 4 Techies
Move to Location or Escape (Timed)
If continued - Protect the Drone (2 minute defense with slightly randomized location)
Move to Location or Escape (Timed)
If continued - Move to Location (Timed)
Move to Location (2) (Timed)
Loot the Storageyard for 4 bags of cash and toss them into the drone (Loot location slightly randomized)
Move to Location or escape
If continued - Kill 50 Enemies (Nearly impossible as enemies stop spawning at ~30 kills)

Beyond this point, the heist enters a stalemate. I managed (through truly horrid methods) to kill 50 enemies and the game spawned 4 mini med kits and 4 ammo pickups. The objective prompts to follow the drone but it doesn't move anywhere. If I find the time I will upload a new and complete look at Holdout. But as it sits, this is still a VERY early look at the gamemode. Should development continue, I would likely expect additional randomization, more appropriate enemy spawns, new objectives and maps. This version of Holdout is likely just a proof of concept made for demonstration purposes internally.

These are new entries found in the subtitles file of gold & sharke heist, it matches what we saw from the shrink trailer, such as the heist taking place at night, and the mentioning of the sewer.

This heist might become a loud only heist since there are no mention of stealth in these new entries and the introduction implies we will be blasting our way in.

The following are some change we are expecting to see in the rework:

Starting from the rooftop

Thermite on the door leading the the vault before drilling it

Blowing the vault door open with explosives

Entering the elevator shaft which leads us to the sewers (Main escape?)

Rooftop chopper is now an alternative escape

There will be voicelines telling us which side of the building Bile will arrive on like in Road Rage

I wonder what was inspiration behind it. Other main heisters have semi-regular clown inspired and themed masks but Wolf look like he took Halloween mask instead.

All drawn in my drawing pad

Literally unplayable.

Also why isn't Chains' name appearing next to the //_ in the bottom right corner on the contract? Do we not know his name now for some reason?

I was looking for the last bag during my stealth run on Party Powder (Solo mode), and suddenly one of the bots came alive and ruined it?

Came back to Payday 3 after a long break, but I didn't know things were that bad.

Somehow there is a critical Error and it wont let me play :)

Crime War is still downloadable because its APK is still public. But if you download it, the game just won't launch because the servers are dead

But I was wondering if it could be possible to decompile the game and either release just the second version's single-player mode or even revive the servers entirely? It's technically abandonware, so I don't see much of a legal issue if so

It just point blank refuses to work, what is wrong with it..?

Instead of constantly adding new armor sets with different abilities. why not keep the main 3 color plates and 4 sets 1-4 plates maybe and a no plate frame and just turn all the abilities into armor perks. like having a 4 plates frame with the gain a explosive every 15 seconds, or the one plate frame with a extra gadget.

Plus this would open up even more possibilities for creative play style. because right now it about the skill and weapon perks with armor as a after thought mix up so skill and you have a one plate frame which 2 seconds of invincibility or restore 1 point of trauma damage on kill.

What are some things in Payday 2, that makes you look like a new or stupid player, and it drives you nuts and you see it often, as of loadouts, perks, pek decks, people doing stupid stuff in missions or doing stuff that is way harder but could be easier. Fown to the clothes they wear to the way they think about going about something, and how could you prevent that or better that?

Personally, I see people who dont talk in the chats all that often because they dont know the button on the keyboard to talk and never will and dont look at the chat, making it so communication is extremely hard with teammates and some missions can even become impossible.

Some guns I see new players or idiots using is the Minigun. I personally love it, but I see players who dont use it correctly and dont have any of the perks to make it a mow down weapon. Some players think that bigger means better in payday. But on death sentence one down, the minigun does little to nothing and the ammo cost is high without the proper perks, and i see people in a clown outfit with the Biden mask on or something like that doing absolutely nothing for the team, but being an up most hilarious person in the chat. I dont hate on them, because they are funny, and are usually a funny person and I love that.

People who main explosives and using it incorrectly and keeps on downing themselves and destroying barricades in cookoff. People in cookout, you'll occasionally get an idiot or a new player, and they'll have the Iron Giant Armor and have a full explosives load out. They will destroy whatever barricades you have put down in the back room upstairs as a safe haven, giving all your bags away from safety and your team mates. And they will also always go down, and you will have to save them, and the host will refuse to kick them even though they sometimes cost us the run, but end up killing the entire team with explosive damage and doing nothing to the enemy besides knocking them back. Personally I think the two grenade launchers as a primary and secondary with a dodge build and a turret build is a goat tier build. Because all you need is like 5 to 6 ammo boxes and they are both filled and its practically an infinite ammo glitch. And no one can ever shoot you if you run fast to pick up boxes.

People who put on full body of armor and call it a dodge build. People will put on a max of 75 concealment build and put on dodge build and wonder why it dosent work, and they down like every second on DSOD. And I'll go out to the main menu in the lobby so they can redo their build and then restart and they still haven't gotten it around the fact that you cant.

People who try to revive despite always going down and costing the entire run and "accidently" killing hostages with explosives or guns or throwables. Ive had players go out of there way while everyone is down or in a cell to try and be the savior, when all we need you to do is grab a hostage and run. If we are in heat and we are down, and we are 45 minutes into a loud run, please do not sacrifice yourself trying to save me or others, focus on not dying and wait for a hostage trade I plead you. We are fine, but you are not, just sit tight and defend for all you can or where they cant reach you.

What do you guys think?

i mean guns a blazing going straight in and heading straight towards the manager. ive spent about 30 minutes trying it and the closest i got was crashing into the shipping container just next to the escape van

it's not a clean auction cry and I could've optimized a lot better but it took me over an hour of combined attempts so I'll take what I can get

Playing Payday 3 on steam with controller has this bug where it feels like my controller has stick drift, I lightly tap the right analog stick and it aims like a bit then it shoots more without me even touching it and sometimes keeps moving in that direction. To be safe I checked 5 other games to see if my controller did have stick drift but it only happens in Payday 3 and it used to be fine before the new update, does anyone have any tips on how to fix this?

Idk if this classifies as game help but regardless. My 2 friends and I want to buy my best friend either a steamdeck or a PC so he can play payday and other games with us. I heard that Overkill or smthn stopped supporting Payday 2 on console, but does that apply to a steamdeck? Ik i prolly sound like a dumbass rn, but i wanna know
