Only trouble is that cops can block poo poo like drill screens and keycards and all that. It would be pretty impressive seeing the legions of fallen copspawn on your way out of a job.

I still don't have the two-tone slide so I'm down a couple stability from perfect, like it matters at this point. It performs like a slightly anemic but unshakably accurate assault rifle. I'm trying to build a similarly kitted Stryk but I'm just getting nothing for parts.

Otherwise the pile outside the vault would have been as high as the door. e: favorite pistol chat, I like the the Sig .40 but it really depends on parts that you have available.

Geight posted:If that doesn't kill your performance then having every level become a mass cop grave should totally be a feature. The cop bodies aren't a real issue. They're not moving. It's the particle effects of the never-despawning smoke that will kill your computer though. Had that happen to my crew. It didn't bother me as host because I didn't get the bug, but one of our crew crashed it got so bad and the other two were slowly being reduced to slideshow performance.

Roll the persistent bodies into the game, then add skills that let technicians build corpse fortresses, enforcers to swing dead cops like great big clubs, masterminds whisper into the ears of the dead to make them rise and fight against their living brethren, and ghosts can just hide in the body piles I dunno.

You can sort of do that with body bags, they do block LOS and stop bullets.

I swear I saw a Cloaker playing dead yesterday, as if I wasn't paranoid about them enough. Also I'm an idiot and decided that sitting on 100+ skillpoints and millions of dollars was too easy and decided to go into Infamy 1. Hopefully some poor goons will carry me to a respectable level tomorrow.

Chimano Custom is good if you want to trade some damage for more ammo. Overkill must really like the .40S&W.

Now i'm going to buy body bag assets for every mission and go out of my way to gank civies to dig in on bank heists and what not. It's not like you're going to keep all those hostages on Big Bank anyway.

The one I see somewhat often is Ceiling Cloaker peeking through the skylights on Trustee banks. Or if there's no skylights he's just absorbing some heat like a lizard, I guess.

The Cheshire Cat posted:I like it too, but it just doesn't feel right without the ability to dual wield them. Payday 2 would benefit so much from the addition of duel wielding pistols. There's already a bunch of Leon references on the Beretta 92, why not go full hog and let you duel wield them? Also then stability might actually matter.

I could see why they might not want to make it an option for every sidearm, but it'd be fun to have at least one pair for a change of pace. All this talk of dual wielding, plus remembering that I named by Beretta the Hong Kong Special, has got me watching classic John Woo clips  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wYCh5nxyCI Sidenote: If you're the kind of person that likes Payday and you haven't watched Hard Boiled then I don't even know what you're doing with your life.

How do you remove your primary weapon? It seems like you have to do that for low visibility now, and I can't find a button for it anywhere.

Turns out I'm really bad at stealthing big bank on death wish. Also pictures. not pictured me freaking out because i think the civies on the ground are going to see. There was going to be another picture of this old ladies face that was super detailed compared to everyone else but I forgot to shoot it because i'm an idiot.

Tulip posted:So some thoughts on weapons. I managed to completely miss its Ace-level ability; I'm definitely prioritizing it now. Thanks again for the help with this! Any tips on how to select weapons for particular maps? So far, I've basically been alternating between my Eagle Heavy and Commando .553 basically on a whim rather than any conscious decision-making, with a Signature .40 as my secondary. I definitely think that I'm starting to prefer the the Commando .553, mostly because its larger magazine size and ammo pool makes clearing rooms easier, and it's actually possible to control its bursts when a room is getting stormed. This is my full arsenal, though: code:

In general, concealment only matter for guns that you're only going to use for stealth heists for the purpose of bringing your visibility down. For the weapons you bring on loud heists, whatever makes that gun shoot better is an upgrade you should put on. (there are a few exceptions, mostly in the case of LMGs)

Being assaulted by hundreds of highly trained and alarmingly geared FBI agents is nice and all, but I hope they give us an update that drops the military on your rear end. I just won't feel validated as a public menace until I'm dodging SMAW rockets on the way back to the van.

I've been slowly speccing my way into a Ghost/Mastermind build that (at least theoretically) specializes in silenced pistols for picking off cops while the rest of my team takes the heat. What's my best bet for a pistol that can be silenced (I'm usually all about revolvers but noise means the Bronco is out), has good damage, and is accurate enough to pick off enemies even at longer ranges? Is it the Deagle? Also, what primary would best compliment that playstyle?
