As in, "can take out multiple juggernauts in one shot" powerful.

Which you're not allowed to use for now anymore. So many friendly downs and the tasers...

Never keep the rpg out when tasers are around.

**Melissia**

Aww :(

**Deathklaat**

well it took all of less than 2 min for me to be completely annoyed with Jacket, the tape recordings sound like garbage and are annoying as hell. They either need to fix them or make an option to let people not allow certain characters in games. If you join my game as Jacket you are getting kicked.

**BrookM**

Ha, haven't bought HM2 yet, dunno when I will, the budget being about as big as that of a hobo these days.

Spring Break is now live, with something new and free every day: http://www.overkillsoftware.com/springbreak/

Today, two extra heists that were first part of multi-day jobs.

Here's whats lined up for the rest of the week:

The 18th we'll see the carjacking heist.

I can't help but laughing every time I hear it. I think it's brilliant in how it was done, since he doesn't actually talk in game. The fact that they're bad and scratchy sounding adds to the effect if anything. I mean, have you ever recorded a bunch of stuff through a crappy microphone onto a tape recorder? I'd be annoyed if it sounded clean.

**BrookM**

They released Bonnie today and well.. fun shotgun aside, she's a walking stereotype.

Also, we were playing the X-Mas Heist and I managed to find Almir's Toast twice!

**BrookM**

Incoming today.. SWAT van turrets.

Tomorrow should be interesting though, new heist!

**Deathklaat**

this is why i love Payday 2

The Tids

Some say his racing leathers are made from bleached dolphin skin, and that his oily secretions are prized in Chinese medicine. All we know is… he’s called The Tids.

**BrookM**

I fear the Car Shop Heist will be a late one, plus they're still working on fixing the SWAT turret, which causes the game to crash if you use trip mines or HE rounds..

**daedalus**

Nope. We got the Car shop AND they fixed the bug per today's update:

**BrookM**

Interesting! I'll give it a try tomorrow then!

**Deathklaat**

got my Stig mask, i hope we get more driving missions.

**BrookM**

I gave it a quick try last night, but I'm going to need a bigger crew for this one, solo won't cut it.

**Deathklaat**

I did it on normal solo and I got the stig helmet on normal solo. a group of people makes the driving such a pain, a pair of players could complete it no problems, even rushing.

I haven't tried on any of the harder difficulties yet but the only part I can see other players being helpful is looking for the IT person's name. There is enough time while the PC is hacking to run out and plant C4.

**BrookM**

Well, new free weapon pack out soon, it includes horrible bling. Autrocious weapon decorations and upgrades for the saw?

Okay, silent saws are useless, seeing as people still react to the screeching of the saw..

**Melissia**

Seriously? That sucks. we were getting excited over the silent saw, too.

**BrookM**

Maybe it's a bug, but if it isn't, I really don't see the use of a saw that may have a silent engine, but still makes screeching noises. Bleh.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also had a look at the new reticules just now, aside from one or two, most of them are quite useless and more of a novelty factor.

**Melissia**

I can see a one or two good ones and three or four ones that might work for a shotgun.

**BrookM**

Today's thing isn't all that special, though true to form Overkill is getting a lot of gak for it, shame really as what they're doing is quite a nice gesture towards another indy-dev.

**BrookM**

Hoxton's Revenge will be out later tonight. You get two new masks: a clean version of Hox's new mask and a pretty sleek riot helmet, should go nicely with the ICTV:

ALSO: Fixed the Silent Motor weapon mod's sound radius and changed it from 35 meters to 7 meters

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Played through the revenge heist twice now, it's a solid one, good for honing those sneaking skills. I'm only disappointed by the unveil of who the rat actually is.

From Steam:

Two More Years of PAYDAY 2!
Heisters!

We've seen many of your comments already. At OVERKILL, we are still celebrating. If you've been trying to steal cars in the Car Shop Heist or have been avenging Hoxton all day, this might be news for you. Let me get you in the loop:

We are going to support PAYDAY 2 for two more years!

Yes! We are very excited about this. We love working on PAYDAY 2 and look forward taking care of our game for two more years, making new free updates, paid DLC's and awesome campaigns together with the community. This is possible because we signed a new deal together with our publishing partner 505 games. Thanks to them, we can continue focusing on making PAYDAY 2 better and better.

On behalf of the rest of the crew, thank you everyone for your support through the years! We wouldn't be where we are without you guys! We will honor your support by continue supporting PAYDAY 2 for two more years.

Alright! We have a lot in store for the rest of the year and have no time to rest.

Let's do this!

Almir
OVERKILL - a Starbreeze Studio.

**daedalus**

Oh god, cue the deluge of bile from the 'community' about how they're only going to support it for two more years.

**LordofHats**

Que development for Pay Day 3! I'm excited

**BrookM**

My guess is Lion Game Lion will be doing most of the DLC from now on, so Overkill can focus on their Walking Derp game.

On the bright side, hopefully there will be many more crossovers that help promote indy games and the like!

**Melissia**

I like Hoxton's Revenge.

It's fun to do loud on higher difficulties with a full group.

**BrookM**

Loud it's okay, bit tedious really, though maybe I'm just spoiled by all this silent sneaking around gak.

**Melissia**

Huh? I didn't 'ever sneak around, I just burst in guns blazing from the start.

**BrookM**

So, hate cops a lot? Want to burn them?
