Okay, new stuff out now. Only had enough cash to get one of the new toys, so M79 it is. Not super useful for Malcrashers due to smaller blast radius, but it can pretty much one-shot just about anything out there, which is good. The flip-up sight is a nice touch, takes some getting used to.
Also tried the ding dong, most excellent melee weapon.
It's a hoot so far, I tried it on Mall Crashers first, not a good choice, then on Rats, most excellent for holding off the Feds while waiting for the van to arrive. Also a rather sneaky way of clearing the route to the bus, you clear a path while your buddies advance. Really need to try it with the sniper vantage points.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Okay, the FAMAS is really heavy on the recoil, that will take some unlocking and modding to become an interesting weapon choice.

Okay PC players, drop what you're doing, update the game and watch the #FREEHOXTON trailer that they've put in place of the Dentist trailer right fething now!
Ran through the new mission last night with two other friends. We got the first day in one run. The second day we barely limped through on about the third time through it. Wow, that was hard.
It wasn't our A group that was playing though. It will be interesting to go through that again with those guys and see what happens.
The butcher knife seems amazing so far. I haven't tried any of the other melee weapons. The Blaster 9mm is pretty nice too. Really good damage, but the range is pretty short. Perfect for day 2. Next time I play, I'm going to try out the Cobra.
Hard mission for sure, but oh gak the experience is insane. With a bonus you can break 1 million exp on deathwish.
EDIT: Day 1 is very hard for PUGs/uncoordinated groups, and still quite challenging even if you coordinate. Day 2 is actually quite easy, as shotguns are already very powerful, and the map is tailor made for HE and Slug.

Well, one of our guys is a bit of a lame duck in anything straightforward, but he's a wizard at stealth missions, so we were at a pretty big disadvantage on killing power there. We ran it on overkill. Might try DW eventually with the A group before I go infamous again.
The biggest problem we had on day 2 [spoilier]was realizing you needed to hit the sprinkler to put out the fire when the heli hits the room with a missile. The other guys thought we needed to wait it out, and it was stuck in my head that I just needed wade through the fire and start the drill while burning. Right before we lost the first time, I saw the sprinkler. [/spoilier]
This was at about 1:00 AM last night. Sleep deprivation might have been an issue. I will be trying again tomorrow with the good group and at an earlier hour.
It is about the Hotline Miami game. It is a DLC for another game that is an homage to Hotline Miami. I really liked Hotline Miami, I have no idea what Payday2 is about though.

Four player coop objective based FPS that has you doing bank heists and other nefariousness. Heavily influenced from various crime movies like Heat. Lots of weapon options/leveling/achievements/standard issue mechanics that have to go into every modern game.
I understand it's pretty miserable if you have to rely on pick up games, and most missions are stupid hard if you're playing solo, but if you have a group of friends you play it with, it's amazing. Certainly one of the few games I can actually stand to play for more than an hour or so at a time.

The game plays best with people you know and can readily communicate with, especially the bigger missions that last several days.

After a year of waiting finally get to play as the proper Hoxton again. Also was it me or the breakout heist was really difficult? The first day especially, pushing through all those cops on the open street really reminded me of heat street from the first game which was an absolute nightmare.
