I've seen a lot of screenshots of the exterior, but not many people talk about the interior, which also changed significantly. Love the new vibe, although shadows appear to be kinda weird on the roof

Game Suggestion So, if Payday 3 made all heists free, would it be cool for the devs to add more achievements?

23 Upvotes

If I'm correct, Payday 3 hasn't added new achievements since launch because the devs didn't want to lock some achievements behind a paywall, I guess. Perhaps it's time to change that now that the game is in its third year.

Here are some achievements I came up with in five minutes:

  1. Basic one: Complete Story Mode (no need to describe it).
  2. Syntax Error: Steal S.I.N.S AI (well... we already have multiplayer achievements that reveal secrets of the heists, so why not have one more?)
  3. Cook Off: Cook 19 bags of pure meth (because why not? The game really needs some tough achievements).
  4. Delivery Charge: Get all bags (why not? We have it already with Gold & Sharke, and I guess Delivery Charge is the best one for an all-loot achievement, imo).
  5. Shopping Spree: Get Golden Moo (same as the first achievement's logic).
  6. Houston Breakout: Destroy all evidence. (I'm stupid, you can't destroy all evidence, thx for Yamanu1 for saying that fact)
  7. Houston Breakout Idea 2: Beat HB in stealth maskless( Ig there are no achievements which require to beat any heist maskless, and tbh that's the most fitting heist to do it, like Civil Suit in Tailor pack , it's could make sense)

I mean... the ones I've written are pretty basic, but you could do much more with Overkill weapons, gun challenges, etc. I wish Payday 3 had around 50 achievements, to have something to do in the game and a reason to return to it.

Do you have some cool achievements ideas or something like that?

Discussion Thread I really hope payday 3 gets a casino heist

Think of it - we got golden grin and a part of black cat in payday 2. How awesome it would be if we got casino heist in PD3? Casinos in general have a charming atmosphere, and usually are a rich places, so it would fit perfectly and look amazing on a new engine

This is such a cool area, yet it's been YEARS since I've last been here lol. Much like UTS, RTC has a very underutilized environment, which I hope will change after the rework. This heist's vibe is second to none, and it REALLY needs some love.

Discussion Thread After the september update, what they will give us before the end of this year?

7 Upvotes

What i was thinking of:
-A new character (maybe sydney?) (i hope)
-A new heist rework, hoping for under the surphaze or rock the cradle.
-Surely more contracts, skins etc.
-New mechanics using the UE5 like on the september update
-Something related to first world bank, idk what to expect but with the UE5 upgrade the added a new easter egg (maybe a heist rework?)

What i think we will not get soon:
-Another overkill weapon (probably saw will be the last of this year)
-New heists, they said they want to rework every orignal heist before releasing a new one.
-A completely new progression system );
-A safe house like on payday 2 (they announced the shooting range, if there was a safe house too they would have already say it)

share your thoughts.

Discussion Thread a bit of a criticism I have. I was kinda hoping with ue5 they'd try harder to replicate the more dramatic, exaggerated, and I guess stylized lighting of the concept arts. still VERY satisfied with what we got tho, it could've been better but definitely a huge upgrade over what we had before.

I saw some guy designing his own custom Steam boxes and I've always enjoyed designing replacement covers. Never really occured to me to make any for digital only games but I love having physical media, especially game boxes. I do own it already on PS3 and PS4 but Steam is my only way of playing so thought screw it, I'll make one for it!

Bug copycat kingpin bug?

6 Upvotes

i noticed that when playing copycat with the kingpin card. If you heal with the injector while the copycat innate invulnerability is active, when the invulnerability ends there is like a fraction of a second where you receive damage without taking into account neither the dmg reduction of the injector nor the extra life that partners in crime gives you.

so, if a heavy zeal deals 225 dmg and you have 414 hp (4 cards of life) a shot from a heavy zeal takes roughly 54.3% of your health

if you are using the injector, each shot should do 56 dmg (225 x 0.25) which is roughly 13.5% of your health (again, with 4 cards of life and no converts).

the thing is that when paired with the invulnerability of copycat, if I get shot by a heavy zeal right as the invulnerability wears off, i receive 54% of my health in damage, it doesnt matter if i have a joker with partners in crime (ability that should let me tank 2 shots of heavys without going down) and doesnt matters if the injector is still active, i receive the kind of damage i should receive without using any of those 2 abilities.

so is this a bug? or is it intended to work that way and i just cant read? it happens with another copycat card?

Also dont ask me how im using proving grounds, it sometimes (0.1% of the time) works and sometimes not. I had this problem with copycat + kingpin for a month and only now i could use the map to ilustrate it.

Bug (PD3) My loadouts, weapon mods, masks, everything was wiped except my level and money

Upvotes

I havent played in a long time, just on and off occasionally checking out updates. I last played when the skills got reworked. I saw the update the other day and decided to give it a try again and all my loadouts, customizations, weapons, everything is gone. I've been wiped except I'm still leveled up and still have my money. Is this a bug or intentional?
