Is this game still alive?

Is this game still alive?

And is there any point in playing if I'm not a gimped out Lv50 max infamy hacker?

I just want some MP coop to get me through the quarantine

PC it is.
Realistically though you're better off playing with bots. Most players are bad

No it's a dead game

There’s always lobbies and they recently released some new DLC maps as well. It’s alive and kicking.

Can I still be useful without the whole max. infamy thing?

I played it for a few hours at release with some friends and never touched it until a few weeks back and got back into it for VR and it's been a fucking blast tbqh famalam

Change bots with turrets and you right.

Yes.
So here's how the infamy works: you have five skil trees, when you get to level 100 and go infamy, you can pick one to lower the requirements of. So you don't need as many points to get to the top tier.
It's almost mandatory in the hardest difficulties, the hardest one just plays like a different game.
You can be just fine once you get to around level 15 or so and get some basic skills like moving faster, etc.

It's changed a lot so you can be helpful on anything at Overkill difficulty and below at around level 30, below overkill you can jump right the fuck in desu.

Turrets still taking up like 90% of your ammo to refill?

I think that's more dependant on your build and what difficulty you're playing on. On Overkill and below, you can get away with a lot. On Deathwish (and maybe Mayhem) you should probably have a maxed perk deck and a decent number of levels if you're going loud.

Only the first 5 infamy levels have any effect on your builds (the skillpoint cost to unlock tier 4 skills is reduced slightly), the rest are just more xp gains and mask stuff.

I don't think turrents can revive you (and eachother) and give you a variety of buffs for just having them around

Its a singleplayer game.

>Only the first 5 infamy levels have any effect on your builds

Oh that's good to know

Perk deck is more useful, desu outside of a few skills.
Even then 10 levels can get you a lot: faster movement with bags, throwing bags further, faster run speed and decreased effect when flashbang is enough to get you playing just fine which would take 2-3 games at very hard to reach

>it's another edition of two cloakers spawn together

Imagine playing anything below Death Wish

Well it's not like perk decks and skills/classes are mutually exclusive. Also, I wouldn't say transporter aced is a must-have skill.

It's comfy af. Just get some friends to play with you, first timing heists with buddies and figuring out various strategies is top tier.

Who else bought the COP and regretted it back in the era of decline?

best heist because i unironically enjoy seeing people fuck up more than i do legitimately playing the game

Depending on things, it's incredibly useful. Maybe not the speed boost but the throw distance lets you speed things up a lot, like tossing things up stairs easily.

Perk decks are more useful overall outside of Death Wish. Unless you're running an LMG/Shotgun build then you only need a handful of skills to "optimize" a build for OVK and below

realisticly you only need to be Infamy 5 for initial bonuses for skills costing less points
any infamy after that is just for dickwaving points or if there is a specific Infamy Mask you really, really want.

also on another Note, Who else here finds VR Payday 2 fun as fuck, while sure the controls of how you use shit needs work, but otherwise the mindless shooting is a million times better than most VR Shooting Gallery games

Techfug with the izhma is the best spec

Does /pdg/ still exist?

Holy fuck, never heard of this. Tnx.
PD2 and VT2 are like my favourite games ever, and WWZ is pretty decent entertainment right now.

infamy means nothing

Its fun to play stealth missions.
lvls mean nothing
everyone is trash and will fuck up everything
casual ass big bank completely shuts down 95% of the community
play with friends

you can do most things with lower levels
some levels need the higher 70s or so when you can carry multiple items for stealth in order to make things easier but you can still do them
dont be a pussy and go fast
being a hesistant pussy will get you caught more often then not
use the spotting lasers

loud missions around deathwish become almost impossible to do without higher levels

what I mean is that you don't need much of an optimized build for skills in OVK or below, perk decks are more useful.

Take dodge, you can get by with just rogue and maybe a few pistol skills.
Shotguns would be the exception.
Things like berserker, ICTV builds, jokers, inspire, etc, are all highly needed on DW or DS but not so much on OVK. A level 20 build + perk deck is more than good enough for OVK and below.

Only the stelf maps

game is still alive and pretty newbie friendly if you stick to mayhem and lower

if you do try your luck at DS/OD the game will force you to minmax/meta whore
most of the weapon/perk decks are just not viable unless you know what you are doing

otherwise you can make anything work bellow mayhem so as long as you stick to that you can have fun with friends/pubs and try out an infinite amount of shit

Any recommended tracks? I've only played the game a little and I mostly just listen to Break The Rules.

>throws grenade

Thank fuck they toned down the HP values on Death Sentence so that isn't nearly as required anymore.

One of my favorite things to do even after the DMR pickup nerf is play with the Little Friend and use the headshot reload perk in the Sharpshooter tree. You can get a headshot with the DMR, and as long as it was in single fire, swap to the underbarrel and basically get 3 shots that can fire as fast, if not faster than a Piglet even with the reload between them, and the thing picks up grenades like candy.

Dang? Haven't played in a few years, never heard of this. So DMR isn't mandatory any more?

It's not only not mandatory, it's probably not that great anymore

I used to play this game quite a bit, but my harddrive died and I lost all my progress.
Can I use a save editor to get everything back? I looked and the save editors I saw haven't been updated in years.

It's a fun solo game or with friends. Playing with randos is meh.

Yeah they share the same HP as Deathwish units now, but they still have their extremely high damage, so you can use a lot more weapons now much easier. Back then I just ran Crit Clarion instead of DMRs although DMRs were significantly easier to reach those stupidly high breakpoints for sure.

>solo
Are the ai on your team not braindead?

The Little Friend is like the only one worth using anymore, but that's because it's pretty much a Grenade Launcher with a DMR attached to it.

They are still kind of dumb but they added in customization and AI specific bonuses so that they're not as worthless as before, and actually help you out a lot in Solo because of it.

>crew chief
oh no

They also have a whole bunch of HP now, and they can carry around bags

They won't do shit to to advance objectives, but they're ok extra guns and will help you up.

stopped playing a few months after the white house stuff happened and the game actually ended, is san marco or w/e the 2 new ones worth getting?

They're probably worth the 2 bucks are whatever they are on a steam sale
