Honestly with the amount of themed DLC we're getting I'm expecting us to steal Simoleans in the next heist.
So crossbows...
as far as Overkill difficutly goes the Heavy crossbow can one-shot Cloakers even if you aim at it's torso without crits.
And that's saying a lot considering cloakers take a lot of hits even by shooting them in the head with a automatic gun on Overkill.
I'd like to point out that the last 3 consecutive weapon packs have all been anachronistic gimmicks. The Historical pack was charming because it was the only anachronistic one at the time. Now, the magic's worn off.
Issue is, if I wanted to play around with medieval crossbows, I'd play chivalry. Also Chivalry: MW is cheaper than the DLC itself at the moment :v:
Gage Sci-Fi pack.

Wait, he's not a paraplegic? Why doesn't he just build like... gun legs.
I don't actually care that the resources are ported from Chivalry. I'd probably rather it be that way for authenticity's sake. It's just a shitty, boring pack.

It feels like even Torn Banner didn't put a lot of effort in on their side either
The mask color doesn't even change with any color customizations
Lol, just bought the ranged weapons, even the mods are free.
This DLC is a colossal goatfuck.
So uh, this is this dlc a sale dlc or "don't even bother even if it's 75% off" dlc?
Cause it sure as shit doesn't look like a pay the full price dlc for me considering how gimmicky the whole pack is.
Melees are meh, the great sword has much better knockout but has a slow swing attack. Light crossbow is good, heavy crossbow is bad because it only has better damage and barely does a diffence when comes to killing. The bow is slower than the cowboy one. So yeah, wait for sale.

The weapons are shit and supporting this kind of bullshit isn't worth it at any price

From watching people play with the pack, 75% off at least. The weapons are flat-out terrible even after you disregard their gimmickiness and the fact that they were ported from another game.
[QUOTE=DS_;48653681]not sure if it was there before but there's a shitty medieval exhibition on the diamond heist now

Well to be fair the themes have been suggested for a long time. I think the only suggested theme left out that I've seen is the Space/Scifi weapons pack
Next pack better be pirate pack. People say something something pirates and guns, now you can have them.
[QUOTE=OriginalSpace;48654128]Next pack better be pirate pack. People say something something pirates and guns, now you can have them.[/QUOTE]
At this point, I don't want gimmicks.
I just want some normal fucking guns. Not something that I'll use once and throw back into the box to never look at again.

The mods are only ammo types. Ammo types were always free.

I LEFT MY FAVORITE CASSETTE IN THE ESCAPE CAR
I think gimmick packs would work great if they really actually had some effort put into them. Melee is a very boring and basic system that is about pressing or holding a button and releasing it, there is not really much else to it. Barely any gibbing, no blocking, no combos or different swings, its just a glorified melee butt with tons of crappy redundant weapons that all do the same thing but some are way better than others.
The bow and crossbows are clearly just very cheap and lazy reskins of the existing bow. They're alright and can't really be done any differently but, they just kind of exist and that is that, I don't feel these really sell me or anyone on this pack. As they are but a mere fraction of the content included.
The shield shouldn't have even been a part of it, what is the point of a shield if it is completely useless as one and just functions as another glorified crappy melee weapon.
I don't expect shield mechanics and better melee to come with this pack, but maybe thats why this pack should have never existed, or only existed after they added those new mechanics to make all of these things actually meaningful. I think it would be really cool if the game let me use a SWAT shield and the little buckler was one you could use, perhaps it would break easily but you could have a few spares (small size) and it would be quick to equip/unequip, maybe because of its small size it could actually melee as well. Now that would make it interesting.
None of it is very useful, none of it is very fun, none of it is very charming or endearing, and honestly feels like its a waste of time and effort. I'd also argue that I think gimmick packs would work great with small heists accompanying them. I think it would be cool as hell if the Medieval Exhibit was an actual mini heist we did and we were rewarded the items, and of course if the items were way more fun and useful.
So I can either buy a DLC with content ripped straight from a different game, or I can buy the game they ripped it from for the exact same price. HMMMMMMMM CHOICES, CHOICES.

[/QUOTE]
the paintings are still in the room, just not where they used to be
I knew this was going to go badly, but wow I did not expect anything could be this much of a disaster.
I can't believe I'm saying this but now I think I'd prefer if Payday 2 not get a Killing Floor 2 crosspromo, it would be absolutely amazing if done well but I just don't have faith in that anymore.
Idk kf has proven it does good work, unlike chivalry
Plus the games are actually similar in gameplay also unlike chivalry

Tell me they fixed them though? They're all baggable?
There's the hotfix.

No more free primaries.

But a Killing Floor 2 crossover will always have more potential with Payday than a Chivalry crossover. I mean for starters they at least both take place in the same time period. If that crossover ever happens maybe we will finally get some modern weaponry.
I'm going to be the odd one out and say i actually kinda like this dlc, both the of crossbows and the bow are nice with the right stats, exploding arrows/bolts just make it better.
The melee weapons are kinda "eh" except for the greatsword which is a "debatable upgrade" to the katana as it only swings slightly slower, has one less concealment, and can hurt dozer's unlike the katana.
Javelins are abit weird with the way they are thrown and their arc, but they one shot cloakers and most lighter enemies.
With the right build the greatsword is ace, and the helmet masks are nice too as they are full heads and not half masks. It may be paid money for a copy and paste, but i like it.

Pirates though
Maybe a SWAT pack to mix it up, they'd be normal guns
UMP, fiveseven, maybe a shield etc

I was hoping they would say "fuck it making it free"
Oh silly me thinking overkill would do that
As someone who LOVES the gunplay in Payday 2, seeing a dlc with no guns is just disappointing.
