Okay, for people new to Payday 2 or returning vets, if you want to play with bots on your team, either solo or with some friends, there's some mods that make it actually enjoyable. I'm also gonna list some quality of life mods because why not. You'll need something called the BLT Hook, which is the way all the mods get into the game code to work. You can download it [URL="https://paydaymods.com/download/"][B]here[/B][/URL], with the instructions provided in the link. Once you've got that set up, launch the game once, update the hook if neeeded, then you can easily install mods by plopping the folder of the mod into C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/PAYDAY 2/Mods or wherever you installed Payday 2. All the mod's options are usually located ingame in Options > Mod Options > Name of Mod, but some mods require you to open them up in a text editor like Notepad++ and edit stuff there.

[B][U]BOT IMPROVEMENT MODS[/U][/B]
[B][URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=12736"]Better Bots[/URL][/B]
Makes the bots actually useful. You get a third bot if going solo, they get some of your skills, they don't stop if they're reviving you, they'll kill snipers, prioritize cloakers, avoid SWAT turrets as best they can and not flinch when hit by them, not shoot at shields unless they can actually hit their back, they can use extra pathing the cops use (although this sometiems causes problems, you can disable it mid game if they get stuck like on day one of Hoxton Breakout sometimes), it's really necessary.
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/102/KPR"][B]Keepers[/B][/URL]
This mod lets you tell bots to hold their position. Combined with GoonMod (below) which adds the ability to place waypoints, you can tell a bot to move to a particular position and hold it. Also works with Jokered cops, and you can even give your cop a name via a text file in the mod.
[URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=16530"][B]Ask Bot to Carry the Bag[/B][/URL]
Finally, the impossible is achieved. Bots will carry bags for you if you throw a bag at them, and there are keybinds to make bots go to and pick up nearby bags. Still in beta, expect some bugs.
[URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=13463"][B]Bot Bullet Collision Fixer[/B][/URL]
This lets you shoot through your AI team mates, like you can with actual players. No more bot walking in front of your scope and blocking that shot at a sniper.
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/16/goonmod"][B]GoonMod[/B][/URL]
Necessary for its waypoint functionality, it offers a ton of extra stuff that's optional. Gooncoins allow you to buy weapon mods, mask parts, etc. and you get a coin everytime you complete a set of Gage Courier Packages you find in heists. I think you might need the DLC for Gage Packages, but it's a good DLC and it's on sale anyways. It allows you to customize the look of your weapons just like with masks, although other players can't see your customizations. Normalized Iron Sights, makes aiming with iron sights or scopes more similar in terms of mouse sensitivity to just regular looking around. Gadget persistence, remembering if your laser sight is on or flashlight etc when you swap weapons mid game. Also other stuff.
[B][URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=12852"]Bot Weapons[/URL][/B]
Lets you give the bots certain weapons that work just like if they were in your hands. Give your particular heister bot a shotgun, rifle, smg, pistol etc. and have it do good damage and range. Only allows for certain weapons due to the NPCs only being able to use certain ones.

[B][U]Optional Quality-of-life mods that make things less tedious/more enjoyable:[/U][/B]
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/138/MWS"][B]More Weapon Stats[/B][/URL]
See accurate stats for your weapons that are normally hidden from the player, like reload speed, ammo pickup rate, recoil, et
[URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=13434"][B]Bag Contour[/B][/URL]
Makes the outline of bags a different color depending on weight, and hides outlines of bodybags if a heist goes loud (except bodybags on Boiling Point since they're important)
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/223/ICAPS"][B]Inventory Chat & Player States[/B][/URL]
Not needed for solo players. Allows you to see what other people in your lobby are doing while you're in a menu and also see the chat. That way you can tell if everybody's ready while you're customizing a mask or what people have said in chat while you're preplanning.
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/42/ENH_HMRK"][B]Enhanced Hitmarkers[/B][/URL]
Allows you to change the color and shape of the marker that occurs when you hit an enemy, and allows you to have different colors/shapes if you get a headshot, crit, or killing blow.
[URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=13517"][B]Civilian Marking in Stealth[/B][/URL]
Lets you spot civvies just like you can spot guards. That way you can tell where a civvie is going so you don't turn a corner and run into a civ. Also lets cameras spot them.
[URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=14593"][B]Block Bots Per Heist[/B][/URL]
(Don't like seeing Jiro, Bonnie, and Jacket on First World Bank? Hoxton in Big Bank? This lets you block bots for any particular day of any particular heist. Requires you to edit in a text file rather than in game though, and you might need to look up Heister's internal names for them tow work. Off the top of my head the ones not in there are Rust (wild), Jiro (dragon) and Sydney, Jimmy, Bodhi (their names but lowercase))
[URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=13642"][B]Please, Go There[/B][/URL]
Like the Keepers mod, but with civvies. Tell a civilian to walk by himself to a particular spot and lay down, so you don't have to herd them. They still occasionally drop on the ground though mid way if you go too far away.
[B][URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=13781"]Hostage Escort Tweaks[/URL][/B]
Lets you have three following hostages at once, they walk faster, fall down less frequently, and stay closer to you. Could be considered a bit cheaty but with Payday the line between cheat and mod is so blurred that unless you unlock skins, masks, or fuck with other players enjoyment of the game everything's fair play.
[B][URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=13590"]Cloaker Camera Control Tweak[/URL][/B]
When you're about to get kicked by a cloaker, your view no longer gets turned towards him. This allows you to actually hit cops before you go down, or headshot a cloaker if there's a height difference because otherwise you'd just hit him in the legs (which don't have a hitbox) or miss regardless of how you aimed.
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/191/TMBGUI"][B]Translucent Mission Briefing GUI[/B][/URL]
Not needed for solo players. If you join a game in progress, when the game loads you can actually see the game being played by the players in game while you ready up, change equipment, etc. That way you know if the heist is still in stealth, where you'll be when you ready up, if everything's FUBAR already, or if the team needs a particular setup.
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/60/SDJBL"][B]Side Jobs in Lobby[/B][/URL]
Lets you access side jobs while in a lobby. You no longer have to drop out of a lobby to access them.
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/218/bmarketweapcustrevert"][B]Black Market Weapon Customization Revert[/B][/URL] (While the new background showing off an armory (introduced in Update 79) while you customize weapons is nice, it adds a tiny bit of load time when you switch to your weapons, and it gets annoying if you use GoonMod to customize weapons because it jarringly swaps back to the old interface. This way you get the old interface and less loading lag. Not everyone's cup of tea but I prefer it)
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/215/straighttomainmenu"][B]Straight to Main Menu[/B][/URL]
Skips the intro videos and "press enter" screen and goes straight to the main menu when you boot the game up.
[B][URL="https://steamcommunity.com/groups/pocomods"]PocoHud[/URL][/B]
Multipurpose mod compatible with other hud mods. Timers for drills, info on sentries, enemy health, better desync resolve so teammates are in the spot they are on their screen, buff indicators (some are broken due to the latest skills update), shuffle music during heists, and a lot of other stuff.
[URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/175/jackhud"][B]Jackhud[/B][/URL] or [URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/44/arm_mui"][B]MUI[/B][/URL] or [URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=15901"][B]WolfHud[/B][/URL] or [URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=682"][B]Payday:The Heist HUD[/B][/URL] or [URL="http://forums.lastbullet.net/mydownloads.php?action=view_down&did=12501"][B]HoloHud[/B][/URL]
All different HUD mods that change the way the HUD looks, gives you more info, etc. You'll have to check which one you like best, I like JackHUD because it's basically a better HoxHUD (other than anti-cheat it has all of HoxHUD's features including the assault indicator) without the bugs and with more features, as well as it uses the real BLT hook rather than HoxHud's hacky version of it which fucks with other mods. MUI is a very minimalistic, customizable HUD that gives you a lot more screen space. WolfHud is an updated version of GageHud, it gives you a lot of info but the main thing is that you can see which guns you and your team are using. Payday: The Heist HUD makes the whole game look like the original Payday including things like med packs and object outlines, and some people prefer that. HoloHud is a very sleek HUD that offers similar features to other huds, but is very customizable.

There's tons of other awesome mods out there, and one of the reasons I love Payday is because it's so mod friendly. One that might seem kinda cheaty is [URL="http://paydaymods.com/mods/157/BCCFS"][B]Bain Can't Cook For Shit[/B][/URL] [B](BCCFS)[/B]. I believe this is the best "meth cooking helper" out there. It puts a green waypoint on the correct ingredient to put in which other mods don't, and allows you to make the chat only show for you. It was really useful before the Bain cooking meth speech changes, where nowadays all you have to do is listen to him say the ingredient twice and the second time will always be correct, but it helps if you're not paying good attention or you don't have subtitles on.

Hope this is helpful for any new/returning players.

I still think that new players should first play the game and learn the basics and ins and outs of the system
Else most of those mods will just confuse new players

I remember i played it on Singapore Server where i got something similar like this [IMG]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/cso/images/4/49/Skull8.png/revision/latest?cb=20130625211005&format=webp[/IMG]

[NaRyan]

Well I got the Biker safe drop on one of my other accounts now.
However I am not too sure what it was that triggered the drop.
As at the time of the drop I had hit 10 hours playtime (last 2 weeks), 100 Hours Total playtime and it was the 1st Heist after going Infamous III.

Doubt it was the Infamous level, So it was either the 10\100 hours that met the drop conditions.

[Akiba]

I started playing again with a friend recently and I'm having this issue with the textures taking like 5 minutes to load, and sometimes the geometry for the level as well, anyone have any idea what's causing this? I'm running everything maxed capped at 60 since it doesn't go up to 144.

I assume it's something to do with texture streaming but I see no options for that anywhere so I'm pretty confused.

[PaperMartin]

I'm pretty sure having a bunch of override mods increase loading time.

[Akiba]

Only mod I'm running is pocohud, and I had the issue before that too. The problem is that the textures stay at the lowest resolution for way too long, it's like texture streaming somehow got fucked.

[Dick Slamfist]

Fuck yes. Selling skins and trading cards and I got Sydney for free. Thanks Steam sale. Next up I need the Wolf Pack and Point Break, so maybe I'll actually stop being so cheap

[editline]25th June 2016[/editline]

yoooo holy shit the bootlegger is dope

[Sgt. Napalm]

I'm having problems with rebinding keys in Payday 2.

See, I play on ESDF. And the way Payday 2 is set up, I can't bind a key to anything that's already bound to a key. So for example, pretend that my foot controls are ESDF for forward, left, backward, and right, respectively. I go to the vehicle controls, but it won't let me change from the WASD default to ESDF, because those controls are already set to my foot movement controls.

I made the mistake of setting everything to default, and now I can't even move my WASD keys back to ESDF because those keys are also being used by the vehicle controls. This is leaving me totally unable to customize the controls and go back.

Any way I can edit these manually, maybe edit a config file somewhere?

I like playing with new players. I enjoy teaching people the game, just as my friends and so many others taught the game to me.

It's gonna sound silly but I'm kinda glad that there were no tutorials. I had to learn everything through word of mouth and gameplay experience. It's given me some good friendships and made me more appreciative of the game.

Meanwhile, I solo stealthed Train Heist for the first time. One hour and fifteen minutes, and a few heart attacks, later, I finally nailed it. The hardest part by far is getting the train doors open. After that it's just a matter of patience.

You know thinking about it, it's actually kinda weird that there isn't a hispanic heister. We've got 6 white Americans, a black American, a Brit, a Swede, a Croatian, a Russian, an Irishwoman, a Scot, a Japanese man, a South African (or whatever the hell Jimmy is) and an Aussie, but none of the people that make up 16% of the US population.
