[QUOTE]Spring Break starts at 17:00 CEST on April 3rd and continues up until April 12th. So get the blueprints out, scout the area, polish your guns and make sure you are ready.
Spring Break is a 10 day event filled with content, competitions and some special surprises we got in store for you. During the whole event we will have a 75% sale on the base game and all DLC:s. We will also activate Free-to-Play on the base game during the event so that we can extend the gang!
As always, we have a few new features coming out during the event. This means that we need your opinions! If we notice that you don’t like a new feature we’ve released, we will pull it, iterate on it together with the community and review all feedback. Then we’ll work on it until we get it just right.
You guys made PAYDAY 2 what it is today, so let’s have an awesome Spring Break together!
Be prepared, Spring Break is coming.

did overkill change the unit ID for headless titandozers recently? ene_bulldozer_4 is according to the game "not a valid unit" and crashes.
in short, crime spree is an arcade-y endurance test to ease the grind of continental coins with the new system rolling out
or at least provide an alternative to standard play or safehouse grinds
Can't wait for the last day being a ladder animation update :v:

[editline]29th March 2017[/editline]
oh there was a stream today
Sorry for the long post, but here's a recap of the stream:
[quote]-You are required to be level 60 to access the Crime Spree feature.
-It will cost you Continental Coins to start a Crime Spree.
-The heists that are presented for the Crime Spree are randomized. They are not actually contracts, because it can select a single day from a multi-day heist. For example, Day 2 of the Biker Heists was one of the options.
-The 'stopwatch' icon symbolizes the duration of the heist. There's a short 5 minute heist, a medium duration heist, and a longer heist that goes above 12 minutes.
-The Ghost icon means that it's stealthable, evidently. There's a minimum of 1 heist selected that can be stealthed.
-It cannot select heists that the host doesn't have access to.
-You can select 'modifiers' to apply to the heist. 3 are chosen randomly, and you select 1 of them.
-These aren't the same exact thing as mutators, because mutators are a bit more "wild". Modifiers are supposed to make the game more interesting and difficult.
-There are loud modifiers and stealth modifiers.
-You must select additional modifiers as the level increases. The value doesn't appear to be consistent, though they initially said every 50 levels.
-The same modifier can stack multiple times if it appears again. This is additive, not multiplicative.
-Achievements are not disabled, but it's not recommended because it will be much harder.
-They can add more modifiers once they've gotten enough interest in the feature.
-Again, modifiers will not be as ridiculous as mutators. You select so many of them, so they're toned down.
-Once you have selected all the modifiers needed, you can use Continental Coins to reroll the heists you have been given. Rerolling will increase the price, from 6 > 12 > 18 > etc.
-The Stealth symbol doesn't mean that you have to do the heist in stealth.
-Overkill is the base difficulty for Crime Spree. Modifiers are applied to this to make it harder.
-There is no release date as of right now.
-The more heists that are added to the game, the more options that will be available for Crime Spree.
-Gage Perks are available to purchase for Continental Coins. Perks like Adrenaline Shot, Endless Resources, Explosion Immunity, Fast Feet, Grim Reaper, Extra Life, Experimental Plating, and Bottomless Pockets are shown, all costing 18 coins.
-Bottomless Pockets causes all players to receive 70% extra throwable weapons.
-You cannot buy all the Perks, only one Perk per player can be purchased.
-The values shown on stream are placeholders.
-You do not have to go back to the menu to select a heist, you can select another heist once you've finished the current one.
-The amount of levels you gain depends on how long the heist is.
-Tips on the loading screen are back.
-Failing a Crime Spree will normally end it and reset your Crime Spree level. If you wish to continue from the Crime Spree level that you failed at, you have to pay a high amount of Continental Coins.
-When you start a new Crime Spree, you'll be able to start at the highest level you achieved. For example, the developer reached level 430 when he failed, so he can start at level 430.
-This isn't the same as continuing because you won't have any of the rewards you accumulated.
-If you crash, it counts as failing the Crime Spree. You can still continue it if you want to pay the price.
-Failing a Crime Spree still allows you to claim your accumulated rewards.
-There will always be 4 different starting levels for a Crime Spree. The first 3 are currently placeholder values, then the last is the highest level you reached.
-You can pause the Crime Spree and resume it at a later time, you aren't forced to go until you die. Quitting in the middle of one still counts as a failure.
-You don't have to adhere to the host's Crime Spree, you can start your own.
-Claiming your rewards will end the Crime Spree and reset the current level.
-Gage Perks are only for one heist, they do not persist.
-Everybody must pay the price to play a Crime Spree, not just the host.
-Firestarter Day 1 is not intended to be stealthed. They do not want to encourage it, so they won't add a stealth icon to it (even if they are impressed with those who do). Same thing with Mallcrasher.
-On Big Oil Day 1, there used to be a bug where shooting a ceiling lamp would call the police. A dev thought it was one of the funniest bugs he has ever seen.
-If the host doesn't have enough coins to continue, clients can't pay for him.
-Getting kicked will not end your Crime Spree, you'll stay at the current level.
-Gage Perks are for the entire team.
-You can join midway in a Crime Spree, like any other lobby.
-There is no maximum Crime Spree level. Modifiers will continue to stack until it becomes impossible.
-Crime Spree works similarly to Pro Jobs, but it's a more interesting take on it.
-There will be a few achievements tied to the feature to get people to try it out. It won't be things like "reach level 50" or "reach level 51".
-As stated earlier, they can't differentiate between crashing and closing the game during a Crime Spree. It counts as a failure, so their recommendation is not to play with mods (though you still can if you want).
-The Crime Spree "tickets" are a placeholder icon representing the level of the Crime Spree.
-You will only get rewards for the heists you participate in, if you join midway in. You will not copy the host's reward stack.
-There are unique rewards in Crime Spree. But they won't reveal them yet.
-The feature isn't very far away, it's close to being finished.[/quote]

Too bad colors are still limited and still can't select both colors separately.

you wont get that many that was just debug magic

Second time I saw an Infamy XXV that doesn't spent any ammo while firing. Dumb question but: is he cheating? he came with C4's and no one in the team had ammo bags at the time. "
I'm surprised that they haven't redone mask customization. It's buggy as shit and clunky still

He grinded to the point where he's shooting offshore money instead of bullets.
[sp]He's cheating.[/sp]
My main issue with mask creating is that they display the mask in the background rather than on the side, so you don't have to click preview all the time. Like, its straight up poor usability.
Also, I hope they don't get crapped on a lot this time, they're really trying to please the community with how the worded the spring break.

It is possible to activate and deactivate that type of cheat at will?

Yeah it's really easy, there's a trainer that lets you do all kinds of shit.

the stream.
I was hoping it'd give a boatload so thats a shame. How many levels is that? looks to be intervals of 30+50+80
so maybe like 16 heists if you go by the smallest?
Do we get the individual rewards as well as the final rewards I wonder?
I have a request/question
is there an accepted and efficient way to farm robbedacop that has been devised yet
alternatively if not, someone be cool and devise me a crit shotgun build to farm kills on the diamond with, thanks
I just figure I can dedicate an hour a day or so for a month or something and be done with it
[QUOTE=FalconHBFS;52029643]It is possible to activate and deactivate that type of cheat at will?[/QUOTE]
Search on google "Payday 2" and then two of the same letter that comes after "o"
Have fun

Yep. Between this and new Infamy, I'm definitely reinstalling.
Thanks for the replies, fellas! I want to host more games (due to a lack of variety and DLC in the crimeNET), and hackers/cheaters could ruin the fun and challenge of a playthrough.

Yes, but...you're not going to like the returns. Get a build with maximum sentries and extreme ammo pickup, run solo and get to the bridge escape on Prison Nightmare. Set up turrets all along the bridge and repeatedly replenish their ammo. ~2000 in an hour. Best I could find.
Can't wait to get an update/day again
Like can't they just release all the content at once like most peoples tell them to
I wonder if we will get a new difficulty...
[QUOTE=brenz;52032588]I wonder if we will get a new difficulty...[/QUOTE]
baby mode
I haven't played since January, and haven't played seriously since like December '16. Is there anything I need to know? Any huge meta shakeups? What's hot and not these days?

Nothing major has changed (yet, big changes seem to be on the horizon), all you missed was 2 Wicked heists and a cyka blyat weapon pack.
The contractor and bizon are worth mention I suppose
[QUOTE=PaperMartin;52031088]Can't wait to get an update/day again

They can't, because they're literally working on the content up until the last minute.
This was really evident with last year's Crimefest, with some examples being that mutators had placeholder icons in the files on Day 1 and Concussion Grenades were released very late in the day.
No clue why they don't just plan better and have the content ready beforehand.
