Free to Play and Discounts

To make sure you all can enjoy the Locke & Load event to the fullest, PAYDAY 2 is free to play for the whole duration of the event. On top of that, the price of the PAYDAY 2 Ultimate Edition will be heavily discounted. Only stealing would be cheaper!

Tweaks to Normal Difficulty

We made a couple of changes to the Normal difficulty. The goal is to give a more even experience to new and low level players. The gap between high damage and low damage weapons for the enemies was too large. This created a set of enemies that would prove too challenging for first time players, while the other set of enemies would prove to be no threat.

The following changes were made:

  • Reduced the damage for enemy units that are using the following weapons:
    • Compact-5
    • M308
    • Jackal
    • Bronco
    • Mac10
  • Increased the damage for the enemy units that are using the following weapons:
    • Reinfield 880
    • M4
  • Reduced the damage of melee attacks for enemy units on Normal and Hard difficulty

Fo’ sho!
