Entering the Henchmen beta and backing up your saves

[STARBREEZE_Sebastian]

Backing up your save

There's already a well made guide on this subject by one of our community members:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=170416480&searchtext=backup

If you plan on entering the beta, please backup your save, there's always the chance your save gets corrupted and you lose all your progress! While this hasn't happened in our internal testing so far, making a backup only takes a little time and can save you hours in the long run.

Opting in to the Beta

Find PAYDAY 2 in your steam library and right-click - select Properties.
In the Properties window - select the tab called "BETAS".
In the drop down menu in the BETAS tab - select "open_beta" and close the window.

Your PAYDAY will now patch itself to the beta version.

Feedback

We of course want your feedback on how the Henchmen feel and how you feel they're balanced..
We've created a specific subforum just for this purpose, this subforum will be removed shortly after the beta is over, do bare that in mind if there's anything you wish to keep.

Please take care to write as clearly as possible and to separate between bugs and feedback to make it easier for us to go through.

Will there be stealth based perks for the AI? Things like more body bags, slower detection, etc

THIS IS THE BEST UPDATE EVER! I WILL GLADLY RISK LOSING MY SAVES TO TEST THIS OUT. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'VE WANTED THIS KIND OF THING SINCE 2014! YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST! I AM SO EXCITED!

So... The Update appears to be out, but I see no Open Beta. Only the Tournament is still available. Do we just have to wait longer, or is this Beta somehow special?

[Rusty Shackleford]

Can you please add the ability to choose what type(s) of armour that the bots will wear during heists?

[Mr House]

Shove it in the original game already, you make some great work, but of course there'll be always some people who will complain about it. well guess what, we don't careeeee.

[Jej]

I'll wait 'till the feature gets to the public build.

there for me

[Malidictus]

Yup, up for me as well. It popped up just now. Looks like we had to wait for a while, is all. I'm not complaining - I'd rather get the patch notes before the patch than the other way around.

[Copy & Cat]

Well will this beta save progress and allow players to get safe drops and etc?

[Malidictus]

Probably? Previous ones have.
