2.1.2 - Party Powder Heist / Armor 2.0 / Overkill Delivery Drone: LIVE

[Ћ Abomination Jones]

Woah, today's the day. The 26th. If you've been under a rock for a while, that's okay. That's what these threads are for! Straight to it, here we go.

Update means a special webpage, which you can find HERE[t.paydaythegame.com], once again these threads are just mostly repeating the webpage content.

The Party Powder heist

We're no strangers to messing with the cops, from robbing banks to producing drugs to the occasional hostage or herding goats right in front of them. Party Powder is no different, even if these cops aren't on the level. The Palatucci crime family is making moves, and Shayu isn't all too pleased with this phony drug bust, that's where the gang gets involved. Brooklyn rhymes with crook(lyn) after all.
Go in quiet or go in loud, you decide. Fancy making your own product? Go ahead.

If you didn't catch the interview with Emil Andersson about the level's design, there's your URL to check it out.
You can pick it up on Steam HERE[t.paydaythegame.com]
Please check the webpage at the top for other storefronts.

Armor 2.0

A long time coming, this one. Customise your armor for a manner of different playstyles and functions. This is something you may have read about on this blog post[www.paydaythegame.com] and as such will be a condensed form of that.

There's four armor 'frames' with their own traits, and from there you customise them with plates!
Medtech Frame - The lightest of the four. With no speed penalty and the most consumeable slots, great for going fast. 1 plate.
Specialist Frame - For the medium armor lover. 2 plates.
Saboteur Frame - A little heavier still, but not the heaviest. 3 plates.
Mercenary Frame - The big armor, the heaviest of the four. 4 plates.

Once you've got your frame picked, you fill it out with plates, each with advantages and disadvantages-- what will you use? Keep in mind, the effects do stack. What kind of plates are there? Go check it out in-game! There's three types, one of which is more akin to the 'fully regens eventually' PAYDAY 2 style!

Armor frames are locked behind Infamy Levels, but plates aren't. Any and all future plates will also be fully accessible regardless of your Infamy Level. Modding your frames will not cost any in-game cash, but purchasing frames and armor inventory slots will.

Check it out in-game! Go look! Something that was on the table is now off it because it got finished, I think!

The OVERKILL Delivery Drone

Tired of calling in the big gun and it gets dropped behind a small army? Don't want to run up to the roof to grab a minigun, potentially compromising your position or opening you up to snipers? Nothing like calling in a grenade launcher and it gets dropped down the road, right? Fret no more. As a bonus, one you may or may not have heard about, the techies aren't the only ones with drones anymore... even if ours is more for delivery of the weapon and not delivery of annoying.

Now, when you call in the toys, a helpful drone will emerge and bring it right to you as best it can. Isn't technology amazing? What was basically a cool idea from Reddit turned into a passion project by one of the team into a new feature. What next? Who knows! This was a spur of the moment challenge taken on, now those big ol' blasters won't be so difficult to fetch.

Twitch Drops

Once again, new Twitch drops. Catch a streamer or host a stream yourself for your audience to get drops! Check stuff out about that HERE[t.paydaythegame.com]

Oh, one more thing...

The fan favorite, the ragdoll launcher of PAYDAY 2, the pocket rocket launcher (its more a shotgun), returns for 3! Now named the Justicar, for reasons. I dunno the reasons. But look, free new gun for everybody!
