PAYDAY 2: Crimewave Edition - The Master Plan update is live!

[almir_gaming]

Heisters! For Every Daring Heist, There Is a Master Plan. We just launched a new update today for Xbox One! The update will be available on PlayStation 4 on November 24th in EU and November 28th in US.

With today's release, I would like to take an opportunity and summarize some frequently asked questions surrounding the Master Plan update that we have been receiving. We love getting new updates out, especially so on consoles because we know you want to play it as soon as possible.

While each platform will always offer different challenges, our goal always remains the same: to add as much content as we can with each update. There are a few items we didn't include in this update however that we would like to expand on below.

Regarding voice chat for PS4

The Voice Chat for PS4 has been a hot topic and something we want to add. However, we have been unable to add it as part of this update. We haven't given up on it and will continue to do our best to add this much requested feature.

Regarding the new safe house

As the new safe house has grown into a home for our many heisters, so has also the challenges of maintaining it from a technical perspective on all our platforms. The newest version of the safe house is very content heavy and we were unable to add it for this update because of the technical challenges tied to it. We hope to be able to bring the safe house to consoles in an future update as we continue to work on more content.

Regarding the Crimespree feature

The viability of Crimespree for console is similarly something we need to further investigate in order to implement.

We hope you enjoy the new content! Try double weilding as Sangres or say hello as Scarface in the new heists and content added, available on Xbox One today, PlayStation in EU on November 24th and US November 28th. Keep those helmets flying!

Is the WW2 pack in the game?

[Mogyle]

What a joke ! The 2 most wanted features are not in the update ! No Crime Spree, No New Safehouse... I really hope you made some major changes ingame like Crime.net filters, sidejobs or safes or else it would realy like a cashgrab update ditching what player really wants.
The update is a big let down, and now I only hope Humble Masks are back and I can at last rename my gear...

[Mogyle]

And is it too much to ask for a changelog ?

[Elitepro77]

will we still be recieving more of the free content available on PC in future updates? mostly heists such as panic room, diamond heist, and heatstreet?

Panic Room and Heat Street should be in the update, but a chanelog would clear that point !
The Diamond is way too recent to be ingame.

I'm sure by now you are tired of hearing of it but I see no mention of an FOV slider I'm just guessing at this point you have no future plans to add it I would love to play on the console more with my friends but the fov ruins it for me I can only play for an hour or so before I felt like crap

[Danilablond]

Can we have, like, language change option? I mean, those 20+ human beings in the credits gotta be for something.

Is it too much to ask for a list of what's coming in the update

[3thann]

I really just want to know if Duke will be coming to console soon

Looks like you cared only about content, and not features... No filters, no sidejobs, no skins, no renaming gear... We already got no safehouse, no crime spree and no henchmen, so why didn't you called it "The Master No!". It took more than 5 monthes and nobody said nothing about this !
Didin't bought "Most Wanted", and I won't buy "Master Plan".

And to be clear, this isn't against Goris, or the console team, but the higher ups that are in charge of the console department.

Thanks for the feedback Mogyle and everyone else.

There are some things that did not make it into this update, such as the features you describe, and also some things that have gone into the PC version since Sangres. As we have said, we keep working on consoles, so hopefully we will get some positive feedback from you next time ;)

Also, we are glad that people who cannot buy the bundle are still having fun with all the free content that we provide with each update! Finally, we included some fixes that are hard for players to see, such as desync improvement and the patch size reduction.

Heisters, please let us know 1)which parts you love from this update, and 2)what you would like to see coming next! Now with the new characters in, 3)who is your favourite heister?

See you in Crimenet!

1) Free heists, because for now I can't say if desync is fixed. As a PD:TH player, 3 Classic heists is a good opportunity to play them again with my crew.

2) New Safehouse. Because it's post game, and we need some ! For people like us, regular posters, we finished the core game a while ago, and we need new objectives. That's why we asked more trophies, and why we want the New Safehouse.
Crime Spree is second on the list for the same reasons, adding the fact that masks and mods are 100% random, and having the CS would render the process less tedious.

And I won't mind an update without "real" content but just polishing the game. We have a lot of weapons slots, and 15 build slots, but no way of renaming them ! And crime.net filters for f*ck sake ! The actual system is a mess with all the heists (60) and difficulties (7), it's a total of 420 possibilities !!! And don't start me on Stealth/Loud filters...
Personally, I don't give a damn about FOV slider, but it's a heavy requested feature amongst community, and should be implemented

And please, find a way to give us safes ! At leas the free ones! You should put them ingame even if it works differently than on PC, because there will be no money tied to it, it's just more content for player to unlock.

3) Wolf (hoping to get his Lycanwulf mask back!)



And because it has to be done :
