How to install custom weapons?

[ Hayden ]

Title says it all. I've already gotten BLT 2.0, although I'm not sure if I need to reinstall BeardLib to make it work with LuaJIT.

To make sure everything works perfectly
Make sure BLT is updated to the latest version, that is BLT 2.2 (the latest release version of the github is 2.2)
Then download BeardLib from MWS (it'll always be the latest version), then just drop it to the mods folder (copy-paste replace if you already have one in them)

Then you put the custom weapons folder in the 'mod_overrides' folder that's located inside the assets folder in payday 2 dir

Would it be the same thing for stand alone custom weapons?

that’s what he’s referring to

Can I do public heists with a custom weapon? Everytime someone tries to join mine or when I try joining someone else, we disconnect

There should be no issue playing with people who don't have the same (or any) custom weapons installed, it'll just appear as a vanilla weapon to them in team loadout (as far as I know).

And btw there is no relation between BeardLib and getting things to work with LuaJit. This is also the first time I ever hear someone say things like that, lol.
BeardLib is simply required to have custom weapons (and other things) that don't replace existing items.

It must be a problem I'm having then. I'm using the Kross Kard machine pistol, the number one pencil melee, and the taser frag throwable, and I disconnect when trying to join a heist while these are equipped

i dont know how it does it but custom throwables aren't something the game can handle syncing to clients so that would be my only guess at this point
