Why do our masks have eye covers?

[naii.neocities.org]

Apparently between PDTH and PD2 we decided to put eye covers on our masks, despite our identites possibly already being revealed, even FedNet has names for some of the characters put up on there, so what's even the point anymore?
Also, we can also use things like glasses and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beard, so it now makes even less sense than already.

This is obviously a thread where we nitpick at dumb details within the game, because video games aren't fun.

With wolf eyes popping out, he look less threatening compare to a soulless mask

I always thought the eyes being visible made the masks a little more freaky

Or was it the fact that the clown masks used to look ugly?

I like to believe it's because the new eye covers are to shield their eyes from shrapnel, sparks, or other debris. Or maybe, on the more high tech side, they're lenses that show important information to the heister.
But probably more realistically it's because of the amount of heisters and the amount of masks. Most eye-holes just wouldn't match up to the eyes of every heister. However, if I'm not mistaken, there's a mod that changes the base masks to have eye holes like they used to, or something similar.

Actually, I'm using that right now

I'm making an effort to make the game into PDTH, I was really close but the enemy mod I had crashed the game alot and PDTH hud is "meh"

From what I seen in Payday The Heist look homemade whereas the new masks in PD2 look more scary just black holes where the normal eyes should be is just more cool also giving the masks a more professional look. They do the same thing in comics with totally white eyes.

It's not a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ normal beard. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Almir's Beard.
