The big bank heist and the gage shotgun pack and bbq pack.
3 of my fave dlc because the heist is just so awesome and a dragons breath shotgun is so powerful.

Sorry for not seeing this, this guide will help you for the Summer Sale.

There's many kinds of DLC: Heist, weapon, character, weapon mods, cosmetic. Gonna tell you for each kind which to absolutely buy and which to avoid as much as possible.

Weapon mods: The good: None to avoid, these are the best DLC by far. Courier pack is the best, thus the best DLC in the game (Don't believe me?, check old thread. This used to be the consensus). Great mods for little work. Spec Ops is close, takes more work to get the stuff but the Arbiter and fast mags are godly. AK/CAR has many of the best mods in the whole game, but those take a LOT of work to get. The only one which I would not recommend or advice against is the Cartel one, since it's meh.

Cosmetic: The bad: Only 1 DLC, Tailor pack. Next to useless. Avoid at all costs.

Heists: This one is only subjective and my opinion, heist enjoyment varies a lot between people.
The good: If you want the consensus, Big Bank and Hotline Miami used to be the most loved by far. My opinion is that both are among the best, but the rest of the dentist's heists (The Diamond, Golden Grin Casino) are just as good. But don't buy GGC if you have a potato PC, it will barely run it. Scarface is also great. John Wick, Wolf and Point break heists are good.
The bad: Biker is eh. Alesso is fun but a really confusing, headache inducing map. Bomb and Border Crossing are ok but are much more difficult than a regular heist. Goat Simulator will teach you true suffering.

Character: NEVER buy a DLC for its character or its character lines. I bought Sokol for that and used to love it until it got old fast. Most weapons which come with these are meh. BUY FOR THE PERK DECKS.
The good: Sydney is either a loved or hated character, her weapon is terrible, but she has one of the top three perk decks in the game, Anarchist. A must have. Clover has one of the 3 stealth perk decks, and definitely the most practical for all heists.
The not sure if good: Scarface has an alternate Muscle. I think Muscle is better, most people think Kingpin is better. Do your research. Sokol has Grinder, which used to be the most OP perk deck, now it's a shadow of what it used to be, and very vulnerable when just revived. Yakuza is a difficult to use speed perk deck for stealth, Dragan has a very weak but incredibly fun melee perk deck. Jacket has a slightly better version of Dragan, but only buyable with a much more expensive, but really awesome, game.
The bad: Biker has one of the worst perk decks in the game (also a terrible character). H3H3 has characters for fanboys and another terrible perk deck. Their weapons are good, but don't rescue them.

Weapon: Ok these ones are too many and won't mention them all. Just the highlights:
The good: Weapon 2 has great LMGs. Sniper has the Thanatos and the R93. Historical has the Buzzsaw and the Broomstick. BBQ has Molotovs, a primary flamethrower and the awesome Dragon's breath ammo type. Western has the Repeater and Dynamite. Chivalry has the good crossbows (though bad in non extreme difficulties).
The eh: Everything else. They have good but mediocre weapons, a single notable weapon, or in rare cases 2 which are not that notable. Ask me if you need details about those.
The bad: The OVERKILL pack. Both weapons have been surpassed with later updates, they're really mediocre now.

Sorry if this was too long, just CTRL+F if you want to see my opinion on a specific one.

Absolutely the best bang for your buck, by far. My list is if you don't have the money required. Though first play the base game, don't get stuck with it and later you don't like Payday 2.

Jacket is very loved by many, as you see. But careful if you do not. I placed it on meh due to it's perk deck. But also his weapon used to be great until the speed mag made the Mark 10 surpass it by far. Also, as I said, even if you like Jacket, it will get old fast. But, again as I said, his game, the one you need for this pack, is spectacular.

I already told you how great Big Bank and BBQ are, but despite shotguns being among the best weapons in the game, the Shotgun pack is really, really mediocre. The Raven is ok, good in stealth though, but not better than the Judge. M1014 is a better Predator, both of which are great and fun, until you get to higher difficulties, where the reloads make you very weak with it. The Street sweeper has an even worse reload. The ammo types are meh: Flechette is nullified by King's Crown Compensator and Donald's Horizontal Leveller. AP is an absolute shame. HE is a worse Dragon's Breath. 000 Buckshot is awesome, but it has been included now in the game without DLC. The Telescoping Baton is tied for best stealth melee though, but with the free Hackaton. The rest of melee weapons in this pack are useless.
