Why do so many people mod/ Hack this game?

[Talilover]

To clarify I don't have a issue with nifty things like Hud improvements or stuff like but something like Silent assassin which essentially puts this game on baby mode when doing stealth or going a step further and straight up hacking to do things like insta finish drills/move all loot/ keep enemies from showing up yada yada.

Like that kills any purpose of playing the game right, and if you really wanna do that garbage the least you could do is just do it by yourself/ in a private lobby no?

Idk, just gets old waiting to join a game only to see that peeps are cheating over and over

[Stolas! ❤]

My best guess is either boredom or they don't like the grind.

I think its mostly because they don't actually want to improve at the game, so they hack it, despite its a co-op game, so it makes no sense. I think my current record is 3 hackers in a row

Mostly kids with no money to actually buy dlc and stuff get scripts and fail at missions

Honestly tempted to create a fake hack or kiddy script and charge people for it. Would really burn some hackers. I will then use the money paid to pay google to set mine as the first link.

Honestly, theres a lot of stuff that would have been cool, or should be reworked, like giving Clover an AR18 because IRA stuff I guess

You can add custom weapons.

OP is referring to people cheating.

Some folks like making others not have fun, others because they want to "be good", and others simply because they're bored

for fun

also most of us suck at stealth

There are some people out there that want to ruin the gameplay for other people.

I like using mods like ”save the civilians” which allows turrets to supress civilians like in mercy hospital or other gameplay changing mods to mold payday into a certain vision of what I want payday to be but only use them in singleplayer. I use mods to spice it up, change the game, adjust it to what I want from a heisting game. After playing this for probably 6 or 7 years across multiple platforms and accounts I just want to re-experience it and change how I approach it.

Don’t understand cheating however, definatly agree with you there considering the point of the game is to hold of enemies waiting for the drill and getting the loot to tve escape. If you remove the enemies, the drill and spawn in the loot, what do you have left?

Hope it gives you some perspective into why I mod my game, though it might not really answer much.

Some people enjoy cheating, its just the way they like to play. There's nothing wrong with cheating as long as its in a private game and everybody agrees too it. People buy games for fun, they shouldn't have to justify anything to anyone as long as they're not ruining anyone's game or pirating content.

Why are peeps bringing up random mods/gameplay alterations when the OP specified things like silent assassin and carry stacker? Almost no one cares if you're using custom weapons provided they're balanced.

[Badstyles]

nowadays there is no time for anything who works doesn’t want to waste time, people buy the game, play as they like, if the lobby you entered was public, you don’t like the game mode, abandon the game and keep your regrets for you calimero

[Hellnickell]

modding is really easy since you can change everything in the game so people use it for their advantage

idk i guess peep get bored and instead of idk lowering dificulty or raising it they deside they want to be the god of crime
