BFD Upgrades

[FloatingToadThing]

Can someone clarify to me exactly what these 2 BFD upgrades do? Additional Engine Power and Extra Battery. I've heard some people say that it allows BFD to drill while disconnected, halves the amount of cables to protect, or speeds up BFD's cutting process.

Extra Battery makes the drill work from just one power source instead of two. Description is misleading.

Thanks, didn't want to have to play a bunch of 30 minute heists just to make sure.

Actually, scratch that. I could be wrong. I'll see if I can find out on me own and will post again if I do. Wiki says the same thing, but I'm still not sure.

I can confirm the extra battery makes it so you only need to gaurd one power outlet instead of 2, and extra engine power reduces the time necesary to get into the vault. you can find more info on the drills page of the payday wiki.

Yeah, I'm taking a quick peak through the source code.
I don't really know code, but so far the only thing I found, that was interesting, was an asset titled "menu_pp_asset_kenaz_rig_slotmachine"
and an escape titled "menu_pp_asset_kenaz_wrecking_ball_escape"

In addition to text about an elevator key, being able to stop the drill, and choose a floor for the elevator to stop on (presumably the elevator used to bring the bags up, not the one to hide in)

Still looking for, and trying to understand the drill upgrades, though

Oh god, imagine all the "I came in like a wrecking ball" parodies they'd be :P

I'm more disappointed that I put the suggestion of using ECMs to rig machines, in the major suggestions thread, and LGL beat me to it, but disabled it.
Additionally, I'm curious how the wrecking ball escape would have worked.
I mean, with the blimp, van and limo, the ♥♥♥♥ is already there for us. How the ♥♥♥♥ would a wrecking ball come into play, and be a better escape than a limo, van, or blimp ?

Perhaps the wrecking ball would smash through one of the Vault walls? Like maybe the EXTACT wall where the ai can walk through and no bullet holes show?

Imo i think there is no secret in LGL and the wall where they think opens up to a secret vault was going to be for the Wrecking Ball escape. Well anyway, that's my explanation and perhaps LGL thought it'd be too OP and easy compared to the other escapes so they got rid of it after they coded it in and all.

Wonder where where the ball has to come from to break a hole in an underground fortified vault

The crew pays the blimp guy to lift the casino high enough, to smash through the vault.

-Added portal gun.

Until you realise that you used the portal color that you placed in your safehouse in the vault.

You are forgetting the vualt has gold walls, not moon ones.
