Jupiter nerfed

[Kaliwirta]

whats the point of jupiter now that she can only carry 2 bags?

On top of culling the last of their special abilities, they've also cut down everyone's skill tiers in multiplayer for no apparent reason. From 3 3 2 to 3 2 1. Completely uncalled for. All that's left of them are a couple of unique weapons that very select few of them have, and Buddy (probably just to keep his DLC enticing).

And now that we have tier 3 boss perks in this same update, there's practically no reason to ever play as preset team members once you've got a half-decent loadout unlocked.

It mentions "in basic variant" in the patch notes. Maybe if you complete her story in Baker's Battle you'd get the ability to carry a third bag?

End of an era, i want my girl back

[Kuro X Kage]

Devs pls stop nerfing fun stuff. This is pve, things dont need to become tedious. Rip my girl Jup

[JAZZMAN]

Yeah I am sad for that nerf. Jupiter's whole thing for me was to have the chance for her mission to pop up, do her mission and then enjoy her unique 3 bag perk! I hope they reconsider! Otherwise, she doesn't feel any different to the others anymore.

So I guess I have to let her die in a run in order to play her story again because I already completed it a few runs ago. I mean, she still only coems with her baseball bat instead of her own SPX when I rehire her.

Definitely shouldn't be doing nerfs...

Instead of nerfing characters and other stuff on the players, if things are feeling too strong just make a new higher difficulty level.
Could even go the Payday 2 route of Death Wish where in the new difficulty changed things in maps to make them somewhat harder, including in stealth.

I dont understand why they did that, is there a specific reason mentioned anywhere why your team mates can no longer have 2 legendary perks?
its such an extreme nerf and it didnt feel overpowered at all before, if anything the bots felt underpowered and now they are so much weaker

Same.

[Flavio93Zena]

As the announcement said, it's part of a bigger plan that will be revealed in due time. I have NDA on details, sorry.

[Ballistic Groove Gun]

In lieu of details on account of them not being disclosed to us yet, I am going to wildly speculate and refer to a note in Update 10;

• New Boss skin for THERESA (enhanced variant).
• New Boss skin for VAMP (enhanced variant).

Feel like there's going to be enhanced variants for all non-generic characters down the line. Also feel like that's where their perk ranks ran off to.

[Coffee]

They should nerf her apparence too. Shaped like Brock Lesnar but now too scared of lifting more than two bags.

Ah well, we'll have to wait to see what will unfold. Because to be fair the "Carrying 3 bags" was th eone thing that made Jupiter stand out. She still comes with a 2% cut so that's neat if you need to squeeze out the extra money and with Health 3 she can take some extra damage, I guess.

At least for the moment she's not a Must Have for certain heists, but I'm gonna miss my "Let's carry 4 bags lol" Jupiter for a while.

Extreme? Lmao, not really. Barely even affects some characters. Actual bots themselves are now much better in combat.
