PAYDAY The Heist: Weapon and Enemy Statistics

Actual numbers (instead of vague descriptions) for the various weapons and enemies in the game. More will be added soon!

Introduction

This guide was primarily inspired by the outdated 'PAYDAY 2: The Numbers' by Big F and Faildozer and 'The Long Guide' by Frankelstner, which is readable here:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=267214370

The information presented here was obtained from the decompiled PAYDAY The Heist lua made available by gir489.

The pictures were extracted from the game using the wonderful bundle extractor available here:

Additional thanks to Paragon for checking if my stats weren't butchered.

Player Stats

Your default health is 300*. With Thick Skin fully upgraded, it becomes 400*.

Your base armor value however does not stay consistent, as it varies between difficulties as shown in the table below.
The number in parenthesis is the amount of armor you have if your body armor is fully upgraded.

Difficulty	Armor
Easy	60 (110)*
Normal	40 (90)*
Hard	20 (70)*
Overkill/Overkill 145+	10 (60)*

By default, you cannot take damage again for 0.3 seconds after being shot as long as the damage does not exceed what you previously took. For example, if an enemy deals 50* damage to you, you cannot take 50* damage or less again for 0.3 seconds.

Assuming similar mechanics to Payday 2, the game only takes into account the amount of damage you took before your armor broke. If you had 10* armor and an enemy dealt 50* damage to you, you've essentially only taken 10* damage. The subsequent shot from that enemy would still hit you during the cooldown, because it exceeds 10* damage.

On Easy this cooldown is 0.6 seconds, but on Overkill 145+ it is reduced to 0.15 seconds.

Weapons - Notes

The statistics here are presented as follows:
Damage and health values are multiplied by 10, since it's consistent with the way PAYDAY 2 does it. Numbers multiplied by 10 are marked with an asterisk.

Reload values are displayed as Fast/Slow.
Reload times for shotguns are a bit different, and are noted as such. Reload speed bonuses for shotguns are only applied when you start loading shells, not when you enter or exit the reload.

Accuracy is displayed as the maximum spread for Standing While Moving/Crouching While Moving/Standing/Crouching/Steelsight.

Numbers in parenthesis represent the fully upgraded value.

The Alert Size determines the range at which cops can hear your shots. This is 50 meters for many weapons, but there are exceptions. Assuming that it works similar to Payday 2, cops will generally prioritize targets that make alerts.

Recoil is not included at the moment.

Your weapon butt deals 15* damage.

Enemies - Notes

Every difficulty features different multipliers for hitpoints and an additional headshot multiplier on top the headshot multiplier defined for the enemies. The list is as follows:

Difficulty	Hitpoint Multiplier	Additional Headshot Multiplier
Easy	0.7	1.5
Normal	0.8	1
Hard	1	1
Overkill	1.5	1.5
Overkill 145+ (PS3 Version)	1.7	1.5
Overkill 145+	2	1.55

The default headshot multiplier is 2. Special units and a few normal ones have unique headshot multipliers.
To calculate the amount of damage you'll do with a headshot, multiply the headshot multiplier for the enemy by the additional headshot multiplier in the table above. Then multiply the resulting number by the weapon's damage.

[piIgore]

Good guide.

[Zdann]

Go ahead.

[Strange]

[Weschalo]

nice

[Archangel]

what do you think is 145+ too hard for a videogame?i dont like the difficulty overkill and below are fun.

[Zdann]

As per the Enemies - Notes section:
"The default headshot multiplier is 2."

[blueman]

How is the dozer HS multiplier after visor broken? Is it just 1x?

[Koytar]

nevermind I understood, I was dumb enough to not understand, my apologize for the bother when you'll see this

[Koytar]

I just want to keep the max upgrades value, though

[Koytar]

So I made a mod that replace the vague description for each weapons, bags, crew bonuses and perks, and I wanted to know how spread works. For ex: "3.5/3.5/3.5/3.5/1.4 (spread*0.8 (1.12)) degrees"
