PAYDAY 3 Update 1.000.028 Patch Notes (v1.1.4)

New Additions

Infamy Points Replace Challenges

Infamy Points are replacing the old challenges with a new leveling system. The menu remains the same for now.

Rotating Loud Modifiers

To address difficulty concerns, we’ve added 6 new loud modifiers. These add variety to gameplay without just increasing enemy HP. For more details, check out our blog post.

New Modifiers:

1. Federal Negotiator: Players need hostages to leave custody. The cost increases with each custody or civilian kill.
2. Combat Duo: Two of each special can spawn, with an extra special allowed. Techies and Cloakers are excluded for now.
3. Crippling Tactics: Certain attacks remove EDGE, GRIT, and RUSH stacks.
4. Armor-Piercing Rounds: 5% of damage to armor also affects health.
5. Alpha Team: Regular SWAT replaced with Heavy SWAT.
6. Tactical Flashlights: Shields now have blinding lights.

New Stealth Modifiers

We’ve also added 2 new stealth modifiers to keep stealth challenging.

New Modifiers:

1. AI Surveillance: No security room guard, cameras stay active.
2. Threat Detection: Cameras detect players as if they are masked.

Assassin Skill Line

Introducing the Assassin skill line, perfect for stealth and loud gameplay, focusing on silencers, marking, and efficient takedowns.

Mask of the Week

Each week, a new mask will be on sale at a discount. Due to technical delays with Daily Activities, mask prices are temporarily lowered.

First Mask: Waifu, available for a week and a half.
