This helmet with the patterns would fit great for the ARMOR 2.0 update. They would combine well with the armor... they will give us armor skins that day, right? (images from Payday Crime War)

Will hostages be freed if their head is hidden?

It is a well-known glitch that if a hostage’s head is glitched into a wall, or hidden in general, they will be undetected in stealth. Is the same applied when things go loud? Will the police not be able to find the hostage?

Payday 3 ideas

Since the gang is broke at the start of the game, it doesn’t make much sense to me that they already have all this advanced hardware and next-generation drills. While I like these tools and think they’re cool, I feel the game could benefit from starting with older, less efficient equipment—like the classic drills that constantly break. This would slow progression a bit, expand gameplay customization, and provide more opportunities to spend money as you upgrade your gear over time.

Another feature I’d love to see is an expanded arsenal, particularly melee weapons (or even just a knife skill) and more secondary weapons beyond pistols. This would improve the flow of gameplay, especially in close-quarters combat, and make defensive strategies in tight spaces more viable. With the lack of armor regeneration, I’ve often found myself overwhelmed in confined areas, even when using cover.

On another note, I’d like to see more intelligent guards. I’m not sure how others feel about this, but I don’t enjoy how easy it is to wander around without a mask while robbing a place. While it’s a fun mechanic, I’ve always wondered if there could be a limit to how many times a player can be spotted in private areas before being forced to mask up. Adding this would make the stealth aspect more challenging and rewarding.

Finally, I think RNG (randomized elements) on heists would be a great addition. For example, with the return of First World Bank, it would be awesome if details like the location of the back door, the manager, or the keycard door were randomized. These elements kept the original game feeling fresh with every attempt. Without RNG, I’ve seen players exploit their knowledge of objective locations from previous matches—figuring out a code, restarting, and rushing to the vault in under a minute. RNG would eliminate this and make each heist feel unique and engaging.

What you all think of these?

Multi-tag scanner second slot

having 850+ hours in PD3 I sometimes started paying attention to smaller things to not die from boredom and this is no exception.
For some reason the tag machine has a second slot that just sits there collecting dust, really annoying, wish it could hold a second batch

Is the online still full of others?

Ps5 here, since payday 3 has been out is this game dead or should I download and try it out, are the lobbies still packed with other players?

Sorry for the questions that might sound dumb but I truly have no idea..

Do The Sideways Double Barrels in 2 Feel Horrible to Anyone Else?

Like, the Joceline feels really good imo, easy to aim unscoped at close to mid range, and if you aim you can easily dome snipers across the map. Statistically the Mosconi and the secondary double barrel are as good or better in every way, but they both feel way worse to use and aim imo? Is it just that I'm not used to, or do they behave differently from the Joceline?
