Weapons

• Improved weapon NATO/Warsaw/Ster Wers weapon tracers
• Added more fitting spent casings for the Marlin SBL
• Changed the spent casing effect of the ShAK-12 (and anything using it's spent casing effect) to be consistent with the other spent casing effects
• Electric grenade self-tase is no longer fixed to 2 meters and its range now matches the tase range for enemies
• Molotovs and Incendiary grenades (both the throwable and launcher versions) now have an AoE blast
  • Compared to the 50% burn proc rate of the firepools they create, the AoE blast has a 100% chance to proc burn.
  • Damage of the AoE blast matches that of the firepool's: 60 to enemies, 30 to players
• HE Slugs (and anything that uses ExplosiveBulletBase, like explosives arrows and bolts) now deal direct damage; the damage is split between the slug/projectile itself and the explosion
  • The direct impact can headshot and proc + benefit from the OVERKILL skill
• 48+ damage ARs, LMGs/MMGs and semi-auto snipers have increased ADS recoil while moving
  • 15% more recoil for LMGs/MMGs when moving while ADS
  • 10% more recoil for semi-auto snipers when moving while ADS
  • 5% more recoil for ARs when moving while ADS
  • Moving recoil penalty excludes 40 damage ARs, the AKMSU (+ akimbo), MG42 and any MG that cannot use a functional bipod
• Certain weapons have additional recoil mults applied during sustained automatic fire; the multiplier resets when you stop shooting:
  • LMGs/MMGs have their recoil reduced by up to 20%
  • Miniguns have their recoil reduced by up to 40%
  • Flamethrowers have their recoil reduced by up to 75%
  • Battle Rifles have their recoil increased by up to 15%
  • Heavy ARs (60 damage) have their recoil increased by up to 8%
  • Shotguns have their recoil increased by up to 10%
• Moved the HCAR back to being a machine gun
  • It was made a DMR since it'd be a "DMR with MG ammo pool" but since MGs were made worse at popping heads compared to non-MGs of similar damage tiers, it being an MG should be less of an issue
• Moved the HK51b to the 60 damage tier; stats adjusted as needed
  • The 90 damage MGs already have the HK21 and MG42 competing with each other, having another high RoF MG in that damage tier is a bit much in addition to the RPK having no competition in its tier
• Increased the concealment rating (now mobility rating) of most weapons
• BeardLib custom weapons:
  • Added support for:
    • RJC's Payday 3 GM6 Lynx
    • RJC's SIG XM250

Skills

• Bullseye now has a cooldown reduction upon getting lethal headshots; CD reduction does not apply if you are using Anarchist
• Lowered the encumbrance requirement to gain dodge/crit/movement speed from Sneaky Bastard/Low Blow/Moving Target from 35 to 30
  • The increased weapon mobility ratings on top of armor having higher mobility ratings makes it rather easy to get in the lowered encumbrance range
  • Basic versions of these skills now instead scale in steps of 2 points of encumbrance instead of 3; the new minimum encumbrance rating needed to max out the basic versions of these skills is now 10 instead of 5 (technically 4 as 5 isn't a possible value).
    • While this does make the Aced versions of these skills "weaker" by virtue of the encumbrance gap between the Basic and Ace versions of the skills being shortened from 5 to 25 points (a 20 point diff) to 10 to 20 points (a 10 point diff), the Aced versions still have their additional bonuses
• Deep Pockets aced no longer gives increased armor to light armors. Lighter armors base armor values increased to compensate.
  • The skill was basically mandatory, should make lighter armors more competitive.
• Gave half of the total ADS speed bonus of "The Professional" to "Rifleman" aced.
  • "Rifleman" was a relatively weak skill on top of "The Professional" doing too much for other weapon classes that don't have a dedicated ADS speed bonus skill
• Dodge grace is now based on dodge rating instead of "armor used vs % of damage grace for the current difficulty"
  • Every point of dodge yields 10ms of dodge grace in addition to the damage grace period; a maximum dodge rating of 45 will yield 450ms of dodge grace
    • Mayhem, Deathwish and Death Sentence will apply their reductions to damage grace periods to your dodge grace cap as well; Mayhem and DW reduce the cap by 100ms (350ms max), DS by 200ms (250ms max).

Perk Decks

• Ex-Pres
  • Reduced armor regen delay reductions on kill effects
• Anarchist
  • Corrected the tick regen values to match the described "equivalent of 8 armor per second"
    • Increased the tick delays while also increasing the armor gained per tick
• Yakuza
  • Slight reduction of the additional bonus dodge grace duration from 200% to 150%
    • This increases the minimum dodge rating needed to reach the 900ms dodge grace duration cap from 30 to 36 as well needing lower health to reach the full effect
• Hacker
  • Pocket ECM:
    • Duration was reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds
    • Range was reduced from 15 meters to 10 meters
    • Stun intervals were reduced from every 1.2 seconds to every 2 seconds
    • Cooldown reduction was reduced from 2.5 seconds per kill to 1.5 seconds per kill
  • Healing from kills with an active PECM was increased from 5 per kill to 6 per kill

Difficulty Tweaks

• Bravo Dozers can now throw frag grenades on all difficulties.
• Skulldozers now take less damage from explosives than other dozers (excluding titandozers)
• Captain Spring/Hatman has 2 more Titan Tasers/Cloakers on DS (from 2 to 4).
• Autumn's squad now has:
  • 3 Cloakers on Mayhem (from 2)
  • 4 Cloakers on Death Wish (from 3)
  • 5 Titan Cloakers from Death Sentence (from 4)
• Murkywater units are now fully replaced with OMNIA units during PJ PONRs (or with Hardline mutator)
• Increased Winters maximum squad size.
• Increased Blackdozer sprint speed.
• Winters' shields are immune to ECM feedback effects on Death Sentence.
• On Death Sentence, Bosses that use machine guns (such as The Commissar or Gabriel) have knockback abilities applied.
• Enemies with weapons that apply knockback or concuss/stun you now fire colored tracers to make it easier to identify the source of these effects
  • Enemies that apply knockback effects (Titan Gunners, Cpt. Spring) have a red-ish tone to their tracers
  • Enemies that apply Concussion/Stun effects (Titan Shotgunners, Titan Tasers) have a blue-ish tone to their tracers
• Additional Pro Job miseries:
  • Ammo pickup and reload speeds are reduced
    • The blanket 33% ammo pickup increase is removed
    • The blanket 10% reload speed increase is removed
  • Dodge grace cap is further reduced by 100ms
    • Playing a DSPJ heist will result in a dodge grace cap of 150ms

Holdout

• Added a new modifier starting on wave 6 that allows LPFs and Winters to overheal shield units.

Crime Spree

• Added a new modifier that makes cloakers spawn in their own groups.

Mutators

• Mutators now save which ones you have activated and will properly load them when restarting the game.
• Added an option to disable the color swap for the Assault Banner if mutators are active.
• Added new mutators including:
  • Overheal Expert (LPF units can overheal most of the police force, including special units and captains)
  • Enhanced Power (ASU units can now buff special unit weapons at max strength like on DS, also includes an option to buff captain's weapons)
  • Your Opinion - My Choice (Flashbangs are now indestructible like on DS, includes an option for faster flashbangs explosions)
  • Total Carnage (Non-Bravo enemies can now throw frag grenades)
  • Everlasting Season (Allows to change captains that may appear in heists, supports multi-day heists as well)
  • Sneaky Squad (From Crime Spree, Cloakers now tend to spawn in their own groups)
  • Budget Buffs (All enemies replaced with their titan counterparts)
  • Expert Realism (Majority of outlines are disabled as well as name labels above players/bots)

Stealth Tweaks

• Cameras can now pan their field of view to cover more area. This also allows more counter-play to cameras by taking advantage of their moving field of view.
• You can now mark unalerted civilians in stealth.
• Guards sounding the alarm will now instead force the suspicion to max, giving you 60 seconds to try and finish stealth.
  • To simulate police response, some triggers will still force an instant alarm.
• Concealment has been replaced with Mobility. It no longer affects your detection range/buildup in stealth, and you're always considered having '3' detection risk compared to the old system. Instead, it contributes to your encumbrance, which still factors into skills like Sneaky Bastard/Low Blow.
  • This was done to make stealth less binary and allow loud transitions easier.
• Detection Risk has been replaced with Encumbrance.
  • Every 3 points of encumbrance over 50 adds 0.25 seconds to your stamina regen delay to a maximum of 2 additional seconds.

Heists

• Murky units will now spawn on The Bomb: Forest to take back their bomb from the players and Reapers.
