Years of updates have changed PAYDAY, but not always for the better. It's time to call back to some of the old sanity the game used to have - from the times before akimbo shotguns and speed-pull mags and quadstacks and dodge builds. Say goodbye to flat laser-tag recoil, because those akimbo shotguns are going to be just as violent to you as they are to everything in front of you.

This isn't PAYDAY gunplay as you know it. It's PAYDAY gunplay as it should have been from the start.

Extract to PAYDAY 2/mods.
SuperBLT and Beardlib are required.
WeaponLib is highly recommended since I'll probably end up making something rely on it without thinking. (Also because the modworkshop version has been updated to not wig the fuck out.)
PLAYING WITH INCOMPATIBLE MODS CAN CAUSE STRANGE RESULTS. SEE THE LISTS BELOW.

DEAR GOD PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK CONTACT ME ON DISCORD OR IN THE COMMENTS BELOW I'm one person. I don't have that much time to play the game.

THE BIG SUMMARY THE SHORT VERSION - Weapons, weapon mods, and enemies have been completely rebalanced. No more meta-slaving, no more massive skill point and weapon mod investments just to make a second-rate gun usable - if it can shoot, it can kill. - Weapon handling has been completely overhauled, making the difference between a small-caliber SMG and a double-barreled shotgun obvious on both sides of the barrel. Shooting straight is now a matter of short bursts and good recoil control, not of picking up a 100-stability laser tagger. - SLIDING! Enhanced movement! - A bunch of small changes that I haven't kept track of that I should probably list eventually, like being able to pan the camera around more while in a vehicle. - Has an options menu to let you change certain settings around.

KNOWN ISSUES - Rarely, certain custom weapons/parts have issues depending on where they're installed. Stock Attachment Pack seems to work better in mods than mod_overrides. - Lots of flavor text is still missing. - Concealment (for the purposes of being detected in stealth) and explosive projectile damage are both calculated by the host. The values you see may not be correct when you join a host using non-IREnFIST values. This cannot be fixed.

MOD COMPATIBILITY INFO (READ THIS BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT MOD WEIRDNESS AND CRASHING) - Mods that affect the stats of PAYDAY 2's weapons or weapon mods will conflict. - Custom weapon parts that are not explicitly supported by IREnFIST may have odd stats or incorrect zoom because InF uses its own stat tables. They are likely also balanced around base PAYDAY 2, causing further issues. - Custom guns will likely behave weirdly for the same reason. Only custom guns explicitly listed as supported below will fully work as intended. - InF modifies a number of important functions that may make it incompatible with certain important support mods for custom weapons e.g. custom weapon mechanics. For some of these, I've bundled a compatible version or independently duplicated the feature and applied it to custom weapons that use it. - Mods that significantly increase the enemy count might technically work, but InF isn't designed for it at all.

WITH EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS TO DMC/Noep, LazyOzzy, KarateF22, Seven, and pretty much the entire PAYDAY 2 modding community circa 2014-2016 - For partially/wholly "appropriated" code through IREnFIST's multiple iterations, and for unintentionally driving me to get my head out of my code-illiterate bunghole somehow. Fahrenheit - For actually playing the previous iterations of this mod with me for multiple years and helping get this one off the ground. Also, writing some melee weapon descriptions. Ricky Rio - For being the other guy who significantly helped with testing. Not for sucking at the video game, though. gitgud lol
