Well, after many, many cups of noodles, stress and lack of motivation. Here it is.
The Battlefield Soundpack Project. BF Project as i like to call it.
This is a complete overhaul of Payday's sounds only using sounds from the Battlefield series. Mainly sounds from Battlefield Hardline. As the sound design from that game works incredibly well with Payday. The rule i put was if the gun was in both 4 and Hardline, i'd use Hardline sounds. This doesn't mean you won't encounter sounds from other games, i utilized every last game in Battlefield's lineup to fill out each and every single gun in Payday. So far, every gun sound (excluding some specials) and almost every single reload sound has been replaced. My goal is to overhaul every 28kHz sound in Payday with higher quality 48kHz versions from the battlefield sound library i have. This has always been the goal. Hence why it's a "soundpack" and not a "weapon soundpack".
**Yes, i know that sound mods like this already exist, to a degree.** The issue is that alot of the mods that do fill this specific niche are horribly outdated, missing the majority of sounds of newer guns, breaking the sounds in the game, the audio quality....not being the best. I felt like the need for a new soundpack involving Battlefield was needed. That is one of the reasons i decided to make this.
Now i will have to say, this is mostly a **work in progress.** Most reload sounds are done but not all, some akimbos may not be done and 84% of suppressors are still base game. This is due to one of 2 things. 1 i do not have easy access to these sounds (ie do not have them unlocked in game, no recordings of it or unable to piece together the gunshot in the game files). Or 2 i lack the current motivation for them. (but having released this will definitely motivate me more)
But don't worry, i am planning on replacing every sound i reasonably can. Expect weekly(ish) updates :)
This mod has been worked on since late 2020 and i am seriously glad to say that it's in a excellent state for the public.
A major thanks to everyone who has helped me along this long journey.
My wonderful boyfriend for his love, support and motivation to get this done.
Alcat for his support in my rookie modding career
A major, serious thanks Gnederz for the Thumbnail, Banner certain recordings of a few sounds. If you haven't checked out his mods i please encourage you to absolutely do so, i use his tan merc glove reskin all the time. https://modworkshop.net/user/91079
And everyone else who has contributed to this. Thank you all.
Please, if you have any issues with certain sounds, things that could be improved upon please i encourage you to leave your thoughts in the comments. I will be improving and perfecting this mod as time goes on.
~~**ON THE SECOND FILE** I have also decided to add a firerate rebalance to help along with the sounds. As some sounds in hardline were designed around the firerate. Does this make make some weapons overpowered? Eh, not really. Completely **optional** and goes in mods.~~
~~**ON THE THIRD FILE** I decided to include an optional menu track intended for preplanning, it uses BFH's spawn menu tracks that i mixed together myself. This also goes in mod_overrides.~~
To access these files, you can get them from here. https://modworkshop.net/mod/33416 as the beardlib auto updater doesn't support multiple files in the same workshop page.
**PLEASE CHECK THE DEPENDANCIES ON HOW TO INSTALL**
or if you don't wanna check it's mod_overrides and requires SuperBLT
**AND Please check the license for more info about the addition of non-weapon SFX before commenting about reverting back to the game's default sounds**
A dingleberry sized update, but nonetheless an important one Updated the Shak-12 to be compatible and sound better with PlayBONK's [ShAK-12 Animation](https://modworkshop.net/mod/34695). I highly recommend this mod as it vastly improves the animation above what it was. Also sorry for the lack of anything else new, been busy with projects for other games and i'm very burnt out on PD2.
2.9.5
Bout time amirite? Added the new weapons from the most recent DLC. Reload and firing sounds for both the Type-54, RUS revolver and the ShAK-12. The exception being the RUS reload as it reuses the bronco anims and reload sounds because ovk is wonderfully lazy. Along with a rework of the Thanatos and adding the reload sounds for the funny Airbow.
2.9.0
Little fix: removed the drill loop sound for now, until i can add all the sounds for it along with possibly setting up a second version.
2.8.5
Minor Update: Added reload sounds for the HRL-7 and a better firing sound, and added reload sounds for both the M203 underbarrel and the GP30. If you have AFSF2 and Wlib you will not have firing sounds because reasons. Added a ammo pickup sound and custom ECM jammer sounds (but not feedback yet). With some **drill sounds** from hardline, that's still work in progress though so you get some weird cutting
2.8.0
Minor Update: Added reload sounds to the last 3 non-special weapons. Being the Holt 9mm, Goliath 12g and the Peacemaker revolver. Making my soundpack have custom reload sounds for all weapons (excluding specials for now). Added suppressor sounds for the Cavity 9mm and deployment sounds. Along with a irl bolt sound of a HK417 i put on the Little Friend as a little test.
2.7.0
Minor Update: gunna put this up to hold ya'll off till the next next week, as i'm going to not be able to put any work into my soundpack this upcoming week. Added the reload and firing sounds for the Piglet Grenade Launcher, Added AK.762 DMR firing sounds, Reload sounds for the AK17 Rifle were slightly refined, but not perfected to what i wanted. Clair 12g reload sounds added and left in a bit of what i'm trying out for the Holt 9mm (thanks Leon uwu)
2.6.0
Update: wow, thanks ya'll for using my mod. Really means alot. Added reload sounds for the Igor Automatik (Stechkin), Czech 92 Pistol, M13 9mm, Frenchman 87 (pretty scuffed though, ovk fucked up the triggers), Added reload and improved the sounds for the R700, AK Gen 21, Miyaka SMG (if ovk won't take that gun seriously, i won't either. lol) and the China Puff GL. For the last one, i highly, highly recommend download this fix i uploaded that Cpone made. https://modworkshop.net/mod/33551 to fix the weird pumping trigger problem the Puff has.
2.5.0
Major Update: within a single week, nice. So i got some big stuff going on in this update and the future. I am now using XML tweaks to make reload sounds even more consistent and better. For example, the Deagle Pistol now has it's own dedicated sounds, PPK(Gruber Kurz) has not only dedicated custom sounds, it also has slightly different sounds for partial and empty! Same goes for the Izhma 12g. The G17 set of sounds are now at last, final. Refined the Rattlesnake sounds, Added reload sounds for the Swedish K and Chicago Typewriter SMG. Also added firing sounds for the Minigun, for the newer players. ofc.
2.4.0
Update: aye month long wait with little new content. lol. Added some new akimbo sounds, still not all but alot more. Added suppressor sounds for the AMR16, AK.762, Famas and the Union 5.56 along with another rework of it's reload sounds. Added a pretty scuffed but currently best attempt at a RPG7 firing sound. Added reload sounds for the GL40 and Compact 40mm. Sorry for the wait and little content. Not exactly sure where to go apart from the funny suppressors.
Removed the firerate rebalance and the menu track for the time being until i can figure out how to specify the main file in the auto-updater.
2.3.0
Minor Update: Fixed the script along with fixing the auto updates xd So now it will actually auto update once you install **this version**. I refined a few reload sounds in my pass time. This includes the Desertfox, UAR and Union. Also i'm uploading this in the middle of adding akimbo sounds, so you'll get a few of those too.
2.2.5
Man i took my time with this one didn't i? Well, sorry for the wait. Not having much motivation to put towards this recently. But i have something for you.

Added Reload Sounds: RPK LMG, Broomstick Pistol, Street Sweeper, Generic Revolver reload set, Matever revolver, Nagant Rifle, Mosconi 12g SBS, Trench Shotgun, MP40 and the Itheca! (Fun fact, the itheca uses an XAudio script, so that means **SuperBLT** is a requirement now!)
Added weapon switching sounds too.
2.1.0
A quick update: Added the firing sounds for new ~~absolutely terrible~~ Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2 weapons. along with somereload sounds for the Groza and full (somewhat) reload sounds for the QBU88. This dlc is a disaster, need to figure a bunch of stuff out to refine everything in this new pack.
