People often ask: "If Payday: The Heist is so good, why is there no Payday: The Heist 2?"
Well, there you go!
A mod that turns the game into a (mediocre) tactical shooter.
While it is not a requirement, it is highly recommended to use Streamlined Heisting in combination with this.
You may try and use another mod that improves enemy AI (such as REAI, LIES or FSS) which should work fine as well but the mod is mainly tested with Streamlined Heisting.
This mod doesn't touch your save file, skills or inventory.
NOTE: This mod locks matchmaking and you will only be able to play with people that are also using it. When enabling or disabling the mod from the BLT mods menu make sure to restart the game to avoid issues.
You can also find this mod on GitHub, so if you want to help with anything, feel free to fork the project, make changes and create a pull request when you're done.
